Breast augmentation surgery is a procedure that resizes the breasts to result in a fuller look. It is generally known to be one of the most desired cosmetic surgeries, providing women who dislike their breasts an effective opportunity for improvement. With the help of implants or fat from the patient’s body, this enhancement surgery improves breast shape and size and results in an attractive and youthful outcome. New Orleans, LA, plastic surgeon Dr. Jules Walters is experienced in this surgery, performing numerous breast augmentations every year. When you have your consultation with Dr. Walters, he will assess your aesthetic desires and concerns and inform you of the available choices while customizing a treatment plan to reach your personal goals.
The decision to go through with breast enlargement surgery is a personal one for women. If you are considering this procedure, it is essential you do it for yourself and no one else. Ideal candidates should be healthy with breasts that are fully developed and be the proper age to have implants. Individuals who are unhappy with the overall appearance of their chest could benefit from this cosmetic breast treatment. Moreover, if your breasts have changed due to aging, nursing, or weight loss, this surgical procedure can give them life with increased shape and fullness. It is a welcomed option for those who work out with weights or have little to no original breast mass.

During your initial consultation, Dr. Walters will recommend the appropriate implant based on your body size and shape, as well as the results you hope to attain. Implants for augmentation have an assortment of shapes, sizes, profiles, and textures—each of which is considered carefully in order to reach the desired look. There are four basic techniques used during breast augmentation. All techniques are widely popular and approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
Dr. Walters will help you decide the best options for your breast augmentation during your private consultation. He will consider your body type and aesthetic goals to help determine the best size, shape, and profile.
Dr. Walters draws from his exceptional training, experience, and skill to create beautiful, natural-looking results. His credentials, integrity, and patient-centered approach, make him one of the most highly rated plastic surgeons in the New Orleans, LA, area.

Incision placement and implant location decisions are generally made ahead of surgery. During breast augmentation, Dr. Walters makes the chosen incision, and the appropriate breast implant will be placed. Dr. Walters uses the Keller Funnel, which provides a no-touch delivery technique minimizing contact with sterile breast implants and surrounding tissue. The Keller Funnel allows for a very small incision with silicone implants.
Two techniques may be chosen for implant placement:
Where to insert the breast implant depends on varying factors, including the overall type and size of the implant, along with Dr. Walters’ opinion. No matter where the incision is placed, scarring is often hidden within the natural creases and lines of the body.
Breast augmentation surgery is an outpatient procedure with the patient under general anesthesia, meaning you will be asleep.
If a fat grafting approach is chosen, liposuction will be performed first to remove fat from a specific area of the body. Once completed, the purified form of the fat will be injected into the breasts until the desired outcome is achieved.
By using the latest virtual imaging technology, Vectra 3D, Dr. Walters can create virtual images that provide a realistic simulation of how your new, augmented breasts could look after surgery. With the help of Vectra 3D, Dr. Walters will help you decide whether fat transfer alone, a breast implant, or a combination of the two (fat and implant) will be needed to accomplish your goals.
The length of time that breast augmentation results last varies from patient to patient. We often hear “10 years” as the average, but many factors can affect your results, such as pregnancy, weight gain or loss, skin elasticity, and general aging.
Rapid recovery breast augmentation is an innovative approach that allows women to heal from the procedure more quickly and return to their normal activities in as little as 24 hours. During the surgery, Dr. Walters places a special emphasis on minimal bleeding, minimal trauma to the chest wall, and small incisions. In addition, after the surgery, he encourages controlled movement, stretching, and other exercises to promote circulation and prevent stiffness that leads to more pain.
Several days after surgery, the bruising (if any) and swelling will begin to go away slowly, and the breasts will start to look and feel normal as they fall into their new position. While individual results vary, most patients can engage in everyday activities within a few days; however, physical exertion such as strenuous exercise should be delayed for at least four weeks. A fat transfer procedure may require less recovery time, though the area that received liposuction will still need ample time to heal, and the breasts may experience some swelling and soreness from the injections.
Breast enhancement surgery with implants or fat grafting (or a combination) is well sought out for many excellent reasons. This treatment is considered safe and creates beautiful, aesthetic results. With numerous available considerations, you can get the breasts you have always wanted. Dr. Jules Walters is pleased to offer this proven surgery, and we welcome you to learn more.
