What Is Breast Augmentation With Implants?

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that uses breast implants to increase the size, shape, or fullness of a woman’s breasts. The surgery involves making incisions and placing silicone or saline implants to make the appearance more aesthetically pleasing. The implants may be inserted under the breast tissue or chest muscle. On average, breast augmentation surgery takes one to two hours to complete.

Types of Breast Implants

Breast implants come in various shapes and sizes. They can be customized to the patient’s desires and anatomy. However, the most important characteristic is the type of material, which may include silicone, saline, or “gummy bear.” Here is an overview of each of them:

Silicone Breast Implants

The primary filler material that is used in these implants is silicone gel. It makes the breasts look and feel natural. The silicone in modern implants is medical-grade and less likely to leak out of the shell. This thick gel allows them to retain their shape much better than saline implants. Therefore, many patients prefer silicone over other materials. However, one potential disadvantage of silicone implants is a higher cost due to the more complex manufacturing process. Overall, technological advances have made silicone implants a popular choice for many women considering breast augmentation or reconstruction.

Saline Breast Implants

Saline breast implants are filled with a sterile saltwater solution. The main benefit of this material over silicone gel is that the saline is easily absorbed into the body if the implant shell ruptures. Saline implants are inserted empty and then filled to the appropriate volume during surgery, allowing for more precision in fitting. They are more affordable compared to pre-filled silicone versions. One potential drawback of saline implants is that they have a higher chance of rippling or wrinkling, especially for women with less natural breast tissue. They may also not feel as natural as biological breast tissue. However, saline implants provide many advantages. They can be better in terms of cost, safety, and flexibility.

Gummy Bear Implants

This is a type of silicone implant with a more cohesive gel that retains its shape even when the shell is broken. The material inside these implants resembles gummy bear candies. They are currently the most popular among all types. The main benefit of gummy bear implants is that the silicone does not leak or disperse like liquid if the shell ruptures. Instead, it stays intact like a gummy bear would. This helps to prevent silicone from moving outside the breast capsule. Gummy bear implants are usually firmer than traditional types. However, many patients prefer them due to their stable shape and higher safety.

Breast Implant Sizes

Besides the material, it is crucial to select the appropriate breast implant size. It must be suitable for the body frame and meet the patient’s aesthetic goals. Here are the main implant sizes that are used in breast augmentation procedures:

100-150 cc

These are very small implants that modestly increase breast size. They are commonly used for subtle enhancement or reconstruction.

150-250 cc

These small and medium-sized implants provide a natural increase in cup size. They work well for petite frames desiring a modest enlargement.

250-350 cc

Medium implants that increase the cup size by up to 2 sizes. They are the most popular choice for achieving a fuller, rounder shape.

350-450 cc

Large implants that significantly increase cup size and projection. This option best suits women seeking a dramatic change in breast contours.

Above 500 cc "Extra-Large" Implants

Implants that give maximum breast augmentation with a 2+ cup size increase. They are recommended only for certain body types to prevent visible rippling.

100-150 cc

These are very small implants that modestly increase breast size. They are commonly used for subtle enhancement or reconstruction.

150-250 cc

These small and medium-sized implants provide a natural increase in cup size. They work well for petite frames desiring a modest enlargement.

250-350 cc

Medium implants that increase the cup size by up to 2 sizes. They are the most popular choice for achieving a fuller, rounder shape.

350-450 cc

Large implants that significantly increase cup size and projection. This option best suits women seeking a dramatic change in breast contours.

Above 500 cc "Extra-Large" Implants

Implants that give maximum breast augmentation with a 2+ cup size increase. They are recommended only for certain body types to prevent visible rippling.

Breast Implant Shapes

There are two main shapes – round and teardrop. The vast majority of implants used today are smooth. Textured implants are becoming less popular due to the risk of health complications. Here is a brief description of the two shapes:

Round

Round implants are the most common. They have a symmetrical, circular profile that provides fullness in the upper poles of the breasts. Round implants come in a variety of sizes to accommodate different body types. They create cleavage and have a very natural, sloping curve.

