What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation involves a surgical procedure focused on enhancing the size and shape of the breasts. This is typically achieved by placing implants either under the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle. Many people opt for breast augmentation in Atlanta to achieve a fuller bust, restore breast volume after weight loss or pregnancy, or improve symmetry between the breasts. In 2020, breast augmentation and reconstruction surgeries totaled over 300,000 in the United States alone, reflecting its widespread popularity and proven effectiveness. During your personalized consultation with Dr. Klein, you'll discuss various implant options, incision placements, and expected outcomes. This ensures that the procedure is tailored precisely to your unique preferences and goals, maximizing your satisfaction and confidence in the results.

How to choose the right type of breast implant?

More than likely, you’ve been considering breast augmentation surgery for a while, which means that you probably already know that your choice of implants is either silicone gel or saline. During your consultation for breast augmentation in Atlanta or Alpharetta office, we will thoroughly explain your options to help you make a more informed decision. Generally, however, most patients believe that silicone gel implants have a more natural feel.

Among other benefits of gel implants is that rippling is not as likely to occur, most come with a lifetime guarantee, and the new gummy bear implants do not leak. Although silicone gel implants are extremely popular, saline breast implants offer their own advantages. First, because saline implants are not pre-filled, they can be customized while being placed. Second, if your implants do leak or rupture, saline is safely absorbed by your body. Thirdly, and finally, saline implants are slightly less expensive than silicone gel implants.

Types of Breast Implants

At Northside Plastic Surgery, we offer a few different types and brands of breast implants our patients can choose from: Mentor MemoryGel, Sientra OPUS, Allergan Natrelle, and Ideal Implants.

What can I expect from my breast augmentation recovery?

Our breast augmentation procedures are performed on an outpatient basis using general anesthesia. Most surgeries are completed in one hour, and most women can return to their normal activities (with certain restrictions) after a few days. You should expect to reduce any strenuous activity for two or three weeks after surgery. This reduction in activity includes exercising and lifting heavy objects. Generally, after four weeks, most people will be able to return to normal levels of activity.
