What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of your breasts. By utilizing personalized breast implants, it's possible to augment breast volume, restore symmetry, and improve overall breast appearance. At Athēnix Portland, we take pride in tailoring each breast augmentation to complement your unique physique.

Common Concerns Is Breast Augmentation for You?

Many women express concerns about their breast size or shape, making them potential candidates for breast augmentation. Common concerns include:

  • Small breast size
  • A desire for improved proportions
  • Difficulty with clothing fit
  • Decreased breast volume post-weight loss
  • Changes after breastfeeding
  • Breast asymmetry
  • A wish for a more youthful appearance
  • Atypical breast shape
  • Sagging or deflation
  • Dissatisfaction with prior breast implant size or shape

How It Works Choose Your Enhancement

Our experienced plastic surgeons at Athēnix apply their artistic talents to breast augmentation, offering both silicone and saline implants, each with subtle differences in texture and sensation. The choice of size, shape, type, and placement of the implants is made carefully to achieve a youthful, full, and genuinely natural look. Natural fat transfer provides a natural look and feel for those seeking a more subtle enhancement without implants.

Silicone Implants

We use FDA-approved Sientra® silicone implants, which closely mimic the feel of natural breast tissue, offering a realistic texture. These implants come with automatic enrollment in a warranty program for added peace of mind.

Natural Fat Transfer

This procedure combines breast augmentation with body sculpting, using excess fat from areas like the thighs or abdomen via liposuction. The harvested fat is then purified and reinserted into the breasts to enhance symmetry and fullness without the risks of implant rupture or rejection.

Saline Implants

Saline implants, suitable for women 18 and older, offer flexibility and easy size adjustments. In the unlikely event of a rupture, the saline is harmlessly absorbed by the body.

Implant Placement: Over or Under the Muscle

The choice of implant placement is a critical decision. Based on your goals and physique, surgeons create a "pocket" for the implants either beneath the chest muscle or within the breast tissue.

Submuscular Placement

Submuscular implants are positioned beneath the pectoral muscle, offering protection and maintaining a youthful appearance over time, making them an excellent choice for individuals with minimal breast tissue.

Submammary Placement

Submammary, or subglandular, placement situates the implants above the chest muscle and behind the breast tissue, typically involving fewer muscle-related issues.

Breast Implant Incision Options

We offer various incision options tailored to your implant placement, type, and size.

Inframammary Incision

Made beneath the breast, this technique results in no visible scarring while standing.

Transumbilical Incision

This incision is placed in the navel, making it an incision-free approach on the breast itself.

Transaxillary Incision

Implants are inserted through an incision in the upper breast beside the armpit's fold, leaving virtually no visible scarring.

Periareolar Incision

This incision technique encircles the areola, resulting in no visible scars, and is commonly used when the implants are placed over the chest muscle.

Natural Breast Augmentation Using Fat Transfer

Considering breast enhancement without implants? A natural breast augmentation in Fresno is an excellent option.

  • Eliminate excess fat from troublesome areas.
  • Enhance breast symmetry and fullness using your body's own fat cells.
  • Achieve fuller breasts without traditional implants.

The process entails precise fat removal via liposuction, followed by purification and reinsertion into the breasts to enhance symmetry and fullness. If the concept of breast implants makes you uneasy, this procedure may be the perfect choice.

Your Recovery Process

Immediately After Surgery & That Day

A supportive surgical bra is worn to reduce swelling. Grogginess may occur as anesthesia wanes, with light showering possible after 48 hours.

Following Days

Short walks are encouraged to promote mobility and prevent clotting. Frequent changes in position also help.

One Week Post-Op

The soft compression band removal is standard, and most can return to work, although physically demanding jobs may require extra recovery time.

Two Weeks

Bruising and swelling should decrease, with over-the-counter pain relief available. Patients begin to assess their results.

Six Weeks

Upper body muscles heal, permitting a gradual return to exercise. Chest-related workouts are typically avoided.

Three Months

By this time, the final results emerge as swelling reduces, tissues heal, and scars fade.

Six Months

The breasts will have fully settled into a natural and beautiful appearance.
