Breast augmentation can help women enhance breast size, shape, and overall balance while improving confidence and body image. Many patients seek this procedure to address underdeveloped breasts, volume loss, or asymmetry that affects how they feel in clothing and daily life. Modern breast augmentation focuses on achieving results that look natural, feel proportionate, and align with each woman’s personal goals.
At breast augmentation is performed by Dr. Thomas Pane, a double board-certified plastic surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery. With decades of surgical experience and advanced training in cosmetic breast procedures, Dr. Pane applies technique selection and implant planning tailored to each patient’s anatomy to support safe surgery and balanced, long-term results.
Cosmetic Breast Augmentation
Cosmetic breast augmentation is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures in the United States. It is designed to enhance breast volume, improve contour, and create a more proportionate figure. Advances in implant design and surgical techniques have made breast augmentation safer and more customizable than ever.
At our practice, breast augmentation planning is guided by Dr. Thomas Pane’s extensive experience performing implant-based breast surgery. As a double board-certified surgeon, he evaluates chest anatomy, skin quality, and aesthetic goals to recommend implant options that support symmetry, durability, and natural-looking outcomes.
Is Breast Augmentation Right for You?
Determining whether breast augmentation is appropriate begins with a thorough consultation. During this visit, your goals, expectations, and medical history are carefully reviewed to ensure the procedure aligns with your needs.
- Desire for increased volume: Enhancing breast size to improve body proportion.
- Asymmetry correction: Addressing noticeable differences between breasts.
- Volume restoration: Replacing fullness lost after pregnancy or weight changes.
- Confidence concerns: Improving comfort with appearance and clothing fit.
A personalized evaluation helps confirm candidacy and establish realistic expectations.
Your Breast Augmentation Procedure
Breast augmentation is typically performed on an outpatient basis using general or local anesthesia. The procedure usually takes about two hours, depending on the surgical plan. Incisions are placed strategically to minimize visibility, and implants are positioned either beneath the breast tissue or under the chest muscle to achieve the desired result.
Dr. Pane selects incision placement and implant positioning based on anatomy and aesthetic goals, helping promote proper healing and long-term implant support.
Are Breast Implants Safe?
Extensive research has shown that modern breast implants are safe when used appropriately. Saline implants, in particular, are filled with sterile saltwater that is safely absorbed by the body in the event of a leak. Most implant manufacturers also provide warranties that offer additional reassurance.
Recovery Timeline and Activity Guidelines
Recovery after breast augmentation varies by individual and surgical approach. Most patients rest for the first few days and wear a supportive surgical bra for several weeks. Light activities can usually be resumed within a short period, while strenuous exercise should be avoided until cleared by your surgeon.
Following post-operative instructions closely supports comfort, healing, and optimal results.
Scarring and Appearance Over Time
Incisions for breast augmentation are planned carefully to reduce visible scarring. Over time, scars typically soften and fade. Proper scar care and sun protection can further improve long-term appearance.
Long-Term Results and Expectations
Breast augmentation results are long-lasting, though natural aging and life changes may affect breast appearance over time. Many patients enjoy improved proportions and confidence for years following surgery. Maintaining a stable weight helps preserve results.
