What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is cosmetic breast surgery that uses saline or silicone implants to enlarge the breasts and enhance their shape and size. In this procedure, Dr. Vitenas makes an incision to create a pocket for the implant, either under the breast tissue or the pectoral muscle. The implants are inserted into the pockets and positioned to achieve optimal, natural-looking results.

Breast Augmentation Recovery Process

Call the office promptly about severe pain, excessive swelling, discharge, fever, or other concerns. The risk of hematoma after breast augmentation, though rare, is a potential complication you might encounter.

Breast Augmentation Results

Immediately After Surgery:
You’ll see a preview of your results, but your breasts may look high and tight due to swelling and compression of the tissues depending on the amount of native skin you have and the size of the implant which was chosen.

Initial swelling begins to subside, though results may still appear tight or swollen.

Swelling continues to decrease, and the implants start to settle into place. Some mild shifting or settling of the implants is normal during this time. Sensation often begins to return, though some numbness may persist.

Swelling should be mostly gone, and your breast shape will become more natural as the implants settle further.

Final results are typically visible. Incision lines will continue to fade and mature into thin, white scars.

By this point, most patients see their full, final results, including the full fading of scars and the permanent settling of the implants.

Patience is key throughout the healing process, as it takes time for swelling to completely resolve and for the implants to settle into their final position.

Breast Augmentation Common Questions

Dr. Paul Vitenas, with over 35 years of experience and more than 10,000 breast surgeries performed, is highly regarded as one of the top board-certified plastic surgeons in Texas. His extensive expertise and dedication to achieving aesthetically pleasing, natural results make him a premier choice for breast surgery in Texas and throughout the United States.
The average cost of primary breast implant surgery is around $7,000. Prices vary depending on factors like the type of implants used, surgical facility fees, and if the procedure is combined with other procedures like a breast lift. Dr. Vitenas will discuss your specific needs and provide a detailed quote. Financing options are also available to make the procedure more accessible.
The right size depends on your body frame, chest wall, existing breast tissue, and desired outcome. Dr. Vitenas listens to your preferences, suggests suitable sizes, and allows you to try on different implant sizers to see what works best for you. This helps ensure that the chosen size complements your body shape, whether you’re aiming for a more natural look or larger breasts.
Like any other surgical procedure, the preparation involves avoiding certain medications, stopping smoking, and following specific pre-operative instructions provided by Dr. Vitenas.. During your initial consultation, Dr. Vitenas will guide you through these steps to ensure you are fully prepared. This helps to promote a smoother process and better outcomes for breast augmentation patients.
It takes about 6-8 weeks for breast implants to fully heal and settle into place. Swelling gradually resolves over the first 2-3 weeks. Incision sites continue to mature for twelve months after surgery, with the scar gradually softening and becoming flatter and lighter in color.
Silicone gel implants are popular for their softer, more natural feel. Saline implants, filled with a saline solution (salt water), are often chosen by those who prefer not to use silicone. Saline implants are about 30% heavier than silicone ones of the same size. Because saline is non-compressible, the implants tend to feel firmer when squeezed, making them feel less natural during physical contact, like hugging.

The longevity of breast augmentation can vary, but implants typically last 10 to 20 years. However, factors such as age, lifestyle, and changes in weight can influence the duration of results. Breast Augmentation should not be considered a “one-and-done” procedure.

Changes in nipple sensitivity after breast augmentation are common but are usually temporary. Patients may experience increased or decreased sensation, which often returns to normal within 6 weeks to 3 months. Loss of sensation, though rare, is more likely with larger implants due to nerve stretching or unique anatomy. Expert surgeons like Dr. Vitenas aim to minimize long-term sensitivity issues, helping sensation return to normal as healing progresses.
