Breast Augmentation

One of our most frequently performed procedures at Puget Sound Plastic Surgery near Seattle is breast enlargement. Restorative or corrective breast enhancement can have a dramatic positive impact in a woman's life. Dr. Stridde offers several approaches to breast augmentation, recognizing that every woman has unique needs related to shape, size, and other preferences. Our Seattle breast enlargement patients appreciate this individualized approach.

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure that helps women achieve an increased breast size and improved breast shape. For women who have never been happy with their breast size or fullness, augmentation is a long-term solution that can improve both a woman's look and her outlook. Women in Seattle also choose breast augmentations to restore lost volume following pregnancy or weight loss. Whatever your reason, Dr. Braden Stridde has extensive experience and training in the latest surgical methods, including the latest generation of gel implants, to provide you with a naturally-enhanced look.

Devoted to providing personal care in a comfortable setting, Braden Stridde, M.D. is a board-certified plastic surgeon who looks forward to meeting you.

At Your Consultation

As skilled surgeons performing breast augmentations near Seattle, our doctors are familiar with the various implant types and surgical approaches in order to best meet each of their patients' needs. After a thorough discussion with you at your consultation, Dr. Stridde will guide you through the breast augmentation decision-making process, reviewing implant size, shape, incision location, and position above or below the muscle. Along the way, they will make recommendations or share their preferences, and take the time to explain in detail the various options and trade-offs.

In some cases Dr. Stridde may recommend a breast lift in addition to or instead of a breast augmentation. Seattle women are encouraged to come in for a consultation and see for themselves the personalized attention we provide every patient.

Your Seattle Breast Enlargement Procedure

Breast enlargement usually takes about 1 to 2 hours to perform. Incisions are made as small as possible and located so that they are well concealed. Your breast implants will be placed either above or below the pectoral muscle depending on your preference and surgeon recommendation. If you'd like more detail about exactly how this procedure is performed or specific information about what Dr. Stridde recommends, please contact our office and we'll be happy to share more information.

Recovery after Surgery

After breast augmentation surgery in Seattle, your breasts will be supported with a post-surgical bra to aid in recovery, and you'll be sent home to rest in comfort. All patients receive prescriptions for an adequate supply of pain medication. Some discomfort and lack of energy are common for the first few days, and many women find it helpful to have a friend or loved one to help them around the house for a day or two after their Seattle breast augmentations. A degree of swelling is common, but should steadily diminish over 4 to 6 weeks. You'll be required to wear a surgical support bra to protect your results for a few weeks after the procedure. Dr. Stridde makes every effort to minimize scarring, and scars should begin to lighten and fade after a few months. You should be ready to return to work in about 3 to 7 days.
