Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures in North America as well as in Dr. Sinno’s practice. It is estimated that more than 50 million women worldwide have breast implants.
This procedure can help to empower a woman to be able to enhance the shape and size of her breasts as she sees fit, helping to make her perceived body shape more symmetric, proportionate and aesthetic.

What is Breast Augmentation (Mammoplasty)?
A breast augmentation procedure involves the surgical placement of one’s own body parts (autologous tissue fat injections or transfers) or implant based (prosthetics: saline or silicone filled breast implants) in front of or behind the chest muscle to enhance the shape, size and overall aesthetic appearance of the breasts.
In Dr. Sinno’s busy breast practice, the majority and most common type of breast augmentation remains implant-based surgery. Fat injections and transfers in the breast are becoming more popular and Dr. Sinno has extensive experience in helping enhance the shape and size of his cosmetic and reconstructive patients’ breasts.
Who is a Breast Augmentation For?
A breast augmentation is for women of all ages (18+), who wish to increase the size and/or enhance the shape of their breasts. Women who wish to have larger, fuller, shapelier breasts or who have lost volume or fullness in their breasts due to weight loss, motherhood (post pregnancy and breastfeeding) or aging are likely candidates for this procedure.
Breast augmentation can also help balance asymmetries in the breasts, such as significant differences in shape and/or size. It can address unwanted differences in the look of the breasts, whether from genetic outcomes or mastopexy surgery where part of the breast has been removed.
Dr. Sinno and his team will work hard to help you achieve your desired breast augmentation results.
It is important to note that having a breast augmentation should be your choice, not the result of having pressure to do so from someone else. Breast augmentation can be effective in helping you achieve your desired breast appearance in the well-informed and healthy candidate.
breast augmentation before & after Photos
When considering your options for breast augmentation, take the time to find several examples (photos or videos) of the type of breast augmentation you would like to have. Because breasts vary so much in size and shape, it is important to try to find out what exactly you like about the breast shape. This will enable you to distinguish your preferences from other breasts that are similar but may not be exactly what you prefer. It will help paint a more accurate picture of your aesthetic goals.
During your initial consultation, you can show these examples to Dr. Sinno, who will help you understand how closely your results can reflect your preferences based on your anatomy. Ideally, these examples will be photos of the individual standing with their breasts nude, so that their natural shape is evident (without the external pressure of a bra, swimsuit, or other top that could alter their shape).
What are the benefits of breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation can be beneficial to a person in a variety of ways. The aesthetic enhancement of breast augmentation can:
- Add volume and fullness to the breasts
- Address the imbalance of asymmetrical breasts (breasts that are different sizes)
- Restore lost volume to depleted breasts after childbirth, breastfeeding or dramatic weight loss.
- Provide you with breasts that are better suited aesthetically for your body, based on your opinion of what changes would make you happiest
- Dr. Sinno can give you his professional opinion based on his knowledge and experience of breast aesthetics and your goals. However, it is crucial to understand that your body is your body, and the person who needs to love it and find it beautiful is you!
- Increase self-confidence and comfort in clothing and swimsuits
What are my options for breast augmentation?
At the end of the day, the most important person to measure the perfect breast shape and size is each woman herself. What does she want for herself? What breast size and shape does she desire?
What are beautiful breasts? What is the “perfect” breast size? What is the “perfect” breast shape?
The perfect breast, the perfect breast shape and the perfect size is completely dependent on personal opinion and tastes. In North America, the trend of the “perfect breast” is a fuller sized breast that can fill at least a C-cup. In Europe, breast size is seen to be more ideally in the smaller range of full B. The plastic surgical medical literature quotes the ideal or “perfect breast” measurements of 21 cm from nipple to nipple and up to the sternal notch (dot between the clavicles just above the sternum below the neck). Some quote the pencil or pen test where a pencil or pen is placed at the lower part of the breast (at the inframammary fold), and the breast should not hold that pen, otherwise the breast is considered too ptotic (or saggy). People come in various forms, shapes and sizes. A C-cup in one woman may look spectacular but may be too small or too large for another woman. A woman may have larger hips and shoulder ratios that would allow a larger breast size to appear more aesthetically proportionate for her. Some cultures, such as Latin, South American or Middle-Eastern, prefer a more voluminous body type.
What does she want for herself? What breast size and shape does she desire?
In my practice, I have had the privilege to surgically help over 3000 patients with “their” desired breast shape and volume. I have helped women that like “natural” shaped “teardrop” or pear shaped breasts, I have helped women achieve a round and voluminous breast, I have helped women enhance their cleavage and I have helped women achieve more “side boob”. There is a breast size and shape for all tastes. With my understanding and knowledge of what my patient wants, I will counsel her and provide her with my professional advice regarding what would look the best knowing her tastes, desires and what will fit with her personal anatomy, while upholding my highest priority for her satisfaction and safety.
