Combining Plastic Surgery Procedures For Stunnıng Results
Our plastic surgeon may be able to enhance your results by combining breast augmentation surgery with:
Breast Lift
Though breast augmentation cannot raise your breasts, a breast lift can. Depending on your candidacy, our doctor may be able to combine your breast implant placement surgery with a breast lift. This procedure results in perkier, fuller breasts that still look completely natural.
Mommy Makeover
If you've felt unhappy with your post-pregnancy body, you can regain your confidence with a mommy makeover. A mommy makeover is a custom procedure that can include breast implants, liposuction, and a tummy tuck. Rest assured, our plastic surgeon will only combine breast augmentation with other procedures if it's safe for you.
Breast Augmentation Procedure
Breast augmentation surgery can typically be completed in about one to two hours. General steps to this process include:
Anesthesia: Breast augmentation can be performed under general anesthesia or under regional anesthesia with sedation. Be assured that the ideal type of anesthesia for your case will be used. Afterward, it is normal to feel tired and groggy, but you will recover in a few hours.
Incisions: Once you are comfortable, your surgeon will create an incision. The type and location will be dependent on your unique needs. However, most incisions are placed in the crease under the breast, the armpit, or around the areola. Your plastic surgeon will strategically place the incisions to minimize scarring.
Implant placement: Once the sites are prepared, the breast implants will be placed. These may be positioned above or beneath the pectoral muscle, depending on your unique case. Our team will discuss your options with you in detail during your initial consultation.
Stitches: After the implants have been placed, the incisions will be closed with surgical sutures. In most cases, absorbable stitches will be used. This means they will fall out on their own during the healing process.
Bandages: Your plastic surgeon may place surgical drains in your incisions to help reduce swelling and inflammation. You will also be fitted for a compression garment which will help support and contour the healing tissues.
Incision Options for Breast Augmentation
One common question that patients have before breast augmentation is, “What will my scars look like?” You’ll be glad to learn that an experienced, qualified cosmetic surgeon will use a surgical technique that places breast augmentation incisions so the resulting scars are easily hidden and inconspicuous, even to the patient themself. Depending on your anatomy and your desired outcome, your cosmetic surgeon will use one of the following incision techniques to place your breast implants:
Inframammary: This involves a short incision made in the crease underneath the breast, called the inframammary fold. This leaves a thin, 1 to 2 inch scar that is easily concealed within the crease. Advantages of this incision type include a wider access point, allowing a cosmetic surgeon to place larger silicone implants or gummy bear implants with precision.
Peri-areolar: The incision is made around the outer edge of the areola, so the resulting scar is located within this natural transition in pigmentation. Cosmetic surgeons will often use this incision type if they are also performing a mild to moderate breast lift at the same time.
Trans-axillary: This involves a small incision made within the armpit, through which your cosmetic surgeon will place the breast implant using a specialized camera and instruments to ensure optimal placement. This leaves a small scar within the armpit but achieves a breast augmentation with no scar on the breast itself.
Transumbilical: This technique involves an incision just above the belly button. Each breast implant is inserted through this incision and then brought up to the breast. Advantages of the transumbilical technique include a single scar with no scarring on the breast itself.

Results & Recovery: Life After Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure, typically performed using general anesthesia. You can expect to walk around on your own a few hours after surgery, and most patients feel up to leaving the house within the next day or two.
You may feel sore the first week or so, and you will need to limit strenuous exercise for about 2-4 weeks. Your cosmetic surgeon may also ask you to wear a supportive surgical bra or sports bra for a certain period of time after breast augmentation it is crucial to follow your cosmetic surgeon’s instructions to ensure you heal optimally.
If your breast implants are placed partially beneath the pectoral muscle the preferred method in most cases your breasts may seem to sit high on the chest at first. This is normal, and your implants will settle into their optimal position over the next several weeks, with final results after a couple of months.
Once you have your breast implants, you’ll want to keep the following in mind:
- It’s safe to have mammograms with breast implants, so be sure to maintain regular screening as prescribed by your doctor.
- For silicone implants, it is recommended that patients undergo periodic monitoring (via mammogram, ultrasound or MRI) to screen for ruptures, which are rare.
- Future pregnancies or weight fluctuations may affect your results, and a secondary surgery may be needed to correct any changes you are unhappy with over time.
- Nothing can stop the normal aging process; over time, breast tissue will change. You can help prevent unnecessary sagging by wearing a bra with adequate support for your activity level.
