Confidence In Every Curve

What is breast augmentation?

At our practice in Phoenix breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of your breasts. At Southwest Breast & Aesthetics, our surgeons use state-of-the-art techniques to achieve your desired look. We also offer fat transfer breast augmentation for those seeking a more natural approach.

Our tailored process begins with a comprehensive consultation, where we listen attentively to your goals and concerns. We then develop a personalized treatment plan that considers your body type, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences, ensuring results that look and feel natural. Read on to learn about your options for planning a procedure completely customized to your needs.

Breast Implant Materials

  • Saline Implants: Saline breast implants are filled with a sterile saltwater solution after placement in the breast pocket, allowing for a smaller incision. This type of breast implant tends to provide a firmer feel and have a uniform shape.
  • Silicone Gel Implants: Silicone breast implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. Saline implants are known for their softness and more natural appearance.
  • Gummy Bear (Highly Cohesive Silicone Gel) Implants: Gummy bear breast implants are made with a thicker silicone gel that maintains its shape even if the shell breaks. They provide a more stable and natural look, often with less risk of rippling.

Breast Implant Profiles

  • Low Profile: Low profile breast implants have a broader base with less projection from the chest wall. They are a good breast augmentation option for patients with a wider chest or those desiring a more subtle enhancement.
  • Moderate Profile: Moderate profile breast implants offer a balance between width and projection, providing a natural look with adequate fullness.
  • High Profile: High profile breast implants feature a narrower base with greater projection, resulting in a more prominent appearance. A high breast implant profile is ideal for those seeking a more dramatic enhancement or those with a narrower chest.

Versatile Techniques

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

We also specialize in fat transfer breast augmentation, an approach that uses your own fat to provide a more subtle enhancement in your breast shape and contours. This technique offers the dual benefit of sculpting the area where the fat is harvested. Visit our breast fat grafting page to learn more about this innovative approach to breast augmentation.

A Smooth Recovery for Optimal Results

Breast Augmentation Recovery

Recovery from breast augmentation surgery typically involves 6-8 weeks before you can return to normal activities. Our team provides comprehensive post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth healing process. You may experience some swelling and discomfort initially, but these symptoms generally subside within a few weeks.

We recommend avoiding strenuous activities and heavy lifting for 6-8 weeks post-surgery. Our surgeons will closely monitor your progress through follow-up appointments, ensuring you achieve the best possible results.

Beautiful Results that Stand the Test of Time

Breast Augmentation Results

Most Phoenix breast augmentation patients see immediate changes after their breast augmentation surgery, with final results becoming apparent as swelling subsides over the following months. The results of breast augmentation can be long-lasting, especially with proper care and maintenance.

While breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, many women enjoy their enhanced appearance for 10-15 years or more before considering implant replacement or removal.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our surgeons will guide you through the selection process, considering your body frame, desired outcome, and lifestyle to help you choose the perfect implant size.

In some cases, breast augmentation can provide an elevated appearance by adding volume to the upper pole of the breast. However, patients with significant sagging in their breast tissue may benefit from combining breast augmentation with a breast lift (mastopexy). Your surgeon will discuss your options to create a treatment plan personalized to your needs.

While the breast implant procedure will inevitably involve some scarring, our experienced surgeons strategically place the incisions in inconspicuous areas, such as the breast fold, around the areola, or in the armpit. Scars usually fade over time and can become less noticeable with proper aftercare. Your plastic surgeon can provide guidance on scar management techniques, such as using silicone sheets or creams, to promote optimal healing.

Most women can still breastfeed after breast augmentation surgery. We use techniques that minimize interference with breast tissue and milk ducts. However, it’s important to understand that breast implants can affect breastfeeding. Discuss any future plans to breastfeed with your plastic surgeon so they can plan your breast augmentation surgery in a way that minimizes the risk of breastfeeding complications.

Silicone implants often provide a more natural feel, while saline implants can be inserted through smaller incisions. We'll discuss the pros and cons of each during your consultation.
