How is Breast Augmentation Performed?

The procedure is done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia at our Bellevue, WA facility. A small incision is made under the breasts, under the nipple, or under the armpit (endoscopic approach). A saline or silicone implant is then inserted under the breast tissue, or more commonly under the breast tissue and the underlying muscles. The most common incision over the past few years has become the inframammary incision (under the breast). Dr. Egrari uses the Keller Funnel™ to simplify the insertion of the implant. This serves to protect the implant from affecting the surface of your skin, allowing for the most realistic breast augmentation in Bellevue by Dr. Egrari.

Patient Reviews Breast Augmentation in Bellevue, Seattle and surrounding areas

I literally could not possibly have had a BETTER plastic surgery experience.

It has now been one month since my breast augmentation with mastopexy (lift) and I honestly could not be more pleased or amazed by the results which are better than I could have dreamed of. Each and every point of contact with each member of the team was beyond impeccable. I felt so supported and cared for throughout the entire process. The surgical team were rockstars. The on-site surgical facility is amazing. I was so grateful I didn't need to go into the hospital environment and could have a private, intimate experience. I felt so safe and cared for. I'm so grateful to the Egrari team for their incredibly high standard of care - and amazing results! Highly recommend!

Christina Wolf

I recently had a breast augmentation performed by Dr. Egrari, and I couldn't be happier with the results! From start to finish, Dr. Egrari and his team provided an exceptional experience that exceeded all my expectations.

Dr. Egrari's expertise and experience were evident from the moment I met him. He took the time to thoroughly discuss my goals and concerns, and his recommendations were spot-on. I felt confident in his abilities to deliver the results I was hoping for, and he did not disappoint.

Dr.Egrari and his staff were wonderful.

I did my research and found him to be the most recommended doctor around. The long waiting list was a confirmation, and well worth it. I wanted the breast augmentation results to look natural. The whole experience was amazingly easy and virtually pain free. I had the surgery performed on a Wednesday, had lunch with my family on Saturday, and back to work on Monday. I am so happy with the results and would highly recommend him!

What are the incision options for breast augmentation?

There are three main types of incisions used in our Bellevue breast augmentation procedure.

  • Inframammary (under the fold of the breast)
  • Peri-areolar (around areola)
  • Trans-axillary (through armpit)

All three are possible, but the latest research and our own personal experience have taught us that the inframammary incision is the safest and produces the least scarring. The TUBA technique (through the navel) is a highly controversial technique that is effectively shunned by most qualified plastic surgeons. It has also lost its popularity due to some dismal complications.

Breast Implant Selection

Choosing the right breast implant is a crucial step in achieving the results you envision. Several factors, including your body type, lifestyle, and personal preferences, influence this decision. At Egrari Plastic Surgery Center, we offer a variety of implant options, including:

  • Silicone Implants: Known for their natural feel and appearance, silicone implants are a popular choice for those seeking soft, realistic results. The implant that he uses are all cohesive and known as gummy bear implants. 
  • Saline Implants: These implants offer flexibility in size adjustments and are filled with sterile saline solution, providing a firmer feel.

Dr. Egrari works closely with each patient to determine the ideal implant type, size, and shape that will complement their unique anatomy and achieve their desired outcome. During your consultation, we will use advanced imaging, such as Vectra 3D and implant sizers, to help you visualize your results and ensure complete confidence in your decision. Dr. Egrari employs a unique method of intra-operative sizing to evaluate and give you the most appropriate size and shape of breasts.

Breast Implant Placement Options

The general options for placement include subpectoral (under the muscle), and subglandular (above the muscle). There is slight variation in how these placements are used based upon the unique physiology of the patient. The subpectoral placement is partially beneath the chest muscle. The subglandular technique can be performed using the subfascial technique, a recent development in breast augmentation surgery. The most popular technique is subpectoral, in which the implants are placed beneath the muscle. We believe there are at least five powerful advantages of this surgical technique:

  • Looks better
  • Feels better
  • Less chance of capsular contracture (the most common complication of breast augmentation)
  • Less chance of infection
  • Mammograms are more accurate

The only disadvantage of breast implant placement with muscular coverage is that for some patients, the new breast may appear temporarily misshapen when the chest muscle is flexed. Most patients do not find this effect troublesome.

What is the Recovery for Breast Augmentation?

