What Is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that increases the size, shape, or fullness of the breasts using saline or silicone implants. The procedure can also correct asymmetry or restore volume lost to aging, pregnancy, or breastfeeding. Dr. Chadab selects implant type, size, and placement — subfascial or submuscular — based on each patient’s anatomy, tissue quality, and goals.
Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
Ideal candidates are healthy adults who are dissatisfied with their breast size, shape, or symmetry. Strong candidates have realistic expectations, are non-smokers, and are looking for natural-appearing enhancement rather than a dramatically altered look. A thorough consultation will determine whether breast augmentation is right for you.
Breast Augmentation Procedure Details
Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes one to two hours. Incisions are carefully placed in inconspicuous locations — most often along the breast crease — and implants are positioned either above or beneath the chest muscle, depending on your anatomy and desired outcome. Dr. Chadab uses meticulous techniques designed to minimize scarring and create a soft, balanced result.
Breast Augmentation Recovery & Results
Most patients return to light daily activities within five to seven days and resume exercise after four to six weeks. Mild swelling and tightness are normal in the early weeks and gradually subside as the implants settle into their final position. Final results typically reveal themselves within three months, leaving patients with a refined, natural-looking enhancement that feels uniquely their own.
