Am I A Good Candidate For Breast Augmentation?
The choice to undergo breast augmentation surgery is a personal one. If you are considering this procedure, you must do it for yourself. You should be healthy and at a normal weight with breasts that are developed, and be the proper age to have implants. If you are dissatisfied with the overall appearance of your breasts, you may benefit from this surgery. In addition, if your breasts have been affected by weight loss or pregnancy, this surgery can give them a new look with increased volume. It is a possible answer as well if you work out with weights or have an overall lack of natural breast mass.
How is Breast Augmentation Performed?
Breast augmentation is a highly customizable procedure, with several key decisions made before surgery - most notably, the incision location and implant placement technique. These choices are carefully tailored based on the patient's anatomy, lifestyle, implant type, and aesthetic goals.
During surgery, a small incision is made to create a pocket where the implant will be inserted. Common incision locations include around the areola, beneath the breast fold (inframammary), or within the armpit. Dr. Mays selects the most appropriate incision and placement method to ensure optimal results with minimal visible scarring.
There are several techniques for implant placement:
- Submuscular: The implant is placed beneath the pectoral muscle. This is the most common approach and often provides a natural look with reduced risk of visible rippling.
- Subglandular: The implant is placed above the muscle but behind the breast tissue. This method can be ideal for patients with sufficient natural breast tissue.
- Subfascial: A hybrid approach where the implant is placed above the muscle but beneath a thin layer of fascia, offering additional support and a smooth contour.
In some cases, Dr. Mays may incorporate an internal bra - a technique that uses absorbable scaffolding to support the implant and improve long-term shape and stability.
With Dr. Mays' expertise, every surgical decision is made with precision to achieve beautiful, balanced, and long-lasting results.
What to Expect After Breast Augmentation
Cosmetic breast surgery is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. After the incision is made, the selected implant is inserted through the incision and positioned within a surgically created pocket. Once in place, the implant is carefully secured, and the incision is closed using sutures or surgical adhesives.
Following surgery, each patient is taken to a private recovery suite for monitoring before being safely discharged home. A medical-grade support bra is provided to help minimize swelling and support the healing process.
In the days following surgery, swelling gradually subsides, and the breasts begin to settle into their new position. Most patients are able to return to normal daily activities within a few days, though more strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks to allow for proper healing.
Breast augmentation consistently delivers beautiful, natural-looking results that both look and feel like a seamless part of the body. For many patients, this procedure can be truly transformative - restoring confidence and enhancing overall body image.
Breast Augmentation Reviews
I'm loving my results!! Run, don't walk to see Dr Mays. I waited for years before making my decision for breast augmentation and tummy tuck. Now I wish I had pulled the trigger a long time ago. Dr Mays makes you feel so at ease and comfortable from the initial visit. You won't regret it!
I had breast augmentation in October and I am so pleased and thankful for my results. They look amazing my scars are barely there I had no trouble healing! Staff is amazing very thorough and welcoming! I recommend him to anyone! Thanks Dr. Mays!
I am honestly blown away with the care I have received from Chet Mays and his team. They are all over the top caring, understanding and make it clear that they hold no judgement. I had breast augmentation and a tummy tuck performed by Chet Mays. From consult to Post-operation I received top of the line care and results that are like a dream. It's hard to believe that this body is mine after 3 pregnancies, the last which was twins I thought I'd have to live in that skin forever. I have not had a single negative experience.
Recovery was easy and the scarring is very minimal - Dr. Mays and his stanmff are great. I recently had a breast augmentation/revision and a lip lift procedure done. I am about 4 weeks post op and overall I am really pleased with my results. Upon my consultation, I let Dr. Mays know what I disliked about my first BA performed by a different surgeon. I showed him a picutre of what I'd like my revision to look like and he was able to make a recommendation on how to get me the look I desired. My revision has given me the results I wanted. The lip lift procedure also turned out great. Recovery was easy and the scarring, which I was mildly concerned about, is VERY minimal. I am glad that I made the decision to trust Dr. Mays and his staff with my procedures.
Happy with the results - recovery was easier than I imagined - I had breast augmentation surgery with Dr. Mays and I am so happy with my results. I’m confident he truly is the best plastic surgeon in Louisville. What really stood out to me during my consultations was how he listened to what I wanted and gave suggestions on how to get there. I felt empowered and understood throughout the entire process. Surgery day was a breeze and recovery was easier than I could have imagined with clear and easy to follow instructions. I always have felt taken care of whenever I’m in the office. I look forward to using Dr. Mays and his team for any additional cosmetic procedures!

About UsBreast Augmentation FAQs
How much does breast augmentation cost?
Your total cost for breast augmentation surgery will vary depending on your choices and whether you are getting any other surgeries at the same time. When your treatment plan is made, Dr. Mays will go over estimated costs as well as financing options. To make sure your results match your goals and last a long time, it is better to focus on quality over low costs.
Do I need a breast lift or augmentation?
Your plan might include breast augmentation, a lift, or both. A breast lift removes loose skin and raises the breasts, while implants address the shape and size. During your consultation with Dr. Mays, he will listen to your needs and goals before discussing your treatment options. A combination of augmentation and lift is often part of a mommy makeover to rejuvenate the breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Can I breastfeed with implants?
If you want to breastfeed after augmentation surgery, be sure to tell Dr. Mays during your consultation. It's usually possible to breastfeed after implants with the right placement and technique. Pregnancy and breastfeeding can alter your results, so it is better to wait until after you are finished having children to have breast augmentation.
