In Our Patients’ Words: Breast Augmentation Patient Reviews

“Dr. Ford was honest and straightforward about what would work best for me. What I appreciated most is that she took the time to explain everything — why certain options would or wouldn’t work — which a lot of offices don’t do. I never felt rushed or brushed off. I’m really glad I trusted her guidance, because I’m happy with my results.”

Awake Breast Augmentation at Renuance

At Renuance, some patients may have the option to undergo breast augmentation while awake using local anesthesia. This approach offers an alternative to general anesthesia and is a specialized area of experience for Dr. Chung, who has extensive experience performing awake procedures.

Dr. Chung’s experience with tumescent anesthesia has shaped his approach to awake surgery. When patients can move into different positions during the procedure, he can evaluate and shape the breast contours dynamically from multiple angles as he works.

For patients who prefer to avoid general anesthesia, this procedure can offer another way to approach breast augmentation while maintaining a personalized surgical plan.

Awake breast augmentation may not be appropriate for every patient or every surgical plan. During your consultation, Dr. Chung can determine whether local anesthesia is a suitable option for you and discuss what you can expect from the experience.

If you’re curious to learn whether an awake breast augmentation could be right for you, schedule a consultation at Renuance today.

What Is Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the shape, size, and symmetry of the breasts. At Renuance, breast augmentation can be performed using breast implants, fat transfer, or a combination of the two. Breast implants are the most popular choice, and our surgeons love guiding patients through their implant options.

Patients choose breast augmentation for a variety of reasons. You may wish to enhance naturally smaller breasts, restore volume after pregnancy or weight loss, improve the symmetry, shape, or projection of your breasts, or simply create fuller proportions that better complement your overall figure.

Benefits of Breast Augmentation

Depending on your specific goals and treatment plan, potential breast augmentation benefits include:

  • Increased breast size and volume
  • An opportunity to enhance breast shape
  • Improved symmetry and proportions
  • Enhanced upper-breast fullness
  • Greater projection
  • Greater wardrobe options
  • Boosted confidence and self-image
  • Long-lasting enhancement

For some patients, breast augmentation alone provides the results they were looking for. Others may benefit from combining implants with a breast lift or another procedure. At your consultation, you and your surgeon will discuss what you’d like to change and determine the best approach to accomplish your goals from there.

Who Is an Ideal Candidate for Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Breast augmentation may be appropriate for women who are unhappy with the size, shape, or proportions of their breasts and want to enhance their breast volume with implants. Ideal candidates have realistic expectations, are in good overall health, are not nursing, are not pregnant, and are not experiencing breast growth.

You may be a candidate for breast augmentation if you:

  • Feel your breasts are too small, disproportionate to the rest of your body, or simply lack the volume you’d like
  • Have experienced loss of breast volume following pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or aging
  • Want to improve breast asymmetry or differences in breast size
  • Want more upper-breast fullness, projection, or cleavage
  • Have reasonable expectations for what breast augmentation can and cannot achieve
  • Are prepared to follow your surgeon’s preoperative and postoperative instructions

Your consultation is your opportunity to discuss the look you want and learn what is realistically achievable based on your anatomy. Your surgeon can help you understand your implant options and develop a surgical plan tailored to your unique proportions and aesthetic preferences.

What Breast Implant Should I Choose?

There are several dimensions across which you can customize your breast implants. This includes the fill material, implant size, implant profile, manufacturer, and more.

You can bring photos of the results you’d like, and also describe the overall look you are hoping to achieve. A description of what you want and photos can help guide your breast implant selection.

Saline vs. Silicone

When it comes to implant material, you can choose saline or silicone gel. Both types have a silicone outer shell, but they differ in filling material, which affects consistency, feel, and how they behave within the breast.

  • Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater solution. They are inserted while empty and then filled to the desired volume during surgery. If a saline implant ruptures, the body safely absorbs the saline solution, and the implant typically deflates, making the rupture immediately noticeable.
  • Silicone implants (gummy bear implants) are filled with silicone gel that more closely resembles breast tissue. Modern silicone implants come in a range of shapes, sizes, and profiles, giving your surgeon flexibility to develop a surgical plan that reflects your aesthetic goals.

The right choice depends on your anatomy, goals, and the characteristics you want from your breast augmentation. Your surgeon will discuss the advantages and considerations of each option during your consultation.

Breast Implant Size

Implant size is one of the most common concerns patients have before breast augmentation, but choosing an implant based solely on a desired cup size can be misleading. Cup sizes vary between bra manufacturers, and the same implant volume can look very different on two different bodies.

