Before & After

Types of Breast Implants

Saline Implants

Saline implants are filled with a sterile saltwater solution and are inserted empty before being filled to the desired size during surgery. They offer a uniform shape and feel, and the body safely absorbs the saline in the event of a rupture. These implants are often preferred by individuals seeking a slightly firmer feel and the peace of mind that comes with easy rupture detection.
Silicone implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel that closely mimics the natural feel of breast tissue. Many patients choose silicone gel implants for their smooth texture and more realistic appearance. While they typically feel softer and more natural than saline, routine monitoring is recommended to detect potential issues that may not be immediately visible.
Gummy bear implants, also known as form-stable implants, are made from a thicker silicone gel that holds its shape even if the implant shell breaks. This design reduces the risk of visible changes in breast shape in the event of an implant rupture. Gummy bear implants are also known for their teardrop shape, offering a more anatomical look for some patients.

What to Expect From
Breast Augmentation

Initial Considerations
The choice to undergo breast enlargement surgery is personal. If you have considered this treatment, we highly recommend doing it for yourself. Before undergoing this surgery, you should be in good health, have fully developed breasts, and be of the appropriate age. If you feel unhappy with your breasts’ appearance because of the shape or size, changes from pregnancy, or significant weight loss, you can benefit from breast augmentation.
During your initial consultation, you will meet with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons, and they will help you select the best implant based on your preferences, body type, and lifestyle. Implants come in various shapes, sizes, profiles, and textures — all of which we take into consideration when designing your treatment plan. To receive saline implants, you must be at least 18 years old; for silicone implants, the minimum age is 22 years. We also help you review your:
  • Implant size
  • Implant shape
  • Implant profile
  • Incision type

Breast Augmentation Surgical Procedure

Anesthesia
Cosmetic breast surgery is performed as an outpatient surgery in a hospital using general anesthesia. This ensures you are completely asleep and comfortable throughout the procedure. The anesthesia is performed by a board-certified anesthesiologist, and an anesthesia team monitors you closely from start to finish to ensure your safety and a smooth recovery process.
Once anesthesia takes effect, our surgeon creates incisions in strategic locations, which may include around the areola or under the breast fold. The choice of incision is based on your anatomy, implant size, and the type of implant selected. Different implant styles may require specific incision techniques to ensure proper placement and optimal cosmetic outcomes, with minimal visible scarring.
After completing the incision, we insert the implant through the opening and place it into a surgically created pocket. This pocket is either behind the chest muscles (submuscular placement) or directly behind the breast tissue and above the pectoral muscle (subglandular placement). The choice of placement depends on your body structure, desired look, and the type of implant used. We aim to achieve a natural contour and balanced proportions tailored to your aesthetic goals.
After this process, we close the incision with sutures or surgical adhesives. All patients receive detailed aftercare instructions to help with healing. Additionally, you will need to wear a compression garment and attend all of your follow-up appointments.

What to Expect After Breast Augmentation Surgery

You will be sent home wearing a recovery compression bra to assist with swelling. Recovery varies from patient to patient, but usually within a few days, the swelling and bruising will begin to decrease, and the breasts will start to look and feel normal as they fall into their new position. The majority of patients can return to everyday activities within several days; however, exercise should be delayed for about a couple of months. Breast implant surgery results in beautiful outcomes that feel and appear normal. This procedure can be a life changer for many individuals, allowing them the chance to feel more self-assured.

Who Is a Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

The decision to have breast enlargement surgery is personal. If you are contemplating this treatment, it is important you do it for yourself and nobody else. You should be healthy, at a stable weight, have fully developed breasts, and be the right age to receive implants. If you are unhappy with the aesthetics of your breasts because they seem deflated, you could benefit from breast augmentation surgery. In addition, if your breasts have been affected by aging, nursing, or weight loss, this treatment can give them life with increased volume. This surgery is also a welcome option if you lift weights or have limited native breast tissue.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Augmentation

Do I need a breast lift or augmentation?

Your plan may include breast augmentation, a lift, or both. Breast lift surgery removes loose skin and raises the position of the breasts, while implants address the shape and size of the breasts. Our board-certified plastic surgeon will discuss your concerns and goals during your consultation before explaining your treatment options.
Many women with breast implants have nursed their babies successfully. Nevertheless, any breast surgery can theoretically interfere with your ability to breastfeed.
You may decide at some point that you want to replace or remove your implants. If this happens, our team of surgeons offers breast revision surgery. During a revision surgery, your old implants will be either replaced with different implants or simply removed. If you choose to have your implants removed, you might need to have a breast lift since larger implants can stretch your skin. If you have any questions or concerns after your augmentation surgery, schedule an appointment at Forma Plastic Surgery to learn more about your options.
There is no evidence linking implants to breast cancer. The only clinical studies available show that the prevalence of breast cancer in women with implants is the same or even slightly lower than that in women without breast implants! Furthermore, two studies have shown, to date, that the stage of breast cancer detection in women with implants appears to be identical to that found in the overall population.
The FDA (Food and Drug Administration) is still investigating a possible link between breast implants and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). This isn’t breast cancer, but a cancer of the immune cells. According to WHO (the World Health Organization), breast implant-related ALCL is very rare, and if caught early, it’s easy to treat. Additionally, the incidence of ALCL is found in textured implants. At Forma Plastic Surgery, we only use smooth, round breast implants, significantly decreasing the risk of developing ALCL. Our surgeons encourage all patients with breast implants to get frequent screenings for breast cancer. You should contact Forma Plastic Surgery if you notice any concerns with your implants.
Choosing the right implant size involves considering your body proportions, aesthetic goals, and our surgeon’s recommendations. Trying on sizers during your consultation can help you visualize different sizes and make an informed decision with realistic expectations.
Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon is essential for breast augmentation patients to ensure the highest level of skill and safety. An experienced breast surgeon is trained in the latest breast augmentation techniques and has performed thousands of successful surgeries. Their knowledge and skills allow them to create natural curves that complement your body while providing personalized care tailored to your unique anatomy and goals. This dedication helps achieve beautiful, lasting results with minimized risks.
After undergoing breast augmentation, many patients enjoy long-lasting results. Successful breast augmentations can provide years of enhanced shape and volume, giving you the confidence and silhouette you desire. While implants are durable, natural changes in your body over time may affect their appearance. With proper care and routine follow-ups, your transformation can be maintained beautifully for years to come. Often, at the 10-year mark, it is recommended to change the implants.
Yes, breast enhancement can be combined with other cosmetic body procedures for a comprehensive transformation. Many patients choose to include a mommy makeover, which often features a tummy tuck alongside breast augmentation. Additionally, non-surgical treatments can complement your surgical outcomes. Combining these options allows our surgeons to create stunning results tailored to your individual goals and body shape.
