The Approach

Sized to
Your Frame.

Some women have always wanted fuller breasts. Others had the fullness and lost it after pregnancy or weight loss, and want it back. Breast augmentation adds that volume, with an implant or with your own fat. The right implant is the one that fits your chest. Dr. Schwartz chooses the size and shape from your chest width and the tissue you already have, so the result looks and moves like a natural breast.

At the consultation, Dr. Schwartz goes through the choices with you, from implant material to profile. He usually recommends silicone gel implants, because their feel and density come closest to natural breast tissue. Saline is also available, including the Serene implant, for women who prefer a water-filled device. For shape, he generally advises round implants. In his experience, teardrop implants can rotate and look unnatural, whereas round implants give predictable projection that follows the natural slope of the breast.

Your Options in Detail

Dr. Schwartz specializes in highly cohesive silicone gel implants, often called "gummy bear" implants, because they closely match the weight and density of natural tissue. For women who prefer saline but want a better feel, he also offers the Serene implant, which uses internal shells to give a more stable, more natural texture than traditional saline.

Dr. Schwartz offers implants in five profiles, which differ in how far they project. Dr. Schwartz generally recommends round implants, which give consistent fullness and avoid the problem of a teardrop implant rotating. At your consultation he measures your chest width and existing tissue to choose the projection, from moderate to high, that fits your proportions.

Dr. Schwartz uses either an incision in the breast crease (inframammary) or at the edge of the areola (periareolar), depending on your anatomy and implant. Either way the scar sits where swimwear and lingerie cover it, and it usually fades to a fine line over the first year.

Dr. Schwartz was the first surgeon in Dallas to offer this technique. He uses fat transfer instead of an implant, or together with one to smooth its edges. He takes excess fat from areas like the abdomen, purifies it and injects it into the breast, which suits women who want a small, natural increase in volume.

Dr. Schwartz usually recommends general anesthesia. In some cases the operation can be done under local anesthesia with sedation instead.

Most patients return to office work within 4 to 5 days. You will probably feel back to normal quickly, but Dr. Schwartz recommends waiting at least three weeks before strenuous exercise or heavy lifting.

Dr. Schwartz also performs complex breast revision surgery, including implant exchanges, capsulectomies, and augmentation combined with a breast lift. When pregnancy, weight loss or age has changed the breast, he restores its position and support.

“I am so pleased with the results of my breast augmentation performed by Dr. Schwartz. I was extremely nervous trusting the process of getting the results I wanted from choosing example pictures and speaking directly with Dr. Schwartz, but dang it if he didn’t NAIL IT.”

“My surgery was comfortable and recovery was relatively easy, and I LOVE the results! I'm now about 6 months post-op, and my new breasts look and feel like ME. They don't look or feel "fake" - half the time I forget that I even have them! It's like he made me look like I should have looked all along.”

Step by Step

What to Expect

What happens from consultation to final result.

Step 01

Your Consultation

You start with a private, unhurried consultation with Dr. Schwartz. He examines you, talks through what you want, reviews implant options and profiles, and outlines a surgical plan for your frame. There is no obligation.

Step 02

Pre-Operative Planning

Once you decide to go ahead, our patient concierge arranges the pre-operative details: lab work, medical clearance, pre-surgery instructions and any other arrangements. You receive a preparation guide and can reach our team directly with any questions.

Step 03

Surgery Day

Breast augmentation is performed as an outpatient procedure in our private surgical suite under general anesthesia. The procedure typically takes one to two hours. You will be discharged the same day into the care of a designated companion, with all post-operative supplies and instructions provided.

Step 04  •  Days 1–7

Early Recovery

Some tightness and soreness in the chest is normal and controlled with prescribed medication. Most patients are comfortable moving around their home within 24 hours. You will wear a supportive surgical bra and avoid raising your arms above shoulder height. Your first follow-up visit is usually the next day.

Step 05  •  Weeks 2–6

Return to Activity

Most patients return to desk work and light daily activities within 4 to 5 days. Light walking is encouraged from day one. More strenuous activity, exercise, and heavy lifting resume at about three weeks, guided by Dr. Schwartz's assessment at your follow-up appointments.

Step 06  •  Months 3–6

Final Results

Implants settle into their final position and the surrounding tissue softens over three to six months. Most patients see their definitive results by the three-month mark. After that, Dr. Schwartz sees you once a year.

