What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation, a form of plastic surgery, is a procedure aimed to enhance the appearance of breasts by increasing their size or improving their shape.
It involves the placement of implants under the breast tissue or chest muscles. Many women opt for this procedure to address concerns such as breast asymmetry, loss of volume due to pregnancy or aging, or simply to achieve
a desired aesthetic look. Technological advancements have made breast augmentation safer, with refined surgical techniques and advanced implant options contributing to shorter recovery periods, thus enhancing accessibility.

Saline Implants
Composed of a silicone shell filled with saline solution, these implants are adjustable during surgery and may be preferred for their lower cost. However, they may feel less natural and have a higher risk of rippling.
Gummy Bear Implants
These implants feature highly cohesive gel for durability and shape retention, making them less likely to leak or rupture while providing a natural look and feel.
Candidates for Breast Augmentation Surgery
Ideal candidates for breast augmentation typically include individuals who:
- Have naturally small breasts or have experienced volume loss due to factors like pregnancy, weight loss, or aging.
- Seeking improved symmetry between your breasts.
- Should be in good overall health with no significant medical conditions.
- Want to boost self-confidence and improve body image.
- Maintain realistic expectations regarding the results of the treatment.
- Non-smokers or those willing to quit before and after surgery.
Additionally, consideration of future pregnancies and breastfeeding is essential, as these factors impact long-term results. It’s also important for candidates to understand potential risks, including complications like capsular contracture, where scar tissue forms around the implant.

Enhance Appearance
& Correct Asymmetry
With breast augmentation, you can achieve not only the preferred size and shape of your breasts but also address any existing asymmetry for a more balanced and proportionate look tailored to your aesthetic goals.
Our Breast
Augmentation Procedure
Your breast augmentation starts with an initial consultation with our expert cosmetic surgeon. Here, our surgeon conducts a physical examination, discusses aesthetic goals, and surgical options. Once a customized plan is created, the surgical process typically follows these steps:
Anesthesia Administration
Before the plastic surgery begins, you will receive general anesthesia for your comfort and safety during surgery while allowing our surgeon to perform the procedure with precision and care.
Incision Placement
Our highly skilled cosmetic surgeon will carefully make an incision based on your individual anatomy and the type of implant chosen. Common options for incision locations include:
- Inframammary Incision: Made along the inframammary fold, providing direct access to breast tissue for precise implant placement and resulting in well-hidden scars beneath the breast.
- Periareolar Incision: Placed along the lower border of the areola, seamlessly blending with surrounding breast skin, offering excellent camouflage.
- Transaxillary Incision: Positioned within the natural crease of the armpit, this minimizes scarring on the breast while allowing implant placement through a tunnel to the breast area.
Implant Placement
Once the incisions are made, our surgeon carefully creates pockets beneath the chest muscle or within the breast tissue to accommodate the breast implants. After the implants are positioned securely within the breast pockets, Dr. Bailey will meticulously evaluate symmetry, shape, and positioning to ensure a natural-looking result.
Closure of Incisions
Following the placement of the implants, the incisions are carefully closed using sutures to minimize scarring and promote optimal healing for the best possible outcome.
Furthermore, our clinic offers breast lift procedures as an additional surgery to address concerns such as sagging or drooping breasts. Whether you are considering breast augmentation alone or in combination with a breast lift, our highly skilled cosmetic surgeon will guide you through personalized consultations to know the most suitable treatment for achieving your desired results.
Breast Augmentation Post-operative Care
It’s normal for most patients to experience some discomfort, swelling, and bruising after surgery, but rest assured, these are expected parts
of the healing process. Pain management strategies are tailored to each patient’s needs, utilizing medications or ice packs to alleviate discomfort while minimizing side effects. It’s important to follow activity restrictions during the initial recovery phase, avoiding strenuous activities and heavy lifting to allow your body time to heal properly. We’ll arrange follow-up appointments to monitor your progress, assess outcomes, and address any questions or concerns you may have. Long-term care involves maintaining a healthy lifestyle, attending check-ups, and observing
for any indications of complications to ensure lasting results and your overall well-being.

Botox & Fillers
I’ve came to Dr. Bailey for years now and have always had the highest quality experience!!! He always goes above and beyond to make sure the procedure for Botox and Filler are pain free. In my 20’s I struggled with extremely bad migraines, at least 3 per month. Once I started Botox with Dr.Bailey they were completely alleviated and of course the cosmetic results were top notch as well. The entire office staff has always made me feel very comfortable and at ease. I truly feel like they care about me and I’m not “just another patient”. I am always 💯 pleased with my results. Dr. Collin Bailey is the BEST!! His unmatchable expertise keeps me coming back!!!!

Breast Lift & Implants
“I was intimidated when I first came in but I was greeted at the door and Dr. Bailey’s staff was so nice and made me feel so welcomed. When I was having my consultation I felt insecure about myself but Dr. Bailey and his staff made me feel at ease. They were willing to tell me all my options and explain the procedure thoroughly. I am so happy I moved forward with a breast lift and my implants are a perfect size as well. I am feeling and looking better than ever! I have more confidence and overall feel better about myself. I couldn’t recommend this facility more! I keep telling my friends to come in for consultation so they can have a great experience like I did.”
