Breast Augmentation Overview

Sometimes, no amount of diet or exercise can provide the curves or volume you envision for your body. Whether you are looking to restore fullness lost after pregnancy and weight loss, or you simply want to achieve a more balanced and harmonious figure, you deserve to feel completely confident in your own skin. At NewSkin™ in Bellevue, WA, our board-certified surgeons specialize in breast augmentation, providing stunning, natural-looking results that beautifully complement your unique physique.

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, clinically known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to increase the size, adjust the shape, and enhance the overall fullness of the breasts. Unlike a breast lift—which removes excess skin to elevate sagging tissue—or a breast reduction, augmentation focuses strictly on adding volume and contour through the precise placement of breast implants.

By carefully selecting the right implant size, profile, and placement, we can create a customized enhancement that looks and feels entirely natural.

Customized For Your Body: Implant Options

We understand that no two bodies are alike. During your consultation, we will guide you through your options to ensure a personalized result:

  • Silicone Implants: Filled with a cohesive silicone gel, these implants closely mimic the density and feel of natural breast tissue, making them a highly popular choice for a soft, natural result.
  • Saline Implants: Filled with sterile saltwater, saline implants offer uniform shape and firmness, with the advantage of requiring a slightly smaller incision for placement.
  • Fat Transfer: Utilizing your own fat from unwanted areas, you can augment the breast utilizing fat for a natural enhancement.
  • Implant Placement: Depending on your anatomy and goals, implants can be placed subglandularly (over the chest muscle) or submuscularly (under the chest muscle) to achieve the most seamless transition and a natural, sleek slope.

What Are the Benefits of Breast Augmentation?

Choosing to undergo breast enhancement at NewSkin™ offers benefits that extend far beyond physical appearance. Patients consistently experience:

  • Enhanced Volume and Fullness: Achieve the cup size, projection, and cleavage you have always desired.
  • Improved Body Proportions: Balance your silhouette by creating beautiful harmony between your upper and lower body.
  • Restored Shape: Regain the volume and youthful shape that is often lost due to pregnancy, nursing, or significant weight fluctuations.
  • Correction of Asymmetry: Address natural differences in breast size or shape for a more uniform, even appearance.
  • A Surge in Self-Confidence: Reconnect with the most confident, vibrant version of yourself and enjoy the way your clothes and swimwear fit.

Is Breast Augmentation Right for Me?

Breast augmentation is a highly personal decision. The ideal candidate for this procedure at our Bellevue clinic is someone in good overall physical health with realistic expectations for their aesthetic outcome.

You may be an excellent candidate if you feel your breasts are disproportionately small, lack symmetry, or have lost their natural fullness over time.

During your private consultation, we will listen to your concerns, evaluate your anatomy, and help you determine if breast augmentation is the right path toward your desired transformation. Contact our team today to schedule your personalized consultation.

What to Expect: The Treatment Process

  • Comprehensive Consultation: We begin with an in-depth conversation about your aesthetic goals. We will discuss implant types, sizing, and surgical techniques to design a plan tailored exclusively to your frame.
  • The Surgery: Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia, ensuring your complete comfort and safety. The surgery typically takes one to two hours.
  • Precise Placement: Using advanced, highly skilled surgical techniques, your surgeon will make discreet incisions—often hidden within the natural breast crease or around the areola—to carefully place the implants.
  • Closing and Care: The incisions are meticulously closed with specialized sutures to minimize scarring, and you will be placed in a supportive surgical garment to aid your healing process.

Recovery & Results

Following your breast augmentation, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and soreness, which is entirely normal and manageable. Most NewSkin™ patients feel ready to return to work and light, non-strenuous activities within one week. We advise avoiding heavy lifting and rigorous upper-body exercise for about four to six weeks to ensure optimal healing.

As the initial swelling subsides over the first few months, your implants will naturally "drop and fluff," settling into their final, beautiful position. With proper care, the customized, transformative results of your breast augmentation will be long-lasting.

Why Choose NewSkin™?

At NewSkin™, we believe that true aesthetic medicine is about facilitating an inward transformation toward profound confidence. We do not believe in a one-size-fits-all approach or an "overdone" aesthetic.

Under the expert guidance of our team of dedicated professionals, every breast augmentation is meticulously planned to enhance your natural beauty rather than overshadow it. We combine advanced surgical techniques with an upscale, compassionate environment to ensure your journey is safe, comfortable, and entirely focused on you.

Based on search volumes FAQs

Will breast augmentation fix my sagging breasts?

No, breast augmentation is designed strictly to add volume. If you have significant skin laxity or sagging, a breast lift (mastopexy) is required to remove excess skin and elevate the tissue. We frequently perform lifts and augmentations together for patients who want both volume and a more youthful breast position.

How long do breast implants last?

While modern implants are incredibly durable and safe, they are not considered lifetime devices. Many of our patients enjoy their beautiful results for 10 to 15 years or more before considering a replacement or revision.

Are the scars noticeable?

Our board-certified surgeons use advanced techniques to place incisions in naturally concealed areas, such as the inframammary fold (the crease under the breast) or the border of the areola. Over time, and with proper aftercare, these scars fade significantly and become very discreet.

Will I lose nipple sensation?

Temporary changes in nipple sensation—either numbness or hypersensitivity—are common immediately following surgery. For the vast majority of patients, normal sensation returns completely as the nerves heal over the course of a few months.

Can I still breastfeed after getting implants?

Yes, most women can successfully breastfeed after breast augmentation. During your consultation, we will discuss incision and placement options (such as an under-the-muscle placement and avoiding periareolar incisions) to best preserve your milk ducts and nerves if future breastfeeding is a priority for you.

When can I go shopping for new bras?

We typically recommend waiting about six weeks, or until your surgeon gives you clinical clearance, before purchasing underwire bras. Your breasts will change shape and size as swelling resolves and the implants settle into their final position.
