Breast Augmentation in Dallas, TX


Breast augmentation is one of the most commonly performed plastic surgery procedures. Also known as augmentation mammoplasty, our Dallas breast augmentation involves placing implants or using fat transfer to increase the size and enhance the shape of the breasts. This procedure may be performed to improve the projection of naturally small breasts, increase the volume of breasts that appear deflated, or to correct noticeable breast asymmetries. Whatever your motivation, breast augmentation can enhance your breasts, improve your figure, and boost your self-image and self-confidence.

Schedule a consultation with Dr. David Morales, our breast augmentation surgeon in Dallas, and obtain the natural and voluminous breasts you desire.

What Does Breast Augmentation Do?


Natural-Looking Enhancement


Women who are born with naturally small breasts or who have experienced breast volume loss or deflation can enhance their bustline with breast implants. Certain breast implants can give your breasts a subtle boost and help create a natural enhancement.

A Voluptuous Appearance


If you lack bold and voluptuous curves, breast enhancement can create them for you. With appropriately sized implants that are custom-selected for your body shape, breast augmentation can create sensuous curves to help your figure stand out.

A Balanced Figure


Some women have big hips but a small bust. Others may have noticeable breast asymmetries. In both cases, breast implants can create a more balanced figure that is neither bottom heavy nor asymmetrical but, instead, natural looking and proportional.

Greater Self-Confidence


Your body should reflect the person you are inside. If you are unhappy with your appearance, you may have lower self-confidence as a result. Breast augmentation can enhance your figure so that you feel more confident in your image and in yourself.

Youthful, Firm Breasts


Pregnancy, breastfeeding, significant weight loss, and aging can cause the breasts to lose their elasticity and appear deflated. Breast enlargement surgery can improve breast volume to make the breasts look and feel firmer and more youthful.

What Are My Breast Augmentation Options?


Whether you desire dramatic and voluptuous curves, subtle and natural enhancement, or something in between, your breast augmentation procedure can be entirely customized to meet your needs. During your initial consultation, Dr. Morales will evaluate your needs and help determine the best options to achieve your goals.

Filling
Material

Saline

  • A silicone shell filled with a saltwater solution
  • Creates a firmer, rounder appearance
  • FDA approved for women ages 18 and older
  • More affordable than silicone
  • Filled after implantation, requiring a smaller incision

Silicone

  • A silicone shell filled with silicone gel
  • Produces a more natural look and feel
  • FDA approved for women ages 22 and older
  • Reduced rate of rupture and rippling
  • Pre-filled

Gummy Bear

  • A silicone shell filled with highly cohesive silicone gel
  • Produces a natural look and feel
  • Form-stable shape
  • FDA approved for women ages 22 and older
  • Less prone to wrinkling
  • Pre-filled

Submuscular (under the muscle)

  • The implant is inserted beneath both the pectoral muscle and the breast tissue
  • This placement comes with a lower risk of capsular contracture, visible rippling, and inaccurate mammogram readings
  • Submuscular placement produces a more natural breast slope, particularly in patients with minimal existing breast tissue
  • The recovery after submuscular breast implant placement is longer than that of subglandular placement, but many patients report a satisfactory result

Subglandular (above the muscle)

  • The implant is inserted above the pectoral muscle but beneath the breast tissue
  • Patients who opt for subglandular placement may have enhanced cleavage, but there is also a higher risk of visible rippling and noticeable implant edges
  • This placement involves less tissue trauma, which leads to a shorter recovery

Incision
Location

Periareolar

  • The incision goes around the areola of the breast
  • Scarring blends with the edge of the areola
  • Allows for moderate control over implant placement, but has an increased risk of changes in nipple sensation

Inframammary

  • The incision extends along the crease beneath the breast
  • Scarring is more extensive but can be hidden by clothing
  • Preferred by many surgeons for the ability to accommodate any implant type and the reduced risk of complications

Transaxillary

  • The incision is placed within the armpit
  • Leaves no scars on the breasts/ referred to as a “scarless breast augmentation”
  • Limits implant types and limits control over breast implant placement

Patients who are concerned about visible implant edges or planning to undergo a breast reconstruction procedure may be candidates for augmentation using fat transfer. Fat is first removed from a donor site using liposuction. Then it is processed to remove excess liquid and impurities. The purified fat is injected into the breasts to conceal the implant edges or produce a natural-looking breast slope.

While fat grafting or fat transfer to the breasts (also known as natural breast augmentation) cannot increase the volume of the breasts to the same extent as implants, it does allow for a subtle increase, which can be beneficial for women with minimal natural breast tissue. This technique also avoids any potential complications associated with breast implants.

Fat transfer to the breast can be performed alone or in combination with an implant.

What Is Breast Augmentation Surgery?


The Breast Augmentation Procedure

Breast augmentation with implants is performed on an outpatient basis. This one-hour procedure is performed under general anesthesia so that you will be asleep for the duration of the surgery. Dr. Morales will operate through the previously determined incision location, creating a pocket in each breast for the implants. He will then insert the implants, centering them beneath the nipples before closing the incisions with sutures.

