How It Works
Choose the Breast Implant
That’s Right for You
During your consultation, your surgeon will help you navigate the available medically approved options to find a suitable fit for your body.
Saline
Implants
Filled with sterile saltwater during surgery, these implants allow for slightly smaller incisions and are approved for patients 18 and older. They offer a firmer feel while also allowing the body to safely absorb the saline if a leak ever occurs.
Silicone Gel
Implants
Approved for patients 22 and older, these implants are pre-filled with a soft gel that closely mimics the natural weight and movement of real breast tissue.
Highly Cohesive Silicone
Also called “gummy bear implants,” these are made with a thicker gel that holds its shape over time, providing excellent structure with a lower risk of visible wrinkling under the skin.
Recovery Timeline
First 24–72 Hrs
Soreness, chest tightness, and swelling are expected. Rest and short walks are encouraged.
First Week
Many patients return to light daily activities as discomfort begins to improve.
Weeks 4–6
Healing continues, and most patients gradually resume moderate exercise with surgeon approval.
Months 3–6
Swelling continues to resolve, scars mature, and your implants settle into a more natural position.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know which implant is right for me?
Your surgeon will evaluate your anatomy, lifestyle, and goals. You will be guided through the available implant types and placement options to customize an approach tailored specifically to your body.
How long do breast implants typically last?
While modern breast implants are durable, they are not lifetime devices and generally last 10 to 15 years. Over time, natural aging, weight fluctuations, or expected wear may require a future revision surgery to maintain your results.
Where will the incisions be placed?
To minimize visible scarring, incisions are strategically placed in naturally inconspicuous areas, such as the crease under your breast or along the edge of the areola. The exact placement is tailored to your chosen implant type and physical frame.
Will implants affect mammograms or breastfeeding?
You can safely undergo routine mammograms, though your technician will use specialized imaging views to screen the surrounding tissue properly. Many women successfully breastfeed after augmentation, but certain incision types may impact milk production.
Will I lose sensation in my nipples after surgery?
Temporary changes in nipple sensitivity, such as numbness or hypersensitivity, are very common immediately following the procedure. For most patients, normal sensation naturally returns within a few months as the tissues fully heal.
Can I combine breast implants with a breast lift?
Yes, combining breast augmentation with a lift is a popular choice for patients who want to add volume while also correcting drooping or sagging skin. Your surgeon will evaluate your tissue elasticity to determine if a combined approach is the best way to achieve your ideal contour.
Will my implants be placed over or under the muscle?
Implants are typically placed either directly behind the breast tissue or partially beneath the chest muscle. Your surgeon will recommend the optimal placement based on your physical frame and the amount of your existing breast tissue.
What happens if an implant ruptures?
A ruptured saline implant typically deflates as the body safely absorbs the saline, while a silicone implant rupture may require imaging for detection. In either case, your surgeon will discuss whether replacement or removal is recommended.
