What Is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that increases the size of a woman’s breasts using silicone or saline implants. Dr. Flint prioritizes techniques that create natural-looking breast augmentations, using easily hidden incisions and implant sizes that are appropriate for your frame and the quality of your tissues. Utilizing appropriately sized implants provides longer-lasting, more satisfying results.
The following are common options for customization, which Dr. Flint will thoroughly discuss with you during your consultation so you can achieve the look you want.
Implant Material & Placement
There are many areas of customization in breast augmentation, each affecting the final aesthetic result.
One option is the implant material: silicone or saline. Dr. Flint prefers to use silicone breast implants for her patients, as they dramatically decrease some common risks associated with saline implants, such as visible rippling and implant malposition over time. Silicone breast implants are favored for their close imitation of the look and texture of natural breast tissue and for contributing to a more natural-appearing surgical result.
Another option is implant placement, which many patients aren’t as aware of, though it plays a significant role in the final result. Dr. Flint opts for submuscular placement of the breast implants, which provides better implant coverage with less possibility of feeling the implant or seeing rippling. Implants placed on top of the muscle tend to stretch the skin over time, accelerating breast droop, and can interfere with mammogram interpretation.
Breast Augmentation Incision Type
The incision is another area of customization, though it depends in part on the size of the implants and the techniques your surgeon uses. The most popular breast augmentation incision type, and the one Dr. Flint prefers, is the inframammary incision. This incision type runs horizontally underneath the bottom of the breast in the crease where the breast meets the ribcage. She uses a small two-inch incision to accommodate the implants and achieve the most precise positioning. Any subsequent scarring typically heals well and is obscured by bras, swimsuits, and the breasts themselves.
Benefits of a Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation provides many benefits beyond just increasing the size of the breasts, including:
- Improving body proportions
- Restoring volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
- Improving symmetry for breasts of uneven sizes
- Increasing cleavage and upper pole fullness
- Increasing clothing options
- Boosting self-confidence
Today, breast augmentation is about more than increasing cup size. Women of all ages and lifestyles seek this procedure as a way to customize and enhance their breasts to their unique specifications. By curating their aesthetic, they feel more confident and at home in their bodies, no matter what they are wearing.
Who Is an Ideal Candidate for a Breast Augmentation?
Patient safety is a major priority for Dr. Flint, and that begins with ensuring you are an ideal candidate for this procedure. In addition to seeking enhancement of their breasts, ideal breast augmentation patients undergo a thorough screening and consultation to confirm they are healthy enough for surgery. Breast augmentation patients should:
- Be in good health
- Not smoke or be willing to quit
- Want to enhance their breasts with implants
- Have reasonable expectations for results
The best way to determine if you are a good candidate for breast augmentation is to schedule a consultation with Dr. Flint. She will review your medical history and discuss the risks and benefits of this procedure to ensure you are a good match and that it will deliver the results you’re looking for.

How Breast Augmentation Is Performed
Your Breast Augmentation Consultation
During your initial consultation, Dr. Flint will walk you through the potential risks and benefits of breast augmentation. While this seems like a simple procedure, there is significant variation from patient to patient, so these consultations are especially important for determining exactly what you want from the procedure. Dr. Flint will listen to your goals, show you before and after images, and discuss available customization options, including implant material, size, projection, and placement.
Be sure to use your consultation to ask any questions you have about the procedure steps, results, and recovery. Dr. Flint will be honest with you about the potential and limitations of breast augmentation, so you can move forward with confidence. If you both decide this procedure is right for you, she will create a surgical plan and provide you with an accurate cost estimate.
What to Expect During Breast Augmentation Surgery
Breast augmentation is performed using general anesthesia, which is always administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist. Surgery is performed at Dr. Flint’s fully accredited, state-of-the-art surgical center. After surgery, you will be monitored in the recovery center for an hour while you awake from anesthesia.
To begin, Dr. Flint will make careful incisions along the inframammary line. Through these incisions, she will create a pocket under your chest wall muscle where the implants will go, ensuring precise placement. These steps will vary depending on whether you have combined your breast augmentation with another procedure, such as a breast lift. Once she is pleased with the results, Dr. Flint will carefully close the incisions with sutures.
Breast Augmentation Recovery & Aftercare
Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure, meaning you’ll be able to go home the same day. After about one hour of observation in the recovery suite, you will be discharged to the care of a friend or family member who will drive you home. You will also need someone to stay with you the first day or two of recovery, as you’ll be fatigued and have limited mobility.
Expect some bruising and swelling, which should peak around day three. Breast augmentation recovery usually requires about one week off from work. Discomfort is usually mild. Dr. Flint will provide you with custom recovery instructions; be sure to follow these carefully. Some guidelines may include:
- No bending or lifting for three weeks
- No strenuous activity, such as exercise, for three weeks, or until Dr. Flint clears you
- Wearing all surgical bras/support bras as directed by Dr. Flint
- Getting as much rest as possible, paired with light walking to reduce the risk of blood clots and promote healing
Be sure to call Dr. Flint if you have any questions about recovery or incorporating activities back into your schedule.
