Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is the most popular plastic surgery procedure today. This cosmetic surgery procedure is designed to enhance breast size and shape, providing aesthetic improvement and addressing individual goals. Thankfully, cutting-edge surgical techniques can now help us increase your breast size without making you look unnatural. At SkinMD, our very talented, board-certified plastic surgeons are ready to give you the look you want and support you on your journey to looking, feeling, and being your best.

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation involves enlarging breast size naturally while also addressing breast asymmetry and eliminating any unevenness. Individuals who choose to undergo breast augmentation often seek to address concerns such as breast, size, symmetry and sagginess. If you’ve had significant weight loss, normal aging or childbirth with breast feeding that led to undesirable changes in your breast tissue, this procedure can help to correct those problem areas.

While breast augmentation can improve mild sagging, significant sagging breasts may require a breast lift for optimal results. Above all, breast augmentation can significantly boost self-confidence and give you the body that you have always dreamed of. Let our expert plastic surgeons show you what is possible for you.

What Are the Benefits of Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation surgery offers a range of benefits for women seeking to increase their breast size and overall body appearance. This procedure can give you:

• • Larger breasts
  • Breast symmetry
  • Restore breast volume due to factors like weight loss, pregnancy, breast feeding, or normal aging

Breast implants can enhance body proportions and self-image by providing a fuller, perkier, and more aesthetically pleasing contour.

By achieving a more balanced figure with fuller, lifted breasts, augmentation can enhance self-esteem and body confidence. The surgery provides personalized options in terms of implant type, size, and placement, allowing you to achieve the specific look you desire.

The Importance of a Breast Augmentation Consultation

A breast augmentation consultation is the essential first step on your journey to achieving your ideal breast size and shape. During this personalized meeting, you’ll sit down with our highly experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your goals, preferences, and any concerns you may have about breast augmentation surgery. Your surgeon will review your medical history and carefully examine your breast tissue, assessing factors such as breast size, shape, and symmetry to help determine the best approach and best sizing for your breast augmentation procedure.

This is the perfect opportunity to explore the type and size of your implants, and what your final results will look like.

The consultation will also cover important details about the surgical procedure itself. Your surgeon will explain the different incision locations, such as the inframammary fold (under the breast), periareolar (around the nipple), or transaxillary (in the armpit), and discuss the pros and cons of each option. You’ll also talk about implant placement, whether under the pectoral muscle (submuscular), over the muscle (subglandular), or a dual-plane approach, and how each technique can affect your final breast shape and recovery.

It’s natural to have questions about potential risks, such as breast implant illness, capsular contracture, or the possibility of breast implant rupture. Your surgeon will address these concerns openly, providing you with the latest information on safety, monitoring, and what to expect if complications arise. You’ll also receive a clear overview of the recovery process, including expected downtime, pain management, and how to care for your incisions to minimize breast augmentation scars.

Skin MD has a beautiful atmosphere, friendly staff, affordable pricing, and any treatment your skin needs. I received the Venus Legacy treatment (a collagen-boosting treatment) from Shannon and had a wonderful experience. Not only was it like a warm massage for my face, but this treatment gave IMMEDIATE plumping, increased blood circulation, and made my skin glow! I will definitely be coming back for all my skin needs and medical-grade skin care. I recommend it to everyone!

~ Skyla M.

The staff are so welcoming and comforting. They take time to listen to your needs and they do not pressure you into doing anything you don't want to do. They also take time to explain the process and their decision making to you so that you have all the facts.

~ Lauren M.

Friendly, fast, and professional service at the highest quality. Really impressed with the results of their services, and my technician is very knowledgeable and helpful when I have any questions. They made sure I was fully educated on the services I received and perform check-ins to ensure my skin heals properly. Also, the most convenient location in Back Bay!

~ Jules B.

I cannot say enough great things about this SkinMD. The staff was amazing, and their services are amazing. I am so, so happy with how my nose came out, and I am now a lifetime customer of SkinMD and will be recommending SkinMD to everyone I know.

Breast Augmentation FAQs

• How do I choose the right implant size and type?

  This depends on you. Choosing the right implant involves a combination of your personal aesthetic goals, body proportions, and lifestyle. During your consultation, SkinMD’s expert providers use detailed measurements to help you visualize results and select the option that best suits your frame.

• Can breast augmentation address asymmetry?

  Yes.

• How long does the recovery process take?

  Most patients can return to light activities within a week, but full recovery, including resuming strenuous exercise, typically takes 4–6 weeks. Your plastic surgeon will give you personalized guidance to ensure safe healing.

• Will I still be able to breastfeed after augmentation?

  In most cases, breast augmentation does not interfere with breastfeeding, especially when implants are placed under the muscle. Your surgeon will discuss options to preserve future breastfeeding if this is important to you.

• How long do breast implants last, and will I need future surgeries?

  While modern implants are designed to be durable, they are not considered lifetime devices. Many patients enjoy 10–20 years of results, but routine monitoring and potential replacement may be needed depending on age, implant type, and changes in your body over time.
