Implants can more dramatically transform the breast and especially increase the upper pole volume, while fat grafting is a more subtle volume enhancement.

If you are considering breast augmentation, Dr. Karishma Reddy, our board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in breast surgery, can help you achieve your desired results with a personalized approach and attention to detail.

What are the Benefits and Expected Outcomes of Breast Augmentation?

Dr. Reddy will discuss your individual goals for breast augmentation and tailor a plan to achieve them. During your consultation, we will try on various implants to help you understand what volume and projection implant matches your breast goals.

Here are some of the potential benefits you can experience:

  • Increased breast size and fullness
  • Improved breast symmetry
  • Enhanced cleavage
  • Boosted self-esteem and body image

The expected outcomes are just as rewarding. Many women report high satisfaction with their results, enjoying a newfound confidence and improved body image.

What is the Recovery Process Like, and What Can I Expect Post-Surgery?

Dr. Reddy and her team will guide you through every step of the recovery process, ensuring your comfort and well-being.

  • You will experience some initial pain, swelling, and bruising, which is normal.
  • Pain medication and specific care instructions will be provided to manage your recovery.
  • You should plan to take 3 to 5 days off of work to recover from surgery.
  • We will ask you not to exercise or lift anything over 10 pounds for 4 weeks after surgery.
  • Do not plan to submerge in any bath, pool, ocean, or hot tub water for 4 weeks after surgery.
  • Follow-up appointments with Dr. Reddy will be scheduled to monitor your healing progress.

Am I a good candidate for Breast Augmentation?

If you are in good general health, have realistic expectations, and desire to enhance your breast size or shape, you may be a good candidate for breast augmentation.

Other criteria for being a good breast augmentation candidate include:

  • Have fully developed breasts
  • Be a non-smoker or willing to quit smoking before and after the surgery
  • Not have loose or sagging breasts/low nipple position (you may be a better candidate for a lift in addition to your implants)
  • Be mentally and emotionally prepared for the procedure and recovery process

To determine if breast augmentation is right for you, schedule a consultation with Dr. Reddy at Reddy Plastic Surgery.

Dr. Reddy, with her expertise in breast aesthetics, will carefully assess your needs and goals to create a personalized surgical plan that delivers the beautiful and natural-looking results you desire.
