What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure performed to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. During this procedure, implants of your choosing are placed in the breasts to achieve a round, curving, and appealing shape that is as large and full as you’ve always wanted. Breast augmentation is the best procedure for women who have always had small breasts and wished for larger ones, or who have lost breast volume after significant weight loss or pregnancy.
What Are the Benefits of Breast Augmentation?
There are numerous reasons to undergo breast augmentation in West Palm Beach at Sanctuary Plastic Surgery, such as:
- To achieve a more attractive breast size and shape
- To improve your self-esteem and body image
- To correct asymmetrical breasts
- To restore breast volume loss following pregnancy, childbirth, and breastfeeding
- To enhance cleavage
- To have a more attractive appearance in clothing, swimsuits, and lingerie
More About Breast Implant Types
We primarily use Natrelle's INSPIRA breast implants but will occasionally use Mentor, Sientra, or others. We offer both saline and silicone implants but primarily place silicone implants. Currently, we only place smooth-walled saline and silicone implants. All silicone implants are considered “gummy bear implants” but we offer implant types with varying levels of what's known as "cohesiveness," also known as "gumminess." More cohesive gel tends to be firmer, better maintaining its shape with less drooping.
Among the Natrelle implants, the Responsive implant tends to be the softest, with the SoftTouch being slightly firmer, and the Cohesive implant being the firmest and most cohesive variety we offer. Different levels of firmness determine how the implant will retain its shape. This enables you to customize your augmentation to create a naturalistic result that matches your body's existing proportions and features.

Am I a Candidate
for Breast Augmentation?
Generally, candidates for breast augmentation at Sanctuary Plastic Surgery are:
- Over the age of 18
- In good overall health
- Realistic about their expectations for the outcome of the procedure
- Not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- Free of cancerous and precancerous breast tissue
If you smoke, you must be willing to quit several weeks before surgery and throughout your recovery. Smoking can negatively impact your healing, and therefore your final results.
Breast Implant Incision Locations
Our surgeons offer two different locations for breast implant incisions, both of which allow your scars to be discreetly hidden from view, even in a bra, plunging neckline, or bikini top:
- Inframammary: The incision is placed in your breast crease where the scar is hidden in the natural fold.
- Periareolar: The incision is made along the lower border of the areola where the scars can be hidden in the darker skin.
Breast Implant Placement Options
Our surgeons offer you two different placements for breast implants, enabling you to pick the procedure that'll best suit your unique lifestyle:
- Subglandular: The implant is placed beneath the breast gland and above the pectoral muscle. We rarely use this approach except for specific body types. This approach has a faster recovery time.
- Submuscular: The implant is placed beneath your pectoral muscle. This is our preferred approach. It gives more natural-looking results, better long-term upper pole fullness, and a lower risk of capsular contracture.
Recovery After Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation surgery is done on an outpatient basis and you should arrange for someone to drive you home after your surgery and stay with you overnight. There will be some pain and swelling for a couple of days after surgery, and you will have prescription pain medication to help you stay comfortable in the early stages of healing. Soreness and swelling may last up to several weeks.
You will be seen the next day in the office and the surgical wrap will be removed. You will be placed in a soft bra that we provide. After you return you may shower and replace the bra provided. You will be seen a few days later for a follow-up to assess your healing. You'll need to wear the bra provided until our staff says otherwise, and avoid buying new bras until the swelling subsides, which may be a few weeks after surgery.
Here is a general timeline of breast augmentation recovery:
- One week before you can return to work (depending on your job).
- Four days or so to resume driving.
- You may resume brisk walking 48 hours after surgery and more intense cardio one to two weeks after surgery. Limited weight lifting may be started one week after surgery. No CrossFit, push-ups, or major chest work for six weeks after surgery.
- Golf and tennis may be resumed about two to four weeks after surgery.
- You can wear underwire bras after being cleared by our staff.
Cost of Breast Augmentation
No two breast augmentation procedures are ever exactly the same, and the cost of your operation will vary according to the details of your surgery. During your consultation, a member of our team will give you an idea of exactly what you can expect in terms of the cost of your breast augmentation procedure. In most cases, this is considered a cosmetic surgery and will not be covered by your health insurance provider, though it does not hurt to ask.
Your Breast Augmentation Results
The results of your breast augmentation will be created according to your personal goals and body type. Our aim is to create a bust that not only brings out your femininity in fine style, but that also matches your body’s existing proportions. Your breast augmentation will look naturalistic and will be crafted in a way that complements your body’s natural curves and contours. Before your procedure, we’ll talk you through everything you can expect from your surgery, so you have a detailed idea as to what you can expect from your results.
