How Breast Augmentation Works
Breast augmentation is customized based on your existing breast tissue, chest anatomy, skin quality, desired size, implant preference, and recovery plan.
Breast Implants
Breast implants may be filled with silicone gel or saline. Implant choice depends on your body, desired feel, desired shape, and the recommendation made during your consultation.
Your surgeon will also discuss implant placement, incision options, sizing, and whether breast augmentation alone is enough or if a lift should be considered.
Silicone and Saline Implant Options
Silicone and saline implants can both be used to create fuller breasts. Cohesive gel silicone implants are a common option for patients who want a soft and natural-feeling result, while saline implants may be preferred in selected cases.

Procedure Important Facts
Breast augmentation typically takes about two to three hours, depending on the patient, implant plan, incision type, anesthesia, and whether another breast procedure is performed at the same time.
Surgical Procedure
The procedure usually involves placing silicone or saline implants into the chest according to a personalized surgical plan.
Anesthesia
Breast augmentation may be performed under general anesthesia or, in selected cases, local anesthesia with appropriate medication.
Recovery Planning
Recovery instructions are personalized. Your care team will explain activity restrictions, follow-up visits, and scar care.
General Anesthesia and Comfort
General anesthesia is commonly used during breast augmentation because it allows patients to be fully asleep and comfortable during the procedure. Some patients may be candidates for another anesthesia approach depending on the treatment plan.
Your anesthesia recommendation will depend on your health history, implant plan, surgical approach, and comfort level.
Comfort-Focused Planning
Your surgeon may discuss pain-control strategies before and after surgery to help support a smoother recovery. Every patient’s recovery experience is different, so aftercare instructions should be followed closely.
