What Breast Augmentation Is
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that increases breast volume and improves overall contour using breast implants. It can enhance shape, add fullness, and improve proportion—especially when breast volume has changed due to pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or natural aging.
Dr. Rockwell focuses on results that suit your frame, your goals, and your lifestyle—whether you want a subtle enhancement or more noticeable fullness.

Breast Augmentation FAQs
How is implant size chosen?
Size is chosen using anatomy, tissue characteristics, and your desired outcome—not just a cup size.
Will I have scars?
All surgery involves incisions. Dr. Rockwell plans incision placement carefully and provides scar-care guidance.
How long do implants last?
Implants are long-lasting but not considered lifetime devices. Some patients choose revision later due to preference changes or natural tissue changes.
Can augmentation correct asymmetry?
Mild asymmetry can often be improved; Dr. Rockwell will discuss realistic outcomes during consultation.
When will I see final results?
You’ll see improvement early, but settling and refinement typically take weeks to months.
