Deciding if It’s Time
If you're looking to add fullness, correct minor breast asymmetry, or simply restore breast volume lost, you are likely a good candidate. The best breast augmentation patients for this surgical procedure are healthy women who approach the process with clear, positive goals and realistic expectations. The surgery successfully addresses concerns like underdeveloped breasts, volume loss after weight loss or breastfeeding, or seeking to improve a previous breast surgery result. This treatment successfully addresses common concerns such as small or underdeveloped breasts lacking adequate breast tissue, the loss of breast volume and firmness often referred to as sagging breasts, and differences in size and shape between the breasts. It also helps patients find solutions for improving outcomes from previous cosmetic procedures.
For eligibility, treatment requires that you are in good general physical and emotional health, are a non-smoker or are willing to quit temporarily, have completed breast development (typically age 18 for saline implants and 22 for silicone breast implants), and do not have any active infections or serious underlying health conditions that could complicate breast augmentation surgery.
Your Vision, Our Expertise
The best part of the modern breast augmentation is the extensive amount of choices available, making the breast augmentation procedure truly personalized to your body and goals. You have options regarding material, implant size, shape, and placement. Dr. Quinn will meticulously review all the options below to design a plan that feels perfect for you.
The choice of implant material is a key factor in how your final results will look and feel. These are the primary breast implant types we utilize, all of which are FDA approved.
These implants are filled with highly cohesive silicone gel. They are often chosen because they closely mimic the feel and movement of natural breast tissue. We utilize premium options like Mentor Memory Gel silicone gel implants, known for providing outstanding, durable results and minimizing the risk of visible rippling sometimes associated with other types.
Saline implants are inserted in an empty form, featuring a durable implant shell, and then filled with sterile salt water once securely in the surgical pocket. Saline implants require only a smaller incision site and allow for precise volume adjustment during the breast augmentation procedure.
Implants come in different shapes and a wide range of implant sizes, measured in cubic centimeters (CCs). The final size and shape of your breasts will be a collaboration between you and Dr. Quinn.
These provide uniform fullness and projection, creating a lifted and shapely appearance, often maximizing upper pole cleavage. This type of implant is suitable for many women seeking significant fullness.
These are also pre-filled but designed with a tapered top and fuller bottom. Teardrop silicone breast implants mimic the natural breast volume distribution and are ideal for achieving a more subtle, anatomical augmentation.
Dr. Quinn is dedicated to minimizing visible scarring, which is highly dependent on where the smaller incision is strategically placed. His advanced techniques ensure scars are as discreet as possible.
The incision is made high in the armpit (axilla), allowing Dr. Quinn to place the implants without leaving a scar tissue mark on the breasts themselves. Dr. Quinn is a leading specialist in this advanced techniques, which is often preferred by breast augmentation patients.
A smaller incision is placed in the natural breast crease (inframammary fold) beneath the breast. Scars in this area are typically well-hidden once fully healed, offering direct access to the chest wall.
This decision determines where the implant sits in relation to your pectoral muscle and glandular tissue.
The implant is placed partially or fully beneath the pectoral muscle. This submuscular placement is often recommended as it provides extra tissue coverage, which can lead to a softer appearance, a more natural drape, and may help minimize the risk of capsular contracture.
The implants are positioned directly behind the glandular tissue and in front of the pectoral muscle. This placement may be best for breast augmentation patients who already have sufficient natural breast tissue coverage.
Your Personalized Plan
Your initial consultation is a collaborative conversation. You will meet privately with board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Quinn to discuss your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, and gain a full understanding of the breast augmentation procedure.
Preparation will include obtaining necessary health clearances for the surgical procedure. We will give you instructions on adjusting medications or supplements, including which pain medications to avoid prior to surgery. You will also need to arrange for a family member or friend to drive you home after the breast implant surgery at the hospital outpatient facility or surgery center, and assist you for the first 24 hours.
Confidence, Simplified
Your breast augmentation will be performed as an outpatient surgical procedure at an accredited hospital, outpatient facility, or local surgery center in the Kansas City area, typically under general anesthesia for your maximum comfort. The entire breast augmentation procedure usually takes approximately one hour, but can vary based on the specifics of the breast implant types used. Dr. Quinn uses a precise approach, creating a pocket for the implants, inserting the chosen silicone breast implants or saline implants (often using the No-Touch Funnel Technique for sterility), and meticulously closing the incisions with careful use of surgical tape.
