Understanding Breast Augmentation: How It Restores a Youthful Appearance

Loss of breast volume or changes in breast shape can occur for a number of reasons, including aging, weight loss, pregnancy, or simply the natural effects of time. For many women, these changes can leave them feeling less confident or disconnected from their appearance. Breast augmentation offers a long-trusted solution to help restore youthful, natural-looking volume while helping patients feel more like themselves again.

At Panacea Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, GA, our team of board-certified plastic surgeons is proud to provide personalized breast augmentation procedures tailored to each patient's individual goals. Here's a closer look at how breast implants can help create a more youthful figure and a renewed sense of self-confidence.

What does breast augmentation help with?

Breast augmentation is designed to increase or restore breast volume using implants or fat transfer. While many people associate implants with dramatic results, breast augmentation can also be subtle and natural when performed with a focus on balance and proportion. Our plastic surgeons listen closely to your goals, preferences, and lifestyle to create a surgical plan that complements your body — whether that means regaining breast volume after pregnancy or achieving a fuller breast size and shape for the first time.

Will breast implants make my breasts perkier?

As women age, their breasts can begin to lose volume and projection. Breast augmentation helps counteract these effects by improving shape, firmness, and contour. Some of the most common cosmetic concerns that can be addressed with breast augmentation include:

• Loss of fullness
• Flat or deflated-looking breasts
• Mild asymmetry
• Lack of upper pole volume
• Change in shape following pregnancy or weight loss

In many cases, patients also choose to combine breast augmentation with a lift to further address sagging and restore a more youthful, lifted position.

What types of implants are used in breast augmentation?

There are several options available when it comes to breast implants, each offering unique benefits. Our surgeons work closely with each patient to determine the implant type, size, and shape that aligns with their aesthetic goals and body structure. Options for implants commonly include:

• Silicone implants
• Saline implants
• Gummy bear (form-stable) implants

During your consultation, our team will walk you through the pros and cons of each kind of breast implant and help you feel confident in your decision.

How can I maintain my breast augmentation results over time?

Although breast implants provide long-lasting improvement, lifestyle factors and natural aging can still impact the look and feel of the results over time. To help maintain results after breast augmentation, our team recommends:

• Maintaining a stable weight
• Wearing supportive bras when needed
• Following all postoperative instructions carefully
• Returning for routine follow-ups
• Avoiding tobacco products

With thoughtful care, many patients enjoy their breast augmentation results for a decade or longer, and revisions can be discussed down the line if needed.
