Who Can Benefit from Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation remains one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries worldwide. It’s the only procedure that can truly give your breasts the shape, size, and symmetry you want. While many associate this procedure with dramatic transformations, today’s approach focuses on natural-looking results tailored to individual body types. 

But is breast augmentation right for you? At Le Contour Aesthetic Surgery in Orlando, Florida, Jorge Gonzalez, MD, PA, offers personalized breast enhancement solutions that complement your anatomy and lifestyle. 

As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Gonzalez tailors each procedure to meet your goals, helping you achieve natural-looking results that boost your confidence.

Understanding who makes an ideal candidate can help you decide if this life-changing procedure aligns with your goals.

Size isn’t the only reason women choose breast augmentation

Women pursue breast augmentation for reasons as unique as their bodies. Some common motivations include:

Restoring lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss

Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and major weight fluctuations can dramatically alter breast appearance. Augmentation restores fullness and lifts breasts that have deflated or sagged over time.

Correcting asymmetry

Most women naturally have some degree of breast asymmetry, but noticeable differences can affect clothing fit and self-confidence. Augmentation can create more balanced proportions.

Enhancing naturally small breasts

Some women have naturally smaller breasts that don’t align with their desired body proportions. Increasing your breast size creates harmony between your chest and other physical features.

Correcting uneven breasts

Many women have naturally uneven breasts; augmentation can help create better symmetry for a more balanced appearance.

Rebuilding after mastectomy

Breast reconstruction is a welcome step in recovery for many breast cancer survivors, helping restore physical appearance and emotional well-being.

Ideal candidates share these characteristics

While breast augmentation benefits many women, ideal candidates typically:

• Maintain good overall health without conditions that could impair healing
• Have fully developed breasts (usually over 18)
• Hold realistic expectations about outcomes
• Aren’t currently pregnant or breastfeeding
• Are nonsmokers or willing to quit before surgery
• Have the emotional maturity to manage the adjustment period

Dr. Gonzalez thoroughly evaluates each patient’s medical history, current health status, and aesthetic goals during consultation to determine if breast augmentation is appropriate for their situation.

Today’s options go beyond “one size fits all”

Modern breast augmentation offers unprecedented customization options. During your consultation, you’ll discuss:

Implant type

Choose between silicone gel implants that closely mimic natural breast tissue or saline implants requiring smaller incisions. Dr. Gonzalez offers implants made of saline, silicone, or silicone gel to achieve your desired results.

Implant placement

Depending on your anatomy and lifestyle, Dr. Gonzalez can position your implants beneath your chest muscle for a natural look and feel.

Fat transfer option

If you prefer not to have implants, Dr. Gonzalez can use ultrasound-assisted liposuction to transfer fat from your stomach, thighs, or buttocks to your breasts, enhancing their size with your own tissue.

Incision location

Several discreet options exist, including inframammary (breast crease), periareolar (around the nipple), or transaxillary (armpit) approaches.

Size and profile

Your body frame, chest width, and aesthetic goals determine the optimal implant dimensions for natural-looking enhancement.

Recovery requires patience but delivers lasting confidence

Most patients return to light activities within a week and resume normal routines within a month. While some swelling and discomfort are normal parts of healing, modern techniques minimize downtime and maximize comfort.
