Breast Augmentation Before & Afters
WE TAKE PRIDE IN PRICE TRANSPARENCY
Breast Augmentation Options
There are various breast implant options for enhancing breast volume. Dr. Nazarian offers personalized guidance in selecting the most appropriate choice for your desired breast augmentation results.
Types of Implants Used in Breast Augmentation
- Silicone Implants. Filled with cohesive silicone gel, providing a realistic appearance and feel.
- Saline Implants. Filled with saline solution, offering adjustable volume and a more cost-effective option.
- Gummy Bear Implants. Highly cohesive gel implants that maintain their shape and are less prone to rippling or folding.
- Fat Transfer. Fat Transfer is an alternative option that provides a subtle enhancement and utilizes the patient’s own tissue for breast augmentation. Fat is harvested from another area like the thighs, abdomens, or buttocks, purified, and carefully injected into the breasts for enhanced shapeliness and volume.
Implant Shape Options
Round Breast Implants. Provide fullness and symmetry, suitable for those desiring enhanced cleavage and a balanced appearance.
Teardrop Breast Implants. Mimic the natural slope of the breast, offering a subtle, tapered look for a more anatomical shape.
Implant Texture Options
Smooth. Sleek implant surface that can move naturally within the breast pocket, offering a softer feel.
Textured. Slightly rough surface designed to reduce the risk of implant rotation and enhance tissue adherence for more stable positioning.
What Is the Breast Augmentation Procedure Like?
Dr. Nazarian performs breast augmentation surgery in our fully equipped onsite surgery center. Because breast surgery is an outpatient procedure that uses general anesthesia, patients will need a friend or family member to drive them home. The details of the surgery are tailored to your unique needs. Below, we break down the various approaches that may be used in breast augmentation surgery.
Implant Placement Options
Submuscular Placement. Breast implants are placed beneath the chest muscles, resulting in a more natural appearance and decreased risk of rippling.
Subglandular Placement. Breast implants are placed above the chest muscles, providing a slightly more projected look and a shorter recovery period.
Incision Options
The success of each breast implant surgery is significantly influenced by the type of incision used. Dr. Nazarian utilizes discrete incisions strategically positioned either beneath the breast within the natural skin fold or discreetly along the areolar border. This approach to breast augmentation with implants aims to minimize visible scarring and attain outcomes that exude a natural appearance.
Inframammary Incision. Crease of the breast fold
Periareolar Incision. Around the lower half of the areola
Transaxillary Incision. Armpit area

Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
Ideal candidates for breast augmentation are patients in good overall physical and mental health who desire to enhance their breast size and shape due to dissatisfaction with their current breast size, asymmetry or uneven breasts, or volume loss due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. Breast augmentation patients should be 18 years or older and have fully developed breasts. It’s essential to have a positive outlook and realistic expectations about the results of your procedure.
Patients who are pregnant or breastfeeding, those who have breast cancer or an abnormal mammogram, or those who are ill or battling an infection should not have breast augmentation surgery. At your consultation, Dr. Nazarian will learn about your medical history and aesthetic goals to help you navigate your options.
Breast Augmentation Recovery
While everyone heals at different rates, most patients are ready to resume light activities after about a week. Dr. Nazarian will typically clear patients to return to more strenuous activities after four to six weeks. It takes a little while for the implants to settle into the implant pocket and shift into their optimal position. This means your results may continue to improve for several months after surgery.
Dr. Nazarian will check the progress of your recovery during post-operative visits. Incision lines can take up to a year to mature. While some minor scarring is to be expected, patients tend to be very happy with how the scars blend in over time.
Breast Augmentation Results
Your personal vision for your body takes shape in your results, from a subtle enhancement to more ample curves. Breast implants can last a decade or longer, providing a low-maintenance way to feel more satisfied with your figure. Enjoy more clothing options and greater confidence in every area of life. Schedule your consultation today to get started on your journey.
“I could not be happier.”
Breast Augmentation Reviews
“Dr. Nazarian and her team are incredible! I had breast augmentation one week ago, and I couldn’t be happier with not only the results but the recovery process. Dr. Nazarian has perfected the process from start to finish to set you up for a quick and painless recovery. She and her team are friendly and accommodating, the surgery center was not intimidating at all, and I felt well taken care of the entire time. Afterward, I had no pain or bruising in my breasts whatsoever, but I also iced religiously, took my pain meds, and took five full days to relax and heal. My body was a little sore, and I was very tired for a week, but that’s to be expected with surgery and anesthesia. Follow the instructions from Dr. Nazarian, show yourself love and patience, and know that you are in great hands if you choose Dr. Nazarian for any service or procedure! I absolutely recommend her and her team.” —Emma K., Google.
