Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a person’s breasts. The plastic surgeons at Singh Surgical Arts offer this procedure to women looking to achieve a more balanced or fuller bust appearance, whether they’re concerned about breast size, symmetry, or natural age-related changes.
Enhance Your Breast Size, Shape, and Appearance
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that aims to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breasts. It involves the placement of breast implants or the transfer of fat from other parts of the body to the breast area. This surgery is sought for various reasons, such as to achieve a more proportionate and balanced figure, restore breast volume lost due to pregnancy or weight loss, correct congenital breast asymmetry, or boost self-confidence.
The procedure typically begins with a consultation with a qualified plastic surgeon who will assess your goals and discuss various options, including implant types, sizes, and incision locations. While breast augmentation can offer transformative results, it’s essential for those considering this surgery to have realistic expectations and understand the potential risks and recovery process involved. Our plastic surgeons will determine if breast augmentation is a suitable option for you and select the appropriate technique and implant style.

Breast Augmentation FAQs
How do I choose the right breast implant size?
The choice of implant size depends on your individual goals and body proportions. During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your needs and help you select the appropriate implant size based on your desired outcome and anatomy.
What are the different types of breast implants?
There are primarily two types of breast implants: saline and silicone gel. Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater and can be adjusted after surgery, while silicone gel implants have a more natural feel. Your surgeon will discuss the pros and cons of each type with you.
What is the recovery like after breast augmentation?
Recovery time varies from person to person, but most patients can return to light activities within a week and resume more strenuous activities in four to six weeks. You may experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising initially, but these symptoms typically subside over time.
How long do breast implants last?
Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices and may require replacement or removal in the future. The lifespan of implants can vary, but many women enjoy their results for a decade or more before considering revision surgery.
Will breast augmentation affect breastfeeding or mammograms?
Breast augmentation can potentially affect your ability to breastfeed, depending on the surgical technique and implant placement. It’s essential to discuss your plans for breastfeeding with your surgeon. Mammograms may also require additional views or techniques to ensure accurate results, so inform your healthcare provider about your implants.
Can breast augmentation correct sagging breasts?
Breast augmentation primarily increases breast size and may provide a modest lift in some cases. For more significant sagging, a breast lift (mastopexy) may be recommended in conjunction with or instead of breast augmentation.
