The goal of breast augmentation is to enlarge, or reshape, the breast. It involves placing an implant either above or under the chest muscle. The surgeon injects silicone or saline into the implant and adjusts over time to achieve a healthy, proportionate size. During your research for breast augmentation, start with this foundational knowledge.
Your board-certified plastic surgeon will examine the entire area of your breasts, taking note of the size, shape, and placement of nipples and areolas. He or she will take photographs for further examination, and discuss options, recommendations, outcomes, and risks.

Before the surgery, you will discuss the procedure in more detail. This includes incision options such as under the crease of the breast (Inframammary), in the armpit (Transaxillary), or around the nipple (Periareolar). The decision depends on a few factors, including the patient’s anatomy, how much enlargement is involved, and patient-surgeon preference.
Next, inserting the implant will take place. An incision will be made, and one of two types of placements will be made.
Subpectoral breast augmentation surgery requires a tissue expander to reach the desired breast size. This method is typically more painful because of the long-term mild stretching of the muscles, however, results tend to look more natural compared to prepectoral breast augmentation surgery.
To close the incision, your surgeon will use stitches, skin adhesives, and surgical tape is used to close the skin and keep it closed.
Once the anesthesia wears off, you will be given pain relievers. You will need someone to bring you home after the surgery.
Your surgeon’s medical team will be there when you wake up to explain what your next steps are and the best way to take care of yourself from this point until full recovery. They will share with you:
How to care for your breast post-op
How to use the prescribed medications
When to attend your follow-up visit
When to call the doctor
If you are experiencing any signs of infection such as fever, warmth, or redness in or around the incision area, or chest pains, shortness of breath, or rapid heartbeat – seek medical attention immediately.
