Breast Augmentation Before and After
Breast augmentation, commonly known as a “boob job” is a surgical procedure that increases the size and fullness of the breasts, while improving symmetry and enhancing contours. This procedure can be performed using breast implants (saline or silicone) or fat transfer from other areas of the body, depending on your body and aesthetic goals.

Breast Augmentation FAQ
On average, breast implants last 10 years. Some patients may need to have their implants replaced due to aging, implant rupture or leakage, hardening or capsular contracture.
The initial breast augmentation recovery period involves some pain, which is typically manageable with prescribed medication. The first week is generally the most uncomfortable, and patients may experience soreness, tightness, and swelling for a few weeks after surgery.
Breast augmentation increases the size of the breasts, while a breast lift (mastopexy) lifts and reshapes sagging, also known as ptosis, breasts. In some cases, both procedures can be done together for optimal results.
Silicone implants provide the most natural breast augmentation. The most common shape for a silicone implant is a round implant. Tear drop silicone implants are another less frequently utilized option.. A fat transfer breast augmentation is another option for natural looking results, which uses your body fat instead of implants.
In general, it’s best to wait until after having children for breast augmentation surgery, as pregnancy and breastfeeding can affect breast shape and volume, potentially impacting your results.
Most patients typically take about one week off work to recover from the breast augmentation procedure, depending on their job and how they feel. However, strenuous activities should be avoided for six weeks.
