Breast Augmentation Before & Afters
SALINE VS. SILICONE IMPLANTS
SALINE IMPLANTS
Saline implants consist of a silicone shell filled with sterile salt water. They necessitate smaller incisions during placement and can be done through the underarm region, reducing the risk of visible scarring. In the event of leakage, the saline solution is harmlessly absorbed by the body. However, saline implants may be prone to rippling, and their appearance and texture might not replicate natural breast tissue as effectively as silicone implants.
SILICONE IMPLANTS
Silicone implants are made of a silicone shell filled with a cohesive silicone gel. Their popularity stems from their ability to closely resemble natural breast tissue in both appearance and texture. However, unlike saline implants, silicone leaks might not be immediately detectable. This means silicone implants will always hold their form without visible rippling on the skin. But this means you must also undergo regular MRI screenings to detect potential leaks and ensure safety post breast augmentation in Indianapolis.
REASONS TO CONSIDER BREAST AUGMENTATION:
- You desire enhanced breast volume and shape.
- You wish to restore breast fullness after pregnancy or weight loss.
- You seek to improve breast symmetry and balance.
- You aspire to boost your self-confidence and body image.
- You want to achieve a more proportionate figure.
- You are excited about the potential for increased clothing options.
DR. HARPER CONDUCTS A THOROUGH ASSESSMENT
When you come in for your Indianapolis breast augmentation consultation, Dr. Harper will engage in a comprehensive one-on-one discussion to understand your unique concerns and the aesthetic aspirations driving your decision. During this meeting, please wear a non-padded bra or a shelf tank-top to help Dr. Harper evaluate your physique and select the most suitable options for your desired surgical outcome.
Dr. Harper will meticulously assess your physique, taking chest measurements to determine the implant size that complements your body frame and preferences. You will have the chance to “try on” different implant sizes within your bra, which will help you select the right implants for your needs. Dr. Harper’s commitment to personalized care ensures you make informed decisions to achieve results that truly conform to your goals.
YOU MUST MAKE SEVERAL BREAST IMPLANT DECISIONS
At our office in Indianapolis breast implants are a profoundly personalized journey, demanding a series of crucial decisions to tailor the procedure to your unique desires and goals. These choices include breast size, shape, profile, implant material, and more. Dr. Harper will collaborate closely with you, ensuring every decision aligns with your vision for a beautifully enhanced outcome.
SIZE
Choosing the perfect breast size is an important aspect of your augmentation journey. You can opt for a proportionate enhancement, where your breast size is proportionate to the rest of your body. Alternatively, you can go for the ultimate WOW factor with an enhanced breast size. If you’re an athlete or lead a physically active lifestyle, you should ideally opt for a mild enhancement. Dr. Harper will discuss your goals and help you select the appropriate size.
SHAPE & PROFILE
The contour of your augmented breasts is another important decision. You can opt for round implants, which offer fullness and projection, or teardrop implants, known for their natural slope and tapering appearance. Teardrop implants offer a more natural shape with more fullness at the base. Dr. Harper will help you visualize the final difference between both implant shapes, so you can make an informed decision based on your goals.
IMPLANT MATERIAL
During a breast augmentation Indianapolis patients are given the choice between silicone and saline implants and it is a fundamental decision that influences the look and feel of your augmented breasts. Silicone implants tend to provide a more natural feel and appearance, while saline implants are filled with sterile salt water and require a smaller incision. Dr. Harper will guide you through the benefits of each material, helping you make a decision that resonates with your preferences and goals.
WE OFFER SUBMUSCULAR (BEHIND THE MUSCLE) PLACEMENT
In the submuscular placement, breast implants are strategically positioned beneath the pectoral muscle. The muscle provides an additional layer of coverage over the implant, resulting in a more natural appearance by softening the implant edges and minimizing the risk of visible rippling. This is particularly advantageous for individuals with thinner breast tissue, but it also involves a longer recovery period because it involves manipulating the muscles.
HOW BREAST AUGMENTATION IS PERFORMED
Dr. Harper performs your breast augmentation at an accredited surgical facility under general anesthesia. During surgery, incisions are made based on your chosen incision approach. Dr. Harper creates a pocket beneath the pectoral muscle (submuscular) to accommodate the selected implants, following which the saline or silicone implant is placed. Finally, the incisions are closed with skin adhesive, sutures, or surgical tape. The entire procedure takes less than 1 hour.
YOUR RECOVERY JOURNEY AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION
In the days following surgery, you might experience discomfort, swelling, and mild bruising. Prescription pain medications will be provided to manage any pain or discomfort. You’ll be advised to wear a supportive post-surgical bra to aid in healing and minimize swelling. Rest is crucial during this phase to allow your body to heal. Within a few days, you can gradually transition to gentle activities while still avoiding strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least six weeks. Dr. Harper will evaluate your progress with regular follow-up appointments post.breast augmentation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, breast implants are safe because they’re made of biocompatible materials and approved by regulatory bodies like the FDA. Dr. Harper’s expertise ensures the meticulous placement of implants to minimize risks. Regular follow-ups with our team ensure the safety and health of your implants.
Breast implants feel natural to the touch, resembling real breast tissue. However, the choice between silicone and saline impacts the texture of implants. Dr. Harper’s expertise ensures a balance between achieving your desired look and maintaining a lifelike feel.
Breastfeeding is possible with implants, as they typically don’t interfere with milk production.
A single 300cc silicone implant weighs around 0.69lb, and a pair is about 1.38lb. A 300cc saline implant weighs slightly less at 0.63lb, with a pair weighing around 1.26 lbs. These weights are manageable for most without causing discomfort or posture issues.
Post-surgery, we recommend surgical or medical compression bras for 1-2 months. Wireless sports bras can work as alternatives. These provide crucial support during the initial healing phase, allowing your implants to settle. After 6-7 weeks, you can transition to other bra types.
