Frequently Asked Questions
Who is a good candidate for breast augmentation?
Good candidates are women in good health who are dissatisfied with the size, shape, or symmetry of their breasts. This includes women whose breasts feel disproportionate to their body, those who have experienced volume loss after pregnancy or with age, and women with natural breast asymmetry they wish to correct.
Can breast augmentation correct uneven breast sizes?
Yes. One of the most effective uses of breast augmentation is correcting size differences between the two breasts. Your surgeon can use different implant sizes or profiles to create a more balanced and symmetrical appearance that makes bra fitting more comfortable and improves overall body confidence.
What happens during a breast augmentation consultation at NOVA?
Dr. Zahir will examine your breasts, review your medical history, discuss your goals and desired outcome, and assess whether those goals are realistic for your anatomy. You will learn about the full procedure, implant options, expected recovery, and what steps are involved so you can make a completely informed decision.
Is breast augmentation a one-size-fits-all procedure?
Not at all. Every breast augmentation at NOVA is customized to the individual patient. Decisions about implant size, material, profile, placement, and incision location are all tailored to your specific anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals to ensure results that look and feel natural for you.
What should my expectations be going into breast augmentation?
Realistic expectations are essential. Breast augmentation will enhance your breast size and shape and can significantly improve your confidence and satisfaction with your appearance. However, it will not resolve other life concerns, and your surgeon will make sure your goals are grounded in what the procedure can realistically achieve.
