Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation, also referred to as a “boob job,” is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the breasts with implants.
Benefits of Breast Augmentation
The purpose of this procedure is to improve harmony of the body and help patients feel more confident by achieving their desired aesthetic goals. Breast augmentation surgery offers many benefits, including fuller, perkier breasts. Other common benefits of this restorative procedure include increased breast volume, improved breast shape and symmetry, and a more youthful appearance.
A mastopexy (a breast augmentation combined with a breast lift) can be another option for women experiencing drooping or sagging breasts, especially due to weight loss, aging, or multiple pregnancies. This combination can provide a more comprehensive enhancement that aligns with your personal aesthetic goals.

What is the recovery time?
Recovery from breast augmentation typically occurs in stages. Most patients can resume light activities within a few days, with no heavy lifting (over 10 pounds or raising your arms above the shoulder) for at least 2 weeks. You should also expect to wear a cellophane compression garment for about a week after the surgery to maintain results. Most patients report being back to regular activities within about 2-3 weeks and see complete results after around 6 weeks.
Have questions?
We’re here to help with answers to common questions about breast augmentation surgery and what to expect.
Who’s a candidate for this surgery?
Candidates often include women looking to enhance breast volume, improve symmetry, or achieve a more youthful breast shape. A personalized consultation is the best way to determine if you are a good candidate for breast augmentation surgery.
What are the risks involved?
As with any surgery, there are risks such as infection, bleeding, and implant complications. Dr. Lucas will discuss all potential risks and how to minimize them during your consultation.
How long do the results last?
With proper care, breast augmentation results can be long-lasting. Regular check-ups and a healthy lifestyle will help maintain the enhanced appearance of the area for around 10+ years.
How do I maintain my results?
Following the post-operative care guidelines provided by Dr. Jay Lucas is crucial for a successful recovery. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and following proper aftercare instructions will help ensure long-lasting results and keep you feeling your best.
What types of breast implants are available?
While saline implants are still used in plastic surgery today, Dr. Lucas exclusively uses silicone implants, chosen for their safety and natural feel. The implants are warranted for 10 years but may last longer with proper care and a healthy, stable weight.
