Breast Augmentation Explained

Breast Augmentation is a popular surgical procedure that uses saline or silicone implants, and sometimes fat transfers from other parts of the body, to enhance or restore the size, shape, volume, and symmetry of the breasts.

Our skilled plastic surgeons have undergone rigorous training and performed thousands of breast augmentation procedures. More importantly, we tailor our approach to each patient, working closely with you to achieve a bust that looks and feels natural. Fort Worth plastic surgeons, Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell, rely on advanced surgical techniques and the most innovative implant materials to methodically shape your breasts and deliver the precise look you envision.

Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell’s approach to breast augmentation in Fort Worth always starts with a consultation. We discuss your desired outcomes, assess your anatomy, and recommend the best implant options. Several factors must be considered for a successful procedure, and you and your doctor will agree on the best course of action before surgery. During surgery, incisions are made in inconspicuous locations to minimize visible scarring. The implants are then carefully placed either under or over the chest muscle, depending on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Is There a Difference Between Breast Augmentation and Breast Implant Surgery?

Throughout your research on breast augmentation in Fort Worth, you likely came across another term called breast implant surgery. While these may sound like different procedures at first glance, especially when considering how often they are used in various articles, studies, and online conversations, the reality is that they are interchangeable terms. There is no difference.

Breast augmentation and breast implant surgery mean the same thing: surgically inserting implants or transferring fat into one or both breasts. It should be noted that breast augmentation isn’t just about placing implants and stopping there. Your bust is artfully shaped and contoured during surgery to ensure its size, symmetry, and overall appearance appear as natural as possible. This may include manually adjusting implant placement, refining the pocket where the implant is situated, or reshaping the surrounding tissue.

Why Do Most Women Choose To Have Breast Augmentation?

The reasons for breast augmentation vary from patient to patient and certainly run the gamut.

Then there are those who see breast augmentation in Fort Worth as an effective way to combat the signs of aging. Breast augmentation can restore lost volume or enhance naturally small breasts, resulting in a fuller, more proportionate figure.

To Look Better Naked 91%

Breast Augmentation FAQs

What Should I Do To Prepare for Breast Augmentation?

We understand that you may be experiencing some anxiety about breast augmentation. This is entirely normal, and to alleviate any concerns, we focus on education and compassionate understanding of your goals and vision.

Before surgery, you will be asked to:

  • Obtain a baseline mammogram
  • Begin taking certain medications or adjust current medications
  • Undergo lab testing
  • Quit smoking

How Long Does a Breast Augmentation Procedure Take?

It is difficult to say exactly how long your breast augmentation surgery will take, as each procedure is treated differently. That said, the typical breast augmentation procedure in Fort Worth takes roughly one to two hours. The surgeon will then dress and close the skin with internal dissolvable sutures and apply steri strips on the outside, which will be removed at your follow-up.

What Is Breast Augmentation Like During Surgery? Is it Painful?

  • You won’t feel any pain or discomfort.
  • Our goal is to create a comfortable experience.
  • You can expect a safe experience.

Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell perform hundreds of breast augmentation surgeries each year. Our practices, including administering anesthesia, are quick, simple, and safe. You will feel no pain, and your ultimate comfort is our top priority every step of the way.

What Should I Expect With Breast Augmentation Recovery?

Recovery time varies from patient to patient, but most individuals can resume light activities within a few days. Full recovery and return to all normal activities usually occur within four to six weeks. Breast augmentation results are immediate and continue to improve as swelling subsides, revealing a more contoured and enhanced breast shape.

Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell will provide detailed instructions that strike a balance between best practices and subtle adjustments tailored to your unique circumstances. We will discuss how to care for your breasts moving forward, including:

  • Wearing supportive recovery garments and bras
  • Caring for your incisions and changing dressings as needed
  • Managing discomfort with prescribed pain relief and antibiotics
  • Incorporating light walking and gentle movement to aid healing
  • Learning to rest comfortably while sleeping on your back

How Long Will the Results Last? Will I Need To Replace My Breast Implants in the Future?

Ever-evolving technology has led to increased durability of breast implants, though they should never be considered lifetime devices.  Generally speaking, breast implants last for 10 to 20 years before needing to be replaced. Your plastic surgeon should describe the materials they are using, the typical lifespan of these devices (including proper care strategies), and the expected results. They should also discuss any warranties and what you can expect in the long term.

Are There Any Risks Involved in Choosing Breast Implants?

There is always a risk associated with any surgical procedure. To ensure beautiful and long-lasting results, it is essential to choose a plastic surgeon with a proven track record. Experience matters when it comes to breast augmentation procedures. Don’t be afraid to ask how often your surgeon performs these procedures, how long they’ve been doing it, and what the typical outcomes are. They should want to answer this question rather than hide behind general or shady responses. They should also be open to showing you transformation photos from their clients.

Other Things to Consider Before Getting a Breast Augmentation

Implant Types: Which Is Best for My Breast Augmentation?

Silicone Breast Implants

These implants feature a silicone shell that is pre-filled with silicone gel before surgery. It is the specialized gel inside that mimics the feel and bounciness of natural breast tissue.

Saline Breast Implants

Rather than a silicone gel, saline breast implants are pre-filled with a sterile saltwater solution before surgery and implanted under the breast tissue. There is a noticeably firmer feel to these implants, and they are ideal for women who already have a good amount of breast tissue. Should an implant rupture, the saline solution is easily absorbed into the body.

Gummy Bear Implants

Similar to silicone implants, these implants are filled with a higher cohesive gel that is thicker than traditional silicone breast implants. This allows the implant to maintain its shape longer without sacrificing the natural feel.

Fat Transfer

This is an alternative to implants, and the best way to describe it is to think in terms of liposuction: Your surgeon will harvest fat cells from your abdomen and flanks, remove non-fat fluids, and methodically inject them into your breasts. In doing so, the size and shape of your breasts naturally increase and can then be contoured in certain areas.

Is Getting Breast Implants Really Worth It?

Choosing breast augmentation is not an overnight decision. You must thoughtfully weigh the pros and cons on your own and be prepared to ask your board-certified plastic surgeon about anything that may still be keeping you up at night. Our patients at Clearfork Plastic Surgery say they love their results and wish they’d done it sooner!

Since 1997, the average breast size has increased from a 34B to a 36C, and 92% of women who had the procedure would recommend it to their friends because of its impact on self-esteem, body image, and sexual satisfaction.

Breast Augmentation vs. Breast Lift

As we said before, breast Augmentation is a popular surgical procedure that uses saline or silicone implants, and sometimes fat transfers from other parts of the body, to enhance or restore the size, shape, volume, and symmetry of the breasts.

A breast lift focuses on improving the position and tightness of the breasts. It does not increase the size of your breasts. That said, it is not uncommon to combine breast augmentation with a breast lift, thus achieving the full picture every woman dreams of: increased size, volume, and symmetry while also repositioning breasts and nipple areas that have sagged over the years.

Are There Any Other Alternatives to Achieve the Results I’m Looking for?

A few non-surgical alternatives for breast enhancement include all-natural breast-enhancing supplements, vacuum bras, external breast prostheses, and breast-firming creams. That said, these methods have yielded mixed results and are typically temporary. Breast augmentation is a safe, durable, and tailored procedure that creates a unique look and is long-lasting.

A successful breast augmentation surgery by Dr. Sanderson and Dr. Braswell will give lasting and permanent results for years to come. It is still good practice to plan regular post-op consultations, take care of your skin, avoid weight fluctuation, and wear proper support to help extend the life of your breast augmentation procedure.
