Overview

Breast augmentation enhances breast volume and shape using either silicone or saline implants, or autologous fat transfer. Dr. Kieu offers a comprehensive range of implant types, sizes, and placement options to achieve results that look and feel natural while complementing your body proportions.

Who This Is For

  • Women seeking increased breast volume or fullness
  • Patients with breast asymmetry that affects clothing fit
  • Those restoring volume lost after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
  • Individuals considering reconstruction after breast surgery

Who This Is Not For

  • Women who are currently pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Patients with active breast infections or untreated abnormal mammogram findings
  • Those with unrealistic expectations about breast size or shape
  • Individuals with body dysmorphic disorder focused on the breasts

The Process

1

Consultation & 3D Imaging: Dr. Kieu evaluates your breast anatomy, chest wall dimensions, and skin quality. The Vectra 3D imaging system allows you to visualize potential outcomes with different implant options.

2

Implant Selection: You choose from silicone gel, saline, or structured implants, considering size, profile, texture, and incision location (inframammary, periareolar, or transaxillary).

3

Surgery: Performed under general anesthesia, typically lasting 1-2 hours. The implant is placed either submuscular (under the chest muscle) or subglandular (over the muscle) based on your anatomy and goals.

4

Recovery: Most patients return to work within one week. Physical activity is gradually reintroduced over 4-6 weeks. Final results settle over 3-6 months as the implants drop into their natural position.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which implant type is best?
There is no single best implant type — each has advantages. Silicone gel implants feel most natural and are preferred by most patients. Saline implants use smaller incisions and allow for volume adjustments. Dr. Kieu will recommend the optimal choice based on your anatomy and goals.
How long do breast implants last?
Modern implants are designed to last 10-20 years, but they are not lifetime devices. Regular monitoring with ultrasound or MRI is recommended to check for silent rupture, especially with silicone implants.
Will breast augmentation affect breastfeeding?
Many women successfully breastfeed after augmentation. The ability to breastfeed depends more on the incision location — periareolar incisions carry a slightly higher risk of affecting milk ducts than inframammary incisions.
What is the recovery like?
Most patients describe the first 2-3 days as moderately uncomfortable, managed with oral medication. A support bra is worn for several weeks. Most return to desk work within one week and full activity by 6 weeks.
