Your Breast Augmentation Procedure
On the day of your breast augmentation in Houston, TX, you can expect several steps:
“I’m not settling for basic, standard results. The idea of mediocre, standard, or average - I push way past that. I don’t accept the bare minimum.” Dr. Linville
Who is a candidate for breast augmentation?
The best candidates for breast augmentation surgery are patients who have realistic expectations, understand the procedure, are in good health, and don’t smoke. Dr. Linville will also consider your medical history before proceeding.
How can I prepare for surgery?
Before your breast augmentation surgery, you will need to stop smoking and avoid certain medications that could interfere with the procedure. You should also arrange transportation to and from the surgical center, as you cannot drive yourself afterward. On the day of surgery, arrive on time in comfortable clothing with no jewelry or makeup.
When will I see results?
Your results will be apparent immediately after your surgery. However, final results may take several months as your implants settle. Every patient’s body is different and recovery times vary, but you can quicken your recovery by resting and following all post-op instructions.
What is the recovery like?
You may experience some soreness and swelling in the breasts during the recovery process, which can typically take a couple of weeks. We may recommend taking up to two weeks off from work and routine activities, but many patients with desk jobs can return to work in a few days. You’ll be advised to wear a support bra for comfort and avoid any strenuous activities that could cause irritation. Carefully follow your surgeon’s instructions and attend all follow-up appointments.
Can I combine breast augmentation with another procedure?
Yes, combining breast augmentation with other procedures can provide optimal results. The most common combination is a breast lift with augmentation, which enhances the size and shape of the breasts as well as their position. Other common procedures include areola reduction, liposuction, tummy tuck surgery, and buttock augmentation.
“I feel like a brand-new person.”
“Dr. Linville performed explant of my implants that were in place for 26 years! Mastopexy and lift were also performed. Without a doubt, he is the best surgeon you will find for your plastic surgery needs. Several family members have had different procedures and we all sing his praises. I feel like a brand new person and will forever be eternally grateful to Dr. Linville.”

We Offer Breast Revision Surgery
If you’ve already received a breast augmentation procedure somewhere else, and are dissatisfied with the results, Dr. Linville can perform a revision procedure. He performs revisions often and patients commonly report that they’re happy with their results.
Dr. Linville also excels at performing breast reconstruction surgery – a notoriously difficult type of breast surgery that demonstrates his expertise. In fact, breast reconstruction surgery makes up 50% of our practice. Dr. Linville uses nipple-sparing techniques and microsurgery for results that look and feel natural. He can use implants or your own tissue to achieve the look you desire.
