What Is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that increases breast volume and enhances breast shape, typically through the placement of breast implants.
Breast implants are available in different sizes, shapes, profiles and filling materials. They may be placed beneath the breast tissue, beneath the chest muscle, or in another appropriate position depending on your anatomy and surgical plan.
During your consultation, Dr Chang will evaluate your breast and chest anatomy and discuss the options that may be appropriate for your goals.
Benefits of Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation can provide several aesthetic benefits, depending on your individual anatomy and desired outcome.
Enhanced Breast Volume
Breast augmentation can increase breast volume for patients who feel their breasts are naturally smaller than desired or who have experienced a loss of volume following pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, or weight changes.
Improved Body Proportions
Adding breast volume can change the relationship between the breasts, chest, waist, and hips. Carefully selected implants can help create proportions that are more consistent with your individual aesthetic goals.
Improved Breast Symmetry
Natural breast asymmetry is common. Breast augmentation may help reduce certain differences in breast size or shape, although perfectly symmetrical results cannot always be achieved.
Restoration of Lost Volume
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, and significant weight fluctuations can change breast volume and shape. Depending on the extent of these changes, breast augmentation may help restore some of the fullness that has been lost.
Greater Confidence
For many patients, improving breast size or proportions can contribute to greater satisfaction with their appearance and increased confidence in clothing and other aspects of daily life.

Choosing the Right Breast Implant Size
Implant selection involves much more than choosing a particular cup size. Your chest dimensions, existing breast tissue, skin quality, breast shape and desired degree of enhancement all influence which implant may be appropriate.
During your consultation, Dr Chang will discuss your aesthetic goals and evaluate your anatomy to help determine an implant size and profile that are appropriate for your body.
The goal is to create an enhancement that is proportionate to your overall figure rather than simply choosing the largest possible implant.
Breast Implant Placement
Breast implants can be placed in different positions depending on your anatomy, implant characteristics, existing breast tissue, and surgical goals.
Possible approaches include placement beneath the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle. The appropriate placement is determined as part of your individualized surgical plan.
Dr Chang will explain the recommended approach and discuss the considerations associated with implant placement during your consultation.

Breast Augmentation Incision Options
Breast augmentation requires an incision through which the implant is inserted. Several incision approaches may be appropriate depending on the implant and surgical technique.
Inframammary Incision
An inframammary incision is placed within or near the natural crease beneath the breast. This approach provides direct access to the breast pocket and is commonly used for breast augmentation.
Periareolar Incision
A periareolar incision is made around the border of the areola. Whether this approach is appropriate depends on factors including your anatomy, implant selection, and surgical plan.
Transaxillary Incision
A transaxillary approach places the incision within the armpit rather than directly on the breast. This technique may be appropriate for selected patients but has specific considerations regarding implant placement and surgical access.
Dr Chang will recommend an incision approach based on your individual anatomy and treatment plan for breast augmentation West Palm Beach.
Breast Augmentation or Breast Lift?
Breast augmentation increases breast volume but does not necessarily correct significant breast sagging or excess skin.
If the breasts have lost volume and developed significant drooping, a breast lift may be recommended. A breast lift reshapes and repositions the breast while removing excess skin.
Some patients may benefit from combining breast augmentation with a breast lift. This approach can add volume while also improving breast position and shape.
During your consultation, Dr Chang can determine whether breast augmentation alone or a combination of augmentation and breast lift is appropriate for your goals for breast augmentation West Palm Beach.
Are You a Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a highly personal decision. Candidates should generally be in appropriate overall health, have realistic expectations and understand the potential benefits and risks associated with surgery.
You may wish to consider breast augmentation if you:
- Want to increase breast volume
- Feel your breasts are smaller than you would like
- Have experienced changes in breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss
- Want to improve certain differences in breast size
- Are dissatisfied with your breast proportions
- Understand that breast implants require ongoing consideration and may require additional surgery in the future
- Have realistic expectations about what breast augmentation can and cannot accomplish
Dr Chang will evaluate your individual circumstances during your consultation to determine whether breast augmentation is an appropriate option.
What Happens During a Breast Lift Consultation?
Your consultation with Dr Chang is an important part of developing your breast augmentation plan.
During your appointment, you will discuss your aesthetic goals and concerns. Dr Chang will evaluate your breast and chest anatomy and discuss appropriate implant options, implant placement, incision approaches, and whether a breast lift or another procedure may be beneficial.
You will also have an opportunity to discuss:
- Your desired breast size and appearance
- Saline and silicone implant options
- Implant size and profile
- Implant placement
- Incision options
- Recovery and activity restrictions
- Potential risks and complications
- Expected results
- Long-term considerations associated with breast implants
A thorough consultation allows you to make an informed decision based on your individual goals and circumstances.

