Breast Augmentation Decisions
Dr. Rokosz will walk you through the different choices to make regarding breast augmentation based on your anatomy and goals.
Breast Implant Type
Saline
Filled with sterile saltwater with a firmer feel. If ruptured, the saline is absorbed safely. Only implant approved for use under age 22.
Silicone
Filled with cohesive “gummy bear” silicone gel. More natural feel and lighter than saline. Most popular option
Breast Implant SIZE
You will try on different size implants to help narrow down a size

incision placement
Inframammary
Incision goes along the crease under your breast. Most popular and well concealed.
Periareolar
Incision around the areola. Typically used when combined with a breast lift.
Breast Implant Location
Subfascial or Subglandular
Placement is above the pectoralis muscle but under the breast gland.
Below Pectoralis Muscle
Most common choice.
Breast Augmentation Procedure Details
During your initial consultation, Dr. Rokosz will evaluate your case and discuss your goals in detail to determine the right surgical plan. A breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes 1 to 2 hours.
Depending on your needs, the surgery may involve:
General anesthesia administration to keep you comfortable.
Incision placement, often in the crease under the breast (inframammary)
Implant placement either under the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle.
Local anesthesia is injected throughout the surgical site to decrease post-operative pain.
Incision closure with fine sutures under the skin to minimize scarring.

Breast Augmentation Recovery
The breast augmentation recovery time varies, but most patients follow this general timeline:
Immediately after surgery
Patients will experience swelling and bruising. Implants will sit high on the chest and drop during the recovery period. Arm movements and activities will be restricted. Pain is managed with medications, and patients typically wear a support bra 24/7 except showering.
Week 1-2
Swelling and bruising improves. Most patients are able to return to normal daily activities by 2 weeks.
Week 3-6
Swelling and bruising improves. Most patients are able to return to normal daily activities by 2 weeks.
Week 6+
Final results become more visible as implants drop into place. Any activity restrictions are lifted. Supportive bras are recommended beyond 6 weeks but may now include underwire.
Month 3+
Patients are typically fully recovered but will continued to heal up to one year. The final breast shape appears by 6 months to a year. A supportive bra is still recommended to slow the effects of gravity over time.
Dr. Rokosz will provide detailed instructions for incision care, pain management, activity restrictions, and scar care to ensure long-lasting, beautiful results.
Scars After Breast Augmentation
While Dr. Rokosz takes great care to minimize the appearance of scars, all breast augmentation surgeries require small incisions.
Dr. Rokosz uses meticulous closure techniques to promote discreet, well-healing scars. Most scars fade significantly over time with proper care. You will receive personalized scar management recommendations to help optimize your results.
