Breast Augmentation at Amelia Aesthetics

Increase volume with breast augmentation

Breast augmentation places saline or silicone breast implants to add volume and shape to the breasts.

Breast augmentation at a glance

Volume loss is normal after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, and aging. Implants add and restore volume to your preferred breast size.

Overview

Customize your implants to achieve your desired size and look.

Recovery

Recovery is typically very mild and many women feel fairly normal the same day. Most surgeons advocate for some exercise restrictions that last 3-6 weeks.

Results

Implants take about 12 months to “drop and fluff” for the final result.

Get the implant that’s right for you

Many of our practices have an on-site implant inventory with a wide range of sizes in a variety of brands so the implant best suited for your goals is ready and available. Below are some of the customization options you’ll consider during your consultation.

Implant Profile

Profile refers to the “projection” of the implant. Your surgeon can help you determine what profile is right for you based on your anatomy and goals.

Implant Placement

Implant placement is where your surgeon will put the implant. We specialize in subglandular placement (over the muscle), subfascial placement (under the fascia that covers the muscle), and submuscular placement (under the muscle).

what to expect

Breast Augmentation Scars

We specialize in three breast augmentation incisions: the crease, armpit, and periareolar incisions. The crease, also known as the inframammary incision, is the most common. However, each incision offers unique benefits and tradeoffs. Your surgeon will help you decide the best incision for you and your goals.

What is the recovery time for breast augmentation?

Keep in mind that everyone’s surgery and recovery are unique. Your surgeon will give you individualized instructions and timelines during your consultation.

3-5 Days

Bruising and swelling are normal. Expect a mix of rest and gentle movements.

1 Week

Most patients return to work and are mostly back to their routines.

6 Weeks

Exercise, lifting, and swimming/water submerging restrictions are lifted for most.

1-12 Months

Expect implants to be “high and tight” as they heal and then to “drop and fluff" over time. You’ll see progressive improvements
along the way.

12 Months

Implants settle into their final position and residual swelling resolves to see your final results.
