What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast volume, improve shape, and create a more harmonious profile. Most commonly, this is achieved using silicone or saline breast implants. In some cases, fat grafting may also be used to enhance volume with a more natural approach.

Patients seek breast augmentation for a variety of reasons. Some wish to enhance naturally smaller breasts, while others want to restore volume lost after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss. Others are looking to correct asymmetry or improve the shape of breasts affected by aging or previous surgeries.

Whatever the reason, breast augmentation is a highly customizable procedure—every decision, from implant type to incision placement, is tailored to your anatomy and goals.

Benefits of Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation can offer both physical and emotional benefits. For many patients, the procedure not only enhances the appearance of the breasts but also improves confidence and self-image.

  • Enhances breast size and shape
  • Restores volume lost due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes
  • Corrects breast asymmetry
  • Improves balance between the upper and lower body
  • Creates a more youthful, lifted appearance
  • Boosts confidence in clothing, swimwear, and lingerie
  • Can be combined with other procedures, such as a breast lift or liposuction, for more comprehensive results

Your Choices in Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is never one-size-fits-all. Your surgeon will help you select the ideal combination of implant size, type, shape, and profile to complement your body and meet your expectations.

Implant Types

Implants may be filled with either saline (a sterile saltwater solution) or silicone gel. Silicone implants tend to offer a softer, more natural feel, while saline implants are filled after placement, allowing for smaller incisions. The newest generation of cohesive gel implants (often called “gummy bear” implants) are designed to hold their shape and minimize leakage, even in the rare event of a rupture.

Implant Sizes

Implant volume is measured in cubic centimeters (cc), not bra cup sizes. During your consultation, your surgeon will help you understand how different sizes will look on your frame. Patients with breast asymmetry can also choose different sizes for each side to achieve better balance.

Implant Shapes

Round implants offer fullness in both the upper and lower parts of the breast and are a popular choice for a more lifted, youthful appearance. Teardrop (anatomical) implants mimic the natural slope of the breast but may shift over time, which can affect the aesthetic result.

Implant Profiles

Profile refers to how far the implant projects from the chest wall. Low, moderate, and high-profile implants create different silhouettes, and the right choice will depend on your chest width, body proportions, and desired outcome.

Implant Textures

Implants are available with smooth or textured surfaces. Smooth implants tend to feel softer and move more naturally within the breast pocket, while textured implants may reduce the risk of implant shifting in certain patients.

Incision and Placement Options

There are several incision approaches used in breast augmentation, each with its own advantages.

Common options include:

  • Inframammary: In the crease beneath the breast, allowing for excellent access and concealment
  • Periareolar: Around the lower edge of the areola, blending naturally with skin transitions
  • Transaxillary: Within the armpit, leaving no scar on the breast itself

Implants may be placed either:

  • Submuscularly (beneath the chest muscle), which may result in a more natural look and reduce implant visibility
  • Subglandularly (above the muscle but beneath the breast tissue), which can be ideal for patients with ample natural breast volume

Your surgeon will recommend the best combination of incision and placement based on your anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences.

We’d love to hear from you.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Good candidates for breast augmentation are healthy adults with realistic expectations and specific goals for enhancing breast size or shape. You may be a candidate if you are unhappy with the current size of your breasts, have lost volume due to pregnancy or weight loss, or wish to correct asymmetry.

It's important that patients are at a stable weight, do not smoke (or are willing to quit before and after surgery), and are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding. A thorough consultation will help determine if breast augmentation is right for you, or if it should be combined with another procedure, such as a lift.

What to Expect During Your Breast Augmentation Procedure in San Francisco

Breast augmentation is typically performed on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation. The procedure usually takes one to two hours.

After anesthesia is administered, your surgeon will make the chosen incision and create a pocket in the breast tissue. The implant is then carefully placed and positioned.

Once both sides are balanced and symmetrical, the incisions are closed with fine sutures to minimize scarring.

You'll spend some time in the recovery suite before being released to return home. A friend or family member should drive you home and stay with you for at least the first 24 hours. You'll be given detailed post-operative instructions and a support bra to wear during the healing process.

What Is the Recovery Like?

Recovery from breast augmentation is generally straightforward. Most patients experience swelling, tightness, and mild discomfort for the first few days, which can be managed with oral pain medication and rest.

You'll need to wear a surgical bra for several weeks to support your implants as they settle. Light walking is encouraged early on to promote circulation, but strenuous activity and lifting should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks.

Bruising and swelling will subside gradually, and your implants will settle into a more natural position over the next few months. Scars will fade over time, especially with proper care and sun protection. Full results are typically visible by 3 to 6 months post-op.

How Much Does Breast Augmentation Cost?

The cost of breast augmentation in San Francisco varies depending on implant type, surgical complexity, and whether additional procedures (such as a breast lift) are included. During your consultation, you'll receive a personalized quote that includes surgeon's fees, facility costs, anesthesia, and follow-up care.

Can I combine breast augmentation with a breast lift?

Yes, combining augmentation with a lift is common for women who want to increase volume and correct sagging in one procedure. Your surgeon will discuss whether this is appropriate during your consultation.

How do I know which implant size is right for me?

Choosing an implant size involves assessing your body frame, breast tissue, and aesthetic preferences. Sizers and digital previews can help you visualize different options.

Will I lose nipple sensation after surgery?

Some patients experience temporary changes in nipple sensitivity, which usually resolves over time. Permanent changes are uncommon but possible and depend on incision placement and individual anatomy.

Are breast implants safe?

Yes, breast implants are FDA-approved and have undergone extensive safety testing. Your surgeon will explain the risks, including capsular contracture, rupture, and implant lifespan, during your consultation.

Do I need to replace my implants after 10 years?

Not necessarily. If there are no complications and you are satisfied with the appearance of your implants, replacement is not required at the 10-year mark. Many implants last 15–20 years or longer.
