Breast Augmentation with Natural Results
What Is Breast Augmentation?
At its core, breast augmentation involves the insertion of implants (saline or silicone) or the strategic use of fat transfer to augment breast size and contour. This dual approach allows for a broad customization spectrum, catering to a wide range of aesthetic goals — from subtle enhancements to significant alterations in breast volume.
Benefits of Breast Augmentation
Enhanced Breast Symmetry
Breast asymmetry is common yet often a source of discomfort for many women. Breast augmentation meticulously adjusts volume and shape, ensuring a harmonious symmetry that aligns with the body’s natural proportions and creates a balanced aesthetic.
Restoration After Pregnancy and Breastfeeding
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can significantly alter breast size and shape. This procedure can restore the breasts to their pre-pregnancy appearance or improve them to the patient’s desired aesthetic, rejuvenating their overall silhouette.
Improved Breast Volume and Shape
Loss of volume and changes in shape can occur with age, weight fluctuations, or genetics. Breast augmentation offers a solution by enhancing volume and sculpting a more desirable breast shape tailored to each patient’s unique body structure and aesthetic preferences.
Proportional Body Contour
For those feeling their breasts are too small for their body frame, breast augmentation can create a more proportionate and visually appealing body contour, aligning breast size with the rest of the body’s dimensions.
Expanded Clothing and Swimwear Options
A common benefit is the expanded wardrobe options with a new and improved breast size. Patients often find they can find a wider variety of clothing and swimwear styles, enjoying a fit that complements their enhanced figure.
Correction of Congenital Breast Defects
Individuals born with congenital breast defects such as micromastia (underdeveloped breasts) find breast augmentation a transformative procedure that corrects these issues, offering results that look natural and feel authentic.
Rejuvenation After Weight Loss
Significant weight loss can lead to decreased breast size and sagging. Breast augmentation can rejuvenate the breast’s appearance, adding lost volume and lifting the breast to a more youthful position.
Options for Customization
The procedure offers extensive customization options, from implant type (silicone, saline, or fat transfer) to size, shape, and placement, allowing patients to achieve their envisioned outcome with precision.
Immediate and Long-Lasting Results
Breast augmentation provides immediate results, with the full effects becoming more visible as swelling reduces. These long-lasting changes give patients years of satisfaction with their enhanced appearance.
What to Anticipate for Breast Augmentation

Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Augmentation
How Long Does Breast Augmentation Surgery Take?
Breast augmentation surgery typically lasts between one and two hours, depending on the complexity of the procedure and the specific techniques used. We ensure efficiency without compromising safety or results.
What Is the Recovery Time for Breast Augmentation?
The initial recovery period generally spans one to two weeks, during which strenuous activities should be avoided. Full recovery, including the settling of implants into their final position, can take several months, with guidance provided every step of the way.
How Often Should Breast Implants Be Replaced?
Breast implants don’t have an expiration date but may require replacement or revision over time due to personal preferences, cosmetic reasons, or, very rarely, complications. Regular check-ups with Dr. Murphy can help monitor implant condition and integrity.
How Do I Choose the Right Size and Type of Implant?
Choosing the right implant size and type is a highly personalized decision that Dr. Terrence Murphy assists with during consultation. Factors considered include your body frame, aesthetic goals, lifestyle, and available natural breast tissue. The aim is to achieve a look that is appealing and proportionate to your overall body structure.
Can I Breastfeed After Breast Augmentation?
Most women can breastfeed after undergoing breast augmentation. However, specific surgical techniques can impact this ability. It’s important to discuss your plans for breastfeeding during your consultation so that we can plan your surgery accordingly.
