Breast Augmentation
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and fullness of the breasts using carefully selected breast implants.
The procedure can add volume to naturally smaller breasts, restore fullness that has changed with pregnancy, weight loss, or aging, and improve balance between the breasts and the rest of the body.
Breast augmentation is highly customizable. Dr. Phu C. Tran considers your natural anatomy, proportions, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals when helping you select an implant and surgical approach designed to complement your individual figure.

Procedure
Breast augmentation is performed using implants selected specifically for your anatomy and aesthetic goals. Depending on your treatment plan, implants may be filled with silicone gel or saline and are available in a variety of sizes and profiles.
During surgery, Dr. Tran creates a carefully planned incision and forms a pocket for the implant either above or beneath the chest muscle, depending on your anatomy and the surgical approach selected. The implants are then positioned to create the desired shape, projection, and balance before the incisions are carefully closed.
Breast augmentation is typically performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. The exact technique, implant selection, incision location, and placement will be discussed with you before surgery so you understand how your procedure has been customized for you.
Recovery
Breast augmentation recovery is a gradual process, with most patients returning to normal daily activities as swelling and discomfort subside and the breasts settle into their new shape.
Immediate Post-Operative
Swelling, tightness, soreness, and temporary changes in breast sensation are common during the initial stages of recovery. You may be asked to wear a supportive surgical bra as your incisions heal and your breasts begin adjusting to the implants.
Return to Activities
Many patients can gradually return to non-strenuous work and normal daily activities within approximately one to two weeks, although individual recovery times vary. Exercise, heavy lifting, and strenuous upper-body activity will need to be limited until Dr. Tran determines that it is safe to resume them.
Final Results
Your breasts may initially appear higher, firmer, or fuller than expected following surgery. As swelling subsides and the surrounding tissues relax, the implants gradually settle into a more natural position and your breast shape continues to refine. While you will notice an immediate change in breast volume, it can take several months for your final contour to fully develop.
Cost
Breast augmentation in Fresno typically starts around $7,000, with the final cost depending on your choice of implants, surgical technique, anatomy, and individualized treatment plan.
Following your consultation with Dr. Tran, our team will provide detailed pricing based on your specific procedure. Your total investment may include the implants, surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, surgical facility fees, and other costs associated with your care.
Because breast augmentation is an elective cosmetic procedure, it is generally not covered by health insurance.
FAQ’s
Breast augmentation may be appropriate if you would like to increase breast volume, improve shape or symmetry, restore fullness that has changed over time, or create proportions that better reflect your aesthetic goals. Dr. Tran will evaluate your anatomy, health, and expectations during your consultation to determine whether breast augmentation is appropriate for you.
Choosing an implant involves much more than selecting a cup size. Dr. Tran considers your chest dimensions, existing breast tissue, skin quality, body proportions, desired projection, and aesthetic goals to help identify an implant that complements your figure.
Both silicone and saline implants have an outer silicone shell, but they differ in what fills the implant and how they feel and behave. Each option has its own advantages and considerations, which Dr. Tran will review with you based on your anatomy and preferences.
Breast augmentation can create very natural-looking results when implant selection and surgical planning are carefully matched to the patient's anatomy. Implant size, profile, placement, existing breast tissue, and overall body proportions all influence the final appearance.
Several incision approaches can be used for breast augmentation. The recommended location will depend on factors including your anatomy, implant choice, and surgical plan. Dr. Tran will explain the location of your proposed incisions and anticipated scarring during your consultation.
Temporary changes in breast or nipple sensation can occur following breast augmentation. Sensation often improves as healing progresses, although permanent changes are possible and will be discussed as part of the risks of surgery.
Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, but there is no predetermined date at which they must automatically be replaced. Some patients may eventually require additional surgery because of implant-related changes, complications, changes to the surrounding breast tissue, or a desire to alter or remove their implants.
Breast implants can restore volume and improve breast shape, but they do not address significant breast sagging on their own. When greater lifting or repositioning is needed, Dr. Tran may recommend combining breast augmentation with a breast lift.
Many women are able to breastfeed after breast augmentation, but surgery can potentially affect milk production or breastfeeding ability. If future breastfeeding is important to you, discuss this with Dr. Tran when planning your procedure.
Your breasts will continue to change naturally with age, gravity, pregnancy, weight fluctuations, and hormonal changes even after augmentation. Some patients eventually choose additional surgery to replace or remove their implants or address changes in the surrounding breast tissue.
