Breast augmentation is a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure that enhances the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts using silicone or saline implants or, in some cases, fat transfer. It’s commonly chosen to restore volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss, or to improve overall breast proportion.
Good candidates are generally in good overall health, have realistic expectations, and want to enhance breast size or shape. Your board-certified plastic surgeon will review your goals, anatomy, and medical history during a consultation in Battle Creek or Jackson, MI.
We offer both silicone and saline implants, as well as fat transfer in select cases. Your surgeon will help you choose the best option based on your body proportions, desired outcome, and personal preferences.
Implants can be placed above (subglandular) or below (submuscular) the chest muscle. The best placement depends on your anatomy, breast tissue, and aesthetic goals.
Breast augmentation usually takes 1–2 hours under general anesthesia. Most patients experience mild swelling and soreness for several days, return to light activities within a week, and wear a supportive surgical bra during recovery. Final results develop over several weeks as implants settle naturally.
Yes. One of the main benefits of breast augmentation is the ability to correct asymmetry and achieve a more balanced and proportional breast appearance.
Breast implants are long-lasting, but may not be permanent. Factors such as aging, pregnancy, or significant weight changes can alter breast shape over time. Periodic follow-ups with your plastic surgeon help monitor long-term results.
Patients in Battle Creek, Jackson, and surrounding Michigan communities can schedule a consultation with Dr. Sumita Saha, our board-certified plastic surgeon, to discuss implant options, procedure details, and a personalized treatment plan.
