Top 10 Tips for the Best Breast Augmentation Results

Plastic Surgeons Share Tips for the Best Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that enhances the size, shape, and position of a woman’s breasts. This procedure involves the insertion of breast implants under the breast tissue or chest muscles – to increase the fullness and projection of the breasts, lift their position when necessary, and improve the balance and proportions of the woman’s figure.

A well-done breast augmentation can enhance a woman’s self-image, improve her confidence, and make her comfortable in clothes, bathing suits, lingerie – or when undressed.

The popularity of breast augmentation has grown significantly in the last decade, primarily due to advancements in surgical techniques and implant technology. More and more women are exploring breast augmentation as a means to improve their physical appearance and boost their self-esteem – with an estimated 365,000 women getting breast augmentation surgery in 2021.

However, like any surgical procedure, breast augmentation comes with its own set of considerations. Understanding the pre-planning, recovery, and maintenance process, along with having realistic expectations, can help patients enjoy safer, more beautiful, and longer lasting results.

In this article the Detroit area breast augmentation specialist at AMAE Plastic Surgery in Birmingham, MI share their tips for ensuring you get the best results from your breast augmentation surgery.

Common Misconceptions About Breast Augmentation

There are several misconceptions surrounding breast augmentation that can cloud a prospective patient’s judgement. One of the most common fallacies is that breast augmentation is a simple and straightforward procedure. In reality, it is a complex surgery that requires precise surgical skills, in-depth understanding of the female anatomy, and an artistic eye for detail.

Another misconception is that breast augmentation results in an unnatural look. This is far from the truth. A well-performed breast augmentation by a board-certified plastic surgeon can yield very natural-looking results. The key lies in choosing the right surgeon and the right size and type of implant that complements the patient’s body shape and size.

Lastly, many people believe that breast implants need to be replaced every 10 years. In reality, breast implants do not have an expiration date. They only need to be replaced if there are complications or if the patient desires a change in size or shape. At AMAE Plastic Surgery we have many patients with the same implants that were put in more than 20 years ago!

Top 10 Tips for Optimal Breast Augmentation Results

Achieving optimal results from a breast augmentation surgery depends on several factors. Here are our top 10 tips for the best outcome after breast augmentation surgery.

#1. Have Realistic Breast Augmentation Expectations

Understanding that breast augmentation can enhance your figure – but will not make you perfect – is key. Remember, nobody is perfect. Not even celebrities. Your proportions will be more balanced, and your breasts will be bigger and more beautiful, after breast augmentation – but you will still be you!

#2. Choose the Right Breast Augmentation Right Surgeon

Select a board-certified plastic surgeon with skill and experience in breast augmentation. They should have hundreds of before and after pictures of breast augmentation, so you can see their results.

It is important to keep in mind that not all doctors who are ‘cosmetic surgeons’ are actually board-certified plastic surgeons. So always check your surgeon’s board-certifications and other credentials carefully.

#3. Communicate Your Breast Augmentation Goals Clearly

Be clear and specific about your desired Breast Augmentation outcome. A good plastic surgeon will take the time to ask you questions and listen to your appearance goals. Do you want to go big and bold like Cardi B or moderate and natural like Kelly Cuoco (both had had breast augmentation).

#4. Select the Right Breast Implant Size & Shape for Your Body

Dr. Ali can guide you in choosing the best breast implant based on your body type and goals. See some of the guidelines HERE.

Round breast implants are more dramatic while teardrop shaped implants mirror natural breasts more closely. And a medium sized implant may look very large on a woman with a petite frame – but be too small for a larger person.

You need the implants that are just right for your body type and size, and your aesthetic goals.

#5. Choose a Breast Augmentation Surgeon with Vectra 3D Imaging

AMAE plastic surgery is one of the first practices in the Detroit area to offer amazing Vectra 3D computer imaging. This allows you to visualize your expected breast implant results before the surgery, giving you a better idea of how the chosen implants will look in your body.

This technology can help you make the best decision about the ideal breast implants for your body.

#6. Follow Pre-Surgery Breast Augmentation Instructions

Adhering to your surgeon’s pre-operative instructions can help ensure a successful surgery. Our breast augmentation team will give you a list of steps to take leading up to surgery to prepare your body for surgery.

This includes quitting smoking – as tobacco use can interfere with healing, prolonging recovery time, and increasing the risk of complications.

#7. Prepare for Post-Surgery Recovery

Arrange for help with household chores and daily activities post-surgery. You will need to take time off from work, housecleaning, working-out, driving, and other strenuous activities to enable your body to heal.

We will provide you with a timeline for resuming these activities after your breast augmentation surgery.

And remember, patience is key. Healing takes time. Be patient and give your body the time it needs to recover and adapt to the new changes.

#8. Follow Post Surgery Instructions

Adhere closely to the post-operative instructions that our breast augmentation team will give you. This is essential to prevent complications and ensure optimal healing. It will include not smoking, avoiding alcohol, wearing your post-surgical garments, changing dressings, etc.

#9. Maintain a Healthy Lifestyle after Breast Augmentation

Once you have recovered, regular exercise, a balanced diet, and healthy habits (no smoking, moderate alcohol, etc.) can help maintain the results of your breast augmentation for decades to come. These steps keep your skin and tissues healthy, support your immune system, and stave off inflammation in the body – all of which can help keep you and your breasts in excellent health.

#10. Schedule Regular Follow-Up Visits

Be sure to schedule regular check-ups with Dr. Ali after your breast augmentation surgery to monitor your progress., and ensuring you are healing well.
