Breast Augmentation in
Frisco, TX
Bombshelled Aesthetics • Dr. Pamela Brownlee
Most patients considering breast augmentation are worried about the same thing. Not whether it will work, but whether it will look done.
That worry usually traces back to a single decision made badly: an implant chosen by cup size rather than by the patient’s frame. Dr. Pamela Brownlee approaches it the other way around. She measures the chest wall, assesses tissue thickness and skin quality, and works out which implant those measurements will carry.
Dr. Brownlee is a double board-certified plastic surgeon, certified by both the American Board of Plastic Surgery and the American Board of Surgery, and she completed an Aesthetic Plastic Surgery Fellowship in Dallas, TX. She has performed over 120 breast procedures in private practice since 2022. Every surgery takes place in a Medicare-certified, Texas-licensed ambulatory surgery center.
Patients comparing plastic surgeons across the Dallas-Fort Worth area typically weigh training, board certification, surgical volume, and where the procedure is performed. Both implant and fat transfer augmentation are available at Bombshelled Aesthetics, and pricing starts between $6,800 and $8,100 depending on implant type, quoted out-the-door with nothing added afterward.

What Is A Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is an aesthetic surgical procedure that changes the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. Dr. Brownlee uses a variety of breast augmentation techniques to accentuate your natural curves, giving you a balanced, proportionate look. Whether you desire a fuller shape with breast implants or a more natural enhancement using fat grafting, Dr. Brownlee will customize your breast augmentation to ensure that your results beautifully align with your personal style.
A breast augmentation surgery offers numerous benefits, including:
- Enhanced breast size and shape.
- Improved symmetry and balance.
- Restored volume.
- Boosted self-confidence and body image.
- Increased variety of clothing styles to flatter your new figure.
- Natural-feeling and long-lasting results.
Breast Augmentation Procedure
Breast Implant Placement
What Are the Types of Breast Augmentation?
Dr. Brownlee uses MENTOR implants exclusively, in both saline and MemoryGel BOOST silicone.
Saline Implants
Saline breast implants are a popular choice for those seeking customizable size options, as they are inserted partially deflated and then filled with sterile saline solution during the procedure. This allows Dr. Brownlee to fine-tune each side for precise symmetry and volume, making them especially beneficial for patients with natural asymmetry. Saline implants provide a firmer feel, require a smaller incision, and are generally less expensive than their silicone counterparts. Additionally, if these breast implant shells become compromised, your body will easily absorb the saline, providing an extra layer of safety and peace of mind.
Silicone Implants
Silicone implants are filled with a cohesive gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue and holds its shape over time. Bombshelled Aesthetics uses MENTOR MemoryGel BOOST implants. During the consultation Dr. Brownlee reviews profile, projection, and base width, and recommends options that suit the patient’s chest measurements and goals.
Fat Transfer to the Breasts Augmentation
Fat transfer to the breast offers a natural alternative to traditional breast implants, using your body’s own fat tissues to enhance your breast volume and shape. This procedure involves liposuction to harvest fat tissue from areas like the abdomen, thighs, or flanks, which is then meticulously injected into your breasts. The result is a soft, natural feel and appearance, with the added benefit of contouring the donor areas. Fat transfer breast augmentation is an excellent option for those seeking a subtle enhancement without the use of synthetic materials, providing a harmonious and personalized result.
Implant type is only half the decision. Where the implant sits matters just as much to how the result looks.
Breast Implant Types
Implant Placement and Incision Options
Over or Under the Muscle
Implants may be placed beneath the pectoralis major muscle, known as submuscular placement, or above the muscle and behind the breast tissue, known as subglandular placement. Submuscular placement adds soft tissue coverage over the upper edge of the implant, which can reduce visible rippling in patients with thinner tissue. Subglandular placement avoids disruption of the muscle. Dr. Brownlee and the patient decide placement together during the consultation, based on tissue thickness, patient preference, and activity level.
Where the Incision Is Placed
Breast augmentation incisions are most often placed in the inframammary fold, the natural crease beneath the breast, or around the lower border of the areola. The inframammary approach gives direct access to the pocket and places the scar in the crease, where it is covered by a bra or swimwear. The periareolar approach places the scar at the border between the areola and the breast skin, where the change in color helps disguise it. Dr. Brownlee discusses which approach suits the implant type and the planned pocket, and marks the incision before surgery.

