Technically known as augmentation mammoplasty, breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breasts for a number of reasons:
Dr. Delatte customizes every breast augmentation to complement the patient’s body proportions, natural breast shape, and personal aesthetic goals. Whether you want a subtle, natural increase or a dramatic transformation, he will help you choose the best options to achieve beautifully balanced, long-lasting results.
During your consultation, Dr. Delatte will help you select the best breast augmentation method—whether using breast implants or fat transfer—for your anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.
Breast augmentation with implants is a highly personalized procedure. Dr. Delatte works alongside each patient to help them select the best implant type, size, and surgical methods for their anatomy and goals.
For women seeking a subtle, natural enhancement, fat transfer breast augmentation offers an alternative to implants by using your body’s own purified fat to add volume and shape to the breasts.
Liposuction is used to collect fat from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, followed by careful processing and reinjection into the breasts for a soft, natural-looking result. Fat transfer breast augmentation is ideal for those who want modest volume enhancement, improved symmetry, or breast contour refinement, all while sculpting another area of the body.
Breast augmentation is more than just an enhancement—it’s about feeling confident in your body. The key benefits include:
Many patients find that breast augmentation enhances their self-image and makes them feel more comfortable in their own skin.
If you want to enhance your breast size, improve symmetry, or restore lost volume, breast augmentation can help you achieve your goals for a more balanced silhouette.
Whether you’ve always wanted fuller breasts, have experienced changes due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging, or simply want to feel more confident in your shape, this procedure can be customized to your needs. Ideal candidates are healthy, non-smoking adults who are at a stable weight and have realistic expectations about their results. With options like silicone or saline implants or natural fat transfer, Dr. Delatte will help you choose the best approach for a natural, beautifully balanced result.
Most patients experience mild swelling and soreness for the first few days after surgery.
A supportive surgical bra will be worn to minimize swelling and support healing. Patients can usually return to light activities within a few days and resume normal daily routines within 1–2 weeks. However, strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for 4–6 weeks. Dr. Delatte and his team provide personalized aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery and optimal results.
Patients will notice immediate improvements in breast size and shape, but final results take a few months as swelling subsides and implants settle into their natural position. Breast augmentation results are long-lasting, especially when combined with a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Delatte specializes in natural-looking, beautifully proportioned results that complement your body and enhance your confidence for years.

Most breast implants last 10–20 years, but they do not have an expiration date. Patients only need replacement if they experience shape, size, or implant integrity changes.
Dr. Delatte uses advanced surgical techniques to minimize scarring, and incision placement is chosen to keep scars as discreet as possible. Over time, scars fade significantly.
Most patients can still breastfeed normally after surgery, especially when implants are placed under the muscle. If breastfeeding is a priority, let Dr. Delatte know during your consultation.
Breast augmentation is suitable for adult women of all ages, as long as they are in good health and have fully developed breasts.
If sagging is a concern, a breast lift can be combined with augmentation to achieve a fuller, more youthful look.
