Expected Benefits

The results of a breast augmentation will vary because each treatment is personalized to meet the unique needs of each patient. However, most patients can expect to see increased breast size and a perkier, rounder bust. Breasts may appear more symmetrical and proportional to the rest of your body. Breasts should also appear fuller, especially for patients who had a breast augmentation to restore volume after pregnancy or weight loss.

Dr. Devlin will make every effort to make your resulting scars as discreet and inconspicuous as possible. Incisions are strategically placed in the breast crease or in an area that will be hidden by clothing and undergarments to reduce visibility. Although scarring is inevitable, you can minimize the appearance of your scars by closely following your post-surgery instructions during your recovery. Scars can significantly fade over time, especially with proper care.

Implant Considerations

Implants are only designed to last for about 10 years before they must be replaced. You will need to maintain regular check-ups to examine your implants to ensure there are no ruptures or tears, especially if you have received silicone implants. You can also develop complications if scarring forms around the implant or the implant rotates. Despite these concerns, many patients are very happy with their implants and are able to undergo implant replacement without further scarring or issues.

Dr. Devlin will help you choose the best implant type, placement, and incision locations to help you achieve your desired results and ensure that you are satisfied.

Difference Between Breast Lift and Augmentation

Patients are frequently unsure whether they would most benefit from a breast lift or an augmentation. Generally, a breast lift is performed to correct moderate to severe drooping or sagging breasts. Breast augmentations are performed for patients who want to increase the size of their breasts. 

In some cases, these two procedures are combined to offer patients a more comprehensive treatment plan. The combination of procedures will increase the size and volume of the breasts, improve shape, and lift the breasts for a more youthful appearance. Breast lift and breast augmentation procedures are typically performed as one surgery to minimize pain, discomfort, and the recovery period for patients.
