Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation, the improvement of breast aesthetics via implants, has long been the most popular cosmetic surgery—both at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center and around the globe. Many patients are pleasantly surprised at the relatively small incisions necessary for most implants and, in turn, the quick healing time. Most patients feel good enough to go about sedentary tasks, including desk jobs, after about 7 – 10 days and can even begin some...

Why do so many people think the “type of person” who gets breast implants is young—usually in their twenties? There are plenty of clients in that age range, but at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center and around the world, there is an increasing number of women in their 40s, 50s, and better opting for breast augmentation. The reason is simple: as women age, their breast profile changes (especially for those who have...

“Having” to shop for new bras, tops, and dresses after a breast augmentation can be either an exciting time or something to dread—it all depends on the patient. However, whether or not you’ll need to update your wardrobe depends on many factors. At Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center, we’ve seen an increase in patients who desire smaller, more natural-looking, teardrop-shaped implants in recent years. Still, even for those who opt for larger,...

“How soon will I look ‘normal’ after breast implants?” It’s one of the first questions asked during a consultation at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center. What most patients are really asking is when will they feel comfortable in a bikini, naked, and generally get completely back to their regular life. There is no set timeframe, and settling into your new “you” is a process. In actuality, most people who get breast augmentation...

Active women might think twice about getting breast implants—after all, are they actually durable? Will you be able to still do your favorite activities, from boxing and yoga to sleeping on your stomach? You may remember when one surgeon tossed breast implants off of a multi-story building to showcase their durability, and now a different surgeon is showing off just how durable this technology is (in a very intimate manner). The famous TikTok-ing surgeon really...

Don’t worry—we don’t offer breast augmentation on animals or 3D printed breast implants at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center. However, we do keep up to date on the latest breast augmentation research since breast enhancement via implants is one of the most in-demand cosmetic procedures at our clinic and around the country.

When it comes to breast augmentation, there are two primary “types” of implants: saline and silicone. Both are available at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center, along with the “gummy bear implant,” another subtype of silicone breast implant. Silicone breast implants have surged in popularity in the past few years, due in large part to the gummy bear implant that is known for being very realistic to the touch. However, saline breast implants...

Yes, “plastic surgery” is an outdated term and we are all about shifting to “cosmetic surgery” at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center. But why did the whole “plastic” concept get started anyway? Most think it’s because many people have long assumed that breast implants are made with plastic—which isn’t technically true (as anyone who has felt breast implants can attest). Breast implants are, and have always been, made with either silicone or...

For years there were just two options for breast implant materials: silicone or saline. That is still technically true, but thanks to revolutionary innovations there are differences in these two types, with gummy bear breast implants being the latest innovation in silicone breast augmentation. All types of safe, beautiful breast implants are available at Dr. Shaun Parson Plastic Surgery & Skin Center, where we are committed to giving you natural-looking results that you’ll love. This...