Teardrop-Shaped

Teardrop (anatomical) implants are shaped like a natural breast, with more projection at the bottom and tapering towards the top. They are textured rather than smooth, which allows them to adhere to the chest wall. Teardrop implants provide a gentle slope and look softer than round options. They can give a very natural shape and appearance.

Preparation for Breast Augmentation With Implants

Everything starts with a breast augmentation consultation. The surgeon evaluates the patient’s overall health, examines the breasts, takes measurements, discusses aesthetic goals, and makes implant recommendations. Together, they decide  on implant type (saline or silicone), shape, size, texture, and surgical incisions.  After implants are selected, the patient may try sizers to visualize potential results.

Lab testing should be done in the weeks leading up to surgery to ensure safety.  A baseline mammogram can also be scheduled to check breast health. Smokers and patients over 40 may need extra clearance tests. The surgeon provides instructions on how to prepare for the procedure:

Arrange for a friend or family member to assist with transportation after surgery
Refrain from smoking and alcohol for a minimum of 2 weeks pre-op
Take care of household chores and shop ahead of time
Fill prescriptions for pain medication and antibiotics
Stock up on soft foods, ice packs, comfortable clothing, pillows, and other recovery items

The pre-operative process, including consultation to preparation, sets the patient up for the best results and experience with breast augmentation. It is crucial to follow the surgeon’s instructions and take enough time (1-2 weeks) off work.

Breast Augmentation Procedure

Incisions

There are different ways to place implants into breasts, depending on the patient’s anatomy and preferences. The surgeon makes one of the following types of incisions:

The inframammary incision is made under the breast. This incision works well for patients who want the scar to be hidden in the natural crease.

The periareolar incision goes around the areola. If this option is selected, the scar will be on the border between the darker areola and surrounding skin, making it less visible.

The transaxillary incision is made in the armpit area, so there is no scarring on the breast. This option is appropriate for implants of smaller sizes or the saline type.

Implant Pocket Creation

The surgeon creates a pocket for the implant, either under the pectoral muscle (submuscular) for more coverage or behind the breast tissue (subglandular) on top of the muscle for quicker healing.

Implant Placement

Saline or silicone breast implants are placed in the surgically created pocket through the incision. The implant type and size are chosen in advance to match the patient’s body and goals.

Incision Closure

Finally, the incisions are closed, usually with layered sutures and surgical tape. Over the next several weeks, they slowly heal and fade.

Recovery After Breast
Augmentation Surgery

Most women take about a week off from ordinary activities. In the first couple  of days, it’s important to have someone available to help with changing bandages, cooking meals, and other tasks. There will likely be some pain and discomfort that can be managed with prescription medication. Any stitches will be absorbed by the body over time and do not need to be removed.

It typically takes 1-2 weeks to return to work or study after surgery. Exercise and strenuous activity should be avoided for at least a month to allow the incisions to heal properly. Our surgeon lets the patient know when it is safe to resume normal activities. Follow-up appointments are also scheduled to monitor recovery.

All symptoms gradually decrease over several months. The patient must wear  a post-surgery bra to provide support and help minimize swelling during the healing period. The final results will be visible around 6 months after surgery when the implants have settled into position.

Candidates for Breast
Augmentation With Implants

Breast augmentation is the second most popular cosmetic procedure in the United States. Nearly 300,000 surgeries are performed each year to help patients feel more beautiful. A wide range of women can benefit from breast augmentation, including:

Patients who have naturally small or underdeveloped breasts

Patients who have lost breast volume after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging

Women who want to improve their self-image and confidence

Patients who are 18+ years old (for saline implants) and 22+ (for silicone implants)

The best candidates have fully grown breasts, are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding, and do not have medical conditions that may impair healing. They also have realistic expectations and do not smoke.

Benefits of Breast Augmentation

Cosmetic enhancements give more confidence and self-esteem, encouraging people to pursue new opportunities. Overall, breast augmentation offers the following benefits:

Increases breast size and volume to achieve better proportions
Improves the balance and symmetry between breasts if they are asymmetrical
Restores breast fullness and youthful contours after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging
