Breast Augmentation: Your Comprehensive Guide!

Breast augmentation is a procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and overall appearance of the breasts. Whether you're seeking to restore volume after pregnancy, improve breast symmetry, or simply achieve a more proportionate figure, breast augmentation can help you feel more confident and satisfied with your body. But what does the process look like from start to finish? Here’s a breakdown of everything you need to know about breast augmentation, from consultation to the surgery and recovery.

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, also known as breast implants or boob job, is a cosmetic surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the size, shape, or fullness of the breasts. This procedure can address various concerns!

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries because it offers a solution to various aesthetic goals. Whether you're enhancing your figure or restoring your breast's natural appearance, the procedure can have a profound effect on your self-esteem.

Who Chooses Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is often chosen by individuals who are looking for a boost in self-confidence, improved body proportions, or simply a change in their physical appearance. Common reasons people opt for breast augmentation include:

• Desire for fuller breasts: Many individuals with naturally small breasts feel that augmentation will create a more balanced and proportional figure.

• Post-pregnancy changes: After pregnancy and breastfeeding, women may notice their breasts lose volume or firmness. Augmentation can restore their previous appearance or create a more youthful look.

• Asymmetry: Some individuals have one breast larger than the other, and augmentation can help achieve more symmetry.

Ultimately, the decision to undergo breast augmentation is deeply personal. It’s about achieving the look you desire and feeling comfortable in your skin.

The Breast Augmentation Journey: From Consultation to Surgery

Step 1: The Pre-Surgical Consultation Call

Once you've decided that breast augmentation is the right choice for you, your journey begins with an initial call. During this free pre-surgical consultation call, you'll speak with one of our friendly and knowledgeable patient care coordinators. They’ll guide you through the process, give you information about our practice, help you pick the right surgeon that fits your needs, answer any questions you might have, and collect some basic information about your medical history and aesthetic goals.

This call is a great opportunity for you to express your concerns, discuss your motivations for breast augmentation, and get an overview of the procedure. Your surgical coordinator will schedule your in-person consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons and make sure all your pre-consultation paperwork is ready.

Step 2: Your Consultation with the Surgeon

At this stage, you’ll meet with one of our two amazing, board-certified plastic surgeons, who each have extensive experience performing breast augmentation surgeries. Our surgeons are highly skilled, with years of expertise in helping patients achieve the look they desire. They will listen carefully to your concerns and help you define the best approach for your surgery.

During your consultation, you’ll discuss:

• Your aesthetic goals: What size and shape do you envision for your breasts? If you have any specific preferences or expectations, this is the time to talk about them.

• Choosing the right implant: You’ll discuss the range of silicone implants offered, the shape, and the size that will work best for you based on your body frame and goals.

• Surgical approach: Your surgeon will explain where the incisions will be placed (under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit) and how the implants will be positioned (either above or below the muscle).

• Sending Wish Photos: You’ll also have the chance to send in “wish photos” to your patient care coordinator. These are photos of the breast size and shape you’re hoping to achieve. By sharing these images, we can ensure that your expectations align with what’s achievable through the procedure.

This consultation is your opportunity to ask any questions and ensure you’re comfortable with the surgical plan. Our surgeons are committed to making you feel confident and informed every step of the way.

Step 3: Surgery Day

On the day of your breast augmentation surgery, you’ll arrive at our office, where we have a state-of-the-art surgical suite ready to ensure a smooth, safe procedure. Our surgical team will be with you every step of the way, guiding you through the process with care and professionalism.

Here’s what to expect on surgery day:

• Pre-Surgery Preparation: Once you arrive, our team will help you get ready for surgery, including administering anesthesia to ensure you're comfortable and relaxed throughout the procedure.

• The Surgery Itself: The procedure usually lasts around 1-2 hours. Your surgeon will carefully place the implants according to your pre-discussed plan, ensuring that everything is perfectly aligned to achieve your desired look.

• Recovery Time: After the surgery, you’ll rest in a recovery area until you’re ready to go home. Our OR nurse will go over post-surgery instructions, including guidance on caring for your incisions and how to manage any discomfort. You will also receive prescriptions for any necessary pain relief or antibiotics.