Instead, your surgeon will consider factors such as your breast width, existing breast tissue, skin elasticity, chest dimensions, and the amount of coverage available over the implant. Your desired fullness and projection also play an important role in selecting the best implant volume for you.

Breast Implant Profile

An implant’s profile refers to how far it projects outward from the chest in relation to its base width. Implant profiles allow a surgeon to adjust the balance between breast width and forward projection. This is one of the dimensions that affects shape and appearance, providing a metric by which to customize beyond mere volume.

A higher-profile implant, for example, generally has a narrower base and greater projection than a lower-profile implant of a similar volume. The best profile for you depends on your chest width, breast dimensions, existing tissue, and the shape you want to achieve.

Motiva® Breast Implants

At Renuance, we offer Motiva® breast implants, which combine improved texturing with the latest generation of gels to improve upon the fullness and softness of traditional implants. Motiva’s SmoothSilk® surface technology is associated with low reported rates of capsular contracture in published clinical studies.

What Are My Breast Augmentation Options?

In addition to choosing the right implant, your breast augmentation is also customized within the surgery itself. This includes where the implant will be placed, where the incision will be made, and whether additional procedures are needed to address breast shape or sagging.

Breast Implant Placement

Breast implants can be placed in different tissue planes, and the ideal placement depends on your amount of natural breast tissue, body proportions, anatomy, and aesthetic goals. Your surgeon will recommend the approach that best balances your desired result with appropriate implant coverage and support.

  • Subglandular placement: The implant is positioned above the pectoralis muscle and directly beneath the breast tissue. This approach can be a good option for patients with sufficient natural breast tissue to provide adequate implant coverage. It does not involve cutting or elevating the pectoralis muscle, which avoids animation deformity.
  • Submuscular placement: The implant is placed beneath the pectoralis muscle, either completely or partially using a dual-plane technique. This provides additional soft-tissue coverage over the upper portion of the implant and can be beneficial for patients with thinner breast tissue or less natural coverage. Because the implant is beneath the muscle, some patients may experience animation deformity, in which the breast changes shape with contraction of the chest muscle.
  • Subfascial placement: The implant is positioned beneath the fascia, or connective tissue layer, covering the pectoralis muscle while remaining above the muscle fibers themselves. This approach preserves the pectoralis muscle and avoids animation deformity while providing an additional layer of soft-tissue coverage. Adequate natural breast tissue is important to achieve a smooth and natural-looking result.

Breast Implant Incision Options

Breast implants can be inserted through several incision locations, the most common being:

  • Inframammary: This is the most common breast incision location, placed along the natural crease beneath the breast.
  • Periareolar: This incision is placed along the border of the areola and results in well-concealed scars.

Breast Augmentation With a Breast Lift

Breast augmentation adds volume, but an implant alone cannot correct significant breast sagging. If pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, aging, or other factors have caused the breasts to droop or the nipples to sit lower on the breast, a breast lift may be recommended along with augmentation.

A breast augmentation with lift, also called an augmentation mastopexy, combines a breast implant with surgical lifting and reshaping of the breast mound for a comprehensive breast rejuvenation. The implant restores or increases volume, while the lift removes excess skin and repositions the breast tissue and nipple to create a more youthful, elevated breast shape.

Preparing for Breast Augmentation: Your Renuance Experience

At Renuance, your breast augmentation experience begins well before surgery. We start with an initial phone screening, followed by an in-depth, private consultation and surgical planning. Every step along the way, our team takes the time to understand your goals and develop a treatment plan tailored to you.

Your Phone Screening

Before visiting Renuance Cosmetic Surgery & MedSpa, you’ll have a thorough phone screening with our patient coordinator. This initial call ensures that our center is the right fit for you and vice versa. Our coordinator will ask detailed questions about your aesthetic concerns, goals, budget, timeline, and whether you have a preferred surgeon in mind to determine if we should proceed with the next steps.

Your 1:1 Consultation

Your next step is a private, one-on-one consultation with one of our board-certified plastic surgeons. Consultations are approximately 60 minutes and may be completed in person or virtually for patients traveling from out of town.

Every surgeon on the Renuance team has extensive training and experience, with some having practiced plastic surgery for 40 years. During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your breast anatomy and discuss the size, shape, and overall proportions you would like to achieve.

This is also the time to explore your implant options. You are welcome to bring inspirational photos of your desired results, which can help you and your surgeon establish a shared understanding of your aesthetic vision.

Based on this evaluation, your surgeon can recommend the implant type, size, profile, placement, and incision that’s best suited to your anatomy and goals. If you have breast sagging or other concerns that breast augmentation alone cannot address, you may wish to combine your breast augmentation with a breast lift. Your surgeon will guide you through the entire process until you feel confident with your surgical plan.

