Breast enhancement surgery is a procedure that reshapes the breasts to result in a fuller appearance. It is often considered to be one of the most sought-after cosmetic surgeries, offering women who dislike their breast size effective opportunities for improvement. With the help of implants, this enhancement surgery improves breast size and shape and produces a beautiful and natural-looking outcome. Our Scottsdale, AZ board-certified plastic surgeons are highly trained in executing this treatment and perform numerous breast augmentations year-round. When you have your consultation at Forma Plastic Surgery, our experienced team will listen to your concerns and desires and inform you of all of the options available while also customizing a treatment plan to attain your personal goals.
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 and at a normal weight with breasts that are fully developed, and be the right age to receive implants. If you are unhappy with the aesthetics of your chest 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. It is also a welcomed option if you lift weights or have limited native breast tissue
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 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 could benefit from breast augmentation.
During your initial consultation, we 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.

You will be sent home wearing a recovery compression bra to assist with swelling. 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.
Many women with breast implants have nursed their babies successfully. Nevertheless, any breast surgery can theoretically interfere with your ability to breast feed.”
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. In 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 and 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.
Your cost for breast augmentation surgery will vary depending on your implant choices and whether you are getting any other surgeries. As soon as your treatment plan is made in your consultation, Dr. Yao can talk to you about estimated costs and financing. To make sure you are happy with your results and they last a long time, it’s better to focus on quality over costs.
