Whether you’re hoping to achieve the look you once had or the look you’ve always wanted, breast augmentation with Dr. Jeffrey Wagner may be for you. There are a lot of reasons why women choose breast augmentation at Wagner and Associates Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery located in Indianapolis.
Why Consider Breast Augmentation?
As one of the most popular cosmetic surgery procedures, breast augmentation is often used to:
- Enlarge naturally small breasts
- Restore volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
- Improve shape and contour
- Enhance symmetry between the breasts
- Create a more balanced, proportionate silhouette
- Renew self-confidence and help clothing fit more comfortably
Am I a Good Candidate For Breast Augmentation?
Ideal breast augmentation candidates are in good overall health with realistic expectations. They should have fully developed breasts, be able to maintain a stable weight, and be non-smokers.

Your Breast Augmentation Consultation
Your breast surgery consultation is an important part of the breast augmentation process. During this visit, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Wagner will review your goals, evaluate your anatomy, and explain the available surgical options.
Topics discussed will include:
- Incision size and locations
- Implant type
- Position of the implants (either behind the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle)
- Scarring
- Risks
- Recovery
This is also the time to ask questions about size, healing, and what you can realistically expect from breast surgery. If you are also considering related procedures like breast lift surgery, you may want to learn more about potentially combining it with your breast augmentation.
Breast Implant Options
There are two main types of breast implants:
Saline Implants
Filled with sterile saltwater, saline implants are FDA-approved for breast augmentation in women 18 and older. Because they are filled after placement, the volume can be adjusted during surgery for a more precise result.
Silicone Implants
Filled with silicone gel, silicone implants are FDA-approved for breast augmentation in women 22 and older. Many patients feel silicone implants more closely resemble the feel of natural breast tissue.
What Happens on the Day of the Procedure?
Breast augmentation procedures typically take 1-3 hours. We have our patients arrive at the surgery center one hour before their scheduled operation time. This allows them to register, change, meet their anesthesiologist, and speak briefly with Dr. Wagner before going to the operating room.
After surgery, Dr. Wagner will update your attending family member or friend, and you will go directly to the recovery room. Once you are more alert, you will be brought back to your post-operative room, where your family member or friend may join you.
Breast Augmentation Recovery Timeline
While every patient heals differently, the timeline below gives a general sense of the recovery process after breast augmentation surgery:
| Timeline | What to Expect |
|---|---|
| First few days | Rest and limit upper-body movement. Wear your surgical bra for support. Pain is managed with prescribed medication and by following all post-operative care instructions. |
| Around 1–2 weeks | Most patients feel ready to return to desk work and many everyday activities. |
| Weeks 4–6 | More strenuous activity and exercise are typically reintroduced gradually at this stage, based on your progress and Dr. Wagner’s guidance. |
| Ongoing | Swelling continues to resolve, implants settle into their final position, and scars continue to mature and fade over time. |
Our team will schedule follow-up visits throughout your recovery to monitor your progress and answer questions. If you have concerns before or after surgery, please contact us.

Breast Augmentation FAQs
How do I choose the right size for my implants?
Choosing the right implant size involves trying on sizer test implants during your consultation to see how different volumes look on your specific body frame. Dr. Wagner will help guide your decision based on your desired results, anatomy, and lifestyle, ensuring the size and shape complement your overall proportions and meet your aesthetic goals.
Can breast augmentation be combined with other body procedures besides the breast lift?
Will breast implants affect mammograms and breast cancer screenings?
Breast implants may require additional imaging views during mammograms, and you should always inform your technologist about your implants. Modern imaging techniques can effectively screen for breast cancer in women with implants, though additional tests like MRI or ultrasound might be recommended.
Can I breastfeed if I have breast implants?
Most women with breast implants can successfully breastfeed, especially when implants are placed under the chest muscle. The incision location and surgical technique can affect milk ducts, so it’s important to discuss your future breastfeeding plans with Dr. Wagner during your consultation.
Will I have visible scars after breast augmentation?
Some degree of scarring is expected with any surgery, but scars from breast augmentation tend to fade significantly over time. Dr. Wagner places incisions as discreetly as possible, commonly in the natural crease beneath the breast or around the areola. Following surgery, he will provide guidance on scar care to support healing and help minimize their appearance.
How often do breast implants need to be replaced?
Breast implants can last 10 to 20 years or longer. While some women may need one or two follow-up surgeries during their lifetimes due to complications or personal preference, regular monitoring through self-exams and recommended imaging help ensure your implants remain in good condition.
