Breast augmentation with implants is an excellent choice for patients desiring fuller breasts. Whether following a reduction in volume or size after pregnancy, correcting a congenital breast defect, or balancing breast size, this procedure can achieve a wide variety of unique goals.
In some cases, skin laxity or other facts may require breast procedures like breast lifts or nipple/areola reduction to help enhance the breast shape, size, and appearance.

Before surgery
A patient care concierge will guide you through the entire consultation process, which can be attended in person or virtually. During the consultation, your surgeon will learn about your goals, answer any questions, and perform an examination to create a personalized surgical plan. You’ll provide photos representing your breast goals and discuss your implant options. You will then be matched with a surgical coordinator who will walk you through each step of the preoperative process.
During surgery
To perform this procedure, incisions will be made according to the operative plan created during your consultation.
After surgery
Patients will experience swelling and soreness for the first few days following their procedure but are often pleased to find this stage of recovery is very short. Most patients begin feeling better within three days and return to work within the week if their job is not overly strenuous. Pain, swelling, and sensitivity will linger for a few weeks but subside enough to allow you to return to most activities.
Patients are encouraged to walk immediately after surgery to prevent blood clots and improve circulation, but rigorous exercise should be restricted for two weeks, and upper-body activities should be avoided for six weeks. It takes about six weeks for the breasts to drop and fluff and six months to see their final appearance.
Your surgeon will provide specific instructions for optimal post-operative care, including an advanced scar management protocol after the initial healing period. Your surgical team is always available and will closely monitor your recovery in the weeks and months following surgery.
Breast implants are designed to last many years, making them a great investment of time and money. The FDA and implant manufacturers recommend replacing implants every ten years. Regular monitoring of breast implants after augmentation is also recommended.
FAQs
At Barrett Plastic Surgery, Dr. Daniel Barrett and Dr. Alexander Neusner perform Preserve Breast Augmentation using advanced tissue-preserving techniques paired with Motiva® breast implants. This approach is designed to minimize disruption to the breast's natural anatomy while enhancing volume and shape, helping patients achieve beautiful, natural-looking results with a focus on long-term breast health.
Dr. Barrett and Dr. Neusner utilize a tissue-preserving approach that focuses on protecting important structures within the breast, including ligaments, blood vessels, and soft tissue. Compared to traditional augmentation methods, this technique is designed to be less invasive, which may contribute to a more comfortable recovery and a more natural appearance and feel.
Dr. Barrett and Dr. Neusner offer Motiva® implants because of their advanced technology, natural softness, and ability to move more naturally with the body. Motiva implants are designed to provide a beautiful aesthetic result while allowing for smaller incisions in many cases and supporting a tissue-preserving surgical approach.
Many patients treated by Dr. Barrett and Dr. Neusner report a smoother recovery and less postoperative discomfort compared to traditional breast augmentation techniques. Because the Preserve approach minimizes unnecessary tissue disruption, patients are often able to return to many of their normal daily activities sooner, though every recovery experience is uniqu
Creating natural-looking results is one of the primary goals of Preserve Breast Augmentation. Dr. Barrett and Dr. Neusner carefully customize each procedure based on the patient's anatomy and aesthetic goals while utilizing Motiva® implants, which are known for their natural feel and movement. The result is enhanced breast volume that complements your body's proportions.
The best way to determine if you are a candidate for Preserve Breast Augmentation is through a personal consultation with Dr. Daniel Barrett or Dr. Alexander Neusner. During your consultation, your surgeon will evaluate your anatomy, discuss your goals, review your medical history, and determine whether the Preserve technique and Motiva® implants are the right fit for you. Every patient is unique, and candidacy can only be confirmed after a comprehensive evaluation.
