Good candidates for breast augmentation are women in good health who have one or more of the following concerns about their breasts:
During a consultation, patients will be given the opportunity to meet with their surgeon to discuss the desired procedure. Any questions that you have can be answered and the steps of the procedure will be reviewed. Our surgeons take the time to thoroughly educate patients on the procedure to ensure that they are comfortable with the process.
Our board-certified plastic surgeons have more than 50 years of combined experience in all facets of cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. As a qualified and compassionate team, they share a goal of providing a safe and rewarding plastic surgery experience while creating exceptional results worthy of your trust.
Breast augmentation can result in larger, more shapely breasts. It can also create a more balanced figure for a more positive self-image.
We offer only FDA-approved breast implants such as Natrelle® implants in both saline and silicone:
An exciting part of your breast augmentation consultation is choosing your implant size. Watch the video below to learn about how we help you with this decision.
You may need to consider is a breast lift, which raises the breasts by removing excess skin and tightening the surrounding tissue to reshape and support the new breast contour.
Breast lift surgery is commonly performed to correct the following concerns:
Your surgeon will tell you whether you need breast augmentation, a breast lift, or a combination of the procedures to achieve your desired results.
On the day of surgery, patients can expect to be under local anesthesia with sedation. During the procedure, a small incision is made in order to place the implant, which is usually inserted under the breast tissue and the pectoralis (chest) muscle.
Our surgeons offer the following two types of incisions for breast augmentation:
The type of breast augmentation incision used will be decided upon during your consultation. Each patient is unique, and not every patient can expect to see the same results using the same incision.

Our plastic surgeons perform breast augmentation as an outpatient procedure. Patients are sent home wearing a bra and ace wrap, which helps hold the breasts in the correct position. Initial discomfort is almost always controlled with oral pain medications.
Sutures are usually removed in 7 to 14 days during your follow-up appointment. Light activities can be resumed as tolerated. Aerobic activities or intimate contact can be resumed in a few weeks as healing progresses. Incision lines typically will continue to fade over the next year.
A breast augmentation is an invasive procedure, and therefore will require at least a week of downtime before you can resume daily activities. It is important to listen to your body while healing, so if you are experiencing pain, it is best not to push it.
Multiple follow-up appointments will be scheduled at 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 3 months, and 1 year to ensure optimal results.

The physical condition of your breasts, such as whether they sag, is much more important than your age when determining if you’re a good candidate for breast augmentation. It’s also important that you’re in good overall health before scheduling any elective surgery.
Your body mass index, or BMI, is one part of the picture when evaluating whether you’re a good breast augmentation candidate. Your overall health is another factor. There is evidence that patients with a BMI higher than 30 have an increased risk of post-op complications, but that doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t get breast augmentation if your BMI is above 30. You should be at a stable weight, however, because losing a significant amount of weight after getting implants could compromise breast augmentation results.
Many women considering breast augmentation describe their goals as wanting to be a certain bra cup size. While that can help narrow down your choices when selecting the size of breast implants, your bra cup size may differ depending on the brand of bra you’re wearing. That’s because there is no standard for cup sizes. It is worthwhile to get professionally fitted before shopping for new bras after breast augmentation.
This may be the most common question women ask during their consultations. Many patients considering breast augmentation say they want the results to look natural—which essentially means they want their breasts to look proportional to the rest of their body. Your surgeon will take several measurements during the consultation that help guide your choice of implants. It’s important to understand that the same size of implants that may look great on a friend or family member may not be the best for your body.
The first time you see your breasts after surgery, they’ll look swollen and bruised. Even after the swelling and bruising start to disappear, your breasts will sit high on the chest and appear somewhat compressed. The implants gradually settle into place over time, a process called “dropping and fluffing.” This occurs as the tight muscles and skin in the chest begin to relax and the implants fill out the bottom of the breasts.
Just as your breasts will appear to be sitting high on the chest after your procedure, the nipples may also look out of place. The good news is that this is only temporary, and the position of your nipples should begin to appear much more natural as your breast implants start to settle into place.
At Center for Plastic Surgery Ann Arbor, we look forward to helping you achieve your aesthetic goals.

Our consultation fee for both virtual and in-person consultations is $125, which is applied to the cost of surgery if you choose to move forward with the procedure.
