Breast augmentation by Plastic Surgeon Dr. Frank L. Stile in Las Vegas, NV at Stile Aesthetics is a cosmetic procedure that is performed to enlarge the breasts for a number of reasons. These reasons may include hypomastia (small breasts), restoration of lost breast volume or size following weight loss, pregnancy or aging, and correction of volume or size and shape differences.
Breast enlargement is accomplished by inserting a silicone breast implant (a.k.a. gel implant, cohesive gel implant, or “gummy bear” implant), or a saline-filled breast implant either directly behind the breast tissue/breast gland, under the chest muscle, or via the dual-plane method most often utilized by Dr. Stile. In the dual-plane method, the upper 2/3 portion of the implant is placed below the pectoralis major muscle and lower 1/3 above the chest muscle.
This technique results in a breast that is not only very natural looking but also feels soft to the touch. Additionally, the breast moves in a more natural way during physical activity. Dr. Stile employs incisions for placement of these implants that heal as inconspicuous as possible, usually around the lower edge of the areola (the darker skin surrounding the nipple). Or in the fold beneath the breast– the inframammary fold.
Breast implants are available in a variety of shapes, sizes, and types. Implant selection in addition to size will depend on a patient’s preferences and anatomy as well as Dr. Stile’s recommendations.
Before patients undergo breast augmentation surgery, they’ll have a complete physical examination. Overall good health is necessary.
When deciding which type of implant to use, patients must keep in mind that age can be a determining factor. One of the distinct differences between saline and silicone breast implants is the age restriction.
Patients must be 18 years of age or older in order to undergo a breast augmentation with saline implants and at least 21 for silicone. Existing native breast tissue, breast shape, and skin elasticity are other factors to take into consideration.
Measurements of the breasts will be taken at your consultation. Measurements of the chest wall especially base width/diameter will help to determine the best implant style for each patient. This evaluation will aid Dr. Stile develop the best breast augmentation plan for you.

Breast augmentation will result in increased size and improved shape of the breasts. It can also help rejuvenate a woman’s figure and help her feel more confident.
Breast augmentation procedure takes approximately 2 hours. After surgery, patients can expect to feel chest soreness and pressure. They will be given post-surgical care instructions and pain medication will be prescribed. Each augmentation patient will leave in a sports bra and clean surgical dressings. There may be some bruising and swelling for about 1 – 3 weeks.
It is recommended that patients only participate in very light activity for the first 2 weeks. After 2 weeks, patients may advance activity but must avoid heavy lifting and resistance training. Most patients experience a full recovery between weeks 4 and 8, and may resume full activity and exercise. Final results, were breasts look and feel natural, can be appreciated after three months.
