View Before & After GalleryBreast implants are a great option for patients who desire breast augmentation to restore or enhance their breast volume. Often, our Boston breast implant patients seek augmentation because they have always been smaller-breasted and desire more volume. Other patients come in seeking breast implants because they have lost volume in the breasts over time, sometimes due to weight loss or pregnancy. In general, patients should be in good overall health to avoid any surgical or post-surgical complications.
Dr. Eliopoulos offers breast implants for women who want to enhance the shape and size of their breasts. Some women have underdeveloped breast tissue or a congenital abnormality that effects the appearance of their breasts, while others wish to restore lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss. Dr. Eliopoulos says today's breast implants are safe, and provide the pretty, natural-looking results that most patients seek. Dr. Eliopoulos also performs breast reconstruction for mastectomy patients.
Implants can improve symmetry, restore your natural curves, improve the shape of the breasts, and increase the volume of your bust. Many patients feel significantly more confident following breast implant surgery. There are several types of implants, meaning you can choose the results that best complement your desired silhouette.
Breast implants come in several materials, shapes, profiles, and textures, allowing optimization of your breast augmentation results based on your needs and goals. Dr. Dina Eliopoulos will educate you about the advantages and disadvantages of each type of implant and help you select the best implant size and material for you.
Selecting the right implant type is essential to achieving an outcome you love. Dr. Eliopoulos will carefully walk you through your options to help you make an educated decision.
The first thing most patients think about when considering breast augmentation is what size implant they should get. Both silicone and saline implants come in a wide range of sizes, shapes, and degrees of projection (which determines how far the implant projects from the chest wall). Dr. Eliopoulos will help you select your ideal implants through a detailed process of discussing your personal goals, taking your measurements, looking at pictures together, and having you try on different sizers to visualize how different implants will look on you.
Patients can choose implants that come in a range of profiles. An implant’s profile will determine the projection of the breasts from the chest.
There are two textures to choose from for implants: smooth and textured.

Procedure. Breast augmentation is typically performed as an outpatient procedure while the patient is comfortably asleep under general anesthesia. Dr. Eliopoulos carefully creates incisions in a discreet location. Common incision locations include the crease beneath the breast (inframmary) or around the circumference of the areola (periareolar). Dr. Eliopoulos typically prefers inframmary incisions because they have a lower risk of infection and disrupt less of the breast tissue.
The implants are placed either under the chest muscle (submuscular) or under the breasts’ glandular tissue (subglandular). All of these details will be discussed before your procedure.
Recovery. Most patients will take one week or less off from work to support an optimal recovery. By one week post-op, you will be able to return to regular daily activities. By one month post-op, you will be able to resume your exercise routine. This recovery period gives your chest muscles time to relax so your implants can settle into place and lowers the risk of post-operative complications.
Dr. Eliopoulos and her team will provide attentive aftercare support and check your progress during follow-up appointments. Good aftercare ensures a smooth recovery period and a beautiful result you will enjoy for many years.
Breast augmentation is an extremely common and very safe procedure, which provides years of benefits to women seeking a fuller breast profile. However, any surgery carries potential risks. It is important to remember that implants are man made devices. While they are extremely durable, and technology has continued to improve over the years, they are not guaranteed to last forever.
During your consultation for breast implants Boston plastic surgeon Dr. Eliopoulos will spend a significant amount of time discussing the possible risks and benefits of breast implants with you. For many patients, the benefits of breast implants are worth the potential risks. Working with a highly qualified surgeon like Dina Eliopoulous, MD, and carefully following all pre- and post-operative guidelines can reduce your risk of complications.
It is important for patients to understand that, most likely, they will require future breast procedures to maintain the implant. The typical lifespan of a breast implant is 10-15 years. However, an implant may develop a leak or rupture over time and, if so, can be replaced with surgery. Routine monitoring of your breasts, including breast exams and routine mammograms when age-appropriate, along with possible MRI screening of silicone implants, is recommended.
