Add Volume and Refine Shape with Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is the cosmetic procedure of choice for significantly increasing breast size with implants. Using silicone-filled breast implants, you can achieve the breast shape and size you desire, as well as gain a more proportional body shape and renewed self-confidence.
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and overall appearance of the breasts using implants. However, in addition to increasing volume, breast augmentation can improve breast symmetry, restore fullness lost after pregnancy or weight loss, and enhance overall body proportions.
The procedure is tailored to your preferences, including implant type, size, shape, and placement, allowing for natural-looking, personalized results. Whether you are seeking a subtle enhancement or a more noticeable transformation, breast augmentation offers a reliable and effective solution.

Typical candidates for breast augmentation are individuals who are unsatisfied with their breast size or have asymmetrical breasts. As with many other cosmetic surgery procedures, you cannot smoke and must be physically healthy to be eligible for this or other plastic surgery procedures.
You might be a candidate for breast augmentation if you have:
- A smaller breast size than you would like
- Loss of fullness in the breasts over time
- A noticeable degree of breast asymmetry
There are many reasons to consider a breast augmentation in West Bloomfield Hills. For many women, the choice is made simply because they desire the cosmetic enhancement that comes with breast surgery.
How Is Breast Augmentation Performed In Bloomfield Hills, MI?
During breast augmentation in Bloomfield Hills, MI, your surgeon inserts an implant using one of several techniques. The most common technique is the inframammary incision, performed in the breast crease (where the breast meets the chest wall). A short incision allows the surgeon sufficient access to insert the implant. Alternatives include placement around the nipple. After the incision, the implant can be placed above or beneath the pectoral muscle.
A typical breast augmentation can be completed in under two hours. However, as you need time to prepare for and recover from surgery before you’re able to go home, expect surgical breast procedures to require a day’s commitment.
Saline vs. Silicone Implants
The latest silicone breast implants are highly advanced, with a cohesive property that wasn’t available in previous years. Patients prefer silicone gel for its natural consistency, which closely mimics the feel of real breast tissue. Saline breast implants are ideal for minimally invasive surgery techniques, including implant placement through the underarm or through the navel.

MEET DR. ELLENWhat Will My Aftercare Steps Be Following Breast Augmentation?
Most patients are encouraged to begin light walking within 24 hours to promote circulation and reduce the risk of complications. You may experience swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort in the first few days, which can be managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medications. It’s important to avoid strenuous activity, heavy lifting, and upper-body exercise for several weeks to allow your body to recover properly.
You will be able to walk around and do light activities a few hours after surgery, but full recovery time can take weeks. If necessary, the stitches are removed about 5-7 days after surgery. Full visible results of your plastic surgery will take several months as swelling and bruising subside and healing is complete.
How Long Will Breast Augmentation Results Last?
Breast augmentation results are long-lasting, but they are not considered lifetime devices. Most modern breast implants are designed to be durable and can last 10–15 years or longer, depending on the individual and the type of implant used. Many patients enjoy their results for years without needing revision surgery.
However, factors such as aging, weight fluctuations, pregnancy, and natural changes in breast tissue can affect the appearance of your results over time. Some patients may choose to undergo a revision procedure in the future to maintain or update their look.
