Breast Augmentation Toronto

Certifications and Credentials

Are you dissatisfied with your breasts?

Perhaps they are not as firm as they once were? Do you wish they were larger, fuller, or more symmetrical? Or maybe you need to replace your implants?

Breast size, shape and proportion play a unique role in every woman’s self-perception, sense of physical balance, femininity, and confidence. Breast augmentation in Vaughan is so much more than simply “enlarging” the breasts—it is realized through the profound consideration of each individual’s desires, inherent anatomical forms, and meticulous attention to the techniques and safety of the implants’ integration.

Every woman’s body is beautiful. A boob job in Toronto can help enhance your figure. With the skill and guidance of Dr. Chad Wu, you can improve the size, shape, symmetry, and proportion of your breasts subtly, dramatically, or somewhere in between, as determined by your needs and goals.

Here’s What We Can Do For You

Breast augmentation is a solution that can improve breast fullness, projection, shape, and balance to restore a more attractive figure and positive self-image. Dr. Chad Wu offers the latest technologies in breast augmentation. These procedures leave minimal scarring and provide the fastest recovery times.

The two main types of implants are those filled with saline, and those filled with silicone.

SALINE BREAST IMPLANTS

The silicone casing contains saline water and is filled as desired. It gives breasts a natural appearance and feel.

SILICONE GEL IMPLANTS

This type of implant is a silicone casing filled with silicone gel. The newer models are of better quality and much more durable than the old models.

Both implants have their advantages and disadvantages, which Dr. Wu can go over with you in greater detail during your consultation.

Your breast implant profile is based on the base width and forward projection of the implant.

HIGH PROFILE

Narrow base width
High forward projection
Better for individuals with a narrow chest wall and a lot of natural breast tissue
May produce more of a “push-up bra” look

MODERATE PROFILE

Moderate profile
Moderate base width
Moderate forward projection

LOW PROFILE

Widest base width
Lowest forward projection
Better for individuals with a wide chest wall, wide breast placement, or thin breast tissue
May produce more natural-looking results

Your breast implants may be uniformly round or anatomically shaped (sometimes called “teardrop implants”).

ROUND

Uniform roundness throughout the implant
No cosmetic issue if the implant rotates after insertion
Best for most breast augmentation procedures

Teardrop-shaped silicone breast implant with textured surface shown at angle

ANATOMICAL

Fuller at the bottom and flatter at the top, like the natural breast shape
May create a more naturalappearance
May correct breast shape for those in need of shaping

Dr. Chad Wu offers personalized implant sizing

Your breast implant size will be measured in cubic centimeters (cc’s). If your breasts have noticeable asymmetry, implants of different sizes can be used to achieve breast symmetry.

Dr. Chad Wu will help patients accurately choose their implant size.

Breast Augmentation FAQ’s

WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SALINE AND SILICONE BREAST IMPLANTS?

Saline vs silicone implants: Both use implant shells made of silicone. Saline implants are filled with sterile saline solution at the time of surgery, where the surgeon determines the final fill volume. Silicone gel implants are filled with silicone gel by the manufacturer, and they come in a variety of sizes and profiles.

Silicone implants require a slightly larger incision for insertion, but benefits include a more natural look and feel. Patients tend to see and feel the edge of a saline implant.

It’s very important that you discuss all this during your breast augmentation consultation.

HOW DO I CHOOSE IMPLANT SIZE, SHAPE, AND PROFILE?

Your implant size and profile will depend on your body and personal preferences. Depending on how narrow or wide your chest wall is, you can choose a low, moderate, or high profile. Most augmentation procedures use round implants, but if your breast shape needs correction, anatomically shaped ones can be considered. Again, the size will be determined by your vision.

WHAT IS RECOVERY LIKE AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION IN MAPLE?

The surgery is a day surgery, and you will go home the same day. Plan for a close friend or family member to take you home. Ensure that your transportation and basic support are in place before you go in for the downtown Toronto breast augmentation so you can just focus on recovery with zero stress.

CAN BREAST AUGMENTATION CORRECT ASYMMETRY OR VOLUME LOSS AFTER PREGNANCY?

Yes, breast augmentation can help correct both issues. If there is a significant difference in size between both breasts, implants of different sizes can be used to achieve symmetry. Similarly, if you notice loss of volume in your breasts, either post-pregnancy or due to weight loss, breast augmentation in Toronto can restore this lost volume.

ARE MASSAGES REQUIRED AFTER BREAST AUGMENTATION IN YORKVILLE OR OTHER PARTS OF TORONTO?

It varies from case to case. During the post-operative visit about a week after the surgery, Dr. Chad Wu will recommend breast massages. It may help to relax tight muscles or improve asymmetry, where one breast sits higher than the other.

WHEN CAN I WEAR AN UNDERWIRE BRA?

After breast augmentation surgery (silicone or saline implants), patients must wear a special surgical or sports bra, for the first 6 weeks. From 6-12 weeks, a non-underwire bra is recommended, and after 3 months, any kind of bra can be worn.

HOW LONG DO BREAST IMPLANTS TYPICALLY LAST?

Breast implants are designed to last long. In many cases, they remain in good condition for 10 to 20+ years. The life of your implants depends on your body, lifestyle, and how you take care of them.

Complications like implant rupture or rippling, breast sagging, etc., require you to change your implants. Proper care of your implants can help increase their longevity. Make sure to do regular follow-ups to monitor the condition of your implants.

ARE SILICONE GEL BREAST IMPLANTS SAFE?

Yes, they are. Silicone breast implants have been in use since the 1960s, long before saline breast implants arrived in the 1990s. They’re even known to have lower overall complication rates than their saline counterparts.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT OPTIONS AND PROS AND CONS FOR BREAST IMPLANTS?

Breast implants are placed either below the breast, above or below the pectoralis major muscle. With more skin, natural breast and muscle tissue above the implant, the implant is better hidden and pushes natural tissue to the forefront.

WHAT IS CAPSULAR CONTRACTURE WITH A BREAST IMPLANT?

Capsular contracture happens when the scar tissue (called capsule) around the implant shrinks and tightens, which can distort the implant (silicone or saline) and cause discomfort. Development of a thin and soft capsule is normal. It’s when it shrinks or tightens that it becomes a problem.

Capsular contracture occurs in only about 5% of cases, requiring corrective surgery. The capsule usually forms 6-8 weeks after the surgery, and if there is an issue, most patients notice it in the first year, although it could appear later.

WHAT CUP SIZE ARE THE IMPLANTS?

Implants are measured in volume and not cup size. They’re selected based on your body and goals. During the consultation, sizers are used to simulate how different sizes may look on you.

IS IT SAFE TO BREASTFEED WITH IMPLANTS IN PLACE?

Yes, it is. Breast augmentation alone does not significantly affect the ability to breastfeed. Placement of the implant (inframammary: where the breast and chest meet) makes a big difference. Breast reduction or breast lift are likely to affect breastfeeding ability.