The Full Strategy
Many women in the Lenexa area choose to combine their breast augmentation with other cosmetic procedures or body contouring treatments to achieve a more comprehensive result.
A highly personalized combination of different cosmetic procedures—often a Tummy Tuck and some form of Breast Enhancement or breast lift—designed to restore the body to its pre-pregnancy contours.
For patients who find they have significant skin laxity or sagging breasts, a breast lift is performed to remove excess skin and reposition the nipple, creating a firmer foundation for the new breast implants.
Liposuction can be combined with breast augmentation for gentle body contouring of the surrounding areas. Alternatively, fat transfer can be used to add subtle volume to the breasts for a minor boob job or to mask the edges of the implants.
Healing With Grace
Recovery is manageable and requires a few weeks of following specific instructions for a smooth recovery. You will return home the same day. Immediately post-operation, you may feel discomfort and tightness, which is effectively managed with prescribed pain medications. You will be encouraged to move gently to promote blood flow.
Dr. Quinn generally instructs breast augmentation patients to avoid wearing compression garments, as this allows the implants to naturally settle. Light, desk-based work can often be resumed within three to five days. However, vigorous activity, including strenuous exercise, heavy lifting, and activities that engage the pectoral muscle, are typically restricted for a few weeks (around four to six weeks) to facilitate the optimal healing process.
The New Normal
You will notice an immediate change in breast size. However, the final, soft, and settled appearance will emerge gradually. The initial settling phase occurs over the first few weeks as the breasts begin to drop and soften once swelling subsides. Beautiful, fully settled natural looking results are typically visible around three to five months post-surgery. While breast implants are considered long-lasting, they are not lifetime devices. For longevity, regular check-ups are important to monitor the integrity of the silicone shell or implant shell and to detect any early signs of breast implant rupture or capsular contracture.
Understanding the Investment
Every breast augmentation at Quinn Plastic Surgery & Aesthetic Center is fully customized, meaning there is no single fixed price. The total investment for your breast implant surgery is influenced by several critical factors, including the specific type of implants (silicone implants or saline implants), the amount of silicone filler used, the surgical technique, and whether a breast lift or other body contouring is included. To help every patient achieve their goals, we review payment options. Your comprehensive quote will be transparent and will include the board-certified plastic surgeon’s fee (Dr. Quinn's fee), hospital outpatient facility or surgery center fees, anesthesia fees for the board-certified anesthesiologist, the cost of the implants themselves, and all necessary post-operative appointments. We encourage you to schedule a consultation today to receive a personalized quote based on your unique size and shape requirements.
The FDA-approved guidelines suggest that women with silicone gel implants should get their first MRI three years after the initial breast implant surgery, and then every two years thereafter. This is the best way to detect a silent breast implant rupture since these pre-filled silicone implants may not show external signs of leakage.
Studies show that submuscular placement (under the pectoral muscle) is associated with a lower rate of capsular contracture, which is the hardening of the scar tissue capsule that naturally forms around the implants. Dr. Quinn will discuss which placement is best to minimize potential complications for you.
Dr. Quinn achieves a natural looking result by emphasizing the right size and shape relative to your chest wall dimensions. He utilizes advanced techniques like the No-Touch technique and careful pocket creation to ensure the implants settle beautifully, avoiding an unnatural or high appearance.
Breast augmentation adds breast volume using implants. A breast lift (mastopexy) removes excess skin and tightens the breast tissue to raise the nipple and correct sagging breasts. You may need a combination procedure if you want both more size and correction for ptosis.
For very minor increases in breast volume, sometimes a fat transfer (lipofilling) using your own body fat can be performed. This option offers a modest, very natural looking enhancement without the use of an implant shell but cannot achieve the size increase of traditional breast implants.
Yes, it is common to feel discomfort and tightness across the chest wall for the first few weeks. You will be given pain medications to manage this. The feeling is often described as muscle soreness, which typically improves significantly within the first week of the healing process.
