Breast Augmentation Options 

During your consultation, Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. explains your options and helps you determine the ideal approach for your body and goals. 

Breast Implant filling options

Breast Implant Types 

Breast implants come in various materials, shapes, and sizes to suit different body types and preferences: 

  • Saline Implants: Filled with sterile saltwater, providing a firmer feel 
  • Silicone Implants: Filled with cohesive silicone gel for a natural look and feel, this category includes form-stable “gummy bear” implants.  

Implants also vary in shape (round or teardrop) and profile (low to extra high) to achieve your desired projection and fullness. 

Implant Size 

Breast implant size is measured in cubic centimeters (cc) of silicone or saline. Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. assesses your existing breast tissue and desired outcome to determine the most suitable volume. He may test different implant sizes during surgery to ensure the best fit for your body and aesthetic goals. 

Incision Location 

Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. recommends the best options for incision location and implant placement for natural-looking, well-proportioned results. The placement of the incision determines your scar’s location. Options include: 

Diagram of incision options for breast augmentation
  • Inframammary (Under the Breast Fold): The most common approach, hiding the incision in the natural crease beneath the breast 
  • Periareolar (Around the Nipple): Placed along the border of the areola for a discreet scar 
  • Transaxillary (Armpit): Incision in the armpit—frequently requested/used approach to avoid visible scars on the breast

Implant Placement 

Breast implants can be positioned in one of two locations:

  • Submuscular (Under the Muscle): Provides a more natural slope and reduces the risk of visible implant edges but may involve a slightly longer recovery 
  • Subglandular (Over the Muscle): Offers a shorter recovery time and may be a good choice for patients with sufficient natural breast tissue 

During your consultation, Joseph Tamburrino, M.D. will evaluate your anatomy and recommend the best placement for a balanced, natural-looking enhancement.  

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation 

For patients seeking a subtle enhancement without implants, fat transfer uses liposuction to harvest fat from another area of the body and inject it into the breasts for a natural result. Fat transfer can be performed as a standalone procedure for a modest size increase or combined with implants to refine results by softening implant edges and improving overall contour.

Recovery and Aftercare 

Most women resume light activities within a few days and return to work in about a week. Full and final results from breast augmentation may take up to 6 months to develop. 

Breast Augmentation Recovery 

Healing after breast augmentation varies by patient, but most follow a recovery timeline like this: 

First Week

Rest, minimal activity; wear a supportive surgical bra

Weeks 2 to 4

Gradual return to daily activities; swelling begins to subside

Weeks 6 to 8

Resume exercise and more strenuous activities with surgeon approval

2 Months

Implants settle into a more natural position and shape as tissues soften

Breast implants “drop and fluff” over time for a more natural look. This typically occurs over the first few months, with final results visible around 6 to 12 months after surgery. 

Follow your surgeon’s instructions to optimize healing.  

Tips for a Smooth Recovery 

  • Follow all postoperative care instructions closely. 
  • Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activities as directed. 
  • Wear a supportive bra to aid healing and maintain your results. 

By prioritizing postoperative care and allowing your body time to heal, you can enjoy beautiful, long-lasting results from your breast augmentation. 

Commonly Combined With Breast Augmentation 

To further enhance results, many patients combine their breast augmentation with a breast lift.

After pregnancy, some patients choose to combine body contouring procedures such as a tummy tuck or liposuction with breast enhancement in a mommy makeover
