Get the Breasts You’ve Always Wanted With Breast Augmentation
Overview: What Is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure that involves the use of implants to increase the size, fullness, and shape of the breasts. The implants used in breast augmentation can be filled with silicone gel or saline, and they come in different sizes, shapes, and textures to suit a patient's individual needs and aesthetic goals. The procedure involves making an incision, creating a pocket for the implant, and positioning the implant into place.
Recovery from breast augmentation typically takes several weeks, and patients may experience some swelling, discomfort, and bruising in the first few days following surgery. The results of breast augmentation are typically long-lasting, but the implants may need to be replaced or removed after a certain period of time.
Why Have Breast Augmentation Surgery?
You deserve to look and feel your best. If you’re unhappy with the look of your breasts, it can negatively impact your confidence and make you feel self-conscious during intimate moments. Whether you want to rejuvenate your breasts after pregnancy or enhance the fullness or shape of your breasts or you’re a breast cancer survivor, breast augmentation may be your solution. Breast augmentation surgery can:
- Enlarge naturally small breasts
- Help balance asymmetrical breasts (when one breast is larger than the other, for example)
- Lift the breasts to their proper location on the body
- Restore the size and shape of breasts that have changed after pregnancy, weight loss, and other life situations
- Restore the size and shape of breasts that have been surgically modified after cancer and other surgical situations

How Safe Are Breast Implants in Houston?
Breast augmentation is a widely practiced and well-established type of cosmetic surgery, and almost no implantable medical device has been so thoroughly researched and tested. All of the types of breast implants in our Houston practice are FDA-approved and considered safe for most women.
Over time, implants used for breast augmentation have become even safer with technological improvements and research. There are some risks with any surgery involving a medical device, and Dr. Do will inform you of these as well as help you determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure.
It is highly unlikely that you will experience any serious side effects or complications of your surgery, but it is good to be informed about the small risks of:
- Excess scar tissue formation (capsular contracture)
- Implant rupture, which does not pose a health risk but would need surgical repair
- An extremely rare cancer that was primarily linked with a few textured breast implants
- “Breast implant illness,” which is a general term for uncommon symptoms still being researched
Dr. Do will schedule follow-ups and FDA-recommended routine screenings after your breast augmentation in Houston at regular intervals to watch for any signs of concern or damage to your implants.
