Breast augmentation remains one of the most commonly performed cosmetic procedures in the United States — yet many women still feel uncertain about whether it is the right choice for them.
Some patients have considered breast augmentation for years. Others begin exploring the procedure after pregnancy, weight loss, aging changes, or simply wanting better balance and proportion in clothing.
The decision is personal, and there is no single “correct” reason to consider surgery.
What Is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a procedure designed to enhance breast volume, shape, and overall balance using breast implants.
At Godwin Plastic Surgery Center, many patients are seeking:
- Fuller but natural-looking volume
- Improved upper pole fullness
- Better symmetry
- Restoration of volume lost after pregnancy or weight changes
- Better proportion between the breasts and body frame
- Improved confidence in clothing and swimwear
The goal is not to create an artificial or overdone appearance. Most patients today desire elegant, proportional enhancement that fits naturally with their body.
Will I Look “Too Fake”?
This is one of the most common concerns discussed during consultation.
Modern breast augmentation has evolved significantly. Implant selection, surgical planning, and precise technique all play an important role in achieving a natural-looking outcome.
Dr. Kenneth Godwin takes a highly individualized approach to implant sizing and surgical planning, helping patients choose an implant that complements their anatomy and aesthetic goals rather than simply choosing the largest size possible.
What Type of Implants Are Used?
Our practice commonly utilizes Mentor cohesive gel implants, which are known for their soft, natural feel and excellent durability.
During your consultation, implant type, size, profile, placement, and incision options are all discussed carefully to help create the most appropriate surgical plan for your goals.
What Is Recovery Like?
Recovery varies from patient to patient, but many women are pleasantly surprised by how manageable the healing process can be.
Most patients experience temporary soreness, swelling, and tightness initially, with gradual improvement over the first several weeks. Detailed post-operative instructions and close follow-up care are provided throughout recovery.
How Much Does Breast Augmentation Cost?
At our practice, breast augmentation with Mentor cohesive gel implants is generally priced around $8,500.*
Many patients initially assume breast augmentation is significantly more expensive than it actually is. During consultation, we provide individualized recommendations and transparent pricing so patients can make informed decisions comfortably and confidently.
Choosing the Right Surgeon Matters
Breast augmentation is not simply about placing implants — it is about creating balanced, proportionate, natural-looking results while prioritizing patient safety.
Dr. Kenneth Godwin is known for his thoughtful approach, meticulous technique, and commitment to helping patients achieve refined outcomes that complement their natural figure.
