Breast Augmentation


Breast augmentation procedures are common procedures performed in our office. Typically patients come to our office in the spring so that they can be ready for swimwear in summer.

Selection of implant volume is normally determined by two factors. The first factor is how broad the base of the breast is. The second factor depends on the laxity of the breast tissue skin envelope. Many different breast volumes can accommodate various implant sizes.

Recovery from breast augmentation is variable. If patients can refrain from going to the gym for 4 weeks following surgery, that is best. Alternatively patients can rest for two weeks and then may resume light exercise such as stationary bicycle at two weeks after the procedure.
