Breast augmentation with implants is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries for women looking to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of their breasts. Whether you’re seeking a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic transformation, breast implants can help you achieve your desired look and boost your self-confidence. Here’s everything you need to know about the procedure, the types of implants available, and what to expect before and after surgery.
Breast augmentation with implants involves the placement of either silicone or saline implants under the breast tissue or chest muscles to increase breast size and improve shape. The surgery is highly customizable, allowing women to choose the size, type, and placement of implants based on their body type and aesthetic goals. The procedure can correct breast asymmetry, restore volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss, and provide a fuller, more balanced appearance.
There are two primary types of breast implants:
Silicone Implants: These are filled with a cohesive silicone gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. Silicone implants are popular for their natural look and feel, making them a common choice among patients.
Saline Implants: These implants are filled with sterile salt water and are inserted empty, then filled once they are placed in the breast. They are less expensive than silicone implants and can be adjusted for size after surgery. Saline implants tend to have a firmer feel compared to silicone.
Both types of implants come in various shapes (round or teardrop) and textures (smooth or textured), which allow for further customization based on your goals.
Breast augmentation is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1 to 2 hours. Your surgeon will make an incision in one of several locations, such as under the breast (inframammary), around the nipple (periareolar), or in the armpit (transaxillary), depending on your anatomy and desired results. The implants are then placed either under the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle (submuscular), depending on your surgeon's recommendation.
Once the implants are in place, the incisions are closed with sutures, and a surgical bra may be provided to support your new breasts during recovery.
Recovery from breast augmentation surgery typically takes about 1 to 2 weeks. During this time, you will likely experience some swelling, soreness, and bruising. Most women can return to work and light activities within a week, but it’s important to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for about 4 to 6 weeks. Your surgeon will provide detailed aftercare instructions to help ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
Enhanced Self-Confidence: Many women report a significant boost in self-esteem and body confidence after breast augmentation. Fuller breasts can create a more balanced, feminine silhouette.
Customized Results: Breast augmentation is highly customizable, allowing you to choose the size, shape, and placement of your implants to achieve the specific look you desire.
Correcting Asymmetry: If your breasts are naturally asymmetrical, implants can help create a more symmetrical appearance.
Restored Volume: Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and significant weight loss can cause breasts to lose volume and firmness. Implants can restore fullness and improve the overall contour of the breasts.
As with any surgery, breast augmentation with implants carries some risks. Potential complications include infection, scarring, implant rupture, and capsular contracture (hardening of the tissue around the implant). However, these risks are relatively low, especially when performed by a skilled, board-certified plastic surgeon. Regular monitoring of the implants and following post-surgery care instructions can help reduce the risk of complications.
Breast implants are designed to provide long-lasting results, but they may not last a lifetime. Many women enjoy their augmented breasts for 10 to 20 years or longer, but some may eventually require revision surgery due to aging, implant wear, or personal preference. Routine checkups with your surgeon are important to ensure the longevity of your implants.
Breast augmentation with implants offers a safe and effective way to enhance your body’s contours and achieve the breast size and shape you’ve always wanted. By working with a board-certified plastic surgeon, you can customize your procedure to suit your body and goals, ensuring natural-looking, beautiful results. Whether you want to restore lost volume, correct asymmetry, or simply enhance your natural curves, breast augmentation can help you feel more confident and comfortable in your own skin.

I have been going to see Dr. Praveen Chandra for over few months back and can’t say enough about his care. From entering his office and working with his kind assistant, to the cleanliness and order of his treatment room, all the way to the check out process – his office and professionalism is second to none. As for the care he provides I truly appreciated his approach of treating me as a whole, not a collection of potential disparate problems.
The appointment service was straightforward to use and well-managed, and I had no issues.
I must admit that I was apprehensive to visit a plastic surgery. He informed me of my problem and promised to find a solution.
The appointment scheduling system is amazing. I am delighted with the medical care.
His warm bedside manner and empathetic nature are an added bonus. He is very clear about your treatment options and the best solution for your problem. His advice is always focused on what is best for his patient, which I truly appreciate. I have been visiting him since May 2022 and I am amazed at the difference in my facial features and how beautifully he has treated my condition. He is also very gentle and careful when administering any treatment which, for a nervous patient like me, is so needed.
