Having breast implants is not a “one and done” thing—they are not permanent! Like anything else that is not “living tissue,” breast implants have a shelf life. I see so many patients that may have decided on breast augmentation before having children in their 20s, and then fast-forward 30 years to their 50s and there is usually a different set […]

Breast revision surgery can often be an excellent option for women who are not satisfied with the results of a previous breast augmentation, as well as for those whose aesthetic goals and/or desires have changed since their initial breast enhancement procedure. Some of the most common reasons to consider revision breast augmentation include: If you are experiencing capsular contracture, which […]

This is a question I hear rather frequently from patients interested in mastopexy, a procedure more commonly referred to as breast lift surgery. The simple response is yes, you can absolutely receive a mastopexy without breast implants.

For breast augmentation, something I specialize in and have for nearly 11 years in practice, this involves striving to create the best shape and symmetry for the breasts.

There are numerous types of breast implants that can […]

If you notice irregularities in regard to the size and/or positioning of your implants immediately after breast augmentation, it’s not time to panic. Some initial swelling in the breasts is a common side effect of surgery, and it often occurs in varying degrees that may make the breasts appear uneven in the first few days – or even weeks – […]

At Boynton Plastic Surgery, all breast augmentation procedures I perform are subpectoral, meaning the implants are placed under the muscle. Following surgery, the top of the breasts initially appear excessively full because the muscle tightens right away. As the skin and muscle relaxes and stretches to accommodate added chest volume, the implants gradually “settle” into place. During this time, the […]
