Improvements From Breast Augmentation
The reasons for choosing breast augmentation may differ between patients, but most have thought about making the change for months or even years. Dr. Calobrace and Dr. Quintero perform this procedure to provide one or more of the following improvements:
- Increased breast size
- Enhanced cleavage
- Restored volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight loss
- Balance and proportion with the lower body
- Breast symmetry
Transgender women have similar options with top surgery. Watch as we walk you through the full process of breast augmentation surgery, from the initial consultation to the post-op visit.
*Keep in mind that each patient is unique, and your results may vary.
What Is Breast Augmentation Revision?
Revision surgery is a procedure performed to improve the results of a previous procedure. Dr. Calobrace and Dr. Quintero perform revision breast surgery to correct complications or unsatisfactory results from breast augmentation. They also perform elective implant exchange for cosmetic reasons and breast implant removal for patients who do not want their implants replaced.
Can I Combine Other Procedures With My Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Dr. Calobrace and Dr. Quintero frequently combine breast augmentation with other plastic surgery procedures, such as a tummy tuck and liposuction for a mommy makeover. Women appreciate attaining multiple improvements with a single surgery and recovery period.

How Long Does It Take To Recover From Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Recovery from breast augmentation depends on several factors, including whether your implants are placed under or on top of the chest muscle, the type of incision, and the size of your implants, but generally follows this timeline.
First 1 to 2 Days
Most patients experience minor soreness and swelling. Sleeping in a recliner or propped up with pillows will help you sleep on your back and minimize swelling. Your plastic surgeon will prescribe oral pain medication you can use to control discomfort, if needed. Expect to be up and walking on the day of surgery, but not driving. Also, consider arranging care from a friend or family member for the first 24 hours following surgery, and possibly a day or so longer.
Whether you want the latest non-surgical aesthetic procedures or you desire a relaxing day spa experience, CaloSpa® Rejuvenation Center is ready to serve you.
Other Things to Know
You will need to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for one month or more, as directed by your surgeon. Scars will fade gradually from pink to white within several months to a year. Supportive garments will help your results take shape and last for as long as possible.
Recheck Appointment
You will have a follow-up appointment approximately 3 to 6 days after surgery.
Return to Work
Most patients are ready to return to their everyday activities within 1 to 2 weeks.
Breast Augmentation FAQs
What’s the difference between breast augmentation and breast implants?
Breast augmentation is the name of the surgical procedure; breast implants are the medical devices used to make the breasts larger (augment them).
Can I breastfeed after getting a breast augmentation?
If you let your plastic surgeon know about your desire to breastfeed in the future, your surgery should not impact your plan. During the surgery, your plastic surgeon can take special care to avoid the milk glands and associated nerves.
Are breast implants worth it?
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular procedures in our practice. Women with realistic expectations for recovery and their results are some of our happiest patients.
My breasts are different sizes. Can breast augmentation help even them out?
Yes. The human body is often naturally asymmetrical. When it comes to the breasts, we can balance their sizes by placing an implant in the smaller breast only or by placing implants of different sizes to enlarge both breasts (one more than the other).
Will my breasts feel real?
Silicone gel implants placed below the muscle provide results that feel very much like natural breasts. Learn more in this blog post.
I had breast augmentation a month ago, and my breasts look high and tight. What can I do?
After breast implants are placed, the breast skin and chest muscle take a few months to stretch and relax — allowing the implants to “drop and settle” into a natural, attractive shape. In most cases, patience is all that is required. You can call our office or wait until your next follow-up appointment to discuss your concerns with your surgeon.
How safe is breast augmentation surgery?
The safety of breast augmentation is optimized when the plastic surgeon, surgical facility, and patient are all carefully chosen. If you start by choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon, they will make sure you’re a good candidate and perform the procedure in a safe setting.
Will I need to have my implants replaced at some point?
Many patients do not need to replace their breast implants, although these medical devices are not meant to last a lifetime. If you have no concerns and are happy with your breast size and shape, you do not need to have your implants replaced.
