Breast Augmentation in Reno, NV

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation can help restore volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss, improve breast symmetry, and create fuller contours that align with a patient’s aesthetic goals. The procedure is highly personalized and typically includes discussion of implant type, size, profile, and incision placement based on the patient’s anatomy and desired outcome. For patients who also have skin laxity or lower nipple position, a breast lift may be discussed as part of a more complete surgical plan.

Consultation and Surgical Planning

Your consultation includes a discussion of goals, implant type, implant size, incision options, symmetry concerns, and overall surgical planning. Breast augmentation surgery is typically performed in an accredited surgical facility or outpatient hospital setting. Incision placement and implant selection are determined based on what is most appropriate for the patient’s anatomy and desired outcome. If a patient has older implants, implant malposition, capsular concerns, or cosmetic issues from a prior procedure, Dr. Hall and Dr. Wrye may discuss a breast implant exchange instead of first-time augmentation alone.

At Hall & Wrye, our team guides implant sizing, incision selection, symmetry review, and procedure planning during the consultation process. Our approach is based on the patient’s anatomy, skin quality, existing breast shape, and long-term aesthetic goals rather than a one-size-fits-all implant recommendation.

Patients who are researching uneven breasts or nipple position differences can also review the practice’s nipple asymmetry article to better understand how asymmetry may affect implant selection, surgical planning, and whether an additional procedure may be recommended.

Breast Implant Options

During your consultation, we will help you evaluate implant options based on your body type, preferences, and desired look. Breast implants generally include saline and silicone gel options, and your surgical plan may also include discussion of implant shape, projection, and placement to support a balanced, natural-looking result.

Who Is a Candidate?

Ideal candidates for breast augmentation are generally in good physical and mental health, have fully developed breasts, are not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have realistic expectations about their outcome. A consultation is required to determine candidacy and build a treatment plan based on anatomy, lifestyle, and goals.

To undergo a successful breast augmentation, you must:

• Have fully developed breasts
• Be in good physical and mental health
• Not be pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have realistic expectations about the procedure and results

We require that each patient meets with Dr. Hall and Dr. Wrye to ensure that they are a good candidate for this procedure and to answer to patient questions about their desired result.

HOW WILL THE COSMETIC SURGERY GO?

All breast augmentation surgeries are performed in a fully accredited surgical center or an outpatient hospital facility. A typical operation lasts for about one hour. Both Dr. Hall and Dr. Wrye will operate on a patient at the same time. By doing this the patients isn’t under anesthesia for a great amount of time and they feel that by working together they can achieve a more balanced and natural look for their patients.

Patients will be prepped by the nurses at the surgery center. The doctor will meet with you, answer any last minute questions you may have and confirm size, shape and incision placement before going into surgery. You will then be given a dose of general anesthesia, where you will be put gently to sleep.

Recovery and Long-Term Considerations

Recovery after breast augmentation varies by patient, but most experience temporary soreness, swelling, and fatigue in the early healing period. Patients receive detailed post-operative instructions, medication guidance, and follow-up care to support healing and monitor progress. Recovery timelines, activity restrictions, and aftercare recommendations should be reviewed during the consultation and pre-operative process.

Risks and Considerations

As with any surgical procedure, breast augmentation involves potential risks and complications that should be reviewed during consultation. These may include implant-related concerns, infection, sensory changes, or healing-related issues. Dr. Hall and Dr. Wrye will discuss benefits, limitations, and risk considerations as part of a personalized treatment plan.

Breast Augmentation Results

Breast augmentation results are intended to create fuller breast contours, improved balance, and greater confidence in clothing and overall appearance. Final results develop over time as swelling resolves and healing progresses. Patients considering surgery should review expectations, implant choices, and long-term considerations during consultation.
