Breast Augmentation New Jersey
Breast augmentation - also referred to as augmentation mammoplasty - is a surgical procedure that enhances the size, shape, and projection of your breasts with implants or fat grafting. The goal of this cosmetic treatment is to increase breast volume, restore fullness lost after pregnancy or weight changes, or improve natural symmetry. Partridge Plastic Surgery aims to deliver the best breast Augmentation New Jersey has to offer.
Plastic surgeons place either saline or silicone implants beneath the breast tissue or chest muscle to create a fuller, more balanced contour. For qualified patients, fat transfer from another area of your body may be used to achieve a softer, more natural enhancement.
Life changes such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight shifts, or simply aging, may, over time, affect the shape and fullness of your breasts. Some women may also have naturally smaller breasts that may leave you feeling less confident in your favorite clothes or your own skin. An expertly performed breast augmentation in New Jersey improves your breast shape and volume in order to restore your sense of self-confidence.

Types of Breast Implants
There are two main types of breast implants - silicone and saline. Within these categories, patients can choose from different variations such as cohesive silicone (“gummy bear”) implants, structured saline implants, smooth or textured shells, and round or anatomical shapes. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the majority of breast augmentations in the United States are performed using silicone or saline implants versus fat grafting. Dr. Partridge and her team at Partridge Plastic Surgery (PPS) help each patient choose the ideal implant type and variation to achieve natural-looking, beautifully balanced results:
Silicone Implants
Silicone breast implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel that closely mimics the softness and movement of natural breast tissue. They’re a popular choice for women who want a smooth, natural feel and long-lasting aesthetic results. Silicone implants are FDA-approved for women aged 22 and older, reflecting their safety and performance standards. Available in various shapes and profiles, silicone implants allow for highly personalized outcomes. About 87% of breast implants used in augmentation mammoplasty tend to be silicone gel implants.
Why do People Choose Silicone Implants in New Jersey?
- Soft, natural feel
- Available in multiple shapes and profiles
- FDA-approved and widely used
- Great choice for patients seeking a natural, smooth result
Saline Implants
Saline breast implants are filled with a sterile saltwater solution after placement, which allows for precise adjustments in volume during surgery. They typically require smaller incisions and are FDA-approved for patients 18 and older. Many women appreciate their safety profile because if a saline implant leaks, the body naturally absorbs the solution.
Why do People Choose Saline Implants in New Jersey?
-
Saline implants are filled after placement, allowing a smaller incision.
-
If rupture occurs, the body safely absorbs the saline (saltwater solution).
-
Volume can be adjusted during surgery for better symmetry and sizing.
-
Typically more affordable than silicone implants, making them budget-friendly.
- Provide a firmer feel that some patients prefer
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation NJ
There are two main types of breast implants - silicone and saline. Within these categories, patients can choose from different variations such as cohesive silicone (“gummy bear”) implants, structured saline implants, smooth or textured shells, and round or anatomical shapes. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the majority of breast augmentations in the United States are performed using silicone or saline implants versus fat grafting. Dr. Partridge and her team at Partridge Plastic Surgery (PPS) help each patient choose the ideal implant type and variation to achieve natural-looking, beautifully balanced results:
How Fat Transfer Works
Your fat transfer breast augmentation in Princeton NJ, begins with liposuction. Dr. Partridge will gently remove excess fat from areas such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks. The harvested fat is then purified and carefully injected into the breasts to enhance shape, fullness, and symmetry. Since the enhancement uses your own tissue, the results both look and feel natural, with no risk of implant-related complications. Many patients also enjoy the added benefit of body contouring in their donor areas.
Is Fat Transfer Right for You?
Fat transfer breast augmentation is ideal for women who:
- Desire a modest, natural increase in breast size
- Prefer an implant-free enhancement
- Have adequate donor fat for harvesting
- Want to correct mild asymmetry or restore volume after pregnancy or weight loss
Princeton plastic surgeon Dr. Partridge emphasizes that while fat transfer beautifully enhances natural curves, it may not achieve the same level of volume as implants. During your initial consultation at her offices in Princeton or North Brunswick, Dr. Partridge will help you determine whether this approach or traditional breast implants are ideal for your goals.
How Breast Augmentation Surgery is Performed
Breast augmentation is typically an outpatient procedure performed by Dr. Partridge at an accredited surgical facility. During your surgery at Partridge Plastic Surgery, Dr. Joanna Partridge's anesthetist usually uses general anesthesia for your comfort. She makes small, discreet incisions - often beneath the breast fold or around the areola. The implant is then carefully inserted either beneath or above the chest muscle, depending on your anatomy and goals.
Once the implants are positioned, incisions are closed with fine sutures to minimize scarring. The procedure usually takes one to two hours, and most patients return home the same day with a supportive garment and detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth, comfortable recovery.
