What Breast Augmentation Can Do for You
The Benefits of Treatment With Dr. Rassael
Breast augmentation surgery is a safe and effective way to enhance your figure by altering the appearance of your breasts. This procedure can increase breast size, improve symmetry, and correct shape. Breast augmentation is most commonly performed using implants, but it can also use fat taken from another area of the body. The procedure is often combined with a breast lift to help achieve exceptional results.
There are several reasons someone may choose to undergo breast augmentation with our cosmetic surgeon in Chevy Chase, MD:

A 48-year-old woman had A-cup breasts and wanted to achieve a curvier profile that was more proportionate to the rest of her figure. Dr. Rassael placed 500cc MemoryGel® Breast Implants under the muscle for results that look truly transformative, yet completely natural.

Methods for Breast Augmentation Breast Implants and Fatty Tissue
Saline Implants
Saline implants consist of a silicone outer shell filled with sterile saltwater. Unlike pre-filled silicone implants, saline implants are inserted as empty shells and filled after insertion. Because they only require a small incision, there is less chance of visible scarring. Patients with modest breast tissue often prefer the look of saline implants to silicone. While silicone appears more natural, saline typically appears rounder and more pronounced. This option also provides an affordable alternative to silicone.
Silicone Implants
Silicone implants are filled with silicone gel, and compared to saline implants, provide a more natural look and a closer feel to breast tissue. These implants require a slightly larger incision, sit higher on your chest, and may feel lighter than saline. The benefit of silicone gel is its thick consistency. In the slight chance that your implants develop a small tear, the consistency ensures you will not experience leaking of the cohesive material or collapse of the implant.
Fatty Tissue
Women who want only a slight increase in their bust size or a more natural look may consider using their own fatty tissue for breast augmentation. Liposuction is used to remove fatty tissue from your stomach, buttocks, or another area of the body. It is then used to augment your breasts to achieve your desired shape and size. It's often a great option for women who want to slim another area of their body and enhance their bust in the same procedure.
What to Expect During a Breast Augmentation Procedure With Saline or Silicone Breast Implants
During your initial consultation in Chevy Chase, Dr. Rassael will determine if you're a good candidate for breast augmentation by reviewing your medical history and making sure you have realistic expectations about your results. The next steps are to determine which breast implant option is right for you and schedule surgery. Your breast augmentation surgery will involve several steps:
Breast implant placement is completely comfortable with local and general anesthesia.

Making the Most of Your Surgery Procedures That Enhance Breast Augmentation
Many patients choose to receive both breast implants and another procedure for more comprehensive results. Some procedures Dr. Rassael can pair with your breast augmentation at our Chevy Chase cosmetic surgery office include:
Explore a Mommy Makeover For Restored Contours
A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures that aim to address the effects that pregnancy and breastfeeding can have on the body. Patients who have been pregnant or lost weight are prime candidates for this procedure. A mommy makeover from Dr. Rassael in Chevy Chase, MD, can reduce the sagging skin of the breasts, increase breast size, smooth the abdomen by removing excess skin and fat, and enhance the buttocks.
Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Augmentation in Chevy Chase, MD
How do I choose between saline and silicone implants?
Silicone implants have a feel more realistic to natural breast tissue, while saline implants can provide a slightly firmer, more structured appearance. Dr. Rassael will recommend the best option based on your desired feel and aesthetic goals.
Which implant type is safest?
Both saline and silicone implants are FDA-approved, meaning they're both safe. If you're particularly worried about safety, however, our Chevy Chase cosmetic surgeon may recommend saline implants. If this type of implant ruptures, the body can absorb the sterile saltwater naturally. If a silicone implant ruptures, it must be removed immediately.
What is capsular contracture?
The body forms a capsule of scar tissue around anything it considers foreign, like breast implants. While these capsules will help keep your implants in place, in rare cases, the scar tissue can become abnormally dense, causing pain and distortion of the breast implants. This condition is called "capsular contracture." If you have symptoms of capsular contracture, contact our Chevy Chase, MD, office.
How long do breast implants last?
Breast implants aren’t permanent, but they are designed to be long-lasting, and many patients enjoy their results for well over a decade before it’s time to consider any changes.
