WHY GET BREAST AUGMENTATION?
You look in the mirror and cringe. Where did your body go? You eat right and exercise faithfully, but the mirror doesn’t lie. It’s not enough.
You used to show off with bikinis, midriffs, and tight blouses. Now you shop for support bras and loose-fitting tops. You used to be proud of your appearance, but now you come out of the shower in an all-concealing robe to hide from your husband.
You’ve lost confidence at home, and at work. What more can you do?
Would you like to enhance the size, contour, and feel of your breasts? If this is the case, then breast augmentation with breast implants might be right for you.
As you age and after weight loss, pregnancy, and breastfeeding, breasts can lose volume, and skin can sag. Many women say their sagging breasts make them feel older, less confident, and less attractive. The good news is that breast augmentation at Luna Plastic Surgery in John’s Creek, GA can help restore your breasts, boost your confidence, and give you a more assuring outlook!

Choosing the Right Breast Implant Size
Your decision on implant size will be one you live with, so it’s important to get it right. When selecting implants, Dr. Yugueros recommends focusing on the look you want to achieve rather than a cup size. Pictures of models, celebrities, or even friends can give us a good idea of your desired outcome. We invite you to browse our before-and-after gallery for further research.
Some of our patients find the rice test helpful in determining the look they seek. It’s easy: just cut out the foot areas of a pair of pantyhose, fill each with rice, and place it within a sports bra while trying on various garments. Experiment while changing amounts of rice, and take notes and pictures. Record your findings and bring them to your consultation.
Types of Breast Implants
Breast implants come in two basic types: saline and silicone gel. Both are FDA-approved and have provided great results to our patients.
Saline Breast Implants
Saline breast implants have a silicone outer shell that is filled with a sterilized saltwater solution. These implants are inserted deflated, then filled after placement. This requires a smaller incision, minimizing scarring. They generally cost 25% less than silicone implants.
Silicone Breast Implants
Silicone breast implants are silicone shells filled with silicone. Many patients choose silicone implants for their natural appearance and movement. They are inserted pre-filled, requiring a longer incision than saline implants. Advanced silicone options, including Motiva breast implants, offer enhanced implant technology designed for long-lasting shape, softness, and natural-looking results.
Gummy Bear Breast Implants
Gummy bear implants, or form-stable breast implants, are filled with silicone that has a thicker consistency than their first-generation counterparts, making them firmer and less likely to rupture. The shape is more natural, projected at the bottom and tapered at the top.
Breast Implant Shapes
Round and teardrop (anatomical) are the two basic shapes available for breast implants.
Round Breast Implants
Round breast implants are the preferred choice of most plastic surgeons due to ease of insertion and low revision rates. If breast implants rotate, the breast appearance remains the same due to their round shape.
Teardrop Breast Implants
Teardrop breast implants have a more natural shape. If these implants rotate after placement, a revision is required because the breast contour will be affected.
These shapes are popular with patients whose breasts have lost volume from pregnancy, weight loss, or breastfeeding. The advent of texturing has reduced implant movement and improved positional stability after surgery.
What to Expect During Breast Augmentation Surgery
Your procedure will be performed at Emory Johns Creek Hospital. Breast augmentation surgery is usually an outpatient procedure, so you should be able to return home soon after your operation.
You will receive general anesthesia at the start of your procedure. Total surgery time varies depending on the complexity of your surgical plan and whether additional procedures are being performed. In most cases, breast augmentation takes approximately two hours.
During surgery, incisions will be made underneath the breast crease, under the arm, around the areolas, or through the navel. Proper care will be taken to minimize visible scarring.
Dr. Yugueros will create a small pocket between the pectoral muscle and the breast tissue, or underneath the pectoral muscle. The implant will be placed inside the pocket, and the incision will be closed with sutures. The breasts will be supported by a post-surgical garment to aid with the healing process.
What Is Recovery Like After Breast Augmentation?
You will be given written instructions to guide you through your breast augmentation recovery. These directions will include how to prevent infection and when to schedule follow-ups with Dr. Yugueros.