How Is Breast Augmentation Performed?

All surgeries are performed at Renuance Cosmetic Surgery & MedSpa’s fully accredited surgical center. Breast augmentation is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia.

Your surgeon will make an incision in the location discussed during your surgical planning. They will then create a pocket for the breast implant—either above or below the pectoral muscle. Once the implant is positioned, your surgeon evaluates the breast shape and symmetry before closing the incision carefully to minimize scarring. Surgery usually takes one to two hours.

After surgery, you will be moved to a private, on-site recovery room staffed by certified nurses who will monitor you as you wake from anesthesia. Before you leave, our nurses will review all discharge instructions and follow-up appointments with you and your caregiver and assist you to your car.

Breast Augmentation Recovery

Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure, so patients return home the same day. After your procedure, you can expect to experience some swelling, bruising, soreness, and temporary changes in sensation.

As you recover:

  • The first few days: You can expect some soreness, swelling, and tightness around the breasts. Rest and follow your surgeon’s instructions for managing discomfort.
  • The first few weeks: Many patients feel comfortable gradually returning to work and their daily activities. However, strenuous activities that place excessive strain on the chest will be limited until your surgeon clears you.
  • The following weeks and months: Swelling continues to resolve, the breasts soften, and the implants gradually settle into their final position.

Our team will provide detailed postoperative instructions—follow these carefully to ensure a smooth recovery. Be sure to attend all follow-up appointments as well, so your surgeon can monitor your healing progress.

What Results Can I Expect From Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation increases breast volume, enhances projection and shape, restores lost fullness, and creates proportions that better complement your overall figure. The appearance of your breasts immediately after surgery, however, is not your final result.

Swelling and temporary tightness can make the breasts sit higher on the chest and feel quite firm during the early stages of recovery. Over time, swelling continues to dissipate, and the implants will gradually settle into their final position.

Your breasts will continue to change over time—aging, future pregnancies, weight fluctuations, and changes in your breast tissue can all affect how your results look over time. However, the results from breast augmentation tend to be long-lasting when paired with a healthy lifestyle.

How Long Do Breast Implants Last?

Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, but there is no set expiration date that applies to every patient. If you are happy with your implants and they remain intact without complications, there may be no need to replace them simply because of their age. However, the likelihood of implant-related complications (such as implant rupture) increases over time, so most patients ultimately require implant replacement or removal.

Regular follow-up with your plastic surgeon can help monitor your breast health and the condition of your implants over time. The FDA recommends appropriate imaging to screen for silent rupture of silicone breast implants. Dr. Rachel Ford is trained to perform implant imaging using ultrasound in accordance with FDA recommendations.

Some patients may eventually need additional surgery because of implant-related complications or simply a desire to change or remove their implants. During your consultation, your surgeon can discuss the expected longevity of your specific implants and what ongoing follow-up may look like.

Breast Augmentation FAQs

Will I have scars after breast implant surgery?

Your Renuance Cosmetic Surgery plastic surgeon actively minimizes the visibility of scars by strategically placing incisions in less noticeable locations, such as the breast crease or around the areola. While placing implants through these incisions results in scars, they will fade over time, becoming less noticeable.

Should I get breast implants if I plan on having kids?

It’s possible to get breast implants if you plan on having kids, but there are factors to consider. Pregnancy and breastfeeding can change the size and shape of your breasts, potentially affecting the appearance of your implants. Breast surgery may affect your ability to breastfeed; however, many women are able to breastfeed after breast augmentation alone. Breast lift surgery may have a greater impact on milk supply, depending on the surgical technique and whether the milk ducts and nerves are affected. It’s important to discuss your future family plans with your surgeon during your consultation to understand how pregnancy might impact your results and decide on the best timing for your surgery.

Is breast augmentation painful?

Breast augmentation is performed using anesthesia, ensuring no pain during the procedure. After breast surgery, as the anesthesia wears off, patients typically experience soreness and heaviness around the surgery area. This postoperative pain is most intense during the initial days but gradually lessens. Pain management, including prescribed medications, can help control any discomfort during recovery.

When will I see results?

You’ll immediately notice changes after breast augmentation, but swelling must decrease, and implants must settle for final results, typically over weeks to months. Significant improvements appear in the initial weeks, with subtle changes as healing progresses. Your surgeon will outline the recovery expectations.

Will breast implants affect mammograms or breast imaging?

Yes, breast implants can affect how breast tissue is visualized during mammograms, but specialized imaging techniques are used to examine the breast tissue when there are implants present.
