Breast Augmentation Atlanta, GA | Dr. Lisa Difrancesco

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure that enhances the size, shape, and fullness of the breasts. This procedure is commonly chosen by women looking to improve their body proportions, restore volume lost due to weight loss or pregnancy, or achieve a desired breast profile.

Candidates for Breast Augmentation

Women choose breast augmentation for various reasons, often to enhance body proportion, restore volume lost from pregnancy or weight fluctuations, or achieve a more balanced silhouette.

Ideal Candidates Include Women Who:

• Are in good physical health
• Have realistic expectations about the outcomes
• Are seeking to enhance breast volume or correct asymmetry
• Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
• Are emotionally prepared for surgery and recovery

Breast Augmentation Procedure

The procedure is typically performed as an outpatient surgery under general anesthesia. Dr. DiFrancesco makes the chosen incision, places the implant, and closes the incisions with sutures. The entire procedure usually takes one to two hours.

Recovery and Expectations

Patients can expect initial swelling and bruising, which will gradually subside. Most individuals return to light activities within a week, with full recovery taking several months. A supportive bra will be recommended to reduce swelling and support new contours.
