What Is Breast Augmentation? 

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery that enhances breast size and shape using breast implants or fat transfer.

Common goals for breast augmentation include:

  • Enhancing breast size or fullness
  • Restoring volume after breastfeeding or weight fluctuations (sometimes combined with a breast lift)
  • Improving symmetry between breasts
  • Boosting confidence in clothing and swimwear

Your Breast Augmentation Consultation 

Dr. Davies uses time-tested techniques, prioritizing aesthetics and safety, and believes that well-informed patients make the best decisions. During your consultation, she’ll take the time to understand your goals, answer your questions, and guide you through your options in a relaxed, one-on-one setting.  

You’ll discuss: 

Implant Size and Shape 

An ideal implant size enhances your breasts while still appearing proportional to the rest of your body. The implants that may look great on a friend or family member may not be the best size for you. Dr. Davies uses her expertise to guide your choices.  

Implant Type 

There are generally 2 options: saline or silicone gel. Within the category of silicone implants, there are different levels of cohesiveness. Highly cohesive silicone gel implants are sometimes called gummy bear implants because they hold their shape even when cut in half.  

For most patients, Dr. Davies recommends Mentor® breast implants—a trusted, FDA-approved brand known for safety, durability, and consistent results. Mentor offers both saline and cohesive silicone gel options, allowing you to choose the implant that best aligns with your body, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. In the future, if your needs change, procedures such as breast implant revision may also be considered.

Incision Options 

Dr. Davies typically performs breast augmentation using an inframammary incision—a small, well-concealed incision made in the natural fold under the breast. This location allows for excellent surgical control and minimal disruption to breast tissue, often resulting in a more predictable outcome and a discreet scar. Other options include the periareolar incision, which traces the lower border of the areola, and the transaxillary incision made in the armpit. 

Implant Placement 

Dr. Davies’ preferred approach is to place implants beneath the pectoral muscle (submuscular placement). This technique provides a more natural slope to the upper breast, reduces the risk of visible implant rippling, and offers better long-term support. However, based on your unique anatomy and cosmetic goals, she may recommend placing the implant above the muscle (subglandular placement).

What Happens During Breast Augmentation Surgery? 

 After you’re comfortably asleep under general anesthesia, Dr. Davies carefully creates a pocket for your implants. She then positions the implants to create a natural, balanced look. Once everything is in place, Dr. Davies closes the incisions and gently wraps the area to support your healing. From start to finish, your safety, comfort, and results are Dr. Davies’ top priorities.

Breast Augmentation Recovery

Breast augmentation is typically an outpatient procedure, so you’ll be able to return home the same day with a trusted adult. In the first few days, feeling sore, swollen, and fatigued is normal—your body needs time to rest and heal. We recommend taking at least a few days off work and avoiding strenuous activity during this initial period. Gentle walks around the house are encouraged to support healthy circulation. 

Most patients feel well enough to return to work and light activities within about a week, depending on the nature of their job. Around 1 to 2 weeks after surgery, your bandages will be removed and replaced with a supportive surgical bra, which helps minimize swelling and supports your results as you heal. While you’ll see early improvements quickly, final results take shape gradually over several weeks as swelling subsides and the implants settle into position. 

Dr. Davies and her team are here to guide you every step of the way, with detailed aftercare instructions and ongoing support throughout your recovery. 

How Much Does Breast Augmentation Cost in Savannah, GA? 

The cost of breast augmentation depends on several factors. These include the plastic surgeon’s experience, training, and reputation, the type of breast implants you choose, and the geographic location of the practice (the procedure often costs more in metro areas such as Atlanta). At the consultation, we provide detailed price quotes for your review and can discuss financing options if you’re interested.
