Breast Augmentation in Maryland
MARYLAND BREAST ENHANCEMENT & LIFTS
Discover the Benefits of Breast Augmentation with Today’s Advanced Procedures
What Is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that increases breast volume and enhances symmetry. This is accomplished by placing a saline or silicone implant behind the breast to improve fullness, shape, and overall proportion.
It’s important to know that the procedure is different from a breast lift (mastopexy):
- Breast augmentation adds volume and improves projection.
- A breast lift elevates and reshapes sagging tissue without increasing size.
ProfileMD offers breast augmentation in Maryland that is fully customized to your anatomy, goals, and aesthetic preferences, helping you achieve the look you desire.
During your consultation, our surgeons evaluate skin elasticity, your natural breast shape, and your desired outcome to determine the right implant type, size, and placement. The goal is to create results that feel natural to your body while enhancing balance, fullness, and long-term confidence.
Why Women Choose Breast Augmentation
Many women choose breast implants in Maryland to achieve their personal aesthetic goals or restore confidence after certain life changes.
Common motivations include:
- Restoring fullness after pregnancy or breastfeeding
- Improving symmetry when one breast is naturally smaller
- Enhancing body proportions for a more balanced silhouette
- Addressing changes due to aging or weight fluctuation
- Boosting confidence in clothing, swimwear, and daily life
At ProfileMD, we guide all patients through a supportive, personalized experience. Our board-certified doctors tailor results to your body proportions and personal goals for a natural, enhanced look.
Types of Breast Enhancements and Implants
If you’re considering breast augmentation in Maryland, you have several options to attain the look you want. Our experienced surgeons will help you select the implant that best suits your body, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals for a balanced result.
We offer saline and silicone implants, both FDA-cleared and safely placed by our certified doctors.
Saline Implants
- Filled with sterile solution
- Provide a firmer feel
- Rupture is immediately noticeable
- FDA-cleared for patients age 18 and older
- Often allows for slightly smaller incisions
Silicone Implants
- Filled with soft silicone gel
- Known for a natural, breast-like texture
- Rupture is less visible (“silent rupture”)
- FDA-cleared for patients aged 22 and older
- Less likely to wrinkle or ripple
- Popular for their smooth, natural feel
Most patients choose silicone for its soft, natural texture, but the best option depends on your individual anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. During your consultation, your surgeon will review all options to help you make a confident, informed decision.
The Breast Enhancement Procedure
Profile MD’s double board-certified surgeons proudly serve clients in a sterile, state-of-the-art surgical suite located in Severna Park, Maryland. Breast augmentation procedures start with a consultation, during which we determine the best path to natural results. Throughout the process, we prioritize your comfort and safety.
Here’s what you can expect:
Pre-Operative Consultation
Your Baltimore breast augmentation begins with a personalized consultation, where your surgeon reviews your medical history, breast anatomy, and aesthetic goals. Using 3D imaging, we explore implant size, type, and placement to find what’s right for you.
Surgical Process
The procedure is performed under anesthesia in ProfileMD’s accredited surgical facility. Once you are comfortably sedated, your surgeon will make a small incision in one of several common locations:
- Inframammary: In the crease beneath the breast
- Periareolar: Around the edge of the areola
- Transaxillary: Within the natural fold of the underarm
The choice of incision depends on implant type, anatomy, and patient preference. Implants may be placed under the chest muscle (submuscular) or directly behind breast tissue (subglandular).
- Submuscular placement can provide a more natural slope and may reduce the chance of visible implant edges.
- Subglandular placement can offer shorter recovery times depending on individual anatomy.
Our surgeons follow meticulous techniques to minimize scarring and promote natural-looking, long-lasting results.
Recovery and Aftercare
Most patients can return to light daily activities within one to two weeks, with full recovery expected over four to six weeks. During this time, you may experience mild soreness, swelling, or tightness as the body adjusts.
Your ProfileMD team will provide detailed instructions on caring for your incisions, managing discomfort, and avoiding strenuous activities until healing progresses. Many patients also elect for scar removal treatments.

Breast Enhancement Surgery FAQs
Most implants last 10 years or longer. They are not lifetime devices; a replacement is usually needed only if complications occur or a patient wants a different size or style. Regular follow-ups help monitor implant condition.
Many women can still breastfeed after augmentation, especially when implants are placed beneath the chest muscle. Results vary based on anatomy and incision type, so discuss future pregnancy plans with your surgeon.
Prior to any breast surgery a detailed medical history is taken, especially with regard to family and personal breast cancer history. If indicated, recent mammogram reports are reviewed and each patient receives a breast exam. Patients will then discuss the various options regarding size and type of implant they would like.
Typical operating time depends on the method used to place the implant, but usually it is 2 hours in length.
An implant increases breast size. It does not prevent age related sagging.
Yes. Saline and silicone implants are both FDA-cleared and widely used. Your surgeon will review risks, benefits, and safety to ensure you feel informed and confident.
Patients are given prescriptions for oral pain medication, as well as a muscle relaxant. Patients typically return to work between 7-10 days after surgery. Because the implants are usually placed under the chest muscle, upper body exercise should be avoided for at least one month. Walking and lower body exercise may be started sooner at the discretion of your surgeon.
Fortunately, implant rupture or leak seldom happens. In the case of saline implants, a leak is noticed immediately as the implant completely deflates. In the case of silicone, a rupture may be difficult to detect. Because of this, individuals opting for silicone implants are encouraged to have an MRI of the breasts every 2-3 years to confirm the integrity of the implant.
