Breast Augmentation treats:

  • Naturally small or underdeveloped breasts
  • Volume loss due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
  • Breast asymmetry
  • Changes in breast size or shape due to aging
  • Breast deformities or congenital issues
  • Desire for fuller, more balanced breasts

Some patients may also require a breast lift in addition to augmentation to achieve the best results.

Types of breast implants

Saline breast implants

Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water, typically during the procedure. This option offers a firmer feel and is adjustable. If a rupture occurs, the saline is safely absorbed by the body. However, they may be more prone to visible rippling compared to other implant types of implants used for breast augmentation in Marietta.

Silicone breast implants

Silicone implants are pre-filled with cohesive silicone gel, designed to mimic the natural texture of breast tissue. Favored for their soft, natural feel, silicone implants are a popular choice, particularly for those with less breast tissue. They are also less likely to ripple compared to saline implants.

Gummy bear implants

Gummy bear implants, also known as form-stable implants, retain their shape even if cut in half. Their teardrop shape closely mirrors the natural contours of the breast, providing a more natural slope. Gummy bear implants are ideal for those seeking a natural appearance with long-lasting results.

Benefits of breast augmentation:

  • Enhanced breast volume and shape
  • Improved breast symmetry and balance
  • Restored fullness after pregnancy or weight loss
  • Boosted self-esteem and confidence
  • Natural-looking, soft results with top-notch implant options
  • Customizable to meet individual aesthetic preferences
  • Reconstructive benefits for patients post-mastectomy or after injury
  • Minimal downtime with most patients resuming normal activities relatively quickly
  • A variety of implant types to suit your personal goals

Your breast augmentation experience

Consultation

Your journey begins with a personalized consultation with Dr. Colgrove. During this meeting, he will discuss your aesthetic goals, evaluate your body type, and help you choose the right implant type, size, and placement for your needs. A computer simulation may be used to demonstrate your potential results. Dr. Colgrove will explain the procedure in detail, ensuring you feel informed and confident in your decision.

Surgery

Breast augmentation surgery is performed under general anesthesia at the Vinings Surgery Center. Dr. Colgrove will carefully place the implants through your chosen incision—periareolar, inframammary, or transaxillary—ensuring the most aesthetically pleasing result. The procedure typically takes about 2 hours, and our team will monitor you closely throughout for a smooth and successful outcome.

Recovery

After surgery, some swelling, bruising, and discomfort are expected but will subside over the first week. Most patients take a few days off from work and avoid strenuous activity for about three weeks. Dr. Colgrove will provide specific post-operative care instructions to help ease your recovery and minimize discomfort.

Results

You’ll notice immediate improvements following surgery, but your final results from breast augmentation in Marietta will gradually develop over the next 6 to 12 months as the swelling decreases and your body adjusts to the implants. Dr. Colgrove will schedule follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure you’re happy with the outcome.

Breast augmentation FAQs

Swelling, bruising, and some discomfort are normal after surgery, but most patients feel better within a week. You’ll need to take a few days off from work and avoid exercising for about three weeks. Dr. Colgrove will provide detailed recovery instructions to ensure a smooth healing process.

While initial results are visible shortly after surgery, the final shape and appearance of your breasts will take about 6 to 12 months to fully settle as swelling goes down and the implants integrate with your body.