After surgery, you may feel sore for several days. Pain medication will be prescribed to minimize your discomfort during recovery. Bruising should be minimal, but swelling can last for several weeks.
Due to the swelling, the final results of your breast augmentation will not be visible for a few weeks. You will, however, see an immediate difference in the appearance of your breasts.
You should be able to return to work within a week after your surgery. During recovery, a surgical bra should be worn, and physical activities limited for several weeks. Rest and sleep are important to the healing process, though you’ll need to avoid lying on your stomach.
Exercise After Breast Augmentation
Listening to your body and being patient should be the unbroken rule for resuming physical exercise after your surgery.
Your body is the best indicator as to when to get back to your routine of workouts. Returning to exercise too early can cause serious setbacks, like muscle tears, implant shifts, and internal bleeding. When in doubt to start or continue, error on the side of waiting.
Your team at Luna Plastic Surgery & Medical Spa in John’s Creek will be an excellent resource to advise you with your post-operation workouts.
Breast Massage After Surgery
A week after surgery till about 3 months you are encouraged to massage or have your breast massaged. These massages will keep the soft tissue around the breast implant open.
Massaging the breast will allow the pocket and the soft tissue surrounding the implant to remain larger, allowing the implant to move.
Massaging should prevent the soft tissue capsule from shrinking and pressing the implant out of shape. This is known as capsular contraction, and can only be prevented by implant displacement massages
Potential Breast Augmentation Risks and Complications
The decision for surgery must be calculated with results vs risks associated. Dr. Yugueros will advise and inform you of any risks associated with your specific procedure.
Possible breast augmentation surgery risks include:
- Anesthesia risks
- Bleeding/Hematoma
- Infection
- Changes in nipple or breast sensation
- Poor scarring
- Faulty position of the implant
- Leakage or rupture
- Capsular contracture
- Fluid acclamation
- Wrinkling of the skin over the implant
- Persistent pain
- Possibility of revision surgery
Choosing the Best Breast Augmentation Surgeon in Atlanta
Although breast augmentation is common and less risk-averse than 30 years ago, choosing a surgeon for any surgery is of paramount importance. Sadly, any doctor with a license can legally perform breast augmentation surgery despite having no specialized training.
It is vital for your plastic surgeon to have the right qualifications and credentials. These include board certification, and being in good standing with the various medical boards. It also includes education, experience, and satisfied patients.
Don’t forget the support staff. Make sure they are professional, friendly, and caring. These will be the people to lean on during your recovery. Make sure you are comfortable with the entire team.
It is important to do your research and visit the doctor personally. It is important to visit the facility where the surgery will take place. Don’t rush! You should take the time to get well-informed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Augmentation
How Do I Choose the Right Breast Implant Size?
Choosing the right implant size is about creating balanced, natural-looking proportions that fit your body frame and personal goals, not simply choosing a bra cup size. During your consultation, Dr. Yugueros will evaluate your anatomy, lifestyle, and desired outcome to recommend implant options that complement your figure.
Many patients find it helpful to bring inspiration photos or try at-home sizing methods, such as the “rice test,” to better visualize potential results before surgery.
When Can I Exercise After Breast Augmentation?
Most patients can return to light activity within a few days after breast augmentation, but strenuous exercise and upper-body workouts should be avoided for several weeks. Dr. Yugueros will guide you through a gradual transition back to your normal exercise routine based on your healing progress. It is important to follow her recommendations and be patient to avoid setbacks like muscle tears, implant shifts, and internal bleeding.
Do I Need to Massage My Breasts After Breast Augmentation?
Some patients may be instructed to perform breast implant massage after surgery to help keep the implant pocket soft and flexible during healing. However, post-operative massage recommendations vary based on the type of implant used and your surgical technique.
Dr. Yugueros will provide personalized aftercare instructions and let you know whether breast massage is recommended as part of your recovery plan.
What Are the Risks of Breast Augmentation Surgery?
While complications are rare, every surgery carries some risk. Potential risks of breast augmentation include infection, bleeding, implant leakage or rupture, capsular contracture, scarring, changes in nipple or breast sensation, and the possibility of revision surgery.
