Types of Breast Augmentation
Breast Implant Surgery
Breast implant surgery involves placing silicone or saline implants beneath the breast tissue or chest muscle to enhance volume, shape, and symmetry. Dr. Dassoulas uses advanced surgical techniques, including subfascial implant placement, to achieve natural contours and enhance the breast’s anatomy. This method is ideal for patients seeking a predictable and customizable outcome, with a wide range of implant options to match aesthetic preferences.
Breast Fat Grafting
Breast fat grafting uses liposuction to harvest fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, which is then purified and strategically injected into the breasts. This technique enhances size and shape using your own natural tissue, avoiding implants entirely. Dr. Dassoulas tailors fat placement to create subtle, natural volume and improved symmetry, making it an excellent choice for those seeking modest enhancement or correction of contour irregularities.
Benefits of Breast Augmentation:
- Enhances breast size, shape, and symmetry for a balanced silhouette
- Restores lost volume after pregnancy, weight changes, or aging
- Customizable results with implant type, size, and placement options
- Can be performed with implants or natural fat for different aesthetic goals
- Allows the correction of congenital breast asymmetry or shape irregularities
- Can be combined with other procedures, such as a breast lift, for optimal results
Your Motiva Breast Implant Options
Motiva® breast implants are sixth-generation silicone gel implants that ensure a natural look and feel. Featuring the innovative SmoothSilk® shell, BluSeal® barrier, and ProgressiveGel® technology, these implants minimize irritation, support tissue health, and maintain their shape over time. Their design allows for smaller incisions, precise placement, and results that move naturally with your body. Dr. Dassoulas offers two distinct styles of Motiva breast implants:
SmoothSilk® Round
SmoothSilk Round implants provide enhanced upper-pole fullness and a youthful, lifted appearance. Filled with ProgressiveGel Plus, they maintain volume and structure, making them ideal for patients seeking a rounder, more prominent look without compromising softness. The SmoothSilk shell reduces the risk of capsular contracture.
SmoothSilk® Ergonomix®
SmoothSilk Ergonomix implants are engineered to mimic the natural breast’s movement and shape. Filled with ProgressiveGel Ultima, they adapt to your body’s position, appearing fuller when lying down and naturally teardrop-shaped when upright. This makes them an excellent choice for those seeking subtle, lifelike results.
Your Breast Augmentation Surgery
Your breast augmentation in Bethesda begins in an accredited surgical facility. Once you’re under anesthesia, Dr. Dassoulas makes a strategically placed incision, often in the inframammary fold, around the areola, or in the armpit, based on your anatomy and goals. This allows her to minimize visible scarring while providing optimal access for precise implant placement.
Depending on your customized plan, the implant is positioned either under the chest muscle, above it, or in the subfascial space, a technique Dr. Dassoulas often uses to preserve natural anatomy while enhancing support. Once the implants are in place, Dr. Dassoulas closes the incisions with fine sutures to promote smooth healing. Next, a supportive surgical bra is placed to help maintain your new shape and minimize swelling, following which you are monitored in recovery before returning home the same day.
Recovery After Breast Augmentation
After breast augmentation, you can expect some swelling, bruising, and mild discomfort for the first few days, which are manageable with prescribed medication and proper rest. Most patients return to light activities within a week, but you should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for 4 to 6 weeks. Wearing your surgical bra as instructed helps reduce swelling and supports your new contours. Dr. Dassoulas is available 24/7 to answer any questions or concerns.
The initial results are visible soon after surgery, but your breasts will continue to settle over the next few months as swelling subsides and implants naturally drop into position. The final results are typically seen at 3 to 6 months, revealing your refined shape and symmetry. Dr. Dassoulas also offers post-operative scar treatments, such as advanced laser therapy, to all appropriate candidates to help scars fade more quickly and blend with surrounding skin.
