Breast
Augmentation in Plano, TX
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that increases breast size and improves breast shape using implants or the patient’s own fat. It is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgical procedures in the United States.
The procedure addresses volume loss after pregnancy or breastfeeding, natural asymmetry between breasts, and the desire for a fuller, more proportionate silhouette. Breast augmentation uses implants — either filled with silicone gel or sterile saline — placed behind the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle. Fat transfer augmentation is an alternative for patients who want modest enhancement without implants.
Breast augmentation does not lift the breasts. Patients who have both volume loss and sagging may benefit from combining augmentation with a breast lift. Your surgeon will help determine the right approach during your consultation.
Types of Breast Implant:
Silicone vs. Saline
When considering breast augmentation, one of the first decisions is choosing between silicone and saline implants. Both are FDA-approved and widely used. The right choice depends on your anatomy, aesthetic goals, and personal preference.
Silicone Implants:
Silicone implants are pre-filled with a cohesive silicone gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. They are available in a range of profiles, sizes, and shapes — including round and teardrop (form-stable) options.
FDA-approved for women 22 and older.
If a rupture occurs, the gel typically remains within the implant shell or the surrounding pocket, making the rupture harder to detect. Periodic MRI or ultrasound monitoring is recommended.
Pros: Natural feel, less prone to visible rippling.
Cons: Requires a slightly larger incision; rupture monitoring is more involved.
Saline Implants:
Saline implants are inserted empty and filled with sterile salt water after placement, which allows for minor size adjustments during surgery and requires a smaller incision.
FDA-approved for women 18 and older.
If a saline implant ruptures, the body safely absorbs the saline solution and the size change is immediately visible.
Pros: Smaller incision possible; rupture is immediately detectable
Cons: More prone to visible rippling; may feel firmer than silicone to some patients.
Fat transfer breast augmentation uses liposuction to harvest fat from another area of the body — such as the abdomen or flanks — which is then purified and injected into the breasts. This option is appropriate for patients seeking modest, natural-looking enhancement without implants. Results depend on the rate at which the transferred fat is retained, which varies by patient.
Your surgeon will discuss all options during your consultation and help you determine which approach aligns with your anatomy and goals.

How It's done
Breast augmentation at Plano Plastic Surgery is performed under general anesthesia in our on-site AAAASF-accredited surgical suite. The procedure typically takes one to two hours.
Your surgeon begins by making an incision in the predetermined location. The most common placement is in the natural crease beneath the breast (inframammary fold), which allows the scar to remain hidden. Other incision options — around the areola or in the armpit — may be appropriate in certain cases and will be discussed during your consultation.
A pocket is created either directly behind the breast tissue (subglandular) or beneath the pectoral muscle (submuscular). Implant placement is determined by your anatomy, implant type, and the look you are trying to achieve. The implant is then positioned and centered, both sides are assessed for symmetry, and the incisions are closed in layers.
Patients go home the same day with a surgical bra and post-operative care instructions. A follow-up appointment is typically scheduled within one week.
Who is a Good Candidate?
Breast augmentation may be right for you if you are looking to restore volume lost after pregnancy or breastfeeding, improve the symmetry or proportion of your breasts, or achieve a fuller silhouette that better reflects how you see yourself.
Ideal candidates are individuals who:
- Are in good general health with realistic expectations about outcomes
- Want to enhance the size and shape of their breasts for personal reasons
- Have experienced a decrease in breast volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
- Want to correct breast asymmetry
- Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
Patients who are considering future pregnancies should discuss timing with their surgeon. Pregnancy can alter the results of breast augmentation, though the procedure does not affect the ability to become pregnant. Breast augmentation does not typically prevent breastfeeding, but this depends on the incision type and implant placement — an important topic to raise during your consultation.
A thorough consultation with your surgeon is the only way to determine individual suitability. Our team will review your health history, discuss your goals, and give you an honest assessment of what breast augmentation can and cannot achieve for you.

FAQ
How much does breast augmentation cost in Plano, TX?
The cost of breast augmentation depends on the implant type selected, the surgical technique, anesthesia, and facility fees. Exact pricing is provided during your consultation. Patient financing options are available — ask our team about payment plans.
How long do breast implants last?
Modern breast implants are durable but are not considered lifetime devices. Many patients go ten to twenty years or more without requiring replacement. Implants may need to be revised if a rupture occurs, capsular contracture develops, or you want a size or style change.
What is the difference between breast augmentation and a breast lift?
Breast augmentation adds volume using implants or fat transfer. A breast lift (mastopexy) repositions and reshapes the breast tissue without adding volume. Many patients benefit from both procedures performed together. Your surgeon will help you determine the right approach during your consultation.
Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation?
Yes. Breast augmentation is frequently combined with a breast lift, especially for patients who have experienced volume loss and sagging after pregnancy. It is also commonly part of a mommy makeover alongside a tummy tuck and liposuction. Your surgeon will advise on the safest and most effective combination for your goals.
How long is breast augmentation recovery?
Most patients return to desk work within five to seven days and resume exercise at four to six weeks. Final results are typically visible at three to six months as swelling resolves and implants settle.
Is breast augmentation performed at your Plano location?
Yes. All breast augmentation procedures are performed in our AAAASF-accredited on-site surgical suite at 4100 W 15th Street, Suite 106, Plano, TX 75093.
