Breast Augmentation | Washington DC, Virginia

For many women, an enhancement in breast size can make you feel more attractive and self-confident. Whether you naturally have small breasts or have lost breast volume secondary to pregnancy or weight loss, a breast augmentation can help you achieve the breast size you desire. Dr. Michaels' goal is to correctly match the proper implant to your body's proportions giving you a natural, long-lasting result.

During your consultation, Dr. Michaels will carefully listen to goals and discuss with you all the options to give you the breast size you desire. Important decisions that need to be made include:

  • implant size

  • implant type (silicone or saline)

  • incision placement

  • implant position (above or below the muscle)

In certain patients, breast augmentation is combined with a breast lift or mastopexy to enhance breast size and to lift the nipple to a more rejuvenated position. Depending on your age, you may be required to have a mammogram. Dr. Michaels only offers FDA-approved silicone and saline implants.
