Appleby Plastic Surgery team includes the region’s foremost expert on breast implants and sought-after breast reconstruction surgeons. Our surgeons are experts in repeat “revision” implant cases. Our goal is to help you navigate the implant types, sizes, and placement to ensure we achieve the aesthetic result you are envisioning. We are transparent with the process. We have a long, exceptional track record with breast augmentation.
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in Canada, offering patients the ability to enhance their breast size, shape, and symmetry using saline or silicone implants. Women may feel their breast size is too small, have a loss in breast volume after pregnancy, or have breasts have not developed correctly. Patients may also want to correct or improve the results of existing breast implants.

Breast implant surgery involves placing silicone or saline implants either behind the breast tissue or beneath the pec muscle. Your surgeon will guide you through key decisions to create the most harmonious outcome for your body and goals.
If your breasts sag or if you have issues with skin tone like stretch marks, you may need additional help to get the results you want. For example, you might choose breast lift surgery.

Who performs breast augmentation and implant surgery at Appleby Plastic Surgery?
Augmentation adds volume using implants. A lift repositions breast tissue that has dropped, without changing size. Many patients benefit from both together, which we'll discuss if it applies to you.
Yes. Implant removal can be performed on its own, with a total capsulectomy when indicated, with implant replacement, or combined with a breast lift. Your consultation covers which approach fits your situation and what your results are likely to look like afterward.
Do you perform breast implant removal?
Cost varies based on implant type, size, and whether the procedure includes a lift or other combined work. We provide a detailed quote after your consultation, once your surgical plan is set.
Will it affect breastfeeding or mammograms?
Yes. The chance of developing implant-related complications increases over time. Some complications will require more surgery. Breast Implants may be associated with systemic symptoms. Some changes that occur after an implant surgery cannot be reversed. If you decide to remove the breast implants later, you may not like how your breasts look. Choosing very large implants may cause specific problems.

Yes. Many patients combine breast augmentation with a Breast Lift, Tummy Tuck, or full Mommy Makeover.
Can I combine this with other procedures? Are there non-surgical alternatives?
Most patients can breastfeed after implants. Mammograms may require special views, which we’ll discuss during your consultation.
Will it affect breastfeeding or mammograms?
Implants are not lifetime devices. Many patients replace them after 10 to 15 years, or sooner if concerns arise. We perform implant removal and replacement.
How long do breast implants last?
Most incisions are placed in the breast fold and are well hidden. Scars typically fade significantly over time.
