What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances the size, shape, and overall appearance of the breasts using implants or fat transfer. Depending on your goals, the surgery can:

• Add volume for fuller, shapelier breasts
• Improve breast symmetry
• Restore volume lost after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes
• Help clothing and swimwear fit more comfortably

What Are My Breast Implant Options?

Breast augmentation is highly customizable, and Dr. Patel will help you choose the right type of implant to achieve your goals. Options include:

• Saline implants: Filled with sterile saline solution, offering a natural look and feel with the option of smaller incisions.
• Silicone implants: Known for their soft, natural feel and wide range of shapes and sizes.
• Gummy bear implants: Cohesive silicone implants that maintain their shape even if the outer shell is compromised.

Patients who undergo breast augmentation at WOW Cosmetic Surgery often enjoy:

• Better fit in swimwear and clothing
• Long-lasting, natural-looking enhancement

Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation in Southlake?

Good candidates for breast augmentation are nonsmokers in overall good health who wish to enhance the size or shape of their breasts. You may be an excellent candidate if you:

• Have naturally small breasts or asymmetry
• Want to restore breast volume lost after having children
• Desire a boost in confidence for special occasions in Southlake, from shopping and dining to community events

The best way to determine your candidacy is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Prem Patel, who will evaluate your needs and create a tailored surgical plan.

How Is Breast Augmentation Performed?

Breast augmentation is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. After anesthesia, Dr. Patel makes a small incision, usually in the inframammary fold (under the breast), around the areola, or in the armpit. Implants are then carefully placed above or below the chest muscle (or both, referred to as dual-plane), depending on your anatomy and desired results.

Surgery usually takes about one to two hours, and you can return home the same day.

What Is Recovery Like After Breast Augmentation?

Most patients take about one week off from work and light activities after breast augmentation. You will need to wear a supportive surgical bra and avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activity for 4 to 6 weeks. Swelling and mild soreness are normal and will gradually subside as you heal.

What Results Can I Expect From Breast Augmentation?

Once swelling resolves, you will enjoy fuller, shapelier breasts that look and feel natural. Whether you’re heading out to dinner at Truluck’s Southlake or spending the day shopping, your enhanced confidence will shine through. Results are long-lasting, though keep in mind that natural aging and gravity will still affect your breasts over time.