Is This Right for Me?

This is a general guide. Your consultation with Dr. Schwartz will give you a definite answer.

You may be an ideal candidate if

Common Reasons
Patients Choose This

  • You want fuller breasts, or you lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss and want it back.
  • You want a result planned around your own anatomy rather than a standard size.
  • You are in good general health and at a stable weight.
  • You do not smoke, or you will stop all nicotine well before surgery.
  • You have realistic expectations and a specific goal in mind.
We recommend discussing further if you

Things to Consider
Before Proceeding

  • You are pregnant or nursing, or you plan more children and breastfeeding matters to you.
  • You want to understand the upkeep your implant needs, such as the periodic imaging Dr. Schwartz recommends for silicone gel.
  • You have too little breast tissue for the size you want, or you have had earlier surgery that changes how Dr. Schwartz would operate.
  • You are considering fat transfer, which needs enough fat to take from elsewhere and adds less volume than an implant.
  • You have a medical condition that is not well controlled, or another health concern that could complicate surgery or recovery.
  • You are hoping for perfection. Dr. Schwartz will talk frankly with you about what surgery can and cannot do.

The only way to know for sure is a consultation with Dr. Schwartz. It is private and unhurried, and there is no obligation.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked

Answers to the questions Dr. Schwartz hears most often during consultations.

Most healthy women at a stable weight who want fuller breasts, or want back the volume lost after pregnancy, are candidates. Dr. Schwartz looks at your build and what you want. He offers implants from more than one brand, so the choice is made around your body rather than a single product line.

It depends on what matters most to you in look, feel and upkeep. Dr. Schwartz does most augmentations with highly cohesive 'gummy bear' silicone gel implants, because they come closest to the weight and feel of natural breast tissue. He also offers saline and the Serene Breast Implant, a structured saline implant whose feel falls between traditional saline and silicone. At your consultation he will go over which suits your anatomy.

Teardrop implants are shaped to look natural in the box, but they can rotate inside the breast and distort its shape. In Dr. Schwartz’s experience, round implants give a natural result without that risk. He gets the look you want by choosing the right profile (how far the implant projects) rather than a shaped implant that may shift over time.

Modern implants are durable and have no set expiration date, though most patients consider revision after 10–20 years as their bodies change. If a saline implant leaks, the salt water is safely absorbed and the breast deflates. Silicone gel is thicker and stays within the shell if a leak occurs, so Dr. Schwartz follows FDA recommendations and advises silicone patients to have an ultrasound or MRI every few years to check that the implants are intact.

Dr. Schwartz was the first surgeon in Dallas to offer breast augmentation with fat transfer. It uses your own fat, taken from areas like the stomach or thighs, to enlarge the breasts. The technique has limits. The fat has to be injected in tiny droplets so that it survives, which limits how much volume can be added in one session. It suits women who want a modest, natural increase rather than a big change in size.

Dr. Schwartz generally recommends general anesthesia. Most patients return to office work within 4 to 5 days, with early discomfort controlled by prescribed medication. You will need to avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for 3 weeks while the implants settle. You get a detailed recovery timeline at your pre-operative appointment, and it is outlined on this page under 'What to Expect.'

In most cases, breast augmentation does not affect the ability to breastfeed. Placing the implant beneath the muscle (submuscular) and making the incision under the breast fold (inframammary) have the least effect on breast tissue and milk ducts. If breastfeeding matters to you, tell Dr. Schwartz at your consultation. It will decide which approach and incision he uses.

The fee depends on the implant, how complex the surgery is, and the anesthesia. For example, structured implants like the Serene have a more complex internal design and cost more to make than standard saline. You receive an itemized fee quote after your consultation with Dr. Schwartz, because a price given without an examination would not be honest or accurate.

The Experience

Recovery & Concierge Care

You go home the same day. Dr. Schwartz sees you the next day, then typically at one week, three weeks, two months, four months and six months, adjusted to how you are healing. He does almost all follow-up visits himself, and at each one he gives you a specific plan for the weeks ahead. You leave wearing a supportive surgical bra, with instructions for your first days at home.

The office can be reached 24 hours a day. After-hours calls from patients recovering from surgery go directly to Dr. Schwartz, so an important question never waits until morning. The recovery is planned so that any responsible adult can look after you at home. If you would rather have a nurse caring for you at home or in a hotel, we can arrange it.
