What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances breast size and shape, typically by inserting implants or transferring a patient's own fat tissue into the breasts. Implant options include saline, silicone gel, and highly cohesive “gummy bear” implants, each with its own advantages. At pēkomd®, we focus on tailoring the choice of implant to your body type, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences.

During your consultation, our board-certified surgeons will assess your anatomy and listen closely to your vision for your ideal figure. From there, we'll recommend the implant size, shape, and placement approach that aligns with your goals. Our mission is to create a natural, harmonious look that complements your overall physique—helping you feel confident both in and out of your clothes.

Breast Implants vs. Fat Transfer Augmentation

There are two primary options for increasing breast volume at pēkomd®: implants or fat transfer. Breast implants offer a wider variety of sizes and shapes, making it possible to achieve a significant boost in volume. Depending on your frame and desired outcome, saline or silicone implants can deliver results ranging from subtle enhancement to a more dramatic change. Fat transfer, on the other hand, uses your body's own fatty tissue—often harvested from areas like the abdomen or thighs—to enhance the breasts.

While the volume increase may be more modest, many patients appreciate the natural feel and reduced risk of foreign-body complications. This approach can be especially appealing if you also have excess fat in specific areas you'd like to sculpt. Ultimately, the decision hinges on your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle, and our surgeons will guide you toward the method that best fits your needs.

What to Expect During Your Breast Augmentation Procedure at pēkomd®

Before scheduling surgery, you'll have a comprehensive consultation with one of our board-certified surgeons. We'll discuss your medical history, aesthetic aspirations, and any personal concerns or preferences. With these insights, we'll craft a surgical plan that details your implant type (if chosen), incision placement, and other procedural specifics.

Our goal is to ensure clarity and peace of mind ahead of your operation. On the day of surgery, you'll arrive at our accredited facility, where patient comfort is a top priority. After administering anesthesia—usually general anesthesia to keep you relaxed—the surgeon will make discreet incisions, often under the breast crease or around the areola, to place your implants or inject transferred fat.

Depending on the planned approach, the procedure typically lasts one to two hours. Following the closing of incisions, you'll be monitored in a recovery area until you're cleared to return home. Throughout this process, our caring staff will keep you informed and supported, ensuring you feel at ease with each step.

I would say Dr. Markov is a bit of a perfectionist.

Recovering After Your Breast Augmentation Procedure

Most patients can expect mild to moderate soreness, swelling, and bruising during the first few days post-surgery. Over-the-counter or prescribed pain medications help manage discomfort, and you'll likely wear a supportive garment or bra to aid healing. Many women feel ready to resume light daily activities within a week, though it's wise to wait for your surgeon's go-ahead before returning to exercise or heavy lifting—typically around four to six weeks.

Swelling diminishes gradually over several weeks, revealing your final shape and size. Attending follow-up appointments is crucial; these visits allow us to check on your progress, answer questions, and offer personalized advice on scar care or ongoing breast health. By taking care to follow post-operative guidelines, you'll help ensure a smooth recovery and satisfying long-term results.

Breast Asymmetry Correction

Breast asymmetry is a common concern, with one breast often appearing slightly larger or differently shaped than the other. During breast augmentation surgery, your surgeon can address these differences by selecting implants of varying sizes or shapes, or by removing and transferring small amounts of fat. The result is a more balanced, proportional look that aligns each breast closely in size and contour.

Are You an Ideal Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation may be an excellent option if you're dissatisfied with breast size, shape, or symmetry, and are seeking a long-term solution that aligns with your lifestyle. Good candidates are typically in overall good health, have realistic expectations, and are prepared to follow post-operative guidelines for a safe recovery.

It's also important to consider future life changes like pregnancy or weight fluctuations, which can affect your breasts over time. During your consultation at pēkomd®, we'll delve into your medical history, aesthetic goals, and any relevant personal factors. If breast augmentation isn't the best path—perhaps another procedure or combination of treatments suits you better—we'll discuss all available options to ensure a balanced, patient-centric decision.

Breast Augmentation Frequently Asked Questions

Ready to explore how breast augmentation can enhance your confidence? Contact pēkomd® to schedule a one-on-one consultation and take the first step toward a more self-assured you.

How long do breast implants last?

While breast implants are designed to be long-term, they aren't necessarily lifetime devices. Many remain in good condition for 10–15 years or more, but factors like implant type, personal healing, and lifestyle can influence longevity.

Will I still be able to breastfeed after augmentation?

Most women can breastfeed without issues, especially if the incision is placed under the breast crease. However, it's essential to discuss future pregnancy plans with your surgeon during the consultation.

Can I combine breast augmentation with other procedures?

Absolutely. Many patients choose to combine breast augmentation with a lift (mastopexy) or other body contouring treatments for a more comprehensive result. We'll advise on the safest approach for your goals.

What if I'm not sure about the size or type of implant?

Our thorough consultation process includes detailed measurements, 3D simulations, or sizers to help you visualize different implant sizes and shapes, ensuring you feel confident in your choice.

Is fat transfer alone enough for a significant size increase?

Fat transfer can provide a modest boost, but it may not achieve the same volume increase as implants. Your surgeon will help you decide if fat transfer is right for your desired outcome.
