Breast Augmentation
Many women want to feel more confident in the size of their breasts. Breast augmentation adds volume and creates the curves many women associate with femininity and attractiveness. The reasons for choosing breast augmentation vary among our Little Rock patients. Many want to restore lost volume after pregnancy; some seek a size that feels more proportional for their body; others simply want to feel more confident when wearing a tank top or swimsuit.
What is natural breast augmentation?
The newest advancements in surgical techniques now allow for a natural breast augmentation utilizing fat grafting techniques. Following liposuction, a patient’s own fat cells can be transferred to the breast. This is increasing in demand with Dr. Wright’s practice for patients that wish to avoid implants or for patients that have had implants removed. Breast augmentation with fat grafting can be performed at the time of implant removal or, more commonly, several months after the breasts have healed.
Fat grafting or breast implants add breast volume, correct asymmetry, or make the breasts appear more proportional to the rest of the body.
Breast augmentation can slightly elevate breasts with minimal sagging, but most women with sagging breasts are better suited for a breast lift, either with or without breast augmentation.

How is breast augmentation performed?
Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. The specific surgical technique depends on the type of augmentation that is being performed. For fat grafting augmentation, Dr. Wright will perform liposuction from various areas of the body to obtain the fat cells needed for transfer. After a process to clean and concentrate the healthy fat cells, the transfer will then occur to the breasts. Though specific techniques are performed to maximize the fat grafting volume retention, it will take several weeks for the final result to appear.
For implant augmentation, Dr. Wright creates a “pocket” for each implant through an inframammary incision, which is hidden in the breast crease. This incision allows for direct access to the breast pocket and is well-concealed in a swimsuit or bra.
The pocket is placed either directly behind the breast tissue (subglandular) or underneath the chest muscle (submuscular). Subglandular placement offers a quicker, more comfortable recovery, but the submuscular placement provides better coverage of the implant.
Following completion of the procedure, the incisions are closed with sutures and surgical tape. Surgery takes around 1 to 3 hours to complete. Patients should have a friend or loved one drive them home after treatment.
A Reputation Built on Results
What are my breast implant options?
Breast augmentation is a highly customizable procedure that can be adjusted to each patient’s needs. One of the key components of achieving flattering, natural-looking results is choosing the right breast implants. There are several factors to consider when choosing, including:
- Size: Choosing the size of your implants is one of the most exciting parts of breast augmentation. Our team will take your measurements and help you choose an implant size that works well with your frame.
- Filler Material: Implants are filled with either saline (saltwater) or silicone gel. While each type has its own unique benefits, most patients today choose silicone because it creates a more natural look and feel.
- Profile: Also known as “projection,” the profile of your implant describes how far it protrudes from your chest. High profile implants are more dramatic and noticeable, while low profile implants are more natural-looking and subtle.

What is breast augmentation recovery like?
Breast augmentation recovery depends on several factors. Depending on the amount of liposuction performed for fat grafting, compression garments may be used during the postoperative period. This can take several weeks for the swelling to completely resolve. Implant placement, implant size, and incision location all can affect the healing process. Overall, most patients experience minor soreness and swelling following surgery. A follow-up appointment with Dr. Wright will be scheduled for around 1 week after surgery for Little Rock and surrounding area patients. For out-of-town patients, travel home can occur within 3 days following the procedure.
The majority of women can return to work within a week of surgery. More intensive movements, such as reaching, lifting, or high-impact exercise, should be postponed for 4 to 6 weeks.
