Breast augmentation is a specialized surgical procedure designed to enhance your silhouette and restore confidence. Whether you’re seeking to increase breast size, improve symmetry, or restore volume lost after pregnancy or weight changes, Dr. Robey provides customized solutions to help you achieve your desired look.

Many women choose breast augmentation for both aesthetic and personal reasons. Dr. Robey understands that each patient’s situation is unique and approaches each case with careful consideration of individual needs and goals.

Comprehensive Options for Your Transformation

At Robey Plastic Surgery, we offer multiple breast augmentation techniques to ensure your results align perfectly with your vision:

Silicone (Gummy) Implants

Known for their natural feel and appearance, silicone implants consist of a silicone shell filled with cohesive silicone gel that closely mimics natural breast tissue.

Saline Implants

Filled with a sterile saltwater solution, saline implants offer flexibility in sizing and require smaller incisions as they’re filled after placement.

Profile Options

Choose from extra full, full, moderate and low plus and low profile implants to match your body frame and desired projection.

Fat Transfer

A natural alternative using your own body fat to enhance breast volume without implants.

Augmentation with Lift

Combines implant placement with a breast lift to address both volume and position concerns.

Revision Augmentation

Specialized procedures to improve or update previous breast augmentation results.

Customized Surgical Approaches

Internal Support Options

Gravity exerts its effects on all of us. To help support the extra weight of an implant, much like an internal bra, Dr. Robey is able to add absorbable materials to reinforce submuscular pockets or provide a full layer of extra support in subglandular or subfascial pockets.

  • Galaflex/Durasorb – the absorbable mesh options can be used to improve tissue strength to support your implant
  • Alloderm – an acellular dermal matrix can also be used to support implant weight and reinforce pockets
  • Autoderm – your own dermis (if you have excess) can also be used much like Alloderm is utilized for support purposes

Implant Placement

Your implants can be placed in one of two positions:

  • Submuscular (under the muscle): This provides additional tissue coverage over the implant, creating a more natural slope and reducing the risk of visible rippling. It is ideal for patients with minimal natural breast tissue.
  • Subglandular / Subfascial (over the muscle): Placed between your natural breast tissue and chest muscle. This technique often results in less discomfort during recovery and can be appropriate for patients with adequate natural breast tissue coverage.

Breast Augmentation Journey

Request Your Consultation

01 - Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, during which Dr. Robey discusses your aesthetic goals, medical history, and available options. We encourage you to bring or wear a non-padded bra or shelf tank top to help visualize potential outcomes. During this visit, you can “try on” different implant sizes using special sizers to help determine your ideal breast enhancement.

02 - Pre-Surgery Preparation

We provide detailed pre-operative instructions, including guidelines for medications to avoid before surgery, recommended diet and hydration protocols, preparations for your recovery period and what to wear on surgery day. You will also be sent in your prescriptions prior to surgery so they can be picked up prior to your recovery period.

03 - Day of Surgery

Breast augmentation is an outpatient surgery performed under general anesthesia. You’ll be able to return home the same day with a responsible adult to drive you home and start your recovery.

04 - Recovery

  • First 24-48 Hours: Rest with reduced arm movement; manage discomfort with prescribed medication
  • First Week: Continued limited activity with gradual introduction of light movements
  • 2-3 Weeks: Return to non-strenuous work and daily activities. Can resume low level cardiovascular exercise.
  • 4-6 Weeks: Gradual return to more vigorous activities. At six weeks, you will likely be cleared from your weightlifting restrictions.
  • 8+ Weeks: Full return to all activities, including high-impact exercise and weight lifting. You will want to slowly ramp up your physical activities to the extent that they are tolerated. Dr. Robey and her team remain available to address any questions or concerns throughout your recovery.

05 - Aftercare

Following your procedure, proper care is essential for optimal results. We’ll give you the instructions to follow. You’ll need to wear your surgical support bra as directed, typically 24/7 for the first several weeks. Take prescribed medications according to schedule and keep incision sites clean and protected according to our detailed care instructions.

Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor your healing progress. Follow activity restrictions to prevent complications and support proper healing. Stay well-hydrated and maintain a nutritious diet to support recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I get saline or silicone implants?

It depends on your personal preference. In Dr. Robey’s experience, most patients find that silicone implants feel more like natural breast tissue than saline implants. Both options are well-studied and safe.

Will breast implants affect my ability to breastfeed?

Many women with breast implants successfully breastfeed. During your consultation, Dr. Robey will discuss incision options that may help preserve breast tissue and milk ducts. This should be emphasized during your planning discussions if future breastfeeding is important to you.

What is the recovery period like?

Most patients return to light activities within a week and resume regular daily routines within two to three weeks. Most patients appreciate feeling fully recovered in 6-8 weeks. Dr. Robey provides detailed guidelines for recovery customized to your specific procedure and health status.
