Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance breast volume, improve symmetry, and refine proportions.
Breast surgery patients may choose silicone or saline breast implants, or fat transfer for a more minor result. Dr. Gibstein works closely with each patient to design results that are elegant, proportional, designed to mimic your natural breast tissue, and aligned with their overall aesthetic vision.
On the day of your cosmetic procedure, you will be welcomed into Dr. Gibstein’s AAAASF-accredited plastic surgery facility, where safety and comfort are paramount. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 1–2 hours.
For breast implant surgery, incisions are placed in discreet locations, such as under the breast crease or around the areola, to minimize visible scarring. Breast implants are then placed with meticulous precision to achieve the desired size, contour, and balance.
For fat transfer breast augmentation surgery (autologous fat grafting), Dr. Gibstein will harvest excess fat from another area of the body, purify it, and inject the fat into the breasts, paying precise attention to breast shape, symmetry, and proportion.
Breast implants can be placed above or below the chest (pectoralis) muscles, depending on your specific goals and implant selection. Typically, sub-pectoral implant insertion delivers the most natural-looking results with ample soft tissue coverage. However, certain athletes may choose to keep their implants above the muscles to prevent changes to muscular activity and function.
Breast augmentation helps women who feel their breasts are too small, asymmetrical, or have lost fullness due to pregnancy, weight changes, or aging. The procedure can increase breast size and projection, correct breast asymmetry, and refine overall proportions, helping patients feel more confident in and out of clothing.
Breast augmentation with implants is focused exclusively on enhancing the size and shape of the breasts. However, fat transfer to the breasts involves liposuction to another area of the body, delivering dual body contouring benefits.
Breast augmentation patients enjoy fuller, shapelier breasts, improved symmetry, and enhanced confidence in their appearance. Clothing and swimwear often fit more comfortably, and many patients experience an overall boost in self-esteem. With Dr. Gibstein’s refined plastic surgery techniques, results are natural and elegant, avoiding the "overdone" or disproportionate look.
Candidates include healthy women who wish to increase breast size, restore lost volume, or achieve better symmetry.
Patients should have realistic expectations and be free of conditions that may impair healing. A personal consultation with Dr. Gibstein is the best way to determine if you should undergo breast augmentation.
Patients return home the same day. Swelling, tenderness, and some breast discomfort are normal in the first few days, with most patients back to work in a week. You may need to wear a surgical bra for several weeks after your procedure as your results take shape. Strenuous activity should be avoided for 4–6 weeks. Dr. Gibstein provides detailed aftercare instructions and follows up closely to ensure safe, smooth healing.
Breast implant patients typically see initial results immediately, with final shape and position settling over 2–3 months.
Implants generally last 10–15 years, though many patients enjoy results well beyond that with proper care. The outcome is a more balanced, proportional figure that feels natural and enhances confidence.