How to Prepare for Breast Augmentation Surgery

Prior to your breast augmentation, you will need to avoid using certain medications and supplements, including NSAIDS or blood thinning medications. Since your surgery is performed using general anesthesia, you will need to arrange for a responsible adult to take you home after your procedure and, ideally, stay with you for the first 24 hours.

You will need to rest and refrain from most activities for about a week, so before your surgery, you should prepare a recovery area at home. This may include pillows to help elevate your upper body to minimize swelling, electronics and chargers (including your phone, tablets, and television remotes), and water and snacks. Fill your prescriptions beforehand, and ensure you have any incision care supplies prepared as well. You won’t be able to drive or lift anything over five pounds, so arranging transportation for kids and planning grocery or meal deliveries is also helpful.


Recovery Experience

Your breasts will be bandaged and wrapped in a compression garment to minimize swelling. Swelling, bruising, and tenderness are common during recovery. Prescribed medications can ease any pain or discomfort. Patients should limit upper body/chest movement to reduce strain to the operated-on areas. Most patients return to work after one week. Dr. Morales recommends waiting at least four weeks before resuming strenuous exercises. Additional postoperative instructions will be given to you at your consultation.

Cost

The cost of breast augmentation in Dallas, Texas, varies depending on your implant type, incision location, and other factors such as the surgeon’s fees, facility fees, and anesthesia fees. A detailed price quote will be provided for you during your consultation.

Financing options are available to help you make your dream procedure a reality.


Results

While you will be eager to see your final breast augmentation results, it can take several weeks or months for your full results to develop. Your breasts will first appear to rest higher on your chest, but by a few months after surgery, your implants will settle into a more aesthetically pleasing position. This is referred to as the “drop and fluff” stage. Your results will be long lasting and will reveal your newly enhanced body shape.

Frequently Asked Questions


Breast augmentation enhances breast volume but does not lift sagging breasts. If you wish for a more uplifted appearance, your breast augmentation can be combined with breast lift surgery to simultaneously enhance breast volume and breast placement.
There are multiple implant characteristics that every breast augmentation candidate must choose between. In addition to implant type, these include implant profile, texture, shape, and size. During your personal consultation, Dr. Morales will offer a detailed description of each of these characteristics to help you choose the implants that will best fit your needs.
Choosing the right implant size is one of the biggest concerns that women have about breast augmentation. Implant size is not measured in cups but in cubic centimeters, and even two women with the same size implants will not look the same. The end result depends on size, other implant characteristics, and your natural body shape. It is important that you discuss your desires in detail with Dr. Morales so that with his expertise and experience, he can recommend an appropriate implant size for you.
Like any major surgery, breast augmentation presents a risk of side effects. These include bleeding, infection, adverse reactions to the anesthesia, scarring, capsular contracture, unsatisfactory results, implant rupture, and other complications. Dr. Morales offers breast revision surgery to help women who experience unanticipated side effects from breast augmentation. If you are experiencing any serious side effects from your past or current breast augmentation procedure, please contact Dr. Morales in Dallas, TX immediately. Therefore, any risk can be rectify or mitigate before it become irreversable.
One of the biggest complaints from women after breast augmentation is that they wish they chose a larger implant. Alternatively, there are also women on the other side of the spectrum who wish they opted for a more subtle enhancement. Implants can be swapped with a breast revision procedure. If you are not experiencing any complications with the scar tissue (capsular contracture), this is a very simple procedure. Dr. Morales can remove the original implants — often through the augmentation incision — and insert the new implants. Some women choose to combine this technique with a breast lift if they are noticing that their breasts are starting to sag.
The choice to undergo breast augmentation, as well as the appropriate timing for it, is highly personal. If you anticipate becoming pregnant in the near future, it is generally recommended to postpone your procedure. However, if having children is in the more distant future for you, the choice is up to you. Women who are concerned about the ability to breastfeed after breast augmentation should choose the inframammary incision location to minimize the risk of complications.
Breast augmentation is commonly combined with breast lift surgery, liposuction, tummy tuck surgery, and other procedures that enhance body shape. If you are interested in combining procedures with a breast augmentation, during your consultation with Dr. Morales in Dallas, TX, he can recommend procedures that can help you achieve your aesthetic goals.
Breast implants are long lasting; however, they are not designed to be permanent. Most women consider replacing their implants within 10 to 15 years. That being said, many implants last much longer than that, whereas other implants experience complications sooner. While there is absolutely no reason to replace your implants within that timeframe if you are not experiencing complications, it is wise to be on the lookout for anything that may arise.
No, insurance does not typically cover the cost of breast augmentation surgery. It is considered an elective cosmetic procedure, which isn’t paid for by insurance. However, in some cases (such as after a mastectomy), your breast augmentation may be covered, so it’s worth checking with your insurance provider.
