What is a Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation enhances the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts using implants.
Breast augmentation is one of the most common types of cosmetic breast surgery.

The procedure involves the placement of either saline or silicone implants beneath the breast tissue or chest muscle. During your consultation, every detail is carefully considered, from implant type and size to shape, profile, and incision location, to ensure your outcome is balanced, flattering, and in alignment with your lifestyle.

Breast augmentations are among the most frequently performed procedures for enhancing breast appearance.

What Are the Benefits of a Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation offers more than just a change in appearance—benefits include:

  • Fuller, more youthful-looking breasts
  • Improved balance and symmetry
  • Better body proportions for a more flattering silhouette
  • Easier fit in clothing and swimwear
  • Long-lasting, customizable results
  • Enhanced self-image and confidence

Breast augmentation can also help restore lost breast volume due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging, helping you regain a natural and balanced bust appearance.

With the right surgical plan, breast augmentation is tailored to your aesthetic goals and is focused on achieving natural-looking results. Dr. Tag is highly experienced in achieving natural-looking results for patients seeking to enhance their breast volume.

What’s The First Step?

The first step is a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Tag at U Plastic Surgery + Aesthetics in Baltimore. This is your opportunity to discuss your goals openly, ask questions, and discuss breast augmentation in detail to learn more about the procedure and determine your candidacy.

Dr. Tag will take the time to understand your vision, evaluate your breast anatomy, and walk you through the options for implant type, size, and placement.

During this visit, you’ll also review your medical history and undergo a physical evaluation to ensure you’re a good candidate for surgery. From there, Dr. Tag will create a surgical plan tailored specifically to your goals—no generic templates, just personalized care that reflects your ideal outcome.

Breast Implant Options

You have several options when it comes to customizing your breast implants in Baltimore, including:

Patients can choose between saline and silicone gel breast implants, each offering unique benefits.

Saline vs. Silicone Breast Implants

Choosing the type of breast implant is a big decision. Options include saline implants and silicone implants, both of which provide beautiful results; however, you may prefer one over the other.

Saline Breast Implants

Saline breast implants are encased in an outer shell made of silicone but contain saline fluid. This sterile saltwater solution has long been used as the fill material for breast implants.

Although it carries the possibility of visible rippling after placement, this is an uncommon occurrence. If a saline breast implant leaks or tears, the fluid is harmlessly processed through your body’s natural metabolic processes.

Silicone Breast Implants

Silicone breast implants consist of an outer silicone shell that contains silicone gel. Silicone breast implants are prized for their natural look and feel.

The silicone gel itself highly mimics the look and feel of natural breast tissue. Silicone gel maintains its shape even if the breast implant shell tears, so regular MRIs are recommended to ensure the implant remains intact over time.

Saline breast implants are FDA-approved for women age 18 and older, while silicone breast implants are approved for women age 22 and older, so that is another consideration if you are a young woman.

Breast Implant Characteristics

During your consultation, we’ll discuss the breast implant characteristics and what they will mean for your results and your life after breast augmentation. Dr. Tag will show you examples of how different breast implants look after implantation, although this will vary depending on your breast size and tissue density.

Implant Size

Choosing the right implant size is one of the most important decisions in breast augmentation. Chest size is a key consideration when selecting the appropriate implant, as it helps ensure the chosen size and shape complement your chest wall dimensions and overall anatomy.

Dr. Tag will help you consider factors like your chest width, breast tissue, chest size, and overall physique to recommend sizes that will look harmonious and feel comfortable.

You can opt for a subtle enhancement or a more noticeable increase—whatever suits your style and goals. Remember, bigger isn’t always better; the goal is to enhance your natural beauty while ensuring the results look and feel authentic.

Implant Shape (Round or Tear-Drop/ Anatomical)

Implants come in two main shapes: round and tear-drop (also called anatomical). Round implants add fullness evenly, especially at the top of the breasts, giving a more pronounced, lifted appearance. They’re great for those who want a bit more “pop” or a classic, voluptuous look.

Tear-drop implants mimic the natural slope of the breast, with more volume at the bottom and a gentle taper toward the top. This shape tends to create a softer, more natural silhouette, ideal if you want subtle enhancement with realistic contours.

Profile/ Projection

Profile refers to how far the implants project from your chest wall—essentially, how much your breasts will “pop” forward. Profiles range from low to ultra-high.

  • Low-profile implants offer a wider base with less projection, making them ideal for a gentle increase in volume without excessive forward projection.
  • Moderate profile is the most popular, balancing projection and base width for a natural, full look.
  • High or ultra-high profiles deliver more projection for a dramatic, standout appearance.

Incision Placement

There are three main options for incision placement during breast augmentation, each with its own advantages:

  • Periareolar: An incision around the edge of the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple). This placement offers excellent access for implant placement and typically results in a discreet scar.
  • Inframammary: The inframammary incision is made along the breast crease where the breast meets the chest. This is the most common option because the inframammary incision allows precise implant placement and usually results in minimal visible scarring. It is often chosen based on individual patient factors and surgeon recommendations.
  • Transaxillary: An incision made in the armpit, avoiding scars on the breast itself. This technique requires special instruments and expertise, and is ideal for patients who want to avoid scars on their breasts.

The Breast Augmentation Procedure

The breast enhancement procedure involves placing the breast implants within a pocket created in the natural breasts. There are three main incision options:

  • Periareolar – a circular incision around the areolas
  • Inframammary – an incision extending along the breast crease, where the bottom of the breasts meets the chest
  • Transaxillary – a small incision is made in the armpit. Dr. Tag uses special instruments to insert and place the implant via this incision.

Dr. Tag makes these incisions as minimally as possible to minimize their appearance in the future. The incisions do leave scars, but they tend to fade and become somewhat lighter and flatter for most people over time.

Breast implants may be placed above the chest muscle, below the breast tissue (sub-glandular placement), or below the pectoral muscle (sub-muscular placement). Dr. Tag will recommend the placement that will yield the best results after meeting with you in a consultation.

Breast implant placement depends in part on the amount of breast tissue. Most breast augmentation procedures are completed while the patient is under general anesthesia. You will be groggy when you awake, but most people are fine to return home the same day.

Dr. Tag is dedicated to surgical excellence in every breast augmentation procedure, ensuring the highest standards of care and results.

Breast Enlargement Recovery

Breast augmentation recovery varies from person to person, but many patients are able to return to work within a week after breast augmentation surgery, depending on their job requirements. You should walk around a few hours after surgery to circulate your blood. You won’t want to leave your house for one to two days.

You should avoid strenuous exercise and activity for four to six weeks. Dr. Tag will let you know when you can resume your specific exercise and activity routine. You must avoid heavy lifting for at least six weeks.

Although your breast implants will ride high initially, they will settle into place over the coming weeks. Your final results will appear approximately six weeks after the procedure, once most of the swelling has subsided. Minor changes may take shape over a period of up to a year, as subtle reductions in swelling occur during this time.
