Silicone implants come in a vast range of sizes and shapes and are often chosen by women as they have the most natural softness, weight, and bounce.
Saline implants are filled after being placed so the size can be custom adjusted to achieve the ideal size for you. These implants require shorter incisions due to being filled after placement.
Fat is harvested from another area of your body with gentle liposuction, purified, and then transferred to add subtle, long-lasting volume.
Breast augmentation may be performed in conjunction with a breast lift or other cosmetic enhancement.
The first step is a free, private consultation with Dr. Tseng regarding his options for a breast augmentation in Kirkland. The consultation will include an examination, a review of your medical history, and an in-depth discussion about your aesthetic goals. If you choose to undergo a breast enhancement, we will schedule your surgery. We will provide complete pre-operative instructions, including avoiding smoking and certain medications for a couple of weeks before surgery.
A breast augmentation procedure is performed under general anesthesia. It usually takes about two hours. Since there is anesthesia needed for a breast augmentation Kirkland patients will need to arrange for transportation home after surgery, as well as someone to assist them at home for a few days. Patients will need to sleep on their back and not lift anything or raise their arms above their shoulders during the initial healing phase.
Breast augmentation isn’t just about choosing the right size or type of implant—it’s also about selecting the best placement option for your body and goals. Dr. Tseng will guide you through the two primary placement options:
This technique places the implant beneath the pectoral muscle, offering several advantages. Submuscular placement can create a more natural slope at the upper breast, particularly for women with less natural breast tissue. It also reduces the risk of capsular contracture (a condition where scar tissue hardens around the implant) and provides better coverage, making the edges of the implant less visible. This option is especially beneficial for those seeking a more natural look.
With subglandular placement, the implant is positioned above the pectoral muscle but beneath the breast tissue. This option often results in a shorter recovery time and may be ideal for women with enough natural breast tissue to cover the implant. Subglandular placement can also create a fuller appearance at the upper breast, which is desirable for some patients.

Each placement has unique benefits, and Dr. Tseng will help determine which is best suited to your anatomy and aesthetic goals during your consultation.
The approach to breast augmentation surgery depends on several factors, including your anatomy, implant choice, and desired results. Dr. Tseng offers multiple incision options to ensure minimal scarring and optimal outcomes:
Each technique has its advantages, and Dr. Tseng will recommend the best option based on your anatomy, implant type, and preferences.
The results of breast augmentation are immediate, but it’s important to note that swelling and bruising are normal in the initial weeks following surgery. As your body heals, your breasts will settle into their final shape, revealing fuller, more proportionate curves. The results are long-lasting, especially when maintained with a healthy lifestyle and proper post-surgical care.
Recovery from breast augmentation is generally smooth, with most patients returning to work within a week. During the initial healing phase, you’ll need to avoid lifting heavy objects, raising your arms above your shoulders, or sleeping on your stomach. Light activities can be resumed after two weeks, while more strenuous exercises may take up to six weeks. Dr. Tseng will provide detailed aftercare instructions and closely monitor your progress to ensure optimal healing.
The cost of breast augmentation varies depending on factors such as the type of implant, surgical technique, and whether additional procedures like a breast lift are included. During your consultation, Dr. Tseng will provide a detailed cost breakdown and discuss financing options to make your procedure as accessible as possible. At Tseng Plastic Surgery, you’ll receive world-class care at a reasonable price.
After your breast augmentation Kirkland Plastic Surgeon, Dr. Tseng, will provide complete post-surgical care instructions. Recovery may vary depending on your health and the specific technique used, but you should be able to return to work in about a week and resume most normal activities, including exercise, within about six weeks. We will be carefully monitoring your progress throughout your recovery and are always available if you have questions or concerns.
Depending on the type of implants, three incision options are available:

As with any surgery, breast augmentation carries potential risks, including infection, changes in nipple or breast sensation, implant leakage or rupture, and capsular contracture. It's essential to discuss these risks with your surgeon during the consultation.
Preparation may include medical evaluations, adjusting current medications, quitting smoking, and avoiding certain anti-inflammatory drugs to reduce bleeding risks. Your surgeon will provide specific instructions tailored to your situation.
Breast augmentation is typically performed under general anesthesia, ensuring you are asleep and comfortable throughout the surgery.
Breast implants can obscure mammogram images, making it essential to inform the radiologist about your implants so they can use specialized techniques to obtain accurate readings.
