Your Breast Augmentation Journey with Henry WIlson, MD
Your breast augmentation journey begins with a private consultation at Lake Norman Plastic Surgery in Huntersville. Dr. Wilson will perform a physical evaluation, discuss your desired size and shape, and help you select the implant type, profile, and incision location that best match your goals. You’ll have the opportunity to review before-and-after photos and ask questions about recovery, cost, and what to expect from your results.
Choosing the right implant is essential to achieving a result that feels natural and balanced. Dr. Wilson offers both silicone and saline implants in a variety of profiles and sizes. He works closely with each patient to determine the ideal combination based on chest width, tissue characteristics, and aesthetic preferences. The goal is always to enhance—not overpower—your natural proportions.
The incision location and implant placement are carefully planned based on each patient’s anatomy, goals, and chosen implant type.
Dr. Wilson will discuss these options with you in detail during your consultation to determine which approach will yield the most natural, aesthetically balanced result.
Subfascial breast augmentation is a specialized implant placement technique in which the implant is positioned beneath the thin layer of fascia that covers the chest muscle, but above the muscle itself. This approach provides additional soft-tissue support compared to placement directly over the muscle, while avoiding the animation deformity sometimes associated with submuscular placement.
For carefully selected patients (particularly those with adequate natural breast tissue), subfascial placement can provide a smooth, natural contour with less postoperative discomfort and a shorter recovery period. During your consultation, Dr. Wilson will determine whether this technique aligns with your anatomy and aesthetic goals, ensuring a result that looks balanced and feels natural.
Your breast augmentation will be performed at an accredited surgical facility in Huntersville, where Dr. Wilson maintains privileges. Anesthesia is administered and overseen by board-certified physician anesthesiologists to ensure your comfort and safety. Dr. Wilson makes small, discreet incisions—typically in the inframammary fold or along the areola—before creating a precise pocket for the implant. Once positioned, the incisions are meticulously closed to support proper healing and minimal scarring.
Your Guide to Post-Breast Augmentation Care
Most patients return home the same day as surgery. Some swelling, tightness, or mild discomfort is normal during the first week, but this improves steadily. Light activities can typically resume within a few days, with full exercise cleared after three to four weeks. Dr. Wilson and his team will closely monitor your healing during follow-up visits to ensure optimal recovery.
The cost of breast augmentation in Huntersville, Lake Norman, and the greater Charlotte area varies depending on implant type, complexity, and whether other procedures are performed at the same time. During your consultation, Dr. Wilson will provide a personalized quote that includes all surgical, anesthesia, and facility fees. Financing options are available to make your procedure more manageable.
