Schedule A ConsultationWhat Is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery that is designed to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breasts. It involves placing silicone or saline-filled implants under the breast tissue or the chest muscles to create a fuller, more symmetrical look.
Many women choose breast augmentation to improve the proportions of their bodies, give them the size breasts they have always wanted, restore volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss, and boost their self-confidence.
Sometimes women undergo breast augmentation as a part of breast reconstruction to restore the appearance of their breasts after a mastectomy or lumpectomy. This can be done using implants or through a technique called fat transfer, which involves using liposuction to remove fat cells from one part of the body, and after a purification process, transferring them to the breasts. The intent is to recreate natural-looking breasts to help women feel whole and confident in their appearance.
Who Is A Candidate?
Ideal candidates for breast augmentation surgery (also referred to as a “boob job”) include:
- Women who are at least 18 years old for saline implants and 22 years old for silicone implants to comply with FDA regulations;
- Women in overall good health and free from any serious medical conditions;
- Women whose breasts are sagging, flattened, elongated, uneven, or lacking cleavage or volume;
- Women who do not actively smoke, drink heavily, or use illegal drugs;
- Patients who understand the risks and benefits of the surgery and have realistic expectations of the results;
- Women who desire breast enhancement for their own satisfaction and confidence, not because someone else is pressuring them.
Procedure Steps
The steps of a breast augmentation procedure can vary depending on the technique used and the type and size of the implant, but the steps typically include:
The patient is sedated with general anesthesia to ensure surgery is pain-free and comfortable.
Dr. Angelina Postoev will carefully make incisions in discrete areas to reduce visible scarring. She will go over the different incision options with you to determine which is best for achieving your desired results. These options include the edge around the areola (periareolar incision), the fold under the breast (inframammary fold), and the armpit (axillary incision).
After making the incision, Dr. Angelina will place the breast implant in one of two locations: either under the pectoral muscle (submuscular placement) or directly behind the breast tissue, over the pectoral muscle (submammary/subglandular placement). The choice depends on the type of implant, the desired size increase, your body type, and the decisions made during your consultation.
Dr. Angelina will then carefully close the incisions using layered sutures, surgical glue, or tape to ensure they are neatly and securely finished. This will help mitigate scarring and prevent the incisions from opening.
Patients are taken to a recovery area where they will be observed for a few hours before being discharged to go home to recover.

Recovery
Breast augmentation is an outpatient surgery, so you can go home the same day. You’ll need someone to drive you home and stay with you for the first few hours. Most people can return to work in about 3 to 5 days, depending on their job’s physical demands and full recovery may take up to six weeks. Usually, it takes a bit longer to recover if your implants are placed under the chest muscles. Dr. Angelina will provide you with detailed post-surgery instructions and the activities you should avoid to help ensure a smooth healing process.
Results
It can take several months to see the final results of breast augmentation, so you need to be prepared for the fact that this is a gradual process. At first, your breasts will seem to sit higher on your chest than they should be due to swelling or the placement of the implants under the muscles. This is normal, and over time, your breasts will start to settle into a more natural position and achieve the size you expected.
Most women can see close to what their final results will be in three to four months, but Dr. Angelina will provide a closer timeline based on your specific implant type, size, placement, and individual circumstances. Your final results should reflect the desires and goals that were determined during your initial consultation.

Breast Augmentation FAQs
What Can I Expect During My Breast Augmentation Consultation?
During your initial consultation with triple board-certified cosmetic surgeon, Dr. Angelina Postoev, you will spend some time talking about your medical history, allergies you may have, medical conditions or previous surgeries, current supplement usage, and anything else that may influence your surgery results.
Dr. Angelina will help you choose the right type of implant by reviewing different types, sizes, shapes, and textures, and you will be able to try on sample implants to find the best fit for you. She will then go over the surgical procedure with you, answer any questions you may have, and provide you with a realistic picture of the results you can expect. She may prescribe some oral collagen supplements and other measures you take before your surgery to help mitigate bruising and yield the best outcome.
How Do I Know Which Implants And Technique Are The Best To Get The Results I Want?
The best way to determine the type, size, shape, and placement of breast implants to give you the appearance you desire is to meet with a board-certified cosmetic surgeon with extensive experience in breast augmentation like Dr. Angelina. Clearly communicate your aesthetic desires and the results you would like to see, and bring photos if possible to help illustrate the look you want.
Dr. Angelina will help you learn about the different types of implants available (silicone and saline) and understand how their size, shape, and profile can impact your results. You can also try on samples to get an approximate idea of what each will look like in relation to your body proportions.
What Are The Most Common Side Effects Of Breast Augmentation Surgery?
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks and complications that can occur after undergoing breast augmentation. Along with the usual risks associated with the use of general anesthesia, some other risks include:
- Swelling and bruising, which can last a few weeks to several months;
- Some experience soreness or discomfort that can be managed with prescribed pain medication for a few days and then over-the-counter medication after that;
- Temporary numbness or changes in sensation around the breasts or nipples can occur, but most often resolves gradually on its own;
- While Dr. Angelina does all she can to place incisions in less noticeable areas, some scarring is inevitable but usually will eventually fade and become less visible;
- Sometimes minor differences in breast size or shape may be noticeable immediately after surgery but usually even out as you heal;
- Capsular contracture is a complication that can occur when scar tissue forms and tightens around the implant and causes the breast to feel hard or misshapen;
- In rare cases, implants may shift or move and might require corrective surgery;
- Though rare, there is a risk of infection at the incision sites or around the implants.
