What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure intended to improve the shape and size of your breasts. Customized breast implants can enhance breast volume, restore symmetry, or enhance overall breast appearance, contributing to increased self-confidence and a positive body image. At Athēnix, our surgeons customize each breast augmentation procedure to fit your individual anatomy.

Who is a Candidate for Breast Augmentation in Phoenix?

Individuals considering breast augmentation often have one or more of the following concerns:

  • Small breast size
  • Desire for improved proportions
  • Difficulty fitting into clothing
  • Loss of breast volume after weight loss
  • Changes post-breastfeeding
  • Breast asymmetry
  • Desire for a more youthful appearance
  • Unusual breast shape
  • Sagging or deflated breasts
  • Dissatisfaction with previous breast implants in terms of size or shape

How Liposuction Works Choose Your Enhancement

At Athēnix, our plastic surgeons employ expert surgical techniques in their approach to breast augmentation. Both silicone and saline implants consist of an outer silicone shell, each providing a slightly different texture and feel. Our surgeons meticulously select the ideal size, shape, type, and placement of implants to achieve a youthful, full, and natural-looking outcome. Fat transfer offers a more subtle enhancement with a natural look and feel.

Silicone Implants

Silicone implants are prefilled with a special silicone gel that aims to mimic the natural feel of human fat, producing a texture closely resembling natural breast tissue. At Athēnix, our surgeons utilize FDA-approved Natrelle® and Sientra® implants, which come in various sizes and shapes and automatically enroll you in a complimentary warranty program, providing reassurance about the safety and durability of your implants.

Natural Fat Transfer

The natural fat transfer for breast augmentation entails using liposuction to extract excess fat from areas like the thighs or abdomen and transferring it to the breasts. This approach provides a more natural appearance and sensation than implants, without the risk of implant rupture or rejection. It serves as a dual-purpose procedure, enhancing the breasts while sculpting another area of the body.

Saline Implants

Saline breast implants are filled with sterile saltwater, providing a versatile and adaptable choice for breast augmentation. They are available pre-filled or can be filled during the surgery, allowing for easier size adjustments. In the event of a rupture, the body safely absorbs the saline. These implants are FDA-approved and suitable for women aged 18 years or older.

Breast Augmentation Implant Placement

The placement of implants is a crucial factor in the breast augmentation procedure. The surgeon positions them in a surgically created "pocket" either beneath the muscles between your breast tissue and the chest wall or underneath the breast tissue above the muscle. Our surgeons will evaluate your goals and body type to determine the most suitable technique.

Submuscular Placement

Submuscular implants are positioned beneath the pectoral muscle, protecting the implant. For individuals with thin breast tissue, submuscular placement may be preferable. This placement often leads to breast implants being situated higher than those placed over the muscle and can maintain their position for an extended period without concerns about sagging or drooping.

Submammary Placement

Submammary placement situates breast implants beneath the breast tissue but above the chest muscle, often preferred for individuals with ample breast tissue and those seeking a faster, less invasive recovery. This technique typically yields a more natural breast shape and movement due to the implants being closer to the natural breast tissue and may facilitate easier future breast revision surgeries.

Breast Implant Incision Options

Our doctors will dedicate time to discussing the most suitable incision options based on the placement of the implant above or below the chest muscle, the size of the implant, and the type of implant used. Please consider this among your choices for breast augmentation in Phoenix.

Inframammary Incision

The inframammary technique is widely used and entails placing the implant under the breast through the skin fold where the breast and chest meet. This approach minimizes visible scarring while standing, as the breast tissue covers the incision.

Transumbilical Incision

This method entails inserting the breast implant through an incision in the navel and then adjusting it in the breast pocket. No incisions are made in the breast; however, this option is only suitable for certain types of saline implants.

Transaxillary Incision

The transaxillary method involves inserting implants through an incision in the upper breast adjacent to the fold of the armpit. The resulting incision is nearly invisible, even when the arm is raised.

Periareolar Incision

The periareolar technique involves making incisions around the areola, resulting in minimal visible scarring. This method is typically used when implants are placed over the chest muscle.

Your Breast Augmentation Recovery Process

Immediately After Surgery

Following your breast augmentation in Phoenix, you will receive a specialized surgical bra to offer support and help minimize swelling.

That Day

Anticipate feeling a bit groggy as the effects of the anesthesia diminish. Taking a light shower 48 hours after the surgery may be feasible.

Following Days

Engage in brief walks to encourage mobility, which can help prevent blood clots and complications. Strive to stand up at least five times a day.

One Week Post-Op

You can remove the soft compression band. While most patients can return to work, those with physically demanding jobs may need extra recovery time.

Two Weeks

Bruising and swelling are expected to decrease, and over-the-counter pain relief can provide relief. By this time, patients should have a good sense of their results.

Six Weeks

The muscles in your upper body have had ample time to heal, permitting a gradual resumption of exercise. It is advisable to avoid chest-related exercises such as bench presses and push-ups.

Three Months

You will observe the ultimate outcome of your breast augmentation, with reduced swelling, healed tissues, and fading scars.

Six Months

Your new breasts have fully settled and present a natural, beautiful appearance. The journey to achieving beautiful, natural-looking breasts doesn't conclude with the surgery; it is an ongoing process that involves recovery and building self-confidence.
