Breast Augmentation in Nashville, TN

Breast augmentation or a “boob job” is the most popular plastic surgery performed according to the American Society of Plastic Surgery or ASPS. A breast augmentation restores volume to your breast with typically an implant. Breast implants are approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and have been since 1976 and were introduced to the US in 1962. There are few different types of breast implants on the market today. There are saline breast implants, silicone breast implants as well as ‘gummy bear’ or shaped silicone implants available today.

Saline breast implants are filled with salt water. If a saline implant is to leak, then it would deflate, and the body would absorb the saline. The shape of saline implants is only round.

Silicone breast implants are made of silicone gel. These implants feel more like natural breast tissue versus saline breast implants. If silicone implant is to leak the gel remains within its shell. Silicone implants come in either round or shaped or gummy bear silicone implants. The gummy bear breast implants are made of silicone gel but are a little thicker feeling than the round silicone implants. The gummy bear implants are tapered at the top and a little fuller at the bottom more similar to a natural breast or tear drop.

All implants come in different widths, heights and projections. At your consultation with Dr. Chad Robbins he will measure to make sure the implant chosen for you fits your chest wall nicely to achieve your aesthetic goals.

Following your breast augmentation surgery, you will be wrapped in a bandage that will stay in place for 3 days. After removing the bandage, you may shower and then will wear a sports bra for 6 weeks following your surgery. You may resume normal physical activities after 3 weeks. Pain following surgery is worse the first 3 days, but then tends to subside as time goes on.

At Robbins Plastic Surgery we strive to provide the best quality care for our patients. Dr. Chad Robbins is a board-certified plastic surgeon and was voted Nashville’s Best Nip and Tuck Doctor by the Nashville Scene.

Silicone, Saline, or Gummy Bear: Which breast implants are right for me?

Breast Augmentation or breast implants is the single most popular cosmetic surgery performed in the world. Women choose to undergo this surgery for several reasons. Some are looking to achieve more volume, correct asymmetry, while others are looking to replace breast tissue that has been lost after pregnancy, breastfeeding or weight loss.

Saline implants are round implants with sterile water making up the inside. The outer lining of the implant is made from silicone.
Silicone implants are made of silicone gel. These implants feel more natural and feel more like a women’s own natural breast tissue compared to saline implants.
Gummy bear or form stable implants are versus shaped silicone implant. The gummy bear implant gives a more natural look over the round silicone implant.

83% of women choose silicone implants over saline implants. Silicone implants are safe and FDA approved. At your consultation with Dr. Chad Robbins, a board certified plastic surgeon, you will see saline and silicone implants and the differences will be discussed with you. Dr. Chad Robbins will help you in making the decision on saline vs. silicone based on what you are looking to achieve and your desired outcome.

When the implant is placed, a small incision is made in the crease of the breast. This scar is concealed in bathing suits and even without clothing so that patients can feel good about themselves. Implants can be placed over the muscle or under the muscle. Placing over the muscle may be an easier way, but placing under the muscle gives a more natural appearance.

Dr. Chad Robbins is an artist in his own way! How could a surgeon be an artist? Choosing breast implants that are right for you as a patient, truly is an art! The height of the patient, width of their chest wall, starting volume of breast tissue and ultimately the desired size and shape you wish to be after surgery all determine the size of the implant. Breast implants are unique to each patient. Check our Robbins Plastic Surgery before and after breast augmentation gallery to see his artistry!

Recovery after a breast augmentation has minimal downtime. Patients go home from surgery the same day. The first few days after surgery you may experience some pain, but this is managed with pain medication. Patients return to work approximately 1 week after surgery and are back in the gym after 3 weeks. That’s a short amount of time for a big gain!

Most women after this surgery say they wish they had done it sooner. They feel more confident in and out of clothing. At Robbins Plastic Surgery we believe confidence is beautiful!
