Breasts are an important part of a woman’s body. If you’re displeased with the size or shape of your breasts, you may feel insecure about your looks and uncomfortable in your own skin. Fortunately, breast augmentation surgery at Pacific Sound Plastic Surgery in Bellevue can improve the look of your breasts after a life event, such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss. It may be just what you need to look and feel like your best self.
If you’re unsatisfied with the size or shape of your breasts, breast augmentation may be a good option. It might also make sense if you hope to correct breast asymmetry or reconstruct your breasts after mastectomy. Often times, women who have had breastfed children or have lost volume in their breasts due to aging undergo a breast augmentation to help increase the volume and restore suppleness. During a private consultation, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kris Day will help you determine if breast augmentation is right for you.
There are a number of reasons you may move forward with a breast augmentation procedure at Pacific Sound Plastic Surgery.
At Pacific Sound Plastic Surgery, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Kris Day is pleased to perform the no-touch technique during breast augmentation procedures. It involves the Keller Funnel, which is a cone device that allows our surgeon to place FDA-approved, highly cohesive implants in the breast without physical touch. This reduces the risk of contamination from bacteria that naturally live on our skin, lessens surgery time, and lowers the chances of complications, such as capsular contraction.
Prior to your breast augmentation, Dr. Day will provide a thorough overview of what to expect before, during, and after your procedure. Patient safety is our number one priority, and we want to ensure you feel relaxed and at ease for your breast augmentation surgery.
After your breast augmentation surgery, you’ll likely feel a bit sore and tired for a few days. You may also experience minor swelling, bruising, or discomfort around your breast area. At your initial follow-up, we’ll remove the gauze and encourage you to wear a surgical bra to keep your breasts in place and expedite the recovery process.
As long as you refrain from heavy lifting and vigorous physical activity, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to resume your everyday routine in a few days. If you work a desk job, you may even go back to work a week after the procedure.
We will provide you with detailed recovery instructions and see you in our office for follow-up visits to ensure you’re healing safely. You’ll enjoy the beautiful, natural results once their swelling subsides.
Following your procedure, you’ll notice larger, firmer, more youthful looking breasts. Patients can expect to feel more confident in their own skin, fill out their clothes better, and have the cup size that they finally desire.

Once a breast implant is in place, scar tissue forms around it and creates a tissue capsule. Capsular contracture is one common risk of breast augmentation. It arises when the breast implant hardens and changes in appearance. Fortunately, the no-touch method we use at Pacific Sound Plastic Surgery in Bellevue significantly reduces the risk of this complication.
Over the last several years, there have been many improvements in the design and performance of breast implants. In the past, breast implants required a replacement every 10 years. Now, they can last for far longer, especially when they are the FDA-approved, highly cohesive implants that have been inserted by a skilled breast augmentation surgeon like Dr. Kris Day.
Absolutely! Pregnancy and childbirth leave many women with smaller, saggier breasts. With breast augmentation, you can restore your lost breast volume and enjoy the breasts you may have had before having kids. It’s typical for our patients to get tummy tucks, liposuction, mommy makeover, or other procedures with breast augmentation to achieve optimal results.
A mammogram can detect breast cancer early and is vital for women over the age of 40. If you get a mammogram and have had breast augmentation surgery, you should inform your technician to ensure they get accurate results.

Contrary to popular belief, your areolas (the pigmented skin around your nipples) do not drastically change in size after breast augmentation. You might notice them stretch a bit because of the larger volume of your breasts, but it's unlikely that they’ll become significantly bigger.
