Breast Augmentation & Lift

ACPS board-certified surgeons perform breast augmentation, breast lift, and combined augmentation-mastopexy procedures using silicone or saline implants tailored to individual anatomy and aesthetic goals. The practice has refined its breast surgery techniques over nearly three decades, offering both sub-muscular and pre-pectoral implant planes and multiple incision options. Surgeries are performed at the on-site ACPS Surgicentre, an accredited ambulatory facility, under general anaesthesia with same-day discharge. A thorough consultation with the patient's chosen surgeon and a patient coordinator ensures that implant style, profile, and volume are aligned with the patient's frame and desired outcome.

Breast surgery at the Aesthetic Center for Plastic Surgery Houston encompasses a range of procedures designed to enhance, restore, or reshape the breast profile, each customised to the patient's anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic vision. Breast augmentation uses prosthetic implants — silicone gel or saline-filled — to increase breast volume and projection. ACPS surgeons are proficient in both sub-muscular (beneath the pectoralis major) and pre-pectoral (above the muscle) implant placement, the choice between which depends on the patient's existing tissue coverage, body composition, and aesthetic priorities. Silicone gel implants are available in a range of shapes — round and anatomical (teardrop) — and surface textures, and in profiles from low to extra-high. ACPS surgeons work with multiple implant manufacturers and maintain a broad range of sizer and implant inventory to permit intraoperative fine-tuning. Incision options include the inframammary fold (IMF), periareolar, and transaxillary approaches, each with distinct scar placement and access advantages discussed during consultation. Breast lift (mastopexy) addresses ptosis — the drooping of the breast and downward migration of the nipple-areola complex — that may result from gravity, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight fluctuation. The procedure repositions the nipple-areola complex to a more anatomically correct position on the breast mound, removes excess skin, and reshapes the underlying breast tissue to improve projection and contour. Scar patterns vary from the periareolar (donut) technique for mild ptosis to the vertical (lollipop) and inverted-T (anchor) techniques for moderate and severe degrees. Combined augmentation-mastopexy addresses both volume deficiency and skin laxity in a single anaesthetic episode, though it is a more technically demanding procedure requiring the surgeon to balance the tension of the lift with the volume added by the implant. Post-operative care at ACPS includes a surgical bra, activity restrictions, and follow-up visits at defined intervals. Most patients return to desk work within seven to ten days and resume full physical activity at six weeks. Procedures are performed at the ACPS Surgicentre, a fully accredited ambulatory surgical centre co-located with the practice, ensuring continuity of care from consultation through post-operative follow-up.
