Breast augmentation (implant surgery) enhances size, shape and proportion using modern silicone or saline implants and tailored pocket placement. Our board-supervised approach combines precise measurements, 3D sizing, and scar-smart technique to deliver natural, symmetrical results that suit your body and lifestyle. We prioritize safety, individualized planning, and ongoing follow-up so you get the look you want with predictable recovery.
Who this is for
Patients seeking fuller or more balanced breast volume, improved breast symmetry, or replacement/revision of prior implants—who are in good health, have realistic expectations, and want care guided by an experienced surgical team.
What to expect
Your consultation includes a focused exam, discussion of implant types (silicone vs. saline), incision and pocket options (submuscular vs. subglandular), and 3D sizing or sizers to preview results. Surgery is scheduled under appropriate anaesthesia with scar-smart closures; expect initial swelling and soreness, a supportive bra or garment, and staged follow-up visits to monitor healing and implant position. Most patients return to light activity within 1–2 weeks and resume full activity per your surgeon’s guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are the most common questions we hear about Breast Augmentation in Burlington
What is breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that uses implants (silicone or saline) or fat transfer to increase breast volume, improve symmetry, and refine breast shape for a more proportionate silhouette.
Who is a good candidate for breast augmentation?
Good candidates are adults in overall good health who want fuller breasts, improved symmetry, or implant revision—patients should have realistic expectations and be ready for a personalized surgical plan reviewed during consultation in Burlington.
What implant options are available (silicone vs. saline)?
Silicone implants are popular for a natural feel and smooth contour; saline implants are filled with sterile salt water and allow smaller incisions. Your surgeon will explain pros/cons and help you choose based on anatomy and goals.
How do you choose implant size and shape?
We use precise measurements, 3D sizing tools and sizers during consultation to match implant volume and profile to your chest width, tissue quality and desired look—this process reduces guesswork and improves satisfaction.
What incision and pocket-placement options exist?
Common incisions are periareolar (around the nipple), inframammary (under the breast crease), or transaxillary (armpit); implants sit either under the muscle (submuscular) or above it (subglandular). Choice depends on anatomy, implant type, and aesthetic goals.
What is the typical recovery timeline?
Most patients return to light activities in 1–2 weeks and resume full exercise around 4–6 weeks, with swelling settling over several months. You’ll wear a supportive bra and follow a staged aftercare plan to optimize healing and comfort.
Will breast implants affect breastfeeding?
Many patients can breastfeed after augmentation, but some techniques (especially certain periareolar approaches) can impact milk ducts or sensation. Discuss breastfeeding goals with your surgeon to pick the safest technique for you.
How long do implants last and will I need future surgery?
Implants aren’t lifetime devices—many patients keep implants for 10–20+ years but may need revision for aesthetic changes, rupture, or personal preference. Regular follow-up helps monitor implant condition and plan any future care.
What are the risks and how are they minimized?
Risks include infection, bleeding, capsular contracture, asymmetry, and changes in sensation. Choosing a board-supervised surgeon, following pre/post-op instructions, and attending scheduled follow-ups significantly reduce risk and improve outcomes.
How much does breast augmentation cost and is it covered by insurance?
Cost varies by implant type, facility, anesthesia and whether revision or combined procedures are needed. Cosmetic augmentation is usually privately paid; if surgery is reconstructive or medically required, partial coverage may apply—get a detailed quote at consultation.
