Many women want to feel more confident in the size of their breasts. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Eric Wright performs breast augmentation with implants in Little Rock, AR, to increase volume and create the curves many women associate with femininity and attractiveness. The reasons for choosing breast augmentation vary with our patients from Fayetteville, Jonesboro, Conway, Hot Springs, Pine Bluff, and other nearby cities. Many want to restore lost volume after pregnancy; some seek a size that feels in better proportion with their body; others simply want to feel more confident when wearing a tank top or swimsuit.
Keep in mind that each patient is unique and your results may vary.
Ideal candidates are women who are in good health and want to make one or both breasts larger.
The cost for breast augmentation varies with the specifics of your procedure, including surgical technique and choice of implants. Dr. Wright will discuss all your options during the consultation process and then provide you with a personalized quote.
Dr. Wright’s patients have many high-quality options when choosing their breast implants. Breast augmentation is a highly customizable procedure that can be adjusted to each patient’s needs. One key component of achieving flattering, natural-looking results is choosing the right breast implants. There are several factors to consider when choosing.
Implants are filled with either saline (saltwater) or silicone gel. While each type has its own unique benefits, most patients today choose silicone because it creates a more natural look and feel.
Choosing the size for your implants is one of the most exciting parts of breast augmentation. Our team will take your measurements and help you choose an implant size that complements your frame and achieves a natural-looking result. It’s essential to choose a size that not only enhances your appearance but also feels comfortable and suits your daily activities.
Also known as “projection,” the profile of your implant describes how far it protrudes from your chest. High-profile implants are more dramatic and noticeable, while low-profile implants are more natural-looking and subtle.
During breast enlargement surgery, Dr. Wright creates a space, called a pocket, behind the breast tissue for the implant. The best placement option varies with the amount of natural breast tissue you have, your choice of implants, and other factors.
The newest advancements in surgical techniques now allow for a natural breast augmentation utilizing fat grafting techniques. This natural alternative to breast implants creates a subtle, natural-looking enhancement.
Dr. Wright performs fat grafting augmentation by removing fat from various areas of the body with liposuction. He then purifies and concentrates the healthy fat cells using a closed-system device. Using a thin, hollow cannula, Dr. Wright carefully injects the purified fat into areas of the breasts that need fullness. Though specific techniques are performed to maximize the fat grafting volume retention, it will take several weeks to see how much remains viable.
Fat transfer is increasing in demand at Dr. Wright’s practice with women who have had their implants removed, or who only want a subtle size increase and want an alternative to implants. Breast augmentation with fat grafting can be performed at the time of breast implant removal or, more commonly, several months after the breasts have healed. Learn more in this blog post.
Five years after a breast fat transfer, most patients enjoy stable, natural-looking results. While some grafted fat cells may not have survived the initial transfer, the remaining fat integrates with the surrounding tissue, maintaining volume and contour over time. Though aging, weight changes, and hormonal shifts may affect the breasts, the successfully established fat cells provide lasting enhancement, making this an effective option for subtle breast augmentation.

Fat grafting or breast implants add breast volume, correct asymmetry, or make the breasts appear more proportional to the rest of the body. Women who would like to enhance other areas as well include breast augmentation in a combination procedure called a mommy makeover.

Breast augmentation can slightly elevate breasts with minimal sagging, but most women with sagging breasts are better suited for a breast lift, either with or without breast augmentation.
Yes. Many women make the most of their recovery by combining breast augmentation with other procedures. Popular choices include:
Combining breast augmentation with liposuction and a tummy tuck is often called a mommy makeover because many women choose this combination of procedures to address the effects of pregnancy and breastfeeding.

With Vectra 3D, you can have confidence in the outcome of your breast augmentation journey.
Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Wright begins the surgery by making an inframammary incision along the breast crease. This incision allows for direct access to the breast pocket and is well-concealed in a swimsuit or bra. He then creates a pocket for each implant according to the surgical plan.
Following completion of the procedure, the incisions are closed with sutures and surgical tape. The surgery takes around 1 to 3 hours to complete. Patients need to have a friend or loved one drive them home.
If you’re visiting Little Rock to see Dr. Wright, our patient care team will help make your trip easy and enjoyable.
Breast augmentation recovery depends on several factors. Implant placement, implant size, and incision location can all affect the healing process. If fat grafting is performed, you may need to wear compression garments to minimize swelling during the postoperative period on areas where liposuction was used to harvest fat. Overall, most patients experience minor soreness and swelling following surgery. Learn more in this blog post.
A follow-up appointment with Dr. Wright will be scheduled for around 1 week after surgery for Little Rock and surrounding area patients. Out-of-town patients can travel home within 3 days of the procedure.
Breast implants do not compromise the safety of breastfeeding. As with women who don’t have implants, many can successfully breastfeed, and some cannot. Let Dr. Wright know if you think you might want to breastfeed in the future, and he will take special care to avoid the milk glands during the surgery.
Pain is usually mild to moderate after breast augmentation, depending on implant placement and individual tolerance. Prescription medication is enough to keep most patients comfortable for the first 5 to 7 days when discomfort is most intense.
The majority of women can return to work within a week of surgery. More intensive movements, such as reaching, lifting, or high-impact exercise, should be postponed for 4 to 6 weeks.
Dr. Wright places the incisions along the breast crease where the breasts and clothing cover the resulting scars. The incisions usually heal to a thin, faint scar within about a year.
Initially, the breasts are high on the chest and tight for about 3 months until swelling diminishes and tissues relax, allowing the implants to “drop and fluff.”
Breast implants do not have specific expiration dates, although they are not designed to last a lifetime. Today’s implants last at least 10 years.
Many women monitor their breast implants regularly to avoid the unlikely potential risk for complications such as capsular contracture, leaks, and ruptures. To help you preserve your health and surgical investment, we offer our breast augmentation patients the convenience of complimentary in-office breast implant ultrasound screenings beginning 5 years after implant placement.