Am I a Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
Ideal candidates for breast augmentation are individuals looking to enhance their breast size, shape, and overall appearance. This procedure is excellent for improving breast symmetry or restoring volume lost over time.

Once the plan is set and a surgery date is on the calendar, the next few weeks are about preparation.
Preparing for Breast Augmentation
Most of what makes recovery straightforward happens before surgery day.
Maintain a balanced diet high in protein and keep yourself well-hydrated to aid your body in the healing process.
Schedule a thorough health check with your primary care provider to ensure you are in optimal condition for surgery.
Bring a comprehensive list of your current medications and supplements to your appointment. Some may need to be adjusted before and after the procedure.
Stop smoking, vaping, or using nicotine products at least 6 weeks prior to and following breast surgery to optimize your healing.
Organize a comfortable and clean area at home with all essentials within easy reach. Stock up on necessary supplies, fill any required prescriptions, and prepare meals ahead of time or plan for meal deliveries.
Make sure you have a responsible adult available to drive you home and assist you during the first few days post-surgery. Additional help with household tasks, pets, or children may also be necessary.
Mental preparation is as vital as physical readiness. Approach your surgery with a positive mindset, understanding that patience during recovery will lead to rewarding results. Dr. Brownlee and our team are here to provide support, answer your questions, and offer encouragement throughout your transformative journey.
The Day of Your Breast Augmentation
Most patients are more nervous about surgery day than about the surgery itself. Here is what actually happens.
Here’s what you can expect on your surgery day:
- Outpatient Procedure: Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure, allowing you to go home the same day. Make sure a responsible adult is available to drive you home and assist you, especially for the first several days.
- Pre-op Preparation: Upon your arrival at the surgical center, you will be guided to the pre-op area. Dr. Brownlee will meet with you to go over the details of your procedure, address last-minute questions, and make the pre-surgical markings.
- Anesthesia: For your comfort, our anesthesia provider will administer either general anesthesia or sedation based on your procedure and health needs.
- Procedure Duration: Breast augmentation typically lasts between 1-2 hours, depending on whether additional adjustments like repositioning the breasts are required. Dr. Brownlee will meticulously shape your curves to achieve the look you desire.
- Incision Placement. Dr. Brownlee makes the incision at the marked location, places the implant in the planned pocket, closes in layers, and fits a supportive post-surgical bra.
- Recovery Area: Post-surgery, you will be moved to our recovery area, where our attentive team will make sure you wake up smoothly and comfortably.
- Post-op Care: Before you leave, we’ll review your post-op instructions, activity guidelines, medication directions, signs to watch for, and your scheduled follow-up with both you and the person caring for you at home.
Your breast augmentation surgery day marks a significant step toward achieving your aesthetic goals, and we are honored to be part of this transformative journey. At Bombshelled Aesthetics, Dr. Brownlee and our dedicated team will be with you every step of the way, ensuring you feel supported and confident from start to finish.
The surgery itself is over in about two hours. Recovery is the longer part.

What is Breast Augmentation Recovery Like? When Can I Start Exercising?
Recovery is the longer part of breast augmentation, and it is where most patients have questions.
You’ll be up and walking starting on the day of your breast augmentation surgery to promote circulation and begin your recovery process. Swelling and bruising are expected.
Most patients return to non-strenuous work and routine activities. It’s normal to still be swollen at this point and for the breast implants to be sitting high on your chest.
You can gradually resume light cardio exercises, such as jogging and stationary biking. Avoid heavy lifting or exercises that intensely engage your chest muscles. The breast implants will continue to settle on your chest, and you will start to see your new curves developing.
You may resume full activity, including heavy lifting, yoga, and more strenuous activities. The breast implants will be rounding out, or “fluffing,” and Dr. Brownlee may allow you to resume wearing your regular bras.
Complete recovery, including breast implants settling into their final location and scars fading, can take up to a year. Stay patient and remember that every day is a step closer to achieving your desired results.
How Soon Will I See My Breast Augmentation Results?
After your breast augmentation, you’ll notice an immediate improvement in the size and shape of your breasts. Initially, the breast implants may sit high on your chest, giving them an oval appearance. Over the next several weeks to months, the swelling will subside and the breast implants will gradually settle into a beautiful, natural-looking round shape. Full results typically emerge within 6 to 12 months, allowing you to fully enjoy your enhanced silhouette.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Augmentation
Most patients start with board certification and fellowship training, then review before and after photographs for patients whose starting anatomy resembles their own. At Bombshelled Aesthetics in Frisco, TX, Dr. Pamela Brownlee, DO, FACS, plans each augmentation from chest wall measurements, tissue thickness, and the patient’s stated goals. Crisalix 3D imaging is included with consultation, so patients can view a simulated result on their own body before deciding on implant size and profile.
