What Is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation surgery is a popular cosmetic procedure that adds volume to the breasts to create a rounder, fuller appearance. It is often considered to be one of the most common cosmetic surgeries, offering women who are unhappy with their breasts a variety of options for improvement. Using implants or fat from the patient's body, this enhancement surgery improves breast size and shape, resulting in an attractive and natural-looking outcome. At Iteld Plastic Surgery, we perform countless breast augmentations each year for patients who feel self-conscious about how they look. During your consultation, Dr. Lawrence Iteld will get a better understanding of your aesthetic goals and concerns before building a customized surgical plan designed to give you the look you want. Reach out to our office in Chicago, IL today to schedule your appointment and learn all about your options for breast augmentation surgery.
How Does Breast Augmentation Surgery Work?
Every breast augmentation plan is unique, which is why Dr. Iteld starts with a comprehensive consultation to review your goals and answer any questions you may have about your surgery. There are several possible approaches to breast augmentation surgery. These include either submuscular placement (under the pec muscle) or submammary/subglandular placement (over the pec muscle). Where to place the breast implant is based on varying factors, including the size and type of implant, as well as your body type. Regardless of the type of incision and the placement of the implant, Dr. Iteld will strive to ensure your results look natural and that any scarring is minimal. At Iteld Plastic Surgery, we offer narcotics-free treatments to minimize any discomfort you may feel after your surgery while reducing the risks and side effects that come with standard opioid-based pain relievers. As a result, most patients are able to get through their recovery with low-strength pain medication.
What to Expect After Breast Augmentation Surgery
Once your surgery is finished, you will be taken to a private recovery space and carefully monitored prior to being released. You will be sent home wearing a medical sports bra to assist with swelling. Several days after surgery, the swelling will begin to slowly go away, and the breasts will start to look and feel normal as they fall into their new position. Most patients can resume everyday activities within a few days; however, physical exertion (such as exercise) should be delayed for at least a couple of months. This surgery produces gorgeous outcomes that look and feel natural. This treatment can be a life-changer for many women, offering them the chance to feel more comfortable in their own skin.

Iteld Plastic Surgery Reviews
I cannot truly express how thankful I am for the exceptional care I received from Dr. Iteld and his staff. Dr. Iteld is extremely knowledgeable and professional. His attention to detail is unmatched. He spent time to understand my needs and planned the surgical procedures that would best help me achieve my goals. His staff, particularly Caryle and Kimmy, were wonderful and treated me with patience, respect and compassion. My pre-operative and postoperative instructions were extremely clear, so I felt comfortable through the process. Most importantly, my surgical outcome is amazing! Look no further than Dr. Iteld!
Dr. Iteld and his team truly deserve a 12/10. I got a breast augmentation done about 6 weeks ago and couldn’t be happier with the results. The entire experience from the consultation to the surgery and recovery was a breeze. He answered all of my questions during the consultation and made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire process. The non-narcotic approach they take makes the recovery so easy and pain free. Everyone in the office is so nice and helpful. I would highly recommend Dr. Iteld and would 100% use him in the future!
Achieved the natural look I wanted - I am very impressed with Dr. Iteld and his office. I had both breast augmentation and liposuction. First of all, he is an excellent surgeon who listened to my concerns and wishes. He achieved the natural look I wanted. Secondly, his approach to an opioid free breast augmentation helped control my pain better than a friend who had opioids for her surgery. Thirdly, I was very impressed that his staff walked me through each step and prepared me for the post op course- the pain, recovery, and recommended actions to achieve the best outcome. As a healthcare worker, I know it’s better to prepare patients for both the good and bad outcomes and what to expect for pain, swelling, nausea, and recovery. However most surgeons gloss over this and patients are surprised and upset when they have expected minor problems. When I had postop concerns, they were addressed quickly. I appreciated Dr. Iteld’s bedside manner and the professionalism of his staff. I cannot recommend him enough!
They Go Above and Beyond with Their Care! The Most Amazing Results! Can't Recommend Them Enough! - I had the most amazing experience with Dr. Iteld and his staff. From my initial consultation to my post-operation appointments, everyone at Iteld Plastic Surgery has been phenomenal. The care I received was above and beyond, resulting in an exceptionally quick, smooth, and easy recovery. I am immensely thrilled with my BA results and hugely grateful to Dr. Iteld for his work and care! I cannot recommend Iteld Plastic Surgery enough to everyone and anyone!Updated on 1 Feb 2024:I was already super happy and impressed with my results, but I am even more so after seeing my before and after photos! Truly the best breast augmentation ever. I would 100000% recommend Dr. Iteld to anyone who is thinking about getting one!
I had a breast augmentation with Dr. Iteld and I absolutely love my results. He and his team were so kind, professional, thorough, and informative. I was a little nervous of course about surgery, but they made me feel very comfortable and confident in my decision. Recovery with no narcotics was so easy. I was surprised at how good I felt after surgery. Everything healed up perfectly and I’m so happy I went with him. I’d highly recommend him!

Who Is A Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
As is the case with any kind of plastic surgery, it's important to have realistic expectations when you're considering breast augmentation. The ideal candidate for breast augmentation surgery is in good health and has fully developed breasts. You also need to be at least 18 years old (or 22 years old if you're choosing silicone gel implants). If you are unhappy with the shape of your breasts because they look small or asymmetrical, you could benefit from breast augmentation surgery. Moreover, if your breasts have changed due to aging, nursing, or weight loss, this cosmetic treatment can bring them back to life with increased volume.
Is breast augmentation safe?
Breast augmentation is generally considered to be a safe procedure when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon like Dr. Iteld. However, as with any surgery, there are potential risks and complications that can occur. During your consultation, our team will review these risks and discuss ways to minimize them.
How long do breast implants last?
The longevity of breast implants varies for each patient and depends on factors such as type of implant, placement, and lifestyle. On average, breast implants can last anywhere from 10 to 20 years. Iteld Plastic Surgery can provide information on how to monitor your implants and when it may be time for a replacement.
Is there an age requirement for breast augmentation?
There is no set age requirement for breast augmentation surgery. However, candidates must be 18 years old to receive saline implants and 22 years of age to get silicone implants in the United States.
