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.

Breast Augmentation Reviews
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!
I went to Dr. Iteld for breast augmentation and I couldn't be happier with the results. He gave me exactly what I wanted and I've never felt more confident. His team helped me every step of the way and made sure I was one-hundred percent sure and confident in my decision before we proceeded with the surgery. They let me come in multiple times to try on the sizers, until I finally felt confident with the size and look I wanted. Not to mention, Dr. Iteld's bedside manner is unmatched. I strongly recommend Dr. Iteld to anyone looking for cosmetic services. I will definitely be seeing him again in the future.
Recently had a breast augmentation done with Dr. Iteld. Could not be happier with the service and care I received from him and his team! I felt that everyone listened thoughtfully and thoroughly and respected what I wanted while providing necessary information I needed to make a solid decision. I would strongly recommend Dr. Iteld and his team to anyone!
From my very first consultation through post-operative care, my experience with Dr. Iteld and his team has been nothing short of exceptional. I underwent a secondary breast augmentation, reduction, and lift, and I was initially skeptical when Dr. Iteld told me the procedure would be virtually pain-free. My first surgery elsewhere had been accompanied by agonizing pain, so I braced myself for the worst.To my surprise, he was absolutely right—I didn’t even need Tylenol after surgery. The entire recovery was shockingly comfortable, and I’m still amazed by how smooth the process was.Even more importantly, the results exceeded my expectations. My breasts are now symmetrical, perfectly proportioned to my frame, and they look and feel incredibly natural. I truly couldn’t be happier.Dr. Iteld’s expertise, precision, and confidence gave me results I didn’t think were possible. I’m beyond grateful and would enthusiastically recommend him to anyone considering this procedure.
Let me begin by stating that this review will be lengthy, but it is well worth reading for those seeking an exceptional experience from start to finish. I have undergone breast augmentation twice in the past, with the first procedure yielding suboptimal results and the second being a repair surgery. Both experiences were painful. After many years, one implant ruptured, and I was referred to Dr. Iteld by my eye surgeon, who had previously performed successful cosmetic eyelid surgical procedures following Mohs surgery on my eye.It had been a challenging year. From my initial consultation to post-operative care, my experience with Dr. Iteld and his team has been nothing short of exceptional. Linda was extremely patient and took the time to ensure I selected the correct implant size for my body. Carole thoroughly explained the necessary post-operative care for optimal results. Dr. Iteld demonstrated exceptional bedside manner, a great sense of humor, and professionalism while addressing my concerns and questions with confidence. He assured me that he could repair the damage and that I would be pleased with the results, which would be relatively painless. His predictions were accurate. The results exceeded my expectations, with my breasts now being symmetrical, perfectly sized, and looking and feeling natural. I couldn't be more pleased. During my first follow-up appointment, I was offered a choice between Botox or filler, with no pressure. Ashley explained the offer and assisted with scheduling an appointment. I opted for Botox. After consulting with my eye surgeon regarding certain areas to avoid due to nerve issues, I spoke with Kimmy, who calmed my fears and demonstrated compassion, comfort, and expertise. She took the time to understand my skin care routine and provided guidance on proper product application and the importance of sunscreen. I was so impressed with Kimmy that I returned for filler, which I had previously been hesitant to try due to concerns about appearing unnatural. Kimmy listened attentively to my desires and thoroughly explained the procedure. The results are incredible and remarkably natural. I cannot praise the entire Iteld staff enough. They are consummate professionals, compassionate, and meticulous. From the outset, I felt cared for by everyone, and my confidence in my appearance has never been higher. Thank you to the entire Iteld staff.

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.
