Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation refers to a surgical procedure that involves reshaping and resizing the breasts. This is generally by placing implants behind each breast. Breast augmentation is clinically called augmentation mammoplasty.
It is usually performed for aesthetic purposes, whether to restore balance to asymmetrical breasts, add volume to small breasts, or create a more voluptuous appearance. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Graham provides breast augmentation surgery to patients in Rochester, NY, and surrounding locations.
Customizable Procedure
One of the major reasons behind the popularity of breast enhancement procedure is that it can be readily customized for meeting specific goals. These are some of the key options you would have:
- Type of Breast Implants: patients can currently choose from saline-filled implants, silicone gel-filled implants, and ultra-cohesive, form-stable silicone gel-filled (gummy-bear) implants.
- Placement of Breast Implant: Implants can be placed by making pockets in front of the pectoral muscle or beneath the pectoral muscle (submuscular placement method), behind the breast tissue (submammary or subglandular placement method).
- Incision Location: Breast implants can be inserted by making inframammary incisions (incisions that are right at the base of the breasts), transaxillary incisions (in the armpit), or periareolar incisions (border of the areola’s lower half). Few plastic surgeons insert implants through the transumbilical or TUBA incision (through the navel). Although, this is a less commonly used method than the others.
- Other Choices: Patients can also choose from a wide array of breast implant profile, shape, size, and texture.
Purpose of Breast Augmentation Surgery
Here are a few common reasons why women undergo breast implant cosmetic surgery:
- Making the breasts more proportionate to the rest of the body
- Feeling more attractive and feminine
- Improving symmetry between differently shaped and sized breasts
- Restoring volume to breasts following weight loss, pregnancy, and breastfeeding
- Correcting congenital deformities in either of the breasts
- Improving body image and boosting confidence
- Adding volume to breasts that did not fully develop after puberty because of micromastia
Overview of the Surgical Procedure
Incision Placement
Breast augmentation procedure begins with making an incision in the navel (TUBA), the armpit (transaxillary), the breast (inframammary), or the areola (periareolar). Incision location is decided as per the patient’s needs. Your surgeon will take your unique anatomy and aesthetic wishes into consideration while recommending the best incision technique.
Implants Placement
Submuscular breast implant placement (implant is positioned under the pectoral muscle) and subglandular breast implant placement (implant is positioned directly behind the breast tissue in front of the pectoral muscle) are two main methods of inserting implants.
You should discuss both these options in detail with the surgeon and arrive at a decision based on your particular body type and preference. The incision is carefully closed using sutures after placing the implants.
Recovery After Breast Implants Surgery
You should be able to return to work within a week if your job doesn’t involve heavy or strenuous physical activity. Full recovery may take up four weeks when you might be able to resume your regular fitness regimen. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. David Graham receives patients from Rochester, NY, and nearby areas for breast augmentation surgery.

The experience and skill of a cosmetic surgeon is the single most important deciding factor that will influence the final results in any aesthetic procedure.

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Graham provides innovative and advanced plastic surgery procedures to patients in Rochester, NY, and surrounding communities.
Choose a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
It may seem obvious to work with a board-certified plastic surgeon. But, it’s critical that you verify whether the surgeon has all necessary credentials for effectively and safely performing the procedure. The American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) certifies only a limited number of cosmetic surgeons each year following a rigorous selection process.
Board certified plastic surgeons are known to invest in high quality standards and best medical practices. They pursue ongoing education, follow latest safety protocols, and adopt advanced surgical techniques.
Flexible Surgical Skills
You may find it beneficial working with a surgeon that has practice in various treatment and incision techniques. You should ask prospective surgeons about their ability and opinion in case you want them to perform the procedure using a specific technique.
Personalized Surgical Plan
You should select a surgeon that is able and willing to personalize the cosmetic surgery as per your needs. The surgeon should not adopt a one size fits all approach to the procedure. Plastic surgery should have a customized plan since everyone’s body is unique. You should find a surgeon that is ready to take these concerns into account.
Deciding the treatments and surgeries you require is a collaborative process. The plastic surgeon should actively involve you in the process of creating a surgical plan that is an ideal fit for you.
Fee Charged by the Surgeon
It is always helpful to know what the procedure is going to cost even though you should always prioritize getting the treatment from an experienced and qualified surgeon. You can make a better decision when you have an approximate estimate or price range.
Testimonials and Images
Past successes are one of the best indicators of a surgeon’s work quality. Looking at before and after images and reading testimonials related to the procedure will give you an insight into the kind of results to expect.
Success Rate
You should check the success rate for your specific surgery. The plastic surgeon will be able to give you a patient satisfaction rate if the surgery is performed by them regularly.
Handling Complications
It is possible for a plastic surgery to not go as planned despite your surgeon’s experience. The surgeon should have a system in place for treating complications and handling unsatisfied clients.
Hospital Privileges
Your surgeon may have hospital privileges or operating rooms at their practice. The surgical venue can impact the quality of care, techniques used, and the cost of procedure. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. David Graham receives patients from Rochester, NY, and nearby areas for dependable and proven plastic surgery procedures.
