Why Get Breast Implants?
There are many reasons to consider breast augmentation surgery. Increased breast size can adjust the proportions of your body as a whole, changing your overall figure to something more in line with your self-image. Likewise, implants can correct asymmetrical breasts so that both have the same volume and form—ideal for patients seeking improved symmetry after weight loss, pregnancy, or a lifetime of uneven breasts.
Whatever your reasons for seeking breast augmentation, Dr. Watts will work with you during your consultation to clearly understand your goals and preferences.
Dr. Robyn Watts
Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeon
Dr. Robyn Watts is a board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in breast reconstruction, cosmetic breast surgery, and body contouring. Trained in Canada and the U.S., she leads plastic surgery at Richmond Hospital, practices at Cambie Surgical Centre, teaches at UBC, and is known for meticulous technique, compassion, and natural results.
What Are the Basics of Breast Enhancement?
Breast augmentation is one of the most widespread and well-established cosmetic surgeries, with minor variations applied based on each patient’s individual anatomy and goals.
For all patients, a small incision is made near the breast to allow Dr. Robyn Watts to insert the breast implant. This incision is typically made below the breast, in the breast crease, and for a small number of patients, it may be made under the arm. The ideal incision placement will be determined during the initial consultation, with Dr. Robyn Watts explaining the benefits of the incision positioning and answering questions about the placement.
The implant is carefully inserted to sit either under the breast gland or under the pectoralis muscle, depending on which position is best for the patient. For the majority of Dr. Watts’ patients, this proves to be under the muscle. As with the incision choice, implant positioning is discussed during your consultation. Breasts may be further enhanced with fat grafting, which “softens” the appearance of breasts augmented with implants for a more natural-looking result.
What Are the Different Types of Breast Implants?
Patients who choose breast augmentation with us in Richmond have two options from trusted manufacturers Mentor and Allergan: saline or silicone implants.
The first option, a saline-filled implant, contains a sterile saltwater solution. If a rare complication causes this implant to leak, the saline is safely reabsorbed by the body.
The second option, silicone gel, can sometimes better replicate the look and feel of natural breast tissue due to silicone’s cohesive structure. Silicone is also more likely to remain in place in the event of a rupture, which makes routine imaging and check-ups an important part of long-term care.
The exact benefits of each implant type—and how they apply to you—will be discussed in detail during your consultation.
What Can I Expect from the Breast Augmentation Procedure and Recovery?
Once a desired look and strategy have been established, the following steps are fairly straightforward. The surgery takes place at a private facility near Vancouver General Hospital and lasts approximately one to two hours. You’ll be able to return home the same day. Since general anesthesia is used, you must arrange for someone to drive you to and from the procedure.
As soon as you return home, your recovery begins. Upper body movement may be uncomfortable and initially limited, so we recommend having someone available to assist you for the first day or two.
After one week, most patients can return to work—as long as heavy lifting and strenuous exercise are avoided. After six weeks, you can resume upper body workouts. Dr. Watts and her team will be with you throughout your recovery to address any concerns and support optimal healing.
What Other Breast Procedures Are Available with Dr. Watts?
Breast augmentation is an ideal way to achieve the proportions you want—but volume may be just one aspect of your goals. For example, a breast lift is a perfect complementary procedure that can be performed at the same time as your augmentation. A lift can correct nipple position and restore a youthful perkiness by elevating the breasts—something implants alone cannot do.
Are you concerned that sagging skin on your arms or back might take away from your newly enhanced figure? An upper body lift or arm lift may be right for you. These procedures remove loose skin caused by aging or weight loss to restore a tighter, more youthful appearance that aligns with your breast augmentation results.
