What to Expect With Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation surgery starts with an incision, typically under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit, to hide the scar. The breast augmentation surgeon then creates a pocket for the breast implants, either behind the breast tissue (prepectoral) or behind the chest muscle (subpectoral). Your customized patient assessment, implant type, and desired outcomes determine implant location.

Your overall results will depend on the breast augmentation surgeon you work with. Harris Plastic Surgery offers a concierge-style trUfit experience to make sure our patients always get the results they desire.

Breast augmentation is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia.  A long-acting local anesthetic is also used to allow for faster postoperative recovery, avoiding the need for any narcotic pain medications.
