What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation (mastopexy), often referred to as a “boob job” or breast enlargement, is a highly sought-after cosmetic surgical procedure designed to increase breast size and improve their overall shape.

Furthermore, under the expert care of Dr. Plano at our Plano practice, breast augmentation is a personalized solution that can help you achieve a more prominent bust, restore volume lost due to pregnancy or weight changes, improve natural breast symmetry, and ultimately, boost your confidence with a more harmonious body contour. Indeed, we specialize in tailoring each breast augmentation to meet your unique aesthetic goals, delivering beautiful and natural-looking results right here in Plano, TX.
What are the benefits of Breast Augmentation?
Choosing to undergo breast augmentation offers significant physical and emotional enhancements, particularly for those seeking to achieve a more confident and harmonious figure. This procedure primarily delivers enhanced volume and shape, allowing you to achieve a fuller, more youthful, and aesthetically pleasing bustline. Furthermore, for many, breast implants effectively restore lost fullness due to pregnancy, weight changes, or aging, rejuvenating the breasts and helping to regain a youthful contour. Additionally, breast augmentation can skillfully improve breast symmetry, creating a more balanced and harmonious look. Beyond the physical, patients often experience a profound boost in self-confidence and body positivity, feeling more comfortable and attractive in their daily lives and clothing choices. This confidence extends to wider clothing options, as a desired breast size and shape opens up new fashion possibilities. Ultimately, by adding volume and improving projection, breast augmentation provides a lifted, perkier appearance, contributing to a more youthful physique. At Renaissance Plastic Surgery, under the expert care of Dr. Plano, we focus on delivering beautiful and natural-looking results for breast augmentation right here in Plano, TX.
Who is an ideal candidate for Breast Augmentation?
An ideal candidate for breast augmentation is generally a healthy individual who does not smoke and maintains a stable weight. Typically, they seek to increase breast size, restore volume lost due to pregnancy or weight changes, or improve breast symmetry. Furthermore, it’s crucial for candidates to possess realistic expectations regarding the procedure’s outcomes and recovery. Additionally, individuals must be at least 18 years old for saline breast implants or 22 for silicone implants. During your consultation at Renaissance Plastic Surgery, Dr. Plano will thoroughly assess your suitability and discuss how breast augmentation can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
What are the different types of Breast Implants?
When considering breast augmentation in Plano, TX, patients will explore the primary types of breast implants available to achieve their desired aesthetic. The two main categories are saline breast implants, which consist of a silicone shell filled with sterile salt water during surgery, offering adjustable volume and immediate rupture detection. Alternatively, silicone breast implants feature a cohesive silicone gel (often referred to as “gummy bear” implants) pre-filled within a silicone shell, valued for their natural feel and look, closely mimicking natural breast tissue. Furthermore, both saline and silicone implants come in various shapes, including round or anatomical (teardrop), and surface textures like smooth or textured, each offering distinct advantages for different aesthetic goals. At Renaissance Plastic Surgery, Dr. Plano will thoroughly discuss these breast implant options during your consultation to help you choose the ideal type for your breast augmentation journey.
What size breast implant should I get?
Choosing the ideal breast implant size for your breast augmentation is a highly personal decision, not simply about achieving a specific cup size. Instead, the optimal breast implant size at Renaissance Plastic Surgery in Plano, TX, is determined by Dr. Plano during a personalized consultation, considering your unique body frame, existing breast tissue, and specific aesthetic goals for natural-looking results. Ultimately, this collaborative process ensures the chosen breast implants perfectly complement your physique and fulfill your desires for a beautiful, harmonious outcome.
What to expect when getting Breast Augmentation surgery?
When preparing for breast augmentation surgery at Renaissance Plastic Surgery in Plano, TX, expect a streamlined process focused on your comfort and safety, beginning with your comprehensive consultation with Dr. Plano. Following this initial meeting, his team will provide clear pre-operative instructions leading up to your surgery day. On the day of your breast implant procedure, performed under general anesthesia, incisions will be made, implants carefully placed, and closed. Immediately afterward, you’ll recover briefly before being discharged home, typically feeling some mild soreness and tightness. Detailed aftercare guidance will be provided, ensuring a smooth initial healing period and guiding you toward your follow-up appointment in Plano, TX.
How long does Breast Augmentation take?
The actual breast augmentation surgery itself at Renaissance Plastic Surgery in Plano, TX, typically takes approximately one to two hours to complete. However, this duration can vary slightly based on factors such as the chosen breast implant type (saline or silicone), the incision technique, and the specific placement (above or below the muscle). While the surgical procedure itself is relatively quick, patients should also account for pre-operative preparation and a brief recovery period in the facility immediately following surgery. Ultimately, Dr. Plano’s team will provide you with a precise timeline during your comprehensive consultation.
How long do results last after Breast Augmentation?
While breast augmentation provides significant and lasting enhancement, it’s important to understand that breast implants are not considered lifetime devices and the aesthetic results can evolve over time. Generally, modern breast implants are designed to be durable, often lasting anywhere from 10 to 20 years or more, though they may eventually require replacement due to rupture, capsular contracture, or simply a desire for a change in appearance. Furthermore, your natural breasts will continue to age and be affected by factors like gravity, weight fluctuations, and pregnancy, which can subtly alter the initial breast augmentation results. At Renaissance Plastic Surgery in Plano, TX, Dr. Plano emphasizes the importance of regular follow-up appointments to monitor your breast implants and address any changes, ensuring you maintain beautiful, harmonious results for as long as possible.