Breast augmentation was the second most commonly performed aesthetic surgical procedure in the United States in 2024, according to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons. Liposuction ranked first, and tummy tuck ranked third.
Breast augmentation at Bombshelled Aesthetics typically starts between $6,800 and $8,100 depending on implant type. Every price quoted is out-the-door and includes the surgeon’s fee, anesthesia, and facility costs, so nothing is added afterward. Final pricing depends on implant selection and on whether another procedure is performed at the same time. Financing is available through Cherry, PatientFi, Alphaeon, and CareCredit.
Choosing implants is a highly personalized process that Dr. Brownlee carefully tailors to each breast augmentation patient. During your consultation, she will talk with you to understand your goals, review example photos you bring, and evaluate your chest structure with precise measurements. Using her extensive experience, Dr. Brownlee will then recommend breast implant options that harmonize with your natural anatomy and reflect your aesthetic goals. Together, you’ll make a decision that aligns with your personal style while ensuring it’s appropriate and safe.
To ensure you get the size you desire, Dr. Brownlee emphasizes clear communication and careful planning. During your breast augmentation consultation, we will discuss your goals, examine example photos you bring in, and have you try on sizers to visualize different options. This process helps align your expectations with the surgical possibilities, allowing you to choose the size of breast implants that best fits your aesthetic aspirations.
Within silicone implants, there are different levels of gel cohesiveness that can alter the shape and feel, providing a range of options to suit your preferences. Dr. Brownlee will discuss the benefits of each option to help you choose the silicone gel implants type that best matches your desired outcome, ensuring a beautiful result tailored to your body.
While a breast augmentation can enhance cleavage, it cannot change the natural distance between your breasts. Similarly, a breast augmentation can fill in the upper poles of your breasts to make them appear more round, but it will not raise your breast tissue higher on your chest. If you have sagging tissues, want your breasts to sit higher, or want to reposition your breasts on your chest wall, you may be a better candidate for a breast lift with augmentation. Dr. Brownlee will work with you to achieve your ideal look while maintaining the natural harmony of your body.
The Keller Funnel is a specialized device used in breast augmentation procedures to insert silicone breast implants with a “no-touch technique.” This innovative tool offers several benefits, including reduced risk of implant contamination, minimized incision size, and less trauma to the surrounding breast tissue. Using the Keller Funnel, Dr. Brownlee enhances both the safety and aesthetics of your procedure, ensuring you achieve a smoother, more efficient operation with optimal results.
The “no-touch technique” of implant insertion is a method used during breast augmentation to minimize the risk of contamination and infection. This technique involves using tools like the Keller Funnel to transfer the breast implant directly from its sterile packaging into the breast without ever touching it directly. Reducing direct contact with the implant is intended to lower the risk of contamination during placement.
An “internal bra” such as GalaFLEX may be recommended during your breast augmentation to provide additional support and stability for your implants. This bioabsorbable material reinforces your soft tissues and is especially useful in cases of massive weight loss, significant sagging, and large breast implants. Dr. Brownlee also likes to use this mesh in revision surgeries where previous implants may have caused stretching of your tissues. Dr. Brownlee assesses anatomy and surgical history to determine whether this added reinforcement is appropriate for the surgical plan.
Combining a breast lift with implants may be necessary if you have significant sagging or drooping of your breasts. During your consultation, Dr. Brownlee will assess your breast tissue, skin elasticity, and overall anatomy to determine the best approach. If your nipples sit below the breast crease or you want your breasts to sit higher on your chest, a breast lift combined with breast augmentation can provide a more youthful, elevated appearance. Together, you and Dr. Brownlee will decide on the best plan to achieve your desired results.
Yes, this operation is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable and pain-free throughout the procedure. Dr. Brownlee and our anesthesia team prioritize your well-being, closely monitoring you throughout the breast augmentation surgery to ensure a smooth and safe experience.
Yes, it’s essential that a responsible adult stays with you for at least 24 hours following general anesthesia. Additionally, Dr. Brownlee and our team highly recommend having someone with you for several days post-procedure. This will help ensure you have the support you need as you begin your recovery, allowing you to rest and heal comfortably.
