Are You Unhappy with The Shape or Size of Your Breasts?
When you’re seeking a breast augmentation in St. Louis, the right surgeon can be the difference between looking overdone and still looking like you, just more balanced and proportionate.
At St. Louis Institute of Plastic Surgery, Dr. Kevin Chen and Dr. Brian Mailey approach your procedure with years of experience in reconstructive surgery, bringing a deep understanding of your anatomy that few other surgeons can match.
As fellowship-trained, board-certified plastic surgeons, they combine academic leadership, advanced surgical training, and warm, personalized care to help you look and feel your best.
What Breast Augmentation Can Do For Your Body & Your Confidence
Breast augmentation can restore volume, shape, and correct asymmetry in your breasts, giving you the proportionate, balanced contours you’ve always wanted.
i.
Restore Shape & Volume After Pregnancy
If pregnancy or breastfeeding has caused volume loss in your breasts, augmentation can restore fullness and make your chest look more proportionate to the rest of your body.
ii.
Correct Asymmetry or Signs of Aging
If your breasts are uneven or have started to sag over time, augmentation can create a more symmetrical, balanced appearance.
iii.
Create The Shape You’ve Always Wanted
Whether you’re looking for a subtle enhancement or a more noticeable change, Dr. Chen and Dr. Mailey personalize your procedure to create the shape and proportion that feels right for you.
Is Breast Augmentation
The Right Step For You?
You may benefit from breast augmentation if:
- Your breasts are smaller than you’d like or out of proportion with your body
- You’ve lost volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight changes, or aging
- You have an asymmetry that affects the way your clothing fits
- You’re in good overall health
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals to determine whether this procedure aligns with your vision. Dr. Chen and Dr. Mailey may recommend additional procedures, such as a breast lift, to achieve the look you want.
Customize Your Shape & Size with Breast Implants
Whether you prefer implants or a fat transfer breast augmentation, we’ll recommend the best approach to help you achieve your goals:
Saline Breast Implants
Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater to create a structured shape, and their volume can be adjusted during surgery.
May be right for you if:
- You want a slightly firmer feel
- You prefer a smaller incision
- You want the option of adjusting size during the procedure
Silicone Breast Implants
Silicone implants are filled with a cohesive gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue.
May be right for you if:
- You want a softer, more natural feel
- You have less natural breast tissue
- You want a smooth, natural-looking contour
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
Fat transfer uses your own fat from another area of your body to add subtle volume to your breasts.
May be right for you if:
- You’re looking for a modest increase in size
- You prefer to avoid implants
- You want added contouring in areas like the abdomen or thighs
