What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that enhances the size, shape, and projection of the breasts using implants or fat transfer. This procedure is commonly chosen by women looking to increase breast volume, correct asymmetry, or restore youthful fullness lost due to aging, pregnancy, or weight changes.

Dr. Bridge tailors each breast augmentation to your anatomy and preferences, helping you choose the right implant type (saline or silicone), size, shape, and placement to create a natural and balanced result.

Small Breast Augmentation

If you’re looking for subtle, natural-looking enhancement, small breast augmentation (a.k.a. ballerina breast augmentation) offers refined results without an exaggerated change. Whether you’re restoring volume lost after pregnancy or enhancing a petite frame, Dr. Kevin Bridge tailors each procedure to your body and goals.

Using smaller implants or your own fat via natural breast augmentation, Dr. Bridge creates a balanced, proportionate look that complements your figure and lifestyle.

Breast Augmentation Benefits

During your consultation, Dr. Bridge will carefully assess your goals and anatomy to determine if breast augmentation is the right choice for you.

  • Increases breast size and fullness
  • Enhances breast symmetry and balance
  • Restores volume lost from pregnancy or weight loss
  • Boosts self-confidence and body image
  • Customizable with different implant types, sizes, and shapes
  • Can be combined with a breast lift for additional enhancement

Types of Breast Implants and Surgical Options

Dr. Bridge offers both saline and silicone gel implants. 

  • Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water and can be adjusted during surgery. 
  • Silicone implants, including highly cohesive styles, are known for their natural feel and durability.

Dr. Bridge will discuss with you the latest in implant choices. He has experience with the newest implants available including various sizes from from small to extra-large augmentation.  He can help you understand the differences in implant shape (round versus teardrop/anatomical), and projections (moderate, high, ultra, extra-high, or boost) to suit different body types and desired outcomes. During your consultation, Dr. Bridge will take detailed measurements and discuss how different styles can influence your final result.

Implants can be placed in multiple positions including below the breast (subglandular), over the pectoral muscle (subfacial), or beneath the pectoral muscle (submuscular). 

Subfacial placement is common and often preferred for a more natural slope, less disruption of the muscle, less pain, and additional soft tissue coverage. Dr. Bridge will review the benefits of each approach and help you choose what’s right for you.

Good Candidates for Breast Augmentation

Dr. Bridge also welcomes patients seeking revision augmentation or those combining breast implants with a lift for more comprehensive enhancement. You may be a candidate for breast augmentation if you:

  • Are physically healthy and at a stable weight
  • Feel that your breasts are too small, uneven, or have lost volume
  • Have realistic expectations about the outcome
  • Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding

What to Expect During Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast augmentation is typically performed under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility. The procedure usually takes about 1 hour. Dr. Bridge makes discreet incisions in natural creases (such as the inframammary fold or around the areola), creates a pocket for the implant, and positions it based on your customized surgical plan.

Once the implants are in place and symmetry is confirmed, incisions are closed with precision sutures. You’ll return home the same day with a supportive surgical bra and detailed aftercare instructions. Most patients can resume light activity within a few days.

Dr. Bridge will go over his fast-track recovery program that should ideally allow the patient to return to work and normal activity in 3-4 days.

Breast Augmentation in West Texas - FAQs

You may experience some tightness, pressure, and soreness in the chest after surgery, especially in the first few days. Most patients manage discomfort with prescribed medication and transition to over-the-counter options within a week.

Dr. Bridge offers both saline and silicone gel implants, including highly cohesive options. Each type has its own advantages, and he’ll help you choose the best one for your body and goals.

If you have significant sagging or loose skin, Dr. Bridge may recommend combining augmentation with a breast lift to achieve optimal shape and positioning.

Most implants last 10 to 20 years, though they don’t have an expiration date. Routine monitoring and occasional replacement or revision surgery may be needed over time.

Careful evaluation to understand the patients’ expectations is paramount.  Natural results can absolutely be obtained by using careful measurements, implant profiling, and modern surgical techniques to create results that look balanced and in harmony with your body. 

Most patients return to light activities within a few days and work within a week, depending on job demands. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for about 4 to 6 weeks.

Many women can still breastfeed after breast augmentation, particularly when implants are placed under the muscle. Dr. Bridge will review any factors that could impact nursing.

Breast augmentation is a safe, well-established procedure, but like any surgery, it carries some risks such as capsular contracture, implant rupture, or infection. Dr. Bridge takes every precaution to minimize complications and will review all risks with you in detail.

Whether your goals change or your body evolves, Dr. Bridge offers breast revision surgery to update your results, replace implants, or address any issues that may arise over time.

Dr. Bridge uses techniques that minimize visible scarring, often placing incisions in the breast fold or around the areola where they’re less noticeable. Scars typically fade significantly over time.
