Candidacy Considerations

Ideal candidates are healthy individuals seeking to enhance breast size or shape. Patients should have realistic expectations and a desire to improve body confidence. The procedure is not recommended for those seeking changes to please others.

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients return to work within 5-7 days and resume normal activities within 2-3 weeks. Complete healing and final results are typically achieved 6-12 weeks post-surgery.

Surgical Approach

Dr. Pamela Brownlee uses advanced techniques to place implants below the chest muscle through a small incision, typically hidden under the breast fold. This approach ensures minimal scarring and natural-looking results.

Additional Procedures

Breast augmentation can be combined with other procedures like tummy tuck or liposuction for comprehensive body contouring, often referred to as a Mommy Makeover.