How long is the recovery time after Breast Augmentation?
Understanding the recovery time after breast augmentation is crucial for planning your procedure. While individual healing varies, most patients undergoing breast augmentation at Renaissance Plastic Surgery in Plano, TX, can expect an initial recovery period of one to two weeks. During this time, you’ll experience some soreness, swelling, and bruising, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Typically, patients can return to light, non-strenuous daily activities, including most desk jobs, within a few days to one week. However, Dr. Plano generally advises avoiding strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and upper body activities for approximately four to six weeks to ensure proper healing and optimal results. Full healing, where swelling completely subsides and breast implants fully settle into their final position, can take several months. Your personalized breast augmentation recovery plan and detailed instructions will be provided by our team in Plano, TX, guiding you through each stage of your healing process.

Frequently Asked Questions
Silicone breast implants are pre-filled with a cohesive gel that offers a very natural feel and appearance. In contrast, saline breast implants consist of a silicone shell filled with sterile salt water during surgery, which allows for adjustable volume and immediate detection of a rupture. Both are FDA-approved for breast augmentation, differing primarily in their feel, appearance, and how a rupture is identified.
The two primary shapes for breast implants are round and anatomical (often called teardrop or gummy bear). Round implants provide uniform fullness across the entire breast, creating a fuller, more “pushed up” look. Conversely, anatomical implants are shaped like a natural breast, being thinner at the top and gradually fuller towards the bottom, designed to offer a more subtle and natural-looking slope.
Breast implants can be placed in two primary positions: over the muscle (subglandular) or under the muscle (submuscular). Placement over the muscle is typically less invasive with a shorter recovery. Placement under the muscle offers more implant coverage, which can result in a more natural look, especially for thinner individuals, but may involve a slightly longer recovery. The ideal placement for breast augmentation is determined by factors like your natural breast tissue, body type, and aesthetic goals.
Yes, a breast lift (mastopexy) can frequently be performed simultaneously with breast augmentation. This combined procedure, often called augmentation-mastopexy, is ideal for individuals seeking to increase breast volume while also addressing sagging or drooping breasts, which often results from factors like pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. Performing both procedures together allows for a more comprehensive transformation in a single surgery.
Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, but they are designed to be very durable. While there isn’t a fixed “expiration date,” most implants are expected to last 10 to 20 years or more. However, replacement may be needed sooner due to personal preference, a change in aesthetic goals, or complications such as rupture or capsular contracture (scar tissue hardening). Regular check-ups with your surgeon are important to monitor implant integrity and address any concerns as they arise
Most individuals experience moderate discomfort, soreness, and tightness after breast augmentation, especially in the first few days. This can be effectively managed with prescribed pain medication. Discomfort typically subsides significantly within the first week, allowing for a gradual return to light activities.
For many, breast implants do not significantly impact the ability to breastfeed. However, various factors, including the incision type (e.g., around the areola) and implant placement, can potentially affect milk ducts or nipple sensation. It’s important to discuss your breastfeeding plans and concerns with your surgeon.
As with any surgical procedure, breast augmentation carries some potential risks. Common complications are generally minor and include temporary swelling, bruising, and changes in nipple sensation. More significant, though rare, complications can include infection, capsular contracture (scar tissue hardening around the implant), implant rupture, or asymmetry. A thorough consultation helps you understand all potential risks.
Most individuals can resume light, non-strenuous exercise, like walking, within a week or two after breast augmentation. However, strenuous activities, heavy lifting, and upper body workouts are typically restricted for four to six weeks to ensure proper healing and avoid complications. Your surgeon will provide specific guidelines based on your recovery.
The goal of breast augmentation is often to achieve a natural feel and appearance. While silicone implants are generally lauded for closely mimicking natural breast tissue, the final feel also depends on factors like the implant size, placement (over or under the muscle), and your existing breast tissue. Over time, implants tend to soften and settle, contributing to a more natural feel.
Capsular contracture is a potential complication of breast augmentation where the scar tissue capsule that naturally forms around an implant tightens and hardens. This can cause the breast to feel firm, look distorted, and sometimes lead to discomfort. While the exact cause isn’t fully understood, various techniques are used to minimize its risk, and it can often be treated if it occurs.
If a saline breast implant ruptures, the sterile salt water is harmlessly absorbed by the body, and the implant will visibly deflate, making a rupture immediately noticeable. If a silicone breast implant ruptures, the cohesive gel usually remains within the scar capsule, which is known as a “silent rupture” because it may not be immediately obvious. Regular MRI screenings are often recommended for silicone implants to detect silent ruptures, and in either case, a ruptured implant typically requires surgical replacement.
While breast augmentation increases breast volume and projection, it does not primarily correct significant sagging. If breasts have noticeable drooping (ptosis), a breast lift (mastopexy) is usually required to reposition the nipple-areola complex and remove excess skin. In many cases, breast augmentation and a breast lift are combined into a single procedure to address both volume loss and sagging simultaneously.
Changes in nipple and breast sensation are common after breast augmentation. Sensation can increase, decrease, or even be temporarily absent, typically returning within a few months. While most changes are temporary, a small percentage of individuals may experience permanent alterations in sensitivity.
Following breast augmentation, you will typically need to wear a specialized surgical bra or compression garment continuously for several weeks, usually four to six weeks, except when showering. This support is crucial for minimizing swelling, promoting proper healing, and helping the breast implants settle into their final position. Your surgeon will provide specific post-operative instructions.
