Many women desire fuller, more proportionate breasts to enhance their natural shape and confidence. Breast augmentation surgery is a highly versatile procedure to enhance breast volume, improve breast shape, and restore lost fullness due to weight loss, pregnancy, or aging. Dr. Lovell can help you whether you desire a subtle enhancement or dramatic transformation.
At Lovell Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, Dr. Sabine Lovell, a double board-certified plastic surgeon, specializes in breast augmentation procedures that create natural-looking, feminine results using silicone or saline implants. With expertise in breast implants and fat transfer breast augmentation, Dr. Lovell customizes each procedure to your body proportions, lifestyle, and goals. If you're considering breast surgery, schedule a consultation to explore the best options for you.
Breast augmentation surgery, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to increase breast size, improve breast shape, and create better symmetry. Patients can choose among:
Dr. Lovell will guide you through selecting the best implant type, size, and surgical technique to achieve your desired look.
On the day of your breast augmentation surgery, you will receive general anesthesia to optimize your comfort. Dr. Lovell performs breast implant surgery by using an inframammary fold incision (under the breast). This offers excellent soft tissue coverage and hides scarring in the natural crease. Saline and silicone gel implants can be placed using this technique.
Dr. Lovell creates a pocket for implant insertion on top (subfascial) or under (submuscular) the chest (pectoralis major muscle). Dr. Lovell will discuss the pros and cons of going on top or under the muscle based on your anatomy and lifestyle. Patients return home the same day. Dr. Lovell ensures a supportive journey every step of the way so that you can undergo breast augmentation with a positive outlook.
Breast augmentation helps women achieve their desired breast shape and size by addressing:
For women with severely drooping breasts, breast augmentation can be combined with a breast lift for enhanced shape and optimal nipple position.
Ideal candidates for breast augmentation surgery are healthy, non-smoking women who want to enhance their breast volume and shape.
Realistic expectations are essential, as results vary based on implant type, body proportions, and existing breast tissue. You may not be a candidate if you have breast implant illness, active breast cancer, or autoimmune or rheumatologic disorders. Dr. Lovell will review your medical history and help determine if breast augmentation is right for you.
After breast surgery, expect mild swelling, bruising, and tightness in the chest. Most breast augmentation patients return to light activities within 5-7 days, though strenuous exercise should be avoided for 4-6 weeks.
Dr. Lovell provides detailed aftercare to ensure a smooth breast augmentation recovery. Wearing a supportive surgical bra, avoiding heavy lifting, and following post-surgical care instructions will help achieve and maintain best results.
Although results from breast implant surgery appear immediately, it takes 3-6 months for the implants to settle into position and for the breast to obtain its final shape.
Regular breast imaging and implant check-ups help maintain results. While breast implants are long-lasting, they are not life-long devices and will require replacement at some point. Dr. Lovell sees her patients every year after breast augmentation to ensure everything is looking and feeling great.

Most breast implants last 10-15 years or more. They may need replacement sooner if issues like implant rupture or capsular contracture occur.
Dr. Lovell places incisions discreetly, often within the inframammary fold. Over time, scars fade significantly.
Most breast augmentation patients can still breastfeed, especially if the implant is placed under the pectoralis major muscle and avoids disruption to the milk ducts. Discuss any future plans to breastfeed with Dr. Lovell so that she can design your treatment plan accordingly.
Yes, silicone gel implants provide a very natural feel, closely resembling real breast tissue.
Both saline breast implants and silicone gel breast implants are FDA-approved.
Capsular contracture occurs when scar tissue around an implant tightens, making the implant appear unnaturally high or causing firmness or rarely discomfort. While uncommon, it can be corrected with revision surgery.
Yes! A breast lift corrects severely drooping breasts and corrects nipple position while breast implants add volume and improve shape.
A saline implant rupture is easily detected as the breast deflates. Silicone breast implants may require ultrasound (US) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to detect leaks.
