How It Works Choose Your Enhancement

Athēnix plastic surgeons use masterful surgical artistry in their approach to breast augmentation. Both silicone and saline implants feature an outer silicone shell, each offering a slightly different texture and feel. Our surgeons carefully choose your implants' ideal size, shape, type, and placement for a youthful, full, and natural-looking result. Fat transfer gives a more subtle enhancement with a natural look and feel.

Silicone Implants

Silicone implants come pre-filled with a unique silicone gel designed to replicate the natural feel of human fat, resulting in a texture that closely resembles natural breast tissue. Athēnix surgeons use FDA-approved Natrelle® and Sientra® implants, which offer many sizes and shapes and automatically enroll you in a free warranty program so you can feel reassured about the safety and durability of your implants.

Natural Fat Transfer

Natural fat transfer for breast augmentation involves using liposuction to harvest excess fat from one area of the body, such as the thighs or abdomen, and transferring it to the breasts. This technique offers a more natural look and feel than implants without the risk of implant rupture or rejection. It's a two-in-one procedure that enhances your breasts while sculpting another area of your body.

Saline Implants

Saline breast implants are filled with sterile saltwater, offering a flexible and adjustable option for breast augmentation in Scottsdale. They come pre-filled or can be filled during surgery, making size adjustments easier. In case of a rupture, the saline is absorbed harmlessly by the body. They are FDA-approved and suitable for women 18 years or older.

Implant Placement

Implant placement is an essential consideration in the breast augmentation process. The surgeon places them in a surgically created “pocket” beneath the muscles between your breast tissue and the chest wall or underneath the breast tissue above the muscle. Our surgeons will assess your goals and body type to determine the ideal technique.

Submuscular Placement

Submuscular implants are placed under the pectoral muscle, which protects the implant. If you have thin breast tissue, submuscular placement may be ideal. This placement tends to result in breast implants positioned higher than those placed over the muscle and may hold their position for years without fear of sagging or drooping.

Submammary Placement

Submuscular implants are placed under the pectoral muscle, which protects the implant. If you have thin breast tissue, submuscular placement may be ideal. This placement tends to result in breast implants positioned higher than those placed over the muscle and may hold their position for years without fear of sagging or drooping.

Breast Implant Incision Options

Our physicians will take the time to discuss the best incision options based on implant placement above or under the chest muscle, implant size, and the type of implant utilized. Consider the following as one of your options.

Inframammary Incision

The inframammary technique is one of the most common and involves inserting the implant under the breast through the skin fold where the breast and chest connect. This results in no visible scarring while standing, as the breast tissue covers the incision.

Transumbilical Incision

This technique involves inserting the breast implant through an incision in the navel and then adjusting it in the breast pocket. No incisions are made in the breast; this option only works for some types of saline implants.

Transaxillary Incision

The transaxillary method involves inserting implants through an incision in the upper breast, next to the fold of the armpit. The incision is almost invisible, even when the arm is raised.

Periareolar Incision

Periareolar is when the incisions are made around the areola, which results in no visible scars. This technique is used if the implants are placed over the chest muscle.

Your Breast Augmentation Recovery Process

Immediately After Surgery

After your breast augmentation, you'll wear a special surgical bra to support and reduce swelling.

That Day

Expect to be somewhat groggy as the anesthesia wears off. Light showering may be possible 48 hours after surgery.

Following Days

Take short walks to promote mobility, preventing blood clots and complications. Aim for getting up at least five times a day.

One Week Post-Op

The soft compression band can be removed. Most patients return to work, but physically demanding jobs may require additional recovery time.

Two Weeks

Bruising and swelling should subside, and over-the-counter pain relief can help. Patients get a good idea of their results by this point.

Six Weeks

Muscles in your upper body have had sufficient time to heal, allowing a gradual return to exercise. Avoid chest-related exercises like bench presses and push-ups.

Three Months

You'll see the final results of your breast augmentation, with swelling reduced, tissues healed, and scars fading.

Six Months

Your new breasts are fully settled and have a natural, beautiful appearance. Your journey to beautiful, natural-looking breasts doesn't end with the surgery; it's an ongoing process of recovery and self-confidence.