“Dr. Nazarian is hands down the most thoughtful, knowledgeable, and attentive surgeon. I personally did extensive research and was very critical in finding the right plastic surgeon. I was looking for a plastic surgeon who listened and understood that I wanted a more natural breast augmentation that fit my body frame and wouldn’t push me to go too large. She just gets it and guided me to the perfect size, and I could not be happier. I have been a nurse for over 15 years, and her medical care is top-of-the-line. I had hardly any discomfort post-surgery. Her staff is vigilant and caring. Again, I can’t say enough about my satisfaction and happiness with Dr. Nazarian! She is well worth it, and I am so happy I made the choice to have a breast augmentation done with her. You will have no regrets!!” —Bethany L., Yelp.
Breast Augmentation
Frequently Asked Questions
Breast augmentation, also known as “augmentation mammoplasty,” is a surgical procedure that aims to enlarge the size, shape, or fullness of the breasts using implants or fat transfer.
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances the size and shape of the breasts. Implants are the synthetic devices used to achieve this enhancement. In other words, breast augmentation is the procedure, and implants are the tools used in the procedure. There are also methods of breast augmentation that do not use implants, such as the fat transfer method.
The FDA recommends saline implants for women 18 and older and silicone implants for women 22 and older. However, the best age to have breast augmentation is a personal decision and should be discussed with a healthcare provider.
Most patients can return to non-strenuous activities within a week after their breast augmentation surgery. However, full recovery, including resuming intense workouts and heavy lifting, typically takes four to six weeks.
Patients may experience discomfort and pain immediately after their breast augmentation procedure. However, this can be managed with prescribed pain medications. The intensity of pain decreases as the body heals.
The best type of breast augmentation depends on your individual goals, body type, and anatomy. Options include saline, silicone, or fat transfer. A consultation with a plastic surgeon can help determine the best choice.
The primary types are augmentation using implants (saline or silicone) and augmentation using fat transfer. The saline type involves inserting sterile saline-filled implants, while the silicone one involves silicone gel-filled implants.
Immediately after breast augmentation surgery, patients are typically advised to wear a surgical bra or compression garment to support healing. After recovery, wearing a bra is a personal choice.
Yes, but the sensation might be different, especially initially. Over time, as the body adjusts, the feeling becomes more natural. Different factors like breast tissue and nerves can have an impact on the sensitivity of the breasts.
It’s often recommended to sleep in a supportive bra for several weeks post-surgery. The purpose is to aid in healing and maintain the position of the implants.
Initially, there may be sensitivity or discomfort, but this subsides as healing progresses. If pain persists, it’s essential to consult the surgeon. Some people can experience various degrees of sensation in the breast region, which can be impacted by implant type, size, and location.
Both implant and fat transfer methods have their risks. The best approach is to choose a board-certified healthcare practitioner who will carefully assess your goals and discuss potential risks and benefits.
The best size is subjective and depends on the individual’s body frame, desired outcome, and other factors. Dr. Nazarian can provide guidance on choosing the right size for your goals and body type.
The difference in cup sizes is usually from 50cc to 100cc. Typically, every 150-200cc of implant volume can increase breast size by approximately one cup. However, results vary based on individual anatomy.
For the initial weeks post-surgery, it’s usually recommended to wear a supportive bra around the clock to aid in healing. To promote proper healing and provide added support, healthcare practitioners recommend wearing it.
Because of the additional fat stored in the breasts, breast implants might cause a minor increase in breast sagging as you age. Over time, implants can be affected by factors like gravity, weight fluctuations, and aging, leading to changes in appearance. Regular check-ups can help monitor the condition of the implants.
Both shapes have their advantages. Round implants provide more fullness, while teardrop (anatomical) implants offer a more natural slope. The choice depends on the desired look and consultation with a healthcare provider.
It’s really going to depend on how much your breasts sag. If you can place a pen underneath your breast and it doesn’t drop to the ground, you probably need a breast lift. Another indicator is the nipple position. If your nipples sit below the crease of your breasts, you will probably need a lift.
Scars are the single biggest deterrent for patients when it comes to any kind of surgical procedure. Luckily, they heal really well. Experienced practitioners take the necessary time to make sure that any scars are as inconspicuous as possible. Even though they always look pink at first, you need to be patient and see the improvement with time.
Breast implant illness describes a variety of autoimmune symptoms associated with breast implants, such as brain fog, exhaustion, and joint discomfort, though the cause is unknown. Despite significant studies, breast implants may cause unpleasant reactions in certain people. While some plastic surgeons downplay the problem, others, such as myself, take patients’ concerns seriously, giving removal choices after all medicinal options have been tried.
Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) is an exceedingly rare but serious problem, and it has only been linked to textured implants, according to the FDA and Canada Health. While there is no need to panic if you have textured implants, it is critical to remain cautious. If you develop a fever, seek medical assistance because it is curable if detected early. Finally, annual check-ups with your healthcare provider are essential to ensure the health of your breast implants.
If you want to transition from a cup size B to a D cup, implants ranging from 350cc to 400cc may assist you in reaching your target cup size. Implants in the 300 to 350 cc range may be helpful if you want to transition from a cup size C to a D cup.
Modern breast augmentation methods have made this a very safe procedure for most people. However, as with any surgery, there are some risks. Below are some of the most common risks associated with breast augmentation. Our team will educate you about the signs that something is wrong so that you can get the care you need promptly.
