What This Procedure Won’t Do:
Breast augmentation increases breast size, but it doesn't lift or reposition breasts.
It does not elevate the position of the nipples.
A breast lift (mastopexy) may be recommended when nipple repositioning or breast elevation is desired.
In some cases, a breast augmentation and lift may be performed together.
Combining procedures can increase risks & may not produce the desired results.
Your options can be discussed with Dr. Fairbanks during your consultation.

Both Options Can include Fat grafting:
Silicone Breast Implants: These are the most popular choice by far. Silicone implants are already filled with a highly cohesive gel prior to insertion. They are designed to mimic the look and feel of natural breast tissue and to maintain their shape over time. If the shell of a silicone implant tears, the cohesive gel is designed to remain inside. In the end, silicone implants deliver a relatively natural look and feel if the proportional size is chosen. The FDA approves the use of silicone breast implants for women age 22 or older.
Saline Breast Implants: These implants are inserted into the body empty and filled with sterile salt water once inside. If one of these implant shells leaks, the implant will collapse and the saline will be absorbed by the body. The saline breast implant is still chosen over silicone by several women as these implants also provide a relatively natural look and feel if the proportional size is chosen.



Smooth VS Textured:
Overall, Dr. Fairbanks recommends using the smooth, round implants. The smooth shell allows the implant to move more naturally with your existing breast tissue which not only minimizes ruptures and tears it also provides the softest and most natural feel. The smooth round implants also tend to settle faster in the body. This is an advantage because it creates a more natural looking end result. While smooth implants are the most popular choice, certain circumstances may require the use of textured breast implants. Dr. Fairbanks will be able to help you make the best choice for you during the consultation process.
Round VS Teardrop:
Again, Dr. Fairbanks prefers the smooth, round implants because of the fullness and lift they consistently provide patients while still looking and feeling the most natural. Teardrop Implants are textured and are rarely used by Dr. Fairbanks.
Best Incision Placement:
There are three common incision options: around the nipple, through the armpit, or within the breast crease.
Dr. Fairbanks prefers the inframammary incision, placed within the natural crease beneath the breast.
This approach uses a small, discreet incision beneath the breast.
The same approach can be used when implants need to be replaced.
Best Implant Placement:
Implants may be placed directly beneath the breast tissue when there is adequate tissue coverage.
Dr. Fairbanks prefers placement beneath the pectoralis muscle.
Placement is determined based on your individual anatomy, breast tissue, and desired results.
Silicone Implant Safety:
Silicone breast implants have been approved by the FDA.
The FDA provides information regarding the benefits, risks, and considerations associated with breast implants.
Patients should discuss implant options and potential risks with Dr. Fairbanks during their consultation.

can be Done Alone or with implants:
Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting is a Two for One Procedure that combines two of the most popular Cosmetic Plastic Surgeries today – Liposuction and Breast Enlargement. Women often joke about taking fat from their hips and thighs and putting it in their chests. Well, that can happen! Using an advanced surgical process that preserves the cells, fat can be successfully transferred from one part of the body to another, and this Breast Augmentation technique is rapidly growing in popularity!
When done correctly, using one's own living fat for Breast Augmentation results in the most natural look and feel as your own fat becomes a permanent, living part of the breast in the end.
What This Procedure Won’t Do:
Fat grafting can be used with breast augmentation to enhance the cosmetic appearance of the breasts.
The technique is also used with other surgical procedures to enhance the appearance of the face, lips, hands, feet, hips, and buttocks.
Fat grafting may also be used to support the healing and appearance of certain wounds and scars as well.
The technique uses the patient’s own fat to add volume and improve contour in the targeted areas directly.