After your breast augmentation, you will wear a soft, supportive bra for the first 6 weeks. This will help support your new breast shape and aid in the healing process by minimizing movement and maintaining proper positioning. Dr. Brownlee advises against wearing push-up bras or bras with underwires and molded cups during this period to ensure that the implants settle appropriately. After the initial 6 weeks, you can wear any style of bra you prefer or even go braless, depending on your comfort and desired look.
The amount of time you’ll need to take off after your breast augmentation depends on the demands of your job. Most patients return to desk work about three days after surgery, once they are no longer taking prescription pain medication. However, if your work involves heavy lifting or strenuous activities, a longer break may be necessary. Dr. Brownlee will offer personalized recommendations based on your recovery progress and job requirements, ensuring a safe and appropriate return to your daily routine.
You can absolutely still get mammograms after having breast implants placed (in fact, Dr. Brownlee recommends it!). Inform your radiologist or technician about your implants before the breast imaging, as they may use special techniques or additional views to ensure a thorough examination. Regular mammograms remain a crucial part of your breast health routine, and your healthcare team will work with you to ensure effective monitoring.
Drains are not typically required after your breast augmentation. Dr. Brownlee’s advanced surgical techniques help prevent fluid buildup, making your recovery process smoother and more comfortable. This means you can focus on healing and enjoying your beautiful new look without the inconvenience of drains.
You won’t need to worry about suture removal after your breast augmentation surgery. Dr. Brownlee uses all dissolvable internal sutures, which your body naturally breaks down over time. This technique enhances your comfort and helps minimize scarring so that you can focus on your recovery and amazing results.
It is possible to experience variations in nipple sensation after a breast augmentation, with some patients reporting increased sensitivity, reduced sensitivity, or numbness. These effects are typically temporary and resolve on their own over several weeks to months as the nerves heal. However, some individuals may experience permanent alterations. Dr. Brownlee takes every precaution to preserve nipple sensation, ensuring your comfort and satisfaction with the results.
Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, and you may need to replace them in the future. Factors such as implant type, your body’s response, and complications can influence the lifespan of your implants. Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Brownlee will help monitor their condition, and she will advise you on when a replacement might be necessary. At Bombshelled Aesthetics, we aim to keep you well-informed about long-term care and maintenance.
The FDA recommends that patients with silicone gel implants have imaging to screen for silent rupture beginning five to six years after surgery, and every two to three years after that first screening.
Complications are rare but possible after breast augmentation surgery. The most common include:
- Changes in Sensation: You may have temporary or permanent changes in nipple or breast sensitivity.
- Implant Displacement: Implants may settle differently or shift in position, necessitating a revision.
- Infection: These are usually treatable with antibiotics but, in severe cases, may require implant removal.
- Capsular Contracture: Scar tissue around the implants can tighten, causing breast pain or an unnatural look and feel hard.
- Implant Rupture or Leakage: Saline implants deflate visibly, while silicone implant rupture may require ultrasound or MRI for detection.
Dr. Brownlee takes every precaution to minimize these risks and will provide you with detailed post-op care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Regular follow-up appointments are essential for monitoring your progress and addressing any concerns promptly.
Dr. Brownlee uses precise surgical techniques to ensure your breast augmentation scars are as discreet as possible. The incisions are typically made in inconspicuous areas such as under the breast fold or around the areola to minimize their visibility. With proper post-op care and scar management, most sites will fade significantly and become less noticeable over time. Dr. Brownlee and our team will provide you with comprehensive guidance on how to care for your scars to achieve the best possible results.
Although it is rare, breast implants can break. If a saline breast implant ruptures, it’s immediately noticeable as the breast will deflate and become asymmetric to the other side. Your body will safely absorb the saline. Silicone breast implants, on the other hand, can have “silent” ruptures where the cohesive gel stays within the implant shell, making it less obvious. Signs of a breast implant rupture include changes in breast shape, size, or discomfort. Regular breast imaging screenings, as recommended by Dr. Brownlee, help monitor implant integrity. If you suspect an implant rupture, contact Dr. Brownlee promptly for an evaluation and appropriate action.
It’s normal to feel tightness in your breasts after surgery as your skin and tissues adjust to the implants. Gentle movement and light activities are generally encouraged to promote circulation and prevent stiffness. However, it’s essential to follow Dr. Brownlee’s post-op guidelines and avoid heavy lifting until our team gives you the all-clear. If you have any questions during your recovery, reach out to us for guidance and reassurance. We’re here for you every step of the way!