How Is Breast Augmentation Performed?
Breast augmentation is performed using anesthesia so that you are comfortable throughout the procedure. Dr Chang creates the planned incision, develops the appropriate implant pocket and carefully places the selected implant.
The surgical technique and duration can vary depending on your anatomy, implant selection and whether breast augmentation is combined with another procedure.
Breast augmentation is commonly performed as an outpatient procedure, although individual circumstances may vary. You will need a responsible adult to drive you home and assist you following surgery according to your postoperative instructions.
Breast Augmentation Recovery
Recovery varies from patient to patient. Following breast augmentation, it is normal to experience some swelling, bruising, soreness, tightness or temporary changes in sensation.
Many patients can return to work and light daily activities relatively quickly, depending on the nature of their work and individual recovery. More strenuous physical activity and exercise generally need to be limited during the initial healing period.
Dr Chang will provide specific postoperative instructions based on your procedure and recovery. Following these instructions and attending recommended follow-up appointments are important parts of the healing process.
When Will I See My Breast Augmentation Results?
Breast augmentation creates an immediate change in breast volume, but your final appearance develops gradually as swelling decreases and the breast tissues adjust to the implants.
During the early stages of recovery, the breasts may appear swollen, feel firm or sit higher than expected. As healing progresses, the implants and surrounding tissues can settle into a more natural position and appearance.
The timing of this process varies from patient to patient.
How Long Do Breast Implants Last?
Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices. While many implants remain intact for many years, there is no specific expiration date at which every implant must be replaced.
Implant-related complications, changes in breast appearance, personal preferences, pregnancy, weight changes, aging or other circumstances may eventually lead some patients to consider additional surgery.
Patients with breast implants should follow appropriate monitoring recommendations and discuss any changes or concerns with their surgeon.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Augmentation West Palm Beach
How much does breast augmentation cost in West Palm Beach?
The cost of breast augmentation West Palm Beach varies depending on factors such as the implant selected, surgical technique, anesthesia, facility fees, and whether additional procedures are performed. After evaluating your goals and developing an individualized surgical plan, Dr Chang’s team can provide information about the associated costs.
What is the difference between saline and silicone breast implants?
Saline implants contain sterile saline solution inside a silicone shell, while silicone implants contain cohesive silicone gel. Both types have advantages and considerations. The appropriate option depends on your anatomy, preferences, and surgical goals.
How do I choose the right breast implant size?
The right implant size depends on more than a desired cup size. Dr Chang considers your chest dimensions, existing breast tissue, skin characteristics, breast shape, and desired degree of enhancement when recommending an implant.
Will breast augmentation make my breasts look natural?
Breast augmentation can be planned to produce a range of results, including a subtle, natural-looking enhancement. The final appearance depends on implant selection, placement, existing breast tissue, anatomy, and individual healing.
Can breast augmentation correct uneven breasts?
Breast augmentation can improve certain differences in breast size and shape. However, some degree of natural asymmetry is normal, and perfectly symmetrical breasts cannot always be achieved. Dr Chang can discuss realistic options based on your individual anatomy.
Can breast augmentation fix sagging breasts?
Breast augmentation primarily adds volume and does not correct significant breast sagging or excess skin. If you have noticeable breast ptosis, Dr Chang may recommend a breast lift, either alone or in combination with breast augmentation West Palm Beach.
How long does breast augmentation surgery take?
Surgical time varies depending on your anatomy, implant selection, surgical technique, and whether additional procedures are performed. Dr Chang can provide more specific information about your procedure during your consultation.
How long does breast augmentation recovery take?
Recovery varies between patients. Many patients can resume light daily activities relatively soon after surgery, but strenuous exercise and other activities may need to be restricted during the initial healing period. Dr Chang will provide individualized recovery instructions.
When can I exercise after breast augmentation?
The timing for returning to exercise depends on your individual recovery and the type of activity. Dr Chang will provide specific instructions about when you can resume walking, strength training, cardio, and other physical activities.
Will breast augmentation leave scars?
Breast augmentation requires an incision, so some degree of scarring is expected. The location and appearance of scars depend on the incision technique, individual healing, and other factors. Incisions are planned carefully to achieve appropriate surgical access while keeping scars as discreet as reasonably possible.
What does “drop and fluff” mean after breast augmentation West Palm Beach?
“Drop and fluff” is a commonly used term describing changes that can occur as breast implants settle during healing. Initially, implants may appear higher or feel firmer because of swelling and tissue tightness. As healing progresses, the implants and surrounding tissues may settle into a more natural position and shape.
The timing varies significantly between patients.
Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation?
Many women are able to breastfeed after breast augmentation, but breastfeeding ability can vary depending on individual anatomy, the surgical technique, and other factors. If future breastfeeding is important to you, discuss your plans with Dr Chang during your consultation for breast augmentation West Palm Beach.
How long do breast implants last?
Breast implants are not lifetime devices. Many can remain in place for years without requiring replacement, but additional surgery may eventually be necessary because of complications, changes in breast appearance, personal preference, or other circumstances.
How are silicone breast implants monitored?
Patients with silicone gel breast implants should follow current FDA and surgeon recommendations for implant monitoring. Imaging may be recommended to screen for implant rupture even when there are no symptoms. Dr Chang can discuss the appropriate monitoring schedule for your individual implants.
What should I do to prepare for my breast augmentation consultation?
Before your consultation, consider what you would like to change about your breasts and what type of result you hope to achieve. It can also be helpful to make a list of questions about implant options, surgical techniques, recovery, risks, costs, and long-term considerations for breast augmentation West Palm Beach.
