Breast Augmentation in Toronto with Dr. Quinton Chivers Who Is Breast Augmentation For?

Breast augmentation is a surgical option worth considering if you are bothered by any of the following:

Breasts that feel too small relative to your frame
Noticeable asymmetry between the two sides
Volume loss after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight changes
Lack of fullness in the upper breast

These are physical concerns that no amount of diet or exercise can change. Breast augmentation addresses them directly.

What Does Breast Augmentation Surgery Involve?

Dr. Chivers places silicone or saline implants either above or below the pectoral muscle, based on your anatomy and the result you want. Silicone implants are the most commonly chosen for their natural look and feel.

The incision is typically made in the breast fold (inframammary crease) for the most discreet scar placement. The procedure takes approximately one to two hours under general anesthesia. Most patients return home the same day.

FAQs Breast Augmentation in Toronto

Are breast implants safe?

Yes. Implants used in Canada are Health Canada-approved and have a strong long-term safety record. Dr. Chivers reviews all device options, risks, and considerations at your consultation.

What is the difference between silicone and saline implants?

Silicone implants are filled with cohesive gel and tend to look and feel more natural. Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater and can be adjusted slightly in volume at the time of surgery. Dr. Chivers will recommend based on your anatomy and goals.

Will I lose nipple sensation after breast augmentation?

Temporary changes in sensation are common and typically resolve within a few months. Permanent changes occur in a small percentage of cases and are discussed at your consultation.

How long do breast implants last?

Implants are not considered lifetime devices, but many patients go 15 or more years without needing a replacement. Dr. Chivers will walk you through what signs would prompt a revision and what to expect long-term.

Can I breastfeed after getting implants?

Most women can breastfeed after augmentation. Placement below the muscle is generally less likely to interfere with milk supply. Dr. Chivers will advise based on your anatomy during your consultation.

Will scarring be visible?

Incisions placed in the breast fold are well-concealed and are not visible in most clothing or swimwear. Scars fade significantly over 12-18 months.

What is the difference between breast augmentation and breast augmentation with a lift?

Augmentation adds volume. A lift repositions and reshapes breast tissue. If your breasts have both lost volume and developed sagging, combining both procedures produces the best result. Dr. Chivers assesses this at your consultation and recommends accordingly. See breast augmentation with lift for more details.

How do I know what size is right for me?

Implant sizing is both a personal and clinical decision. Dr. Chivers uses your measurements, body frame, and a thorough discussion of your goals to recommend sizes that suit your proportions and the outcome you want.
