Breast augmentation is a medical procedure for increasing the size and shape of the breasts using implants placed through small, discreet incisions. These implants usually contain either a sterile saltwater solution (saline) or a cohesive silicone gel. Sometimes a woman’s own fat can be used for a very modest size increase. It is technically called augmentation mammoplasty, and colloquially called a “boob job.”

Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
Breast augmentation can do much more than increase cup size. Many patients report feeling more self-assured and comfortable in their own skin.
Benefits may include:
When performed by a skilled surgeon, breast augmentation looks natural and aligns with your ideal vision.
Dr. Curtsinger will help determine whether breast augmentation is the right choice for you during your consultation.
In general, ideal candidates:
Breast augmentation can be performed independently or combined with other procedures, such as a breast lift or tummy tuck, for more comprehensive body contouring. Sometimes these are combined in a comprehensive procedure called a mommy makeover.
Choosing the right implant and surgical approach is one of the most important aspects of planning your procedure. Dr. Curtsinger will guide you through each option so you feel confident about your decisions.
Key choices include:
These decisions are highly personal, and Dr. Curtsinger takes the time to answer your questions, explain your options, and recommend a plan that fits your lifestyle and aesthetic preferences.
Our patients describe their experiences and life-changing results.

Meet Dr. Curtsinger
Recovery varies from person to person, but most patients find breast augmentation recovery to be manageable and straightforward.
Here’s what you can generally expect:
Week 1: Expect some swelling, tightness, and soreness in the chest. Medication and rest will help you stay comfortable. Avoid lifting, reaching, or strenuous activity.
Weeks 2 to 3: Most patients return to desk work and light activity. You’ll continue wearing a supportive bra and gradually increase your range of motion.
Weeks 4 to 6: Swelling continues to decrease, and your implants begin to “settle” into a more natural position. Dr. Curtsinger may clear you to resume more active routines.
After 2 to 3 months: Final results continue to refine, and you’ll begin to see your long-term outcome take shape.
With the proper support and guidance, many patients find the recovery period surprisingly smooth and the results well worth it.

The FDA has studied breast implants extensively over the last 40 years and has found both saline and silicone options to be safe, with similar performance in most areas. Since silicone implants were re-approved for cosmetic use in 2006, their popularity has surged—now outpacing saline implants by roughly 20 to 1. The reason? Silicone implants more closely mimic natural breast tissue due to their similar density, while saline implants tend to feel like water balloons—because that’s essentially what they are. The risk of visible or palpable rippling is also about 10 times higher with saline.
Historically, studies have shown that placing implants above the muscle results in a capsular contracture rate roughly three times higher than placement below the muscle. As a result, most implants have traditionally been placed beneath the muscle. While textured implants were once used to reduce the contracture risk above the muscle, certain aggressively textured models were linked to a rare cancer called Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL) and were subsequently withdrawn from the market. To date, there have been no confirmed cases of ALCL with smooth-walled implants, which are now the most commonly used.
Motiva implants, which recently entered the U.S. market, are classified by the FDA as smooth-walled devices, yet feature a unique micro-textured surface. In 14 years of global use, they have had zero reported cases of ALCL. They also appear to significantly reduce the risk of capsular contracture—down to about 0.5%—comparable to rates seen with submuscular placement. This advancement gives patients the option to consider either placement: above or below the muscle.
Dr. Curtsinger has extensive experience with all major implant manufacturers and tailors his recommendation based on each patient’s goals, anatomy, and preferences.
Dr. Curtsinger performs all standard approaches for breast augmentation, including inframammary, transaxillary, peri-areolar, and transumbilical. Today, the inframammary approach is the most common, as it is associated with a significantly lower risk—2 to 3 times less—of capsular contracture.
Several types of internal support or “scaffolding” have been developed to help maintain implant position and prevent stretching or sagging over time (often referred to as “bottoming out”). In Dr. Curtsinger’s practice, the most effective option to date has been GalaFLEX® mesh, which is used to support the lower breast pole and reinforce the breast envelope. This mesh is especially beneficial in revision procedures or when additional long-term support is desired.
The FDA now requires that all patients be informed that implants are not lifetime devices. While over 90% of implants remain intact after 10 years, most patients can expect to consider a maintenance or replacement procedure around the 15- to 20-year mark.
Some patients report systemic symptoms they attribute to their implants, often referred to as Breast Implant Illness (BII). However, this is not a formally recognized medical condition with defined diagnostic criteria. In 2006, the FDA concluded that breast implants do not increase the risk or severity of systemic illnesses, including autoimmune disease.
One of the largest studies on this topic followed 20,000 women with silicone implants and compared them to 20,000 women with no surgery. After 10 years, both groups showed the same incidence of autoimmune symptoms—0.8%.
Dr. Curtsinger closely follows the latest research on BII and prioritizes patient safety and advocacy. Like the FDA, he maintains that breast implants are safe and consistently yield high satisfaction rates—currently estimated at 98.7%.
