Overview

About the breast augmentation

Breast augmentation adds volume and shape with implants or, in select cases, your own fat. The single most important decision is not the implant — it is proportion, and Dr. Marchetti spends the consultation making sure the size fits your body, your activity, and your life a decade from now.

We fit implant sizers during your consultation so you make the choice looking in a mirror, not guessing from a number.

Is it for you?

You may be a good candidate if…

The only way to know for certain is an examination — but these are the signs we look for.

  • You want more volume, better balance between sides, or restored fullness after pregnancy
  • Your breast development is complete
  • You are in good health and understand implants are not lifetime devices

What's involved

How the breast procedure works.

01
Size

You try sizers in a supportive bra so the decision is visual and yours.

02
Place

Implants are placed through a discreet incision, above or below the muscle per your anatomy.

03
Support

A surgical bra supports the result while everything settles into position.

Recovery

An honest, week-by-week timeline.

You'll look great to everyone else weeks before you look final to yourself. Every patient leaves their pre-op visit with a written version of this plan.

Days 1–5

Tightness and soreness, well controlled with medication. Arms stay low.

Week 1

Most patients return to desk work and light routine.

Weeks 3–6

Gradual return to full activity and exercise as cleared.

Months 2–3

Implants settle and soften into their final, natural position.

FAQ

Breast Augmentation — common questions.

Silicone or saline?
Both are excellent and FDA-approved; the right choice depends on your tissue and goals. We walk through the trade-offs at your consultation.
How do I find out if this is right for me?
The only way to know is a consultation. Your surgeon will examine you, review your history and goals, and tell you honestly whether the procedure fits — and when it doesn't. There is no pressure to book.
