Your Breast Implant Consultation

Athēnix plastic surgeons provide customization options such as implant type, placement, incision location, size, shape, and profile. During your complimentary consultation, we’ll discuss your treatment goals and concerns, evaluate your breasts and anatomy, and how you can customize your procedure with breast implants in Pasadena.

Why Consider Breast Augmentation?

Women choose breast augmentation for several reasons:

Small Breasts

Many small-breasted women would much rather have larger, fuller breasts. If you are one of those women, our board-certified plastic surgeons can perform a breast augmentation with saline or silicone gel-filled breast implants or Natural Fat Transfer to give you the full, natural-looking breasts you have always wanted.

Asymmetrical Breasts

Many women’s breasts differ slightly in size, but when the difference is noticeable, it can make a woman self-conscious about her body. By augmenting the smaller or reducing the larger breast, our board-certified cosmetic surgeons can make both breasts the same size to create a more balanced, beautiful bust.

Implant Replacement

Breast implants can fail over time, requiring replacement. Some women replace older implants with newer silicone gel implants for a more natural look and feel. Newer implants come in a broader range of shapes and sizes, and skilled plastic surgeons can replace older implants and rejuvenate the breasts for a lovely, natural-looking bust.

Breast Implant Types

Saline or Silicone Gel-Filled Implants

At our practice, we prioritize the safety of our patients. That's why we use Natrelle® saline and silicone gel implants, which have been extensively studied and approved by the FDA. Hundreds of peer-reviewed studies have found no health concerns associated with silicone gel implants. Additionally, Natrelle® silicone gel-filled breast implants feel like natural breast tissue, providing a soft and supple feel.

Natural Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

Natural Fat Transfer is a minimally invasive procedure that uses your own fat cells to augment and contour your breasts, resulting in a fuller and shapelier appearance. The procedure utilizes VASER® or Body-Jet water-assisted liposuction to remove excess fatty tissue from selected areas of your body. Since it does not require large incisions, general anesthesia is unnecessary, resulting in a faster recovery and less downtime. Natural Fat Transfer achieves a natural-looking appearance and involves less risk since it uses your fat cells, which are readily accepted by your body.

Types of Incisions

The size and location of the incision for your breast augmentation depends on the type of implant you and your surgeon have determined will best produce the desired result.

  • Periareolar: Around the areola, where the darker skin of the areola and the lighter skin of the breast meet (no visible scars).
  • Inframammary: In the crease below the breast, where the breast connects with the chest (minor scarring covered by breast tissue).
  • Transaxillary: Next to the fold of the armpit (virtually invisible).
  • Transumbilical (TUBA): Through the navel (virtually invisible).

However, the size of the incision depends more on the type of implant than on where the implant will be placed.

Breast Augmentation Recovery

Expect to minimize physical activity for three to seven days. Both the length of needed downtime and achieving a full recovery will be based upon the following:

  • The location of the incision
  • Implant size
  • Whether the implant was placed above or below the pectoral muscle
  • The patient’s ability to heal

The time away from work and any aerobic exercise for submuscular placement or an inframammary incision is usually a week. Subglandular placement generally requires only two to three days away from work.

Breast Augmentation FAQ

What can I expect in a breast augmentation surgery?

How long does breast augmentation take to perform?

What is the recovery time after breast augmentation?

Is there a scarless breast augmentation?

How will I know how my new breasts will look?

What is the difference between saline and silicone breast implants?

How long before I can go back to my usual exercise routine?

How long do I need to take off work?

What can I expect in a breast augmentation surgery?

Your procedure will be a customized surgery with a treatment plan to address all the issues you want to resolve. It will involve creating a surgical pocket into which the breast implant, either saline or silicone, will be placed in the shape and size that best suits your body.

How long does breast augmentation take to perform?

A breast augmentation surgery typically requires between one to two hours to complete.

What is the recovery time after breast augmentation?

A typical recovery time is about one to two weeks. The extent of your procedure and the type of incisions varies from patient to patient, and some patients feel ready to get back to work within only a week or so.

Is there a scarless breast augmentation?

Modern surgical techniques allow for fat transfer breast augmentation which is essentially scarless. For saline breast implants, which are filled after placement, the incision can be placed in the fold of the armpit.

How will I know how my new breasts will look?

We help our patients visualize what different sizes and shapes will look like with an imaging system, which is extremely helpful in choosing the most appealing size, shape, and projection for implants.

What is the difference between saline and silicone breast implants?

Silicone implants have a very natural feel and weight, while saline implants require a smaller incision, as these are filled after being placed in the surgical pocket. Each has pros and cons, but saline implants are generally more successful for women with a little more natural breast tissue.

How long before I can go back to my usual exercise routine?

You must wait about six weeks before engaging in any vigorous physical activity. No stress must be put upon the incisions while healing. You will be given the okay to return to your usual exercise routine by your plastic surgeon when it is appropriate for you.

How long do I need to take off work?

Most patients take at least a week to ten days if they have a job that doesn’t entail reaching, lifting, or other types of motions. You will need more days away from work for that type of employment.
