Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that enhances the size and shape of the breasts using implants or fat transfer. The goal is to achieve fuller, more symmetrical, and youthful-looking breasts that align with your body proportions.
Modern breast augmentation is highly customizable. During your consultation, Dr. Jordan will discuss implant options, including silicone and saline breast implants; implant size, shape, and profile; incision techniques; and placement. Every decision is made with your body proportions and long-term goals in mind, creating results that feel balanced rather than overdone.
Many patients choose breast augmentation after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, or because they have naturally smaller breasts or uneven breast size. Others combine breast augmentation with a breast lift to restore both volume and position.
Types of Implants
Silicone Implants: Known for their natural feel and realistic texture.
Saline Implants: Filled with sterile saline solution, offering adjustable volume and smaller incisions.
Fat Transfer: Uses your body’s natural fat to enhance breast volume and contour with a soft, subtle result.
At Couture Plastic Surgery, your consultation begins with an in-depth discussion of your aesthetic goals and expectations. Our surgeons will guide you through implant types, sizes, shapes, and incision placement options to create results that look natural and balanced with your frame.
We use advanced imaging and measurement techniques to help you visualize your results and make informed decisions. Every surgical plan is customized to your anatomy, ensuring your outcome feels uniquely yours.
Before Surgery: You will receive detailed preoperative instructions to ensure a smooth surgical experience. This may include guidance on medications, lifestyle adjustments, and preparing for recovery.
During Surgery: Breast augmentation is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The surgeon will make a small incision in one of several discreet locations, such as the breast crease, around the areola, or under the arm (periareolar, inframammary, or transaxillary incisions). Through this opening, Dr. Jordan creates a precise implant pocket either beneath the breast tissue or partially beneath the pectoral muscle (chest muscle). The placement is chosen based on your existing breast tissue, chest wall anatomy, implant selection, and desired outcome. The chosen implant or fat transfer is then carefully placed to achieve your desired size and shape.
Once the implant pocket has been prepared, your selected silicone or saline breast implants are carefully inserted and positioned for symmetry and balance. If fat transfer breast augmentation is part of your treatment plan, fat is first removed from another area of the body using gentle liposuction, purified, and strategically injected into the breasts as fat grafts to enhance shape and volume; depending on your anatomy and goals, up to 300 ml may be injected per session. Fat grafting typically increases breast volume by about 60-80% of the initial size, and some absorption can occur over 18-24 months.
After confirming the final position of the implants, the incisions are meticulously closed, surgical tape is applied, and you will be fitted with a supportive surgical bra. Most patients return home the same day with detailed instructions for recovery and follow-up appointments.
The procedure typically takes one to two hours.
Breast augmentation can improve a variety of cosmetic concerns, including naturally small breasts, loss of breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss, uneven breasts, mild asymmetry, and changes related to aging. Some patients also pursue breast augmentation as part of breast reconstruction following mastectomy or other reconstructive breast surgery, including reconstruction planning after breast cancer treatment when appropriate.
Rather than creating a single standard appearance, breast augmentation is designed to enhance your proportions while complementing your existing figure.
For many patients, breast augmentation offers benefits that extend well beyond increasing breast size. Clothing often fits more comfortably, swimwear feels more flattering, and patients frequently report feeling more confident in their overall appearance. Some patients also report improved sexual functioning after surgery.
Because today's breast implants are available in numerous sizes, shapes, and profiles, your results can be tailored to your personal aesthetic. Whether your goal is a subtle enhancement or a more noticeable increase in volume, your procedure is designed around your preferences and the aesthetic benefits you want to achieve.
Breast augmentation can also restore fullness lost after pregnancy or significant weight loss, improve breast symmetry, and create a more proportional silhouette. For patients seeking a softer enhancement, fat transfer breast augmentation may provide modest volume using your own body fat.
Breast augmentation is an excellent option for patients who are:
Ideal candidates should understand both the benefits and limitations of breast implant surgery. During your consultation, Dr. Jordan will review your medical history, discuss implant options, evaluate your breast tissue and skin quality, and determine the safest treatment plan for your individual needs.

Recovery: After surgery, mild swelling and tightness are common and typically subside within a few weeks. Most patients return to work and light activity within five to seven days. Exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for approximately four weeks.
You will receive personalized post-operative care instructions and have scheduled follow-ups to monitor your healing and results.
Most patients experience soreness, tightness, swelling, and mild bruising during the first several days after surgery. Wearing a supportive sports bra or your surgical bra as directed helps support healing while minimizing swelling. Early discomfort often improves sooner, but full recovery from breast augmentation usually takes 4 to 6 weeks.
Many patients return to office work within about one week, although strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for several weeks. As swelling gradually resolves, your implants begin to settle into their final position. Regular follow-up appointments allow Dr. Jordan to monitor your healing and ensure your recovery stays on track. They also help monitor for issues such as infection, hematoma, or implant rupture.
Following all postoperative instructions is important for achieving optimal healing and long-term results.
Results from breast augmentation are visible immediately and continue to improve as swelling resolves. Implants are long-lasting, though they may need to be replaced or adjusted over time. Fat transfer results are permanent but may vary slightly as your body naturally adapts. Final breast augmentation results typically become more apparent as healing progresses.
With proper care, a healthy lifestyle, and regular checkups, your enhanced shape and confidence can last for many years.
Today's breast implants are designed to be durable and long-lasting, but they are not considered lifetime devices. Natural aging, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and other life changes may affect your appearance over time. Some patients eventually need revision surgery or explantation, and about 20% of women with implants require explantation within ten years. Rates of breast implant rupture can reach 15–30% after ten years, and MRI detects 86% of breast implant ruptures. Capsular contracture occurs in roughly 6–7% of patients and may be one reason a secondary procedure is considered. BIA-ALCL, or anaplastic large cell lymphoma, has been linked to textured breast implants. Regular breast imaging and routine follow-up care help monitor the health of your implants for years to come.
For many patients, breast augmentation provides lasting improvements in body confidence while maintaining a natural appearance that feels authentic to them.
Choosing breast augmentation is deeply personal, and selecting the right surgical team is just as important as choosing the procedure itself, arguably one of the most important decisions when choosing a breast augmentation surgeon. At Couture Plastic Surgery, every patient receives attentive, individualized care from consultation through recovery.

Both silicone and saline implants are safe, FDA-approved options. Silicone implants contain silicone gel within a silicone shell and often feel more like natural breast tissue, while saline implants offer different advantages depending on your anatomy and preferences. Some patients prefer round implants for more upper-pole fullness, while shaped implants may be selected for a more tailored contour. Your consultation helps determine the best choice.
You should continue routine breast imaging as recommended by your physician. Be sure to tell the imaging center that you have breast implants so appropriate techniques can be used.
The cost varies depending on your surgical plan, implant selection, and whether additional procedures are performed. Following your consultation, you will receive a detailed quote based on your individualized treatment plan.
