What is breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation uses implants to increase breast size, restore volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss, and improve shape and symmetry. At Northwest Arkansas Center for Plastic Surgery, we perform augmentation with FDA-approved silicone gel implants from two leading brands, Motiva® and Natrelle®.

Breast augmentation procedures are performed by Dr. Heath Stacey, a board-certified plastic surgeon with more than 15 years of experience in Northwest Arkansas, and Dr. Wilson Huett, a plastic surgeon trained at the University of Louisville.

A decision that's entirely your own

Some women have wanted fuller breasts for as long as they can remember, while others miss the fullness they had before children, nursing, or weight loss.

Whatever brings you to us, your reasons are personal, and they deserve to be heard without judgment.

Our goal is a result that looks natural on you and feels like you, so you can wear what you love with confidence.

Benefits of a breast augmentation

Breast augmentation does more than just increase your size. It can bring balance to your shape and help you feel confident in your own body again.

Natural-looking fullness

Implants are chosen to suit your frame, for a result that still looks like you.

Restored volume

Replaces fullness lost after pregnancy, nursing, or weight loss.

Better balance

Can reduce differences in breast size or shape.

Clothes that fit beautifully

Tops, dresses, and swimwear often fit more naturally and comfortably.

A proportionate figure

Fuller breasts can balance your hips and overall silhouette.

Renewed confidence

Many patients say they feel more at ease and more like themselves.

Is breast augmentation right for me?

You may be a good candidate if:

  • You’d like fuller breasts, or want to restore lost volume
  • You’d like to improve differences in size or shape between your breasts
  • You’re 22 or older, the FDA-approved age for silicone breast implants
  • Your weight is stable
  • You don’t use nicotine, or are willing to stop before and after surgery
  • You’re in good overall health

Breasts that have lost lift as well as volume? Implants alone may not raise them. A breast lift with augmentation may be the better fit.

Your implant options

We offer two leading silicone implant brands, so your choice is based on what’s best for you. Your surgeon will help you compare each option and recommend the implant that fits your anatomy, lifestyle, and goals.

Now offering Motiva® implants

Motiva® implants received FDA approval for breast augmentation in 2024. They’re known for their soft feel and natural movement, and come in two shapes:
Implant
Its design
Motiva® Round
Holds a full, round shape in any position, with added fullness in the upper breast.
Motiva® Ergonomix®
Adapts as you move: round when lying down, a natural teardrop shape when standing.

Natrelle® implants

We continue to offer Natrelle® silicone implants, with a wide range of sizes, profiles, and gel options.
Choice
What it means
Size
Chosen depending on your frame, chest width, and the look you want, not only a number.
Profile
How far the implant projects from the chest, from subtle to fuller.
Placement
Over or under the chest muscle, depending on your anatomy and goals.
Incision
Most often in the fold beneath the breast, where it’s well hidden.

Your experience at NWACPS

Choosing implants can be a difficult decision. We will take the time to make sure you are informed, heard, and completely comfortable with every decision.

  • An unhurried consultation. Your surgeon examines you, takes measurements, and walks you through implant options side by side.
  • Clear preparation. You’ll receive written instructions covering what to expect before, during, and after surgery.
  • An attentive care team. Our nurses stay in close contact through your recovery and answer questions as they come up.
  • Follow-up visits. Your surgeon checks your healing in person until you’re fully recovered.

“I recently had a breast lift and augmentation and couldn’t be happier with my experience. I’m now two months post-op, and everything has gone so smoothly. I was really nervous going into it, but the staff made me feel comfortable and supported every step of the way. The whole process has been easy, and I’m so happy with my results. Highly recommend!”

Breast Augmentation Recovery

Every recovery is personal, and your surgeon will create a plan that is specific to your surgical procedure. Here is a general picture of how healing tends to unfold, with our nurses available to you throughout.

The first few days

Rest at home in a soft surgical bra. The surgery can cause temporary swelling and bruising. Tightness and soreness in the chest are normal, and short walks help circulation.

The first week

Discomfort eases. Many patients feel ready to return to desk work and light routines.

The weeks that follow

You’ll continue wearing a supportive bra. Patients should avoid strenuous activity for 2-3 weeks and wait until your surgeon clears you.

As you gain strength

Your surgeon checks your healing and lets you know when you’re ready to return to exercise and underwire bras.

The months ahead

Your implants soften and settle into a more natural position as swelling resolves. The full recovery period may take up to 3 months.

Your Results and Scars

Your results. You’ll see fuller breasts right away. Over 2–3 months, swelling resolves and your implants settle into a softer, more natural shape.

Your scar. The incision is usually placed in the fold beneath the breast, where it will be hidden by a bra or swimsuit. It fades gradually over 12–18 months.

Modern silicone implants are designed to look and feel natural. Choosing a size that fits your frame is the most important factor.

Most patients return to desk work in about a week and are cleared for exercise in about six weeks. Your surgeon will guide your timeline.

 Implants aren’t considered lifetime devices, but many last well over a decade. You’d only need surgery again if there’s an issue with an implant or you decide to change your size.

The FDA recommends that patients with silicone implants have an ultrasound or MRI five to six years after surgery, then every two to three years, even without symptoms. Your surgeon will talk through your follow-up plan.

Yes. Continue routine screening and let your imaging center know you have implants, as they may take additional views.

Many women can, especially when the incision is placed in the breast fold. Breastfeeding can’t be guaranteed, so share any plans with your surgeon.

Silicone implants are FDA-approved for breast augmentation in women 22 and older.

 Implants add volume but don’t significantly lift. If your breasts sit low, we may recommend combining breast augmentation with a breast lift as the better choice.

Cost depends on the implant you choose and whether other procedures are combined. You’ll receive a personalized quote at your complimentary consultation, and we offer monthly payment plans through CareCredit, Cherry, and Prosper.

No. Consultations are complimentary. You’ll meet privately with one of our plastic surgeons, ask every question you have, and leave with a personalized plan and quote.

Breast augmentation is considered cosmetic, so it generally isn’t covered by insurance. Our team can talk through any questions about your situation.