You will return home wearing a surgical bra. It provides comfort and support for your new breasts while simultaneously holding the new implants in a secure position during the healing process. Initial discomfort can be controlled with medication. We feel that our meticulous “no touch” technique creates a more comfortable post-operative experience. Most patients take off one week from work. For great results from the best breast augmentation Bellevue has to offer, aerobic activities must wait for about four weeks.

Light activities can be resumed as tolerated, but limit any motions that put stress on the upper chest area, including lifting or stretching.

Patients can opt for EXPAREL®, a long-acting injectable pain reliever. We call this procedure an “ouchless” breast augmentation. Generally, no sutures are used on the outer skin. The sutures placed beneath the skin are dissolvable.

Other Procedures With Breast Augmentation

An additional procedure may be necessary. Our Bellevue breast augmentation surgeon, Dr. Egrari, can restore sagging breasts with a procedure called a mastopexy (breast lift).

After pregnancy, breastfeeding or dramatic weight loss can cause drooping of the breasts (ptosis). This condition cannot be resolved with the placement of implants; rather, it must be combined with a breast lift to create the firm, high, plump look associated with youthful breasts.

Fat injection into the breasts (fat transfer breast augmentation) has gained significant popularity. Not every patient is a candidate for this, and most of the time if a breast lift is needed as well. Fat injection cannot be done at the same time, except for certain candidates. There is a unique breast shape that might be amenable to a lift and fat injection at the same time. Fat injection is not for an individual who wants significant volume. Instead, it’s ideal for patients with youthful breasts and available fat who want a more subtle enhancement.

We continue to educate our patients about their choices and about the safety of implants. For more information, visit: www.theaestheticsociety.org.

What implants does Dr. Egrari use?

Dr. Egrari has access to the four FDA-approved lines of implants: Allergan Natrelle®, Mentor®, and Sientra®, and Motiva. Dr. Egrari is one of the largest users of implants in the United States and finds the Allergan Natrelle line of implants to be of highest quality. He is partial to this brand, as the metrics, profiles, and the type of cohesivity that they have is second to none. The implants are either saline or silicone.

Is it possible to inject fat for breast augmentation?

Autologous fat transfer (AFT) can be used for breast augmentation in select patients. This option is best suited for individuals who have adequate donor fat and are seeking a modest increase in size rather than a dramatic enhancement.

Will I have cleavage? Can my breasts be placed higher on my chest?

Breast position is influenced by your natural "footplate," which refers to the pre-determined location of the breast on the chest wall. Genetics primarily determine this placement. If the footplate is low, a breast lift may be necessary to achieve a higher position. Cleavage is also influenced by breast width and chest anatomy. These factors are carefully reviewed during your consultation to align expectations with achievable outcomes.

What are the most common complications of breast augmentation?

Potential complications include capsular contracture, asymmetry, rippling, implant deflation, dissatisfaction with size, temporary or permanent changes in nipple or breast sensation, and standard anesthesia-related risks. While complications are uncommon, Dr. Egrari discusses capsular contracture and long-term size satisfaction in greater detail during consultation.

How do I make sure that I get the size that I want?

Dr. Egrari takes a detailed, individualized approach, carefully evaluating your body’s proportions and discussing your aesthetic goals. Through precise measurements and artistic judgment developed over years of experience, he helps guide you toward a size and shape that will achieve balanced, beautiful results.

How long do breast implants typically last?

Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, but many last 10 to 20 years or longer without complications. Regular monitoring through exams and imaging is recommended, as implants may eventually require replacement or revision.

Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation?

Most women are able to breastfeed after breast augmentation, particularly when implants are placed beneath the muscle. Outcomes depend on surgical technique and individual anatomy, which are reviewed during consultation.

Will my implants affect airport security or metal detectors?

No. Breast implants are composed of silicone or saline and do not contain metal components, so they will not trigger airport security alarms.

Can breast augmentation correct tuberous or constricted breasts?

Yes. Dr. Egrari can address complex anatomical concerns such as tuberous or constricted breasts using specialized augmentation techniques, often combined with tissue reshaping or lifting when appropriate.

Is it possible to switch implant types or sizes later on?

Yes. Implant exchange is a common procedure and can be performed to change implant size, switch implant type, or address aesthetic or medical concerns that develop over time.
