Get the Facts About Breast Enhancement

Sometimes called a “boob job,” breast augmentation is a serious surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breasts. It is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries performed in the U.S., chosen by women looking to add volume, improve symmetry, or restore fullness lost due to weight loss, pregnancy, or aging.

At Westside Plastic Surgery, you’ll have a range of choices to customize your breast augmentation to fit your needs and goals. During your consultation, Dr. Goggin will walk you through the options and help determine the best approach for your body and desired outcome.

Implant Types:

Silicone Implants

Silicone implants are filled with a cohesive gel that feels more like natural breast tissue. These implants offer a softer, natural appearance and are particularly popular for women who desire a more natural feel. Most silicone implants today are considered “Gummy bear” implants as they are form-stable implants that retain their shape even if the shell is broken. Gummy bear implants provide a natural look, with a lower risk of rippling.

Saline Implants

Filled with sterile saltwater, saline implants are typically inserted empty and filled after being placed in the breast. They are a great option for those looking for an augmented look, and they come with the added benefit of easy size adjustments during surgery.

Incision Placement

  • Inframammary: This incision is made in the fold under the breast, allowing the surgeon to hide the scar while providing excellent access for implant placement.
  • Periareolar:  An incision is made around the lower half of the areola, where the darker skin helps camouflage any scarring.
  • Transaxillary: This option places the incision in the armpit, leaving the breast free of scars. This approach may limit the size and type of implant used.

Implant Placement

  • Subglandular: The implant is placed above the chest muscle, directly behind the breast tissue. This option typically results in a shorter recovery period but may not be the best choice for women with very little natural breast tissue.
  • Submuscular: The implant is placed under the chest muscle. This approach often results in a more natural appearance and minimizes rippling risks and scar tissue formation.

How Breast Augmentation Surgery Is Performed

Breast augmentation surgery in Fort Worth at Westside Plastic Surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes about 1 hr. Dr. Goggin will make precise incisions, strategically placing the implants to achieve the most natural, balanced result possible. Once the implants are inserted, the incisions are closed with layers of sutures to minimize scarring.

What to Expect During Recovery

After breast augmentation, patients go home the same day. You will be provided with a supportive post-surgical bra to minimize swelling and support your breasts during the healing process. 
Some swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal and should subside within the first week. Pain medication may be prescribed to manage any discomfort.

Your Recovery Timeline:

  • 24 hour breast augmentation recovery utilizes surgical technique and post-op care to facilitate speedy recovery. Most patients describe tightness but minimal pain, and are able to return to normal activities fairly quickly. 
  • Week 1: Most patients are able to return to work during this period. You will need to take it easy, avoiding strenuous activities. You can expect to resume light activities within a few days.
  • Weeks 2–3:  heavy lifting and intense exercise should still be avoided.
  • 4–6 Weeks: By this time, you can typically return to your regular exercise routine and resume more physical activities.
  • Long-Term Results: Full results will be visible once the swelling subsides, typically within 3 to 6 months. Implants typically appear high, and then over 2-3 months settle into their pockets with a natural appearance.
