When one feels that their breasts are too small for their frame or liking, a breast augmentation is a chance to change that. Our cosmetic procedures in Phoenix, Surprise, and Buckeye are performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon in a state-of-the-art facility, following the highest standards of safety and quality. With our advanced treatments, patients can achieve larger and fuller breasts, improving their self-confidence and quality of life.
Breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic surgery used to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. Most commonly, breast augmentation is performed using customized implants, which are typically made with either silicone or saline. In some cases, the procedure can also be performed using a method called fat transfer. This technique involves removing excess fat from another area of the body and injecting it into the breasts.
Our team is proud to deliver beautiful results for women who decide to undergo a breast augmentation in Phoenix. Breast augmentation is more than a surgery — it’s also an art, and we are so happy to have a team of gifted surgeons with artistic eyes to achieve incredible results.
One of the reasons that breast augmentation is one of the world’s most popular cosmetic procedures is that it provides women with the confidence that they’ve been missing out on. Having the breasts you want can have an immensely positive impact on your self-esteem and quality of life, especially for those who have struggled with how they view their breasts for a long time.
Breast augmentation (the medical name is augmentation mammaplasty, and many people simply call it a “boob job”) is different from a breast lift, which raises and reshapes the breasts without adding volume, and from breast reconstruction after cancer treatment. Many patients choose a combination of these, and your consultation is where we work out which one fits your goals.
Breast augmentation at Regency Specialties is led by Dr. Jason Mussman, MD, FACS, a plastic and reconstructive surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery and a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons. Dr. Mussman trained for six years at Loma Linda University Medical Center and has been voted a “Top Doc” by Phoenix magazine in 2016, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023 and 2024. Patients from across the West Valley see us at our Phoenix office on W. Indian School Rd. and our two offices in Surprise, on W. Bell Rd. and W. Mountain View Blvd.
For patients who want a modest increase and prefer not to have implants, fat transfer breast augmentation uses your own fat. The fat is taken by liposuction from an area such as the abdomen or thighs, purified, and injected into the breasts. It usually adds about a half to one cup size, so it suits women who want a subtle, natural change and also have fat they would like removed elsewhere. Some of the transferred fat is reabsorbed by the body in the first months, and a second session is sometimes needed. Dr. Mussman can tell you at your consultation whether fat transfer, implants or a combination is the better fit for you.
Size is only one part of the decision. Implants also differ in shape (round or teardrop), in profile (how far they project from the chest) and in base width, and the right choice depends on your chest width, the amount of breast tissue you already have and the look you want. At your consultation we measure your chest and breasts, talk through how full you want the upper part of the breast to look, and help you try sizers so you can see and feel the difference before you decide. Bringing a few photos of results you like (and ones you don’t) makes this conversation much easier.
Once your plan is set, our team will give you written pre-surgery instructions. They usually include:
Stop smoking and all nicotine products, including vapes and patches, several weeks before and after surgery. Nicotine slows healing.
Pause aspirin, ibuprofen and certain supplements that can increase bleeding, as directed by your surgeon.
Get a baseline mammogram if your age or family history calls for one.
Complete any pre-operative lab work or medical clearance.
Arrange a ride home and someone to stay with you for the first night.
Set up your recovery space with loose, front-closing tops and your medications within reach.
Your surgeon will recommend the incision that suits your anatomy and implant choice. Scars are usually thin and fade over the first year.
After your breast augmentation, you’ll be given a special support bra to wear and detailed instructions for the healing process. For the first week of recovery, it will be important to rest frequently, but you’ll want to start taking light walks as soon as you feel up to it. Most patients are able to return to work and resume their normal routines approximately one to two weeks after the procedure. However, it’s best to avoid strenuous physical activity for at least four to six weeks.
Tightness, soreness and swelling are normal and are managed with prescribed medication. Rest, keep your arms close to your body and wear your support bra.
Rest often and take light walks. Most patients come back for their first follow-up visit during this week.
Most patients return to work and normal daily routines.
With your surgeon’s approval, you can gradually return to exercise, heavy lifting and strenuous activity.
Swelling resolves, the implants settle into their final position and scars continue to fade.
Call our office right away if you notice fever, sudden swelling of one breast, redness that spreads, or drainage from an incision.
While some initial changes will be visible soon after your surgery, the final results of your breast augmentation will gradually become apparent as swelling and bruising subside. It can take up to 6 months for the breasts to settle into their new shape and position. Because plastic surgery involves healing at both the tissue and skin levels, patience during this recovery phase is essential. By following your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions, you’ll help ensure the best possible outcome and enjoy your enhanced breast appearance with confidence.
Breast augmentation is an excellent option for individuals looking to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of their breasts. Ideal candidates are in good overall health, have fully developed breasts, and maintain realistic expectations about the procedure and its results. Those considering surgery should not be pregnant or breastfeeding and must either be non-smokers or willing to abstain temporarily to support proper healing.
In addition to aesthetic enhancement, breast augmentation can help restore breast volume lost due to weight fluctuations, pregnancy, or aging. Patients should understand the surgical process, including incision placement, implant selection, and recovery expectations. Proper preparation, such as maintaining a stable weight and following pre-surgical guidelines, can help optimize results.
A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is the best way to determine candidacy. During this process, the surgeon will assess anatomy, discuss aesthetic goals, and recommend the most suitable implant type and surgical approach for achieving natural, balanced, and long-lasting results.
You may be a good candidate if you:
The cost of breast augmentation in Phoenix ranges from $5,000 to $12,000, depending on various factors such as the type of implants used and the complexity of the surgical procedure. This price typically includes anesthesia, facility fees, and surgeon’s fees, making it essential to discuss all costs during your consultation to understand the full scope of the investment involved.
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure, so health insurance does not usually cover it. The figures above are typical ranges for the Phoenix area, not a quote. Your exact price depends on your anatomy and the plan you choose, so the best way to get an accurate number is to book a consultation.
Breast implants are not lifetime devices, but many patients keep the same implants for 10 to 20 years or longer. You do not need to replace them on a set schedule if they are healthy. The FDA recommends imaging (ultrasound or MRI) to check silicone implants for a silent rupture starting five to six years after surgery and every two to three years after that. If your implants ever need to be replaced or removed, we can talk you through revision options.
Every incision leaves a scar, but breast augmentation incisions are placed in the breast crease, at the edge of the areola or in the underarm so they are hard to see. Most scars fade to a thin, light line within about a year. Following your scar care instructions and protecting the area from the Arizona sun helps them heal well.
Many women are able to breastfeed after breast augmentation, especially when the implant is placed under the muscle and the incision is not made around the nipple. If you plan to have children, let us know at your consultation so your surgeon can choose the approach that best protects your ability to breastfeed.

“5 stars are not enough. I could not be more pleased. After living 15 years with a bad augmentation, the breast revision that Dr Dang performed exceeded my expectations. His bedside manner was awesome and he was both responsive and attentive from consultation through the final 6week follow up. I would recommend him without reservation.”
