Full, round, voluptuous breasts an admired aspect of a feminine feature, but not every woman was born with perfect breasts. Breast augmentation is one of the most sought-after plastic surgery procedures performed in the USA, but the most critical point in a successful augmentation is the skills with which the surgery is performed. There is no substitute for experience and surgical skills when it comes to choosing a plastic surgeon for this procedure.
Know before you go.
Any woman who has considered augmenting her breasts should be well-informed before undergoing the procedure. Dr. Allen Gabriel is here to answer all of your questions and set your mind at ease so you can move forward with breast enhancement with confidence that the result will be as you envisioned.
What you should know about breast augmentation:
Each year, hundreds of thousands of women seek breast augmentation, but there is no one-size-fits-all way to perform this procedure – it must be a fully customized surgical procedure. If you feel your breasts are too small and you want to enhance size and projection, a breast augmentation, when performed correctly and with the latest surgical techniques, will greatly improve your quality of life.
The surgical skill, techniques, and artistry with which your breasts are enhanced is the most critical point in a successful breast augmentation. Choosing the right plastic surgeon is the most important factor in your happiness with your figure in the years ahead – never “price shop” for this surgery as a surprisingly low price may lead to results that require a revision, with another surgery to correct an error.

Whether you’re seeking a full enhancement or would like to lift and rejuvenate your breasts, Dr. Gabriel will custom-tailor your breast augmentation in Portland to match your personal vision for your figure.
Why breast augmentation?
Lovely, round breasts are associated with a feminine figure, and if you feel your breasts are too small, you may feel less confident. Breast augmentation can be performed either with breast implants or with natural fat transfer to create a more attractive look. In today’s world, there is no reason not to have the breasts you want. Our experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Gabriel can guide you through the process, and help you achieve the size, shape, and profile to suit your frame, perfectly balanced and looking fully natural.
Is breast augmentation safe?
Yes. While there are risks associated with any surgical procedure, the best way to minimize risks is to ensure your breast augmentation is performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon who has the experience, artistic eye, and technical skill for a successful outcome.
Dr. Gabriel is an award-winning plastic surgeon recognized for his ability to create beautiful, plump, natural-looking results. You can rest assured that by choosing him for your breast augmentation, you’re choosing a surgeon who employs the most advanced techniques. Although the risks are small, possible complications, particularly when performed poorly, can include:
- Capsular contracture
- Excessive scarring
- Bleeding
- Rupture or deflation
- Infection
- Changes in nipple sensation
- Need for revision surgery
How long will the results of my breast augmentation last?
Although there is no expiration date on breast implants, there is a chance that they will need to be changed at some time in the future. Saline or silicone implants have been shown to last as long as ten to 20 years. About 20 percent of women who receive implants will need to have them removed or replaced in eight to ten years. The choice to have breast augmentation involves regular examinations to ensure all is well.
How is today’s technology in breast augmentation different than in the past?
In the early days of breast augmentation, the philosophy was bigger is always better. This approach often produced results which were less than natural in appearance or led to complications. Newer surgical techniques have been developed that produce far superior results, such as submuscular placement for a smoother look and less likelihood of complications such as rippling or capsular contracture.
Dr. Gabriel’s goal is to achieve beautiful results that enhance your unique body shape. The latest generation of breast implants are safer than ever before, offered in a wide array of shapes, sizes, and levels of projection, filled with silicone gel that retains its shape for greater patient safety if an implant rupture occurs. Structured saline implants are an advancement that many women appreciate as an option.
