Understanding Breast Augmentation Surgery

Thinking about enhancing your breast size and shape? Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammaplasty, may be the surgical option you're looking for. With implants customized to your specific goals, you can achieve better symmetry, added volume, and an aesthetic result that helps boost your confidence and body image.

Is Breast Augmentation Right for You? Common Concerns We Address

Breast size and shape concerns are incredibly common, and many women considering augmentation share similar goals or frustrations, including:

  • Smaller breast size than desired
  • Wanting improved proportion and balance
  • Difficulty finding clothes that fit well
  • Lost volume after weight loss
  • Changes following pregnancy or breastfeeding
  • Noticeable asymmetry between breasts
  • Desire for a more youthful look
  • Uneven or irregular breast shape
  • Sagging or loss of firmness
  • Unhappiness with a previous implant's size or shape

Your Options, Your Enhancement

At Athēnix, our skilled plastic surgeons bring artistry and precision to every breast enhancement. Patients can choose between silicone and saline implants, each offering distinct benefits, or opt for natural fat transfer for a more subtle, authentic look and feel.

Silicone Implants

Our practice exclusively offers FDA approved Sientra® silicone implants, prized for a natural feel that closely mimics human breast tissue. Choosing Sientra also means automatic enrollment in a complimentary warranty program, giving you added confidence in the safety and longevity of your implants.

Natural Fat Transfer

This approach pairs breast enhancement with body contouring by removing excess fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs through liposuction. That fat is then carefully transferred to the breasts, creating natural-looking results while avoiding the risks associated with implants.

Saline Implants

Saline implants offer a flexible option for women 18 and older seeking breast augmentation. They can arrive pre filled or be filled during surgery, allowing for easier size adjustments. And should a rupture ever occur, the saline solution is simply and safely absorbed by the body.

Choosing the Right Implant Placement

Deciding where your implants sit is one of the most important parts of planning your breast augmentation. Surgeons position implants in a "pocket" either beneath the chest muscle or above it within the breast tissue, with the right choice depending on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Submuscular Placement

Positioning implants beneath the pectoral muscle provides added protection and works especially well for patients with limited natural breast tissue. This approach tends to result in a higher implant position, helping preserve a more youthful look over the long term.

Submammary Placement

Submammary, or subglandular, placement sets the implants above the chest muscle and beneath the breast tissue itself. This option tends to suit patients with good skin elasticity or those choosing smaller implants, and it's generally less affected by muscle movement.

Choosing Your Incision Approach

Your surgeon will guide you toward the incision option best suited to your implant placement, size, and type. Common approaches include:

Inframammary Incision

This approach places the implant through a small incision hidden in the natural fold beneath the breast, leaving no visible scarring when standing.

Transumbilical Incision

This method places the incision along the natural fold of the upper breast near the armpit, minimizing scarring and keeping it largely hidden even when the arm is raised.

Transaxillary Incision

This method places the incision along the natural fold of the upper breast near the armpit, keeping scarring minimal and largely hidden even when the arm is raised.

Periareolar Incision

This incision follows the border of the areola, blending in with minimal visible scarring. It's typically used when implants are positioned above the chest muscle.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

For Seattle area patients considering breast enhancement without implants, natural breast augmentation at Athēnix is an excellent alternative worth exploring.

The procedure involves precise fat removal through liposuction from areas like the abdomen or thighs, purification of the fat, and careful reinsertion into the breasts to enhance fullness and symmetry. If implants aren't the right fit for you, this approach may be exactly what you're looking for.

Your Recovery Process

Immediately After Surgery

You'll be fitted with a supportive surgical bra to help minimize swelling.

That Day

You may feel groggy as the anesthesia wears off. Light showering is typically fine after 48 hours.

Following Days

Short, gentle walks help keep you mobile and reduce the risk of blood clots. Aim to get up and move around at least five times a day.

One Week Post-Op

The soft compression band can be removed around this point. Most patients feel ready to return to work, though those with physically demanding jobs may need extra time before resuming full duties.

Two Weeks

Swelling and bruising typically start to fade, and over the counter pain relief is usually enough to manage any discomfort. This is often when patients begin getting a first real sense of their results.

Six Weeks

By now, upper body muscles have largely healed, making it safe to gradually reintroduce exercise. Chest focused strenuous workouts should still be avoided during this stage.

Three Months

As swelling continues to resolve and tissues fully heal, your final results begin to take shape and scars start to fade.

Six Months

At this point, the breasts have fully settled into their natural position, revealing the complete, refined outcome.

I wanted a tummy tuck, liposuction and fat transfer to my butt. One of the things I loved about Dr Lehrman was he looks out for your well being. My tummy tuck was going to be a Fleur de Lis, which is a cut up the middle of...

Emily Curnutte, Google Breast Procedures, Dr. Lehrman

From the very first consult to my 3 week post appointment I have never felt so validated. I had a mommy makeover with a different surgeon about three years ago and had complications with my breast implants. The previous surgeon made me feel like I was unimportant and the issue had everything to do with me doing something wrong rather than wanting to step up and give options help. Dr. Lehrman and his crew...

He did amazing work and is v...

Which is better: saline, silicone, or natural fat transfer?

What steps should I take to prepare for surgery?

How is the right implant size determined?

How do saline and silicone implants compare?

Are silicone breast implants safe?

The Institute of Medicine has found no evidence linking breast implant materials, including silicone, to major health issues. Athēnix surgeons have helped countless patients achieve safe, natural looking results with this option.

What should I look for in a breast augmentation surgeon?

Look for a board certified surgeon affiliated with reputable organizations like the American Society of Plastic Surgeons or the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery. Reviewing before and after photos, reading patient feedback, and confirming your surgeon communicates clearly are all worthwhile steps.

What risks come with breast augmentation?

Every surgery carries some level of risk, but working with a board certified plastic surgeon trained in safe techniques helps reduce potential complications. If you notice unusual pain or symptoms after surgery, reach out to your surgeon right away.

Which is better: saline, silicone, or natural fat transfer?

During your consultation, your surgeon will help determine the best fit based on your goals and anatomy:

  • Silicone implants: Closely mimic natural breast tissue in look and feel, though they require a larger incision.
  • Natural fat transfer: Delivers a natural texture and appearance while contouring another area of the body, with fewer implant related risks.
  • Saline implants: Filled with sterile saltwater, more budget friendly, and placed through a smaller incision.

What steps should I take to prepare for surgery?

Your surgeon will provide specific pre surgery guidance, which often includes pausing certain medications, avoiding smoking, completing bloodwork, and arranging for someone to drive you home afterward.

How is the right implant size determined?

Athēnix uses 3D imaging, precise measurements, and an in depth conversation about your lifestyle and goals to help guide sizing. Seattle area patients rely on this process for personalized, natural looking outcomes.

How do saline and silicone implants compare?

Saline implants are filled once placed and tend to feel slightly firmer, while silicone implants come pre filled and feel closer to natural tissue. Your consultation is where we'll help you decide which material best fits your goals.
