Breast augmentation is a safe procedure involving either the traditional route of receiving breast implants or breast fat grafting, which transfers fat from unwanted areas of the body to your breasts. 

Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure. Many of our patients have surgery on Friday and can return to work on Monday.

We use a long-acting local anesthetic during all breast surgeries that lasts for  three days after your surgery. This medication helps reduce narcotic use, making you comfortable without being nauseous, groggy, or constipated. 

With breast augmentation, there are many sizes and considerations. When picking the size of your implant, the implant must fit your body type.

Unless you have an identical twin, no two patients will have the same anatomy, so we will take measurements to ensure the most natural-appearing results that fit your body and achieve your aesthetic goals.

If you are getting breast augmentation with breast implants, the implant will be placed behind the chest muscle in most cases. There are a few exceptions where the breast implant is placed over the chest muscle due to the activity level you may enjoy. 

At NorCal Plastic Surgery, we use gummy bear implants, which are smooth, round implants that will enhance the appearance of your natural breast, safely. They are among the safest and most commonly used implants for breast augmentation. 

Different types of breast augmentation

Breast augmentation can also be achieved with breast fat grafting, which uses liposuction to collect the fat and then small cannulae to graft the fat into the breasts.

Many women also combine breast augmentation with a breast lift, which can help improve breast sagging.

How long does a breast augmentation take?

The length of your breast augmentation depends on the details of your procedure. A breast augmentation with implants, a breast augmentation with a lift, a breast augmentation revision, or breast augmentation with fat grafting are each different procedures.

You can expect a breast augmentation to take 1-3 hours. Dr. Rankin will give you a more accurate time when he discusses your procedure with you.

Is it safe?

Your NorCal Plastic Surgery team is committed to safety in all aspects of treatment.

We combine surgical expertise and the most advanced techniques – in conjunction with a state-of-the art surgical center and board-certified anesthesiologists – to ensure the safest environment, which helps produce the best results and minimize recovery for all patients

Keep in mind that breast implants do not cause breast cancer or any other systemic diseases. Numerous studies have shown no difference in survival between augmented and non-augmented patients with breast cancer. Studies have also shown you may continue your recommended breast cancer screening with mammograms or any other technology recommended by your primary care physician.

Is there any scarring?

There a few options for placement of the incision, such as under the armpit, along the border of the areola, and under the breast. During your initial consultation, we will determine implant placement and incision type.

Dr. Rankin will work with you to find the best balance to minimize scarring and maximize aesthetics

Healthy women desiring larger breasts with more cleavage are good candidates for breast augmentation.

We recommend three months between breastfeeding and breast augmentation surgery. However, after a breast augmentation, you can still breastfeed.

The implant is placed behind the chest muscle in most cases, with few exceptions, though some candidates may require another technique.

A Breast Augmentation can cost as little as $354/mo, when financed. For qualified applicants, you can obtain interest-free financing over 24 months. Terms and conditions apply. Please fill out the form on this page to learn more about your options.

The total cost for a Breast Augmentation with silicone implants will often cost between $8.5-13k, while a Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation often costs $11-13k. However, both can vary depending on your specific goals.

Recovery from breast augmentation can take four to six weeks.

First 2 weeks: we recommend only doing low-stress activities, such as short walks and regular household activities. At two-weeks post op, we recommend you begin some low impact cardio like exercising with an elliptical or stair master, or hiking if you prefer being outdoors.

After 4 weeks: you can begin to reintroduce resistance training with no chest exercises. For breast augmentation patients, we recommend no chest exercises until about eight to twelve weeks after surgery to ensure that the precise location of the implant does not shift in an unwanted direction. 

If you are preparing for an event, we recommend having your breast augmentation no less than 8-12 weeks before the event to ensure proper garment sizing and total activity.

You will see a difference immediately after your procedure.

Swelling can take a few months to resolve, letting you fully appreciate your results. Your breasts will have a more desirable size, shape and position.
