Breast augmentation improves breast size, shape, and overall balance using implants or fat transfer. At Eko Plastic Surgery, breast augmentation surgery is planned around your anatomy, goals, and comfort. We welcome patients from Palm Desert and nearby communities who choose this procedure to achieve fuller, more proportionate breasts with a natural appearance.

What Is A Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure used to create larger and fuller breasts with saline or silicone gel implants. Dr. Frederick Eko also uses a more advanced technique of breast augmentation, which involves the insertion of your own fat into the breasts to increase their size.

Some women feel their natural breasts do not reflect their desired proportions and choose to enhance their appearance. Breast augmentation improves breast size and shape, helping create a more balanced and refined silhouette.

What kinds of breast implants are available?

Eko Plastic Surgery offers both silicone and saline breast implants. Silicone gel implants are made from a thick, sticky gel material that mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. Saline implants are made of a silicone shell and filled with a saline solution. Although these may not feel as natural as silicone implants, they can be inserted through smaller incisions because they are usually completely deflated during insertion.

After insertion, they can be filled to the desired level. It can reduce the size of the incisions necessary, minimizing scarring.

What is a breast augmentation with lift?

Breast augmentation with a lift may be an ideal treatment for women who would like to both enhance the size of the breasts and give them a more youthful shape. This procedure combines breast implants with a breast lift for more dramatic results.

Who Are Ideal Candidates for Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Breast augmentation candidates are adults in good overall health who want fuller breasts or improved symmetry. You may be a good candidate if your breasts feel small for your frame or have lost volume after pregnancy or weight changes. This procedure is also chosen to address visible asymmetry between breasts.

A consultation with Dr. Eko helps confirm candidacy. He will review your medical history and tissue quality and ask about your expectations. Clear planning helps support safe surgery and predictable results.

What Is the Breast Augmentation Procedure Like?

Breast augmentation usually involves an incision under the breast fold (the lower crease of the breast), around the lower part of the areola, or in the armpit. The implants are then inserted through these incisions. Implants are frequently inserted underneath the chest muscle, avoiding interference with mammograms and also producing a more natural appearance to the breasts.

Breast augmentation is typically performed on an outpatient basis, meaning you can go home after your procedure.

Breast Augmentation Recovery and Aftercare

Breast augmentation recovery occurs in stages as swelling gradually improves and implants settle into position. Most patients experience tightness and mild soreness during the first week, which decreases steadily. Daily activities resume in phases, with full exercise typically allowed after several weeks.

Following proper breast augmentation aftercare helps support healing and long-term results.

Here are a few aftercare tips:

  • Wear your surgical bra as directed to support implant positioning
  • Sleep on your back with your upper body slightly elevated
  • Limit arm movement and avoid lifting during early healing
  • Keep incisions clean and dry according to instructions
  • Attend scheduled follow-up visits to monitor progress

Visible results continue to refine over the following months as the breasts soften and achieve a natural contour.

Benefits of Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast augmentation provides physical and aesthetic enhancements tailored to your unique body. While results vary, many patients opt for this procedure due to its long-lasting structural benefits. These include:

  • Increased breast volume
  • Improved breast shape and projection
  • Better balance between the upper and lower body
  • Correction of visible asymmetry

Frequently Asked Questions

What is breast implant removal?

Breast implant removal is performed when a patient needs or wants to have their breast implants removed. In the event of a rupture or other changes in the breast implants, they may need to be removed.

In some cases, patients are unhappy with the results from their breast augmentation and choose to have them removed to either replace them with other implants or to go back to their original state. In the event of a breast implant removal, we are usually able to remove the implants using the original incisions to minimize additional scarring.

How long do breast implants last?

Breast implants are durable medical devices, but may require replacement over time. Routine follow-up visits help monitor implant condition.

What are common breast augmentation risks or side effects?

Temporary swelling, soreness, and firmness are common after surgery. Implant-related concerns are reviewed during consultation so expectations remain clear.

Can breast augmentation be combined with other procedures?

Yes. Breast augmentation is often combined with a breast lift when both volume and positioning are concerns. This option is reviewed during planning.

Will I lose sensation after surgery?

Temporary changes in sensation can occur and often improve as healing progresses. Long-term changes are less common and are discussed in advance.
