“My experience with Dr. Wright has been absolutely exceptional. I had an explant and re-augmentation, transitioning from over-the-muscle to under-the-muscle implants. It was a very complex surgery, and Dr. Wright’s attention to detail and precision were evident every step of the way. He is a truly fantastic surgeon who genuinely cares about his patients.”

You may be a strong candidate for breast augmentation if you:
During an in-depth consultation, Dr. Wright will help you determine whether breast augmentation matches your unique needs and cosmetic goals.
Choosing the right breast implants is one of the most important steps in achieving flattering, natural-looking results. Factors such as implant material, size, profile, and placement all influence your final shape and overall balance.
Implants are filled with either saline (saltwater) or cohesive silicone gel. While each type has its own unique benefits, most patients today choose silicone because it creates a more natural look and feel.
Choosing your implant size is one of the most exciting parts of breast augmentation. Our team will take your measurements and help you choose a size that complements your frame, suits your lifestyle, and achieves a natural-looking result.
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 subtle. Most implants come in these profiles:

Breast augmentation is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The procedure generally takes 1 to 2 hours, and you’ll return home the same day with detailed recovery instructions.
Incision placement: Dr. Wright typically makes an incision along the breast crease where it attaches to the chest, called an inframammary incision. Another option is along the lower edge of the areola, called a periareolar incision. Dr. Wright will discuss the benefits of each option during your consultation.
Implant placement: During the procedure, Dr. Wright creates a pocket for the implant. Depending on your anatomy and goals, he uses 1 of 3 options. He may place the implant directly behind the existing breast tissue, but in front of the pectoral muscle (subglandular) or behind the pectoral muscle (submuscular). Submuscular is the most common choice because it usually looks and feels more natural.
The third option, subfascial placement, is appropriate for select patients. Using this technique, the chest muscle remains untouched and uncut. Essentially, the fascia – which is the overlying soft tissue of the pectoralis muscle – is gently lifted over the muscle to create a space between the fascia and the muscle. An implant is then inserted between the muscle and the fascia.
For patients who prefer a natural approach to breast enhancement, fat transfer breast augmentation offers an alternative to breast implants. This technique uses fat to add subtle volume, improve contour, and enhance symmetry while maintaining a soft, natural feel.
With autologous fat transfer, Dr. Wright uses liposuction to remove excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs. The fat is then purified and strategically injected into the breasts to create balanced, natural-looking fullness. Because the transferred tissue comes from your own body, this method avoids implants and may also provide the added benefit of body contouring in the donor area.
The fat transfer technique is best suited for patients seeking a modest increase in size rather than a dramatic change. Final results develop gradually as the transferred fat integrates with your natural tissue.
In select cases, Dr. Wright may offer alloClae structural adipose filler, a biologic material derived from processed donor fat tissue. It contains purified adipose tissue components, including extracellular matrix (ECM), collagen, and growth factors. This implant-free approach can be used to refine breast shape, address asymmetry, or enhance upper pole fullness.
During your consultation, Dr. Wright will evaluate your anatomy, skin quality, and goals to determine whether autologous fat transfer, alloClae™, or traditional implant-based augmentation is the best option for achieving natural-looking, confidence-enhancing results.
Breast augmentation increases breast volume using implants or fat transfer, making it ideal for patients who want fuller breasts or improved symmetry. A breast lift reshapes and elevates sagging breasts by removing excess skin and repositioning the nipple without significantly increasing size. If you have both volume loss and drooping, Dr. Wright may recommend combining the procedures to restore balanced, youthful proportions.
Yes, many patients combine breast augmentation with other body contouring procedures as part of a mommy makeover. These procedures include:

Revision surgery may be performed after the initial breast augmentation surgery for a variety of reasons, including:
Dr. Wright believes it’s important for patients to feel comfortable and confident after breast enhancement surgery. He supports patients in whatever decision they make and has the experience needed to provide optimal results with revision surgery.

Drawing on his training in aesthetic and reconstructive breast surgery, Dr. Wright may use an internal bra technique in select cases to provide additional support to the breast pocket. This approach involves inserting a soft biologic or mesh-based scaffold to reinforce weakened tissue and help maintain implant position over time.
Internal bra support may be recommended for patients with stretched skin, implant bottoming out, or recurrent sagging after prior surgery. The goal is to improve structural support and long-term stability while preserving a natural-looking contour.
All surgical procedures carry some risk. Some of the more common potential risks associated with breast augmentation include:
Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon and following postoperative instructions significantly reduces risk.
To improve your comfort after surgery and reduce downtime, Dr. Wright incorporates evidence-based rapid recovery techniques.
These protocols may include:
These steps are designed to enhance comfort, support faster healing, and deliver natural-looking results with a smoother recovery experience.
Most breast augmentation patients return to work, school, and nonstrenuous activities in about 5 to 7 days. However, recovery depends on several factors, including implant placement, implant size, and incision location. Here is a general idea of what you can expect:
Read our related blog post to learn more about breast augmentation recovery.
Recovery varies based on implant type and placement, but most patients can expect:
First few days
1 week
4–6 weeks
Full results develop over several months as swelling resolves.
Dr. Wright uses his expertise and experience to focus on results that look and feel very natural. Implant selection and placement are key.
Yoga boobs, sometimes called “ballerina boobs,” describe the preference for smaller breast enhancement that complements an active lifestyle. Patients who choose this look typically select moderate implant sizes that enhance shape and proportion without creating dramatic volume.
The 45-55 rule is a ratio that suggests an attractive breast shape has about 45% of its volume or fullness in the upper pole (above the nipple) and 55% in the lower pole (below the nipple).
A typical breast implant of 300 to 400 cc weighs about 0.7 to 0.9 pounds. Patients usually do not notice much difference on the scale.
Yes, many women are able to breastfeed with implants, as implants do not typically interfere with milk production. However, some women—whether they have implants or not—may have difficulty breastfeeding. If you plan to breastfeed in the future, let Dr. Wright know so he can plan your surgery accordingly.
Yes. Mammograms are safe and important for women with breast implants. The implant’s elastic outer shells can withstand much more compression than is used during a mammogram. Imaging centers routinely ask about implants when scheduling a screening.
Breast implants typically last 15 to 20 years or longer, though they are not considered lifetime devices. If you are not experiencing complications and are satisfied with your results, replacement may not be necessary.
