What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation uses implants or fat transfer to increase breast size and improve shape and symmetry. Dr. Leppard helps you choose the approach and proportions that suit your body and lifestyle for a natural, balanced result.
Dr. Leppard’s approach prioritizes results that are refined, balanced, and true to each patient’s natural features. During your consultation he takes the time to understand what you want to achieve, then explains every option, tradeoff, and realistic outcome so you can make an informed decision.
To learn whether breast augmentation is right for you, the best next step is a personal consultation.

FAQ
Breast Augmentation frequently asked questions
How long does breast augmentation recovery take?
Most patients return to desk work in about a week and resume exercise in 4 to 6 weeks. Implants settle into their final position over 3 to 6 months.
Silicone or saline implants?
Both are safe, FDA approved options. Silicone implants tend to feel more natural, while saline implants can use a smaller incision. Dr. Leppard will help you choose based on your body and goals.
Do breast implants need to be replaced?
Implants are not lifetime devices, but there is no set expiration date. Many last well over 10 years. Replacement is recommended if a problem develops or your goals change.
Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation?
Many women are able to breastfeed after augmentation. Dr. Leppard can discuss incision and placement options that help protect breastfeeding.
This information is general and does not replace a medical consultation. Individual results vary.
