Before and After Breast Augmentation: Results for Every Body & Lifestyle

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular and transformative cosmetic procedures I perform at my practice—and for good reason. I find that by carefully personalizing your breast surgery to your body frame and aesthetic goals, I can create the most rewarding results for you.

Let’s walk through what you can expect before and after your breast augmentation surgery—and how we collaborate to tailor results that match your unique body and lifestyle.

Start With Your Ideal Vision of Beauty

Your ideal breast augmentation results start with your personal goals. Do you want to restore volume after pregnancy? Create a better balance in your body proportions? Feel more confident in clothing? During your consultation, I listen carefully to understand your motivations and what you envision. From there, I develop a customized plan that reflects your anatomy and lifestyle.

Because breast augmentation is so highly personal, it’s essential to spend time discussing what you want—not just in terms of size, but how you want your body to look and feel every day. Some patients want a dramatic transformation, while many seek subtle, natural-looking enhancement.

These before-and-after breast implant photos showcase real Diaz Plastic Surgery patients, demonstrating the possibilities of your own transformation:

Tailoring Breast Augmentation to Different Body Types

As you can see, there’s no such thing as a “one-size-fits-all” approach to breast surgery. I help my patients navigate a wide range of options, including:

• Implant type: Silicone vs. saline
• Shape: Round vs. teardrop
• Profile: How far the implants project from the chest
• Size: Based on your body proportions and vision

Petite frames often benefit from moderate or high-profile implants which are narrower, while low-profile implants may be a better choice for women with a wider frame. Women who prefer subtle fullness are typically drawn to teardrop-shaped implants, which mimic the slope of natural breasts. Round implants are better for creating upper pole fullness, or cleavage.

I use advanced 3D imaging during consultations so you can visualize different outcomes and feel confident in your choices.

How Lifestyle Shapes Your Surgical Plan

Your lifestyle plays a vital role in how we plan your surgery. Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast, a busy mom, or both, I guide you toward choices that match your daily routine and long-term goals.

Your augmentation plan should support—not restrict—how you live and move every day. Together, we’ll explore considerations such as:

• How implants may affect exercise or physical activity
• Implant durability and the likelihood of future procedures
• How to protect and maintain your results over time

For example, if you’re highly active or an athlete, I may recommend a smaller implant to preserve ease of movement and accommodate your on-the-go lifestyle. If you’re a bodybuilder, subglandular implant placement may be the best to keep the pectoral muscle undisturbed. If you’ve had children or your breasts have started to sag with age, a breast augmentation with lift might be the best option for you.

Thinking Ahead & Preserving Your Look

While implants are not considered lifetime devices, breast augmentation results typically last 10 to 15 years or longer with proper care. I use high-quality saline and silicone gel implants for long-lasting shape and durability.

To maintain your results:

• Wear supportive bras, especially during workouts
• Protect your skin from sun damage
• Maintain a stable weight

I also specialize in breast revision surgery for patients who want to replace their implants. This procedure is commonly performed to:

• Change the size of the implants to go larger or smaller
• Switch to a different type of implant, such as from a saline implant to the latest silicone gel implants
• Create a different look, such as going from a rounder result to a more sloped appearance
• Correct complications that may have arisen since your previous breast augmentation

When I perform revision surgery, it is often possible for me to utilize the original incision pattern to prevent new scarring.

Loving Your Results for the Long Term

To help you envision what’s possible with a personalized approach, let’s take a look at one of my real patient cases. This patient in her mid-30s, shown at both 6 weeks and 2 years post-op. With her lean frame, I recommended submuscular placement of silicone implants to ensure a smooth, natural-looking transition from the chest wall. The outcome delivered the shape, symmetry, and lasting fullness she was seeking—results that continue to look beautiful and will age gracefully over time.

Realistic Expectations & Natural-Looking Outcomes

A successful outcome begins with setting realistic expectations. I focus on results that look balanced and natural for your body—not overdone or artificial.

To attain the “after” results you envision, discussing specific aspects of your transformation before surgery is essential. During your consultation, we’ll thoroughly explore:

• Your desired cup size and proportions
• How the implants will look and “behave” with your body in motion
• The longevity of the results

The goal is to deliver a result that feels authentically you—but with added confidence!

As the transformations below illustrate, every body is different, and so are the paths to confidence and rejuvenation. The best breast augmentation results come in all shapes and sizes!
