Breast Augmentation Insertion and Placement
There are different ways to insert your implants in a breast augmentation procedure. Options include insertion under the armpits, through the areola, or in the curved crease underneath the breasts. There are pros and cons to each method. These will be discussed during your private consultation.
The breast implant will then be placed in the breast pocket, either under the pectoral muscle (a submuscular placement) or directly behind the breast tissue, over the pectoral muscle (a submammary/ subglandular placement). The type of implant and degree of enlargement can influence the method of insertion and positioning of the breast implants. This will be discussed further during your private consultation.
Saline, Silicone, or Gummy Implants
A breast augmentation procedure can be performed with saline or FDA-approved silicone implants. The options will be discussed in more detail during your private consultation.
Many individuals choose silicone implants because they may feel more natural on all sides. If you choose silicone, we use only genuine, FDA-approved silicone implants manufactured by Allergan, the United States’ leading supplier of implants and cosmetic medical devices. All of the silicone implants we use are responsive, gummy implants.
Other individuals choose saline because it can be more cost-effective. When placed below the muscle, the differences are harder to detect.
Breast Augmentation Liposuction
Suppose you have excess fatty tissue extending from the breast to the area under the armpit. In that case, we will perform liposuction in that area to help achieve a more natural contour. This will be discussed further in your private consultation. We also offer mommy makeovers, which may include breast augmentation.

Ideal Breast Augmentation Candidates
Ideal candidates for breast augmentation are adults who:
- Are in good physical and mental health
- Are dissatisfied with their breast size, volume, or symmetry
- Have fully developed breasts
- Have realistic expectations about their results
- Are non-smokers
- Are free from serious medical conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes, bleeding disorders, or poor immune function
It’s also important that candidates are seeking the procedure for themselves, not due to external pressure. A consultation with Dr. Lipton is essential to determine individual suitability.
Preparing for Breast Augmentation
Preparing for breast augmentation involves several important steps to ensure a smooth procedure and recovery. These may include:
- Undergoing lab testing to ensure eligibility
- Stopping smoking
- Adjusting current medications
- Avoiding aspirin and anti-inflammatory drugs that increase bleeding risk
- Arranging for time off work, help with household tasks, and a ride home after surgery
You should follow all preoperative instructions, which may include fasting the night before surgery. Wear comfortable clothing on the day of the procedure, and ensure your recovery space at home is stocked with essentials such as soft bras, ice packs, and loose-fitting clothing.
Breast Augmentation Recovery
Recovery after breast augmentation varies by individual. However, most patients can expect initial swelling, bruising, and soreness for the first few days. Pain is typically well-managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medications.Â
Many people return to desk jobs within a week, though they should avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for at least four to six weeks.
Wearing a surgical or supportive bra as directed can reduce swelling and promote proper healing. Follow-up appointments are also crucial for monitoring progress and addressing any concerns that may arise.
Over the following months, the implants will gradually settle into their final position as the body heals.
Breast Augmentation Price
Dr. Lipton’s breast augmentation prices are competitive with other nationally recognized and board-certified plastic surgeons.
Although our costs are competitive, we don’t cut corners when it comes to your safety and results. For instance, we use only USA-manufactured implants by the largest and most well-respected breast implant manufacturer, Allergan USA.
Why Choose Dr. Lipton For My Breast Augmentation In Dallas
Dr. Lipton has practiced for more than two decades, refining his expertise in performing breast lift and augmentation procedures. He is passionate about what he does and loves every opportunity to help others gain or regain confidence in their appearance.
Even more importantly, Dr. Lipton cares deeply about his patients. For this reason, he often takes more time than other plastic surgeons in his procedures to personally ensure the best possible outcome and experience.
One way he takes extra time is by performing the entire procedure himself. He does not use surgical technicians to perform opening and closing procedures.
American Board of Plastic Surgery
Before surgery, he also takes added time to inject long-lasting local anesthesia in the areas around your breasts. Local anesthesia has nothing to do with being put to sleep during a procedure. However, it increases your comfort for several additional hours after surgery, while also helping your body heal more quickly.
Many surgeons limit these practices, but Dr. Lipton prioritizes patient well-being over saving time.
FAQs
Will Insurance Cover My Breast Augmentation Procedure?
Insurance typically does not cover breast augmentation procedures. However, we accept CareCredit cosmetic medical financing, with instant online approval. Visit CareCredit.com to find out how much you qualify for.
How Long Do Breast Augmentation Results Last?
Breast augmentation results are long-lasting. Most implants maintain their shape and position for 10 to 15 years or longer.
That said, implants are not lifetime devices and may eventually require replacement or revision due to natural aging, weight fluctuations, or personal preferences.
Some patients never need additional surgery. Meanwhile, others choose to revise their results over time.
Can Breast Augmentation Correct Uneven Breasts?
Yes, breast augmentation can improve breast symmetry by adjusting size, volume, and shape. Dr. Lipton can use different implant sizes or shapes to address natural asymmetry.
While perfect symmetry is rarely possible due to anatomical differences, significant improvements in balance and proportion can usually be achieved.
In some cases, a breast lift or other adjustments may be recommended in conjunction with augmentation to refine the final result.
What Kind of Scarring Can I Expect After Surgery?
Scarring from breast augmentation depends on the incision location and your individual healing process. Dr. Lipton will make incisions in less visible areas, such as under the breast fold, to minimize the appearance of scars.
Scars typically start out red or pink and gradually fade over time, often becoming thin, pale lines. Proper wound care, avoiding sun exposure, and using doctor-recommended scar treatments can support better healing. While some scarring is inevitable, many patients find that it becomes barely noticeable with time.
