Breast augmentation at Avante Plastic Surgery enhances your breast shape, symmetry, and fullness using advanced techniques tailored to your goals. Led by Dr. Ahmadi, our board-certified plastic surgeon, this procedure helps you achieve a more balanced silhouette with natural-looking results that complement your unique proportions.
About
Changes in breast anatomy, such as naturally small breasts, volume loss after pregnancy or weight fluctuations, or noticeable asymmetry, can affect the balance of your proportions and the way clothing fits your body. These concerns often stem from variations in glandular tissue or soft-tissue support, leading many women to seek a more harmonious silhouette.
Breast augmentation is a highly customizable surgical procedure that enhances breast size, shape, and projection using implants or, in select cases, fat transfer. At Avante Plastic Surgery, the approach is tailored to your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle. Implants are placed either above or below the chest muscle through discreet incisions, allowing Dr. Ahmadi to refine your contour, improve symmetry, and restore lost volume. The result is fuller, beautifully proportioned breasts that look and feel naturally aligned with your frame.
Benefits
Breast augmentation provides meaningful aesthetic and proportional improvements, helping you feel more confident and comfortable in your shape. Key advantages include:
- Enhanced fullness and restored volume after aging, pregnancy, or weight changes
- Improved symmetry for a more balanced silhouette
- Better upper-pole contour and breast definition
- More flattering fit in clothing and swimwear
- Restored proportion between the breasts, waist, and hips
- Long-lasting, customizable results tailored to your goals
Types
Saline Implants
Saline implants are filled with a sterile saltwater solution, offering a customizable level of fullness and projection. Because they are inserted empty and filled once positioned, they allow for smaller incisions. Their structure provides a firmer feel, and in the rare event of a leak, the saline is safely absorbed by the body. Many patients appreciate the adjustability and straightforward monitoring of saline implants.
Silicone Implants
Silicone implants are pre-filled with a cohesive silicone gel that closely mimics the softness and movement of breast tissue. They are especially beneficial for women seeking a more realistic texture and natural-looking contour. Modern silicone implants are designed to maintain their shape, even if compromised, which offers a smooth or structured feel depending on the type chosen. However, that also means a routine MRI is required to detect potential ruptures.
Candidates
Breast augmentation is suited for women who want fuller, more balanced breasts and have the anatomical qualifications needed for safe, successful surgery. You may be an ideal candidate if:
- You feel your breasts are naturally small or lack the desired fullness
- You have volume loss after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes
- You notice asymmetry affecting your proportions or confidence
- You want a more defined breast shape or upper-pole contour
- You are in good overall health without uncontrolled medical conditions
- You are a non-smoker or willing to stop smoking before and after surgery
- You have realistic expectations about achievable results and recovery
- You are cleared for elective surgery, with no active infections or bleeding disorders
Consultation
During your breast augmentation consultation, you and Dr. Ahmadi will discuss your goals, concerns, and the specific changes you want to see in your breast shape, size, and symmetry. You’ll review your medical history, including prior surgeries and medications, as well as your overall health, to ensure you’re a safe candidate for surgery. Dr. Ahmadi will examine your breast anatomy, including tissue quality and chest-wall dimensions, to guide your options. You’ll then explore implant types, profiles, and placement techniques, with the chance to preview potential outcomes using sizing tools or digital imaging. Dr. Ahmadi will explain incision locations, expected recovery times, and realistic results, so you know exactly what to expect. By the end, you’ll have a fully personalized treatment plan tailored to your goals.
Procedure
Your breast augmentation procedure begins with anesthesia to keep you fully comfortable. Dr. Ahmadi makes a small, strategically placed incision, typically in the inframammary fold, where the breast meets the chest. He carefully separates the natural breast tissues to create a precise “pocket,” either under the pectoralis major muscle (submuscular) or directly behind the breast gland (subglandular). This pocket is engineered to control implant position, reduce movement, and support long-term symmetry. After the pocket is shaped, your implant is inserted using sterile, no-touch techniques to reduce contamination and protect the implant shell. Dr. Ahmadi adjusts its height, center point, and projection, checking both sides while you’re lying flat and semi-upright to ensure even, natural contours. Once finalized, he closes the incisions in layered sutures to minimize tension and scarring, then applies dressings and a supportive garment for initial healing.
Recovery
Your recovery begins immediately after surgery, when you’ll experience side effects like swelling, tightness, mild bruising, and temporary changes in breast sensation. You’ll need to rest for the first few days, avoid lifting your arms overhead, and take prescribed medications. Most patients return to light activities within a week, but avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for several weeks to protect the healing tissues and implant pocket. You’ll wear a supportive surgical bra to minimize swelling and stabilize the implants. Dr. Ahmadi will provide detailed aftercare instructions, including how to sleep, when to shower, and how to care for your incisions. You’ll also attend follow-up visits so he can monitor healing, assess implant position, and guide you through each phase of your recovery timeline.
Results
You’ll notice an immediate change in your breast size and shape, but your final results develop gradually as swelling decreases and the implants settle into their natural position over the first few months. Your outcome typically stabilizes by three to six months. With proper care and routine monitoring, breast augmentation results are long-lasting. While implants are not considered lifetime devices, many patients enjoy their outcomes for well over a decade.
