What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a customizable cosmetic procedure that enhances breast size and shape using silicone or saline implants, tailored to each patient’s anatomy and goals.
Breast enhancement, also known as breast augmentation, is the #1 plastic surgery procedure performed in the United States. For many women, small breasts cause feelings of self-consciousness or create problems wearing certain clothes or swimsuits. For other women, loss of breast volume may occur after breastfeeding, weight loss, or just the passage of time.
Breast augmentation offers you the opportunity to transform your breast size and shape using breast implants. Dr. Chiasson will assist you in making a truly informed decision. She will listen carefully to your desires and together you will select the best size and style implant to achieve your goals. The size and type of the most suitable implant depends on many factors unique to you: desired size, anatomy, skin quality, and body type. You have choices in incision placement. The implant may be placed over or under the chest wall muscle. Dr. Chiasson will thoroughly discuss the pros and cons of these options with you.
Choosing the right implant size, type, and placement.
Choosing an ideal breast size is a highly personal decision. Your ideal breast size may be different. Dr. Chiasson will never over-augment you such that you have long-term issues related to excessively large implants. While implants are not “forever” devices the fewer breast implant surgeries you have during your lifetime, the better.
The surgery is performed under General Anesthesia in an out-patient setting. Plan to take a few days off of work or household duties before resuming modified activity.
Breast Augmentation - Before & After

Breast implants aren't considered lifetime devices, but they're built to last. Most patients enjoy their results for 10 to 15 years or longer before considering a replacement. I always tell my patients that the fewer implant surgeries you have over your lifetime, the better, so we'll choose your implants thoughtfully from the start to give you lasting, comfortable results.
-
Everyone heals a little differently, but most of our patients are back to their normal routine within one to two weeks, with full recovery around four to six weeks. I'll walk you through exactly what to expect at each stage, and our team and I will be here to support you the whole way through.
-
Both are safe, effective, and excellent choices, so it really comes down to what's right for you. Silicone implants tend to offer a softer, more natural feel, while saline allows for a smaller incision. During your consultation, we'll talk through the pros and cons of each so you can make a decision that feels completely informed and comfortable.
-
Absolutely, that's always the goal. I customize the implant type, size, and placement to suit your unique anatomy and your goals, so your results look and feel naturally your own. I'll never over-augment you in a way that could cause long-term issues, because beautiful results should also be results you can live with comfortably for years to come.
-
Yes, and many of my patients do. Breast augmentation pairs beautifully with a breast lift, or it can be part of a mommy makeover to restore changes after pregnancy or weight loss. We'll build a personalized plan together based on what you'd like to achieve.
