Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Implants in Atlanta, GA

What is breast augmentation and what does it involve?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast volume, improve symmetry, and enhance overall breast shape using implants or, in some cases, fat transfer. During the procedure, implants are placed either beneath the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle, depending on your anatomy and aesthetic goals. At this Atlanta practice, Dr. DiFrancesco takes a highly individualized approach, carefully evaluating your body proportions, skin quality, and personal vision before recommending any specific technique.

How does breast augmentation work?

Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes one to two hours. Dr. DiFrancesco makes a small incision, creates a pocket for the implant, and positions it with precision to achieve a natural, proportionate result. The incision location, implant placement, and implant type are all determined during your consultation based on your unique anatomy. Every element of the plan is tailored to you, which is why a one-on-one conversation with a board-certified surgeon is so important before moving forward with this breast implants FAQ process.

What concerns can breast augmentation help address?

Breast augmentation may help address a range of concerns, including naturally smaller breast size, volume loss after pregnancy or breastfeeding, breast asymmetry, and changes that occur with age or significant weight fluctuation. For patients who have experienced changes after having children, breast augmentation is sometimes combined with other procedures. If that resonates with your situation, our Mommy Makeover in Atlanta page provides helpful context on how we can personalize combination approaches to your goals.

Am I a good candidate for breast implants?

Good candidates for breast augmentation are generally adults in good overall health who have realistic expectations about outcomes and are seeking improvement rather than perfection. Ideal candidates are non-smokers, have stable body weight, and are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding. Dr. DiFrancesco carefully reviews each patient’s medical history, anatomy, and goals during a private consultation to determine whether breast augmentation is the right path forward.

Who is breast augmentation right for?

Breast augmentation can be a meaningful option for a wide range of patients, from those who have always wanted more volume to those experiencing breast changes after weight loss, aging, or motherhood. It may also be appropriate for patients seeking to correct asymmetry or restore projection lost after breastfeeding. During your consultation, Dr. DiFrancesco will listen carefully to your story and help you understand whether breast augmentation aligns with your goals. You can also browse our before-and-after photo gallery to see real patient outcomes.

What should I expect at my breast augmentation consultation?

Your consultation with Dr. DiFrancesco is a collaborative, unhurried conversation. Expect a thorough physical evaluation, a review of your health history, and an open discussion of your aesthetic goals. Dr. DiFrancesco will walk you through implant options, including size, shape, profile, and material, and explain how each choice may affect your result. You will also have the opportunity to ask every question on your list.

How long does breast augmentation take, and how long do results last?

The surgical procedure itself typically takes one to two hours, depending on the complexity of your plan. Most patients can return home the same day. As for longevity, breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, and the FDA recommends patients be aware that implants may need to be replaced at some point. If you are curious about implant exchange options, our breast implant exchange in Atlanta page offers additional information. Individual results may vary.

Many patients feel comfortable returning to light daily activities within one week, though strenuous exercise and heavy lifting are typically restricted for several weeks.
