What Is Breast Augmentation With Implants?

Breast augmentation with implants is the most popular method of enlarging breast size. Breast implants provide the number one way to create significant fullness to enhance breast shape. Dr. Hamilton performs breast augmentation in Houston, TX (or Augmentation mammoplasty). This procedure is a type of cosmetic breast surgery that increases breast size by placing silicone or saline implants into the breasts, with the emphasis on creating a gorgeous, elegant look for her patients that boosts confidence. Dr. Hamilton’s customized techniques enhance the size, shape, and silhouette of the breasts for the most beautiful, feminine breasts that display accentuated cleavage, increased volume, and optimized symmetry.

What Are the Benefits of Breast Augmentation?

Dr. Hamilton’s extensive experience performing all aspects of breast surgery using cutting-edge technology enables her to perform implant-based breast augmentation procedures with precision and artistry. She creates beautifully contoured, natural-looking breasts with enhanced volume, cleavage, and perkiness to fulfill her patients’ aesthetic goals, while also providing them with the experience of a comfortable, rapid recovery (usually a day or two) with her accelerated recovery program.

Breast augmentation with implants enhances curves and silhouettes beautifully, often instilling a sense of increased confidence in women to create the body they have always envisioned for themselves.

Newly transformed, rejuvenated breasts enable women to better fill out their clothes and undergarments in proportion with the rest of their body.

Implant-based breast augmentation benefits young women early in life, prior to childbirth, by creating fuller, shapely breasts, artfully contoured for a stunning appearance. Alternatively, this procedure rejuvenates the breasts of women affected by pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight loss, the passage of time, or genetics. Dr. Hamilton skillfully restores volume, shape, contour, and symmetry—creating fuller, more rounded breasts that are balanced symmetrically, naturally positioned on the chest wall, and aesthetically proportionate to their body frame.

Enhancing natural beauty, one beautiful detail at a time.

How Is The Breast Augmentation Procedure Performed?

Dr. Hamilton listens intently to her patients during the consultation to ascertain their aesthetic goals—while also evaluating their breast anatomy, skin elasticity, and body type—to help them make decisions to obtain the overall aesthetic look they desire. With every patient, she tailors the plan according to three main components: the ideal size, shape, and type of the implant as well as the location of the incision and the implant itself.

Choosing the Right Implant

Patients may choose between silicone or saline, with most patients selecting silicone because these implants feel softer and more natural compared to saline implants. The accompanying incision is tiny and typically located in the fold underneath the breast, but it may also be placed along the border of the areola. Finally, the implant may be placed in front of (pre-pectoral) or behind (sub-pectoral) the pectoralis major muscle, depending upon the patient’s anatomy and lifestyle. In the United States, 80% of implants are placed behind the muscle.

Personalization Through Advanced Biometrics

Dr. Hamilton utilizes advanced biometrics—calculating her patients’ unique biological measurements of their physical characteristics—to help ensure that her patients select the size and shape of their breast implants to most effectively achieve their aesthetic goals. Smooth, round, medical-grade implants are always used, which have the advantage of being able to rotate freely inside the breast. Within that category, many options exist—and Dr. Hamilton works closely with her patients to select the implant that is the perfect size and shape for their frame—an implant that will add natural fullness to the upper breast, while providing a beautiful curve to the lower part of the breast. Together with determining the implant’s ideal position on the chest wall, her patients will attain a natural, proportional, aesthetically pleasing look.

Meticulous Surgical Technique

Passionate about performing finely detailed plastic surgery to optimize the breasts, Dr. Hamilton meticulously places each implant into the breast pocket via a single, tiny, 1-inch incision (usually hidden inconspicuously within the breast fold) using a sterile, non-touch technique. The implant is directly transferred from its container to the specialized, sterile funnel (called a Keller Funnel), which creates the most sterile environment for implantation and allows for the tiniest incision to be made. After inserting the tip of the funnel into the breast pocket, Dr. Hamilton skillfully squeezes the implant into the breast pocket without it even touching the surface of the breast skin, instantly transforming the breast into a beautiful shape, size, and silhouette.

Aesthetic Outcomes and Recovery

The smooth, round implants rotate freely, create fullness at the top, and create breasts with a graceful, natural, symmetrical look that is proportional to the patient’s body. Dr. Hamilton’s quick-recovery protocol typically entails only one to two days off work, with the implants fully settled in 3 months’ time.

Combination Procedures

Breast Augmentation can be effectively combined with a Breast Lift (also called Mastopexy) for patients who seek to rejuvenate their breasts with increased breast volume in combination with a beautifully lifted breast shape and silhouette. Breast augmentation can also be paired with an internal bra for additional support for larger implants or looser breast tissues, as well as fat grafting to further sculpt the cleavage lines.

What Is Recovery Like After Breast Augmentation?

With Dr. Hamilton’s advanced, accelerated post-operative protocol, recovery is rapid. Her method allows patients to enter surgery in a relatively calm, anti-inflammatory state and feel good immediately after surgery. Dr. Hamilton encourages her patients to remain active post-surgery.

Patients mainly feel the sensation of pressure on the chest temporarily due to the additional volume placed behind the breast, and the tissues relaxing right after the procedure. Most patients are only off work one-to-two days and off exercise four weeks due to Dr. Hamilton’s rapid-recovery protocol.

The implants visibly drop (commonly termed “drop and fluff”) after 6 weeks and fully settle within 3 months. They settle faster in women who have already experienced childbirth and breastfeeding. Dr. Hamilton works closely with her patients to ensure a smooth post-operative healing process after breast augmentation surgery in Houston.

Breast Augmentation FAQs

Compliance notice: This information is provided for educational purposes only and does not replace a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon. Outcomes, risks, and suitability vary from patient to patient.

What is Preservation Breast Augmentation?

Preservation Breast Augmentation is a muscle-sparing technique pioneered by Dr. Hamilton that places the implant below the fascia and above the pectoralis muscle. This approach preserves natural muscle function, minimizes animation deformity, and helps the implant feel and move more naturally.

How long is the recovery after breast augmentation?

Recovery timelines vary by technique and patient. Because Preservation Breast Augmentation avoids cutting through muscle, many patients experience less pain and a faster return to normal activity than they would with traditional submuscular placement. Dr. Hamilton's Accelerated Recovery Program is designed to support this quicker return to daily life.

What breast implant options does Dr. Hamilton offer?

Dr. Hamilton offers Motiva® breast implants, a biocompatible, next-generation implant technology. She was an early U.S. adopter of Motiva® and now serves on the brand's advisory board, giving patients access to some of the newest options available in breast augmentation.

Am I a candidate for breast augmentation?

Good candidates are healthy adults who want to enhance breast size, shape, or symmetry and have realistic expectations for their results. A consultation with Dr. Hamilton will confirm candidacy based on anatomy, health history, and aesthetic goals.

Will breast augmentation affect nipple sensation or muscle function?

Traditional submuscular augmentation can sometimes affect chest muscle function or animation. Dr. Hamilton's Preservation Breast Augmentation technique is designed specifically to preserve native support structures, including muscle function and surrounding tissue, for a softer, more natural result.

How much does breast augmentation cost in Houston?

Cost depends on factors such as implant type, surgical technique, and anesthesia. A personalized quote is provided after a consultation with Dr. Hamilton, where your goals and anatomy are assessed in detail.
