breast augmentation Houston TX

Natural-looking volume, surgically precise, built to last decades.
Dr. Rodriguez has performed breast augmentation surgery for Houston patients since 1990, developing a meticulous approach to implant selection, pocket placement, and long-term symmetry that comes only from three decades of hands-on surgical experience. Augmentation mammoplasty reshapes and enhances breast volume using saline or silicone implants, delivering results that are proportionate to your frame and aligned with your aesthetic goals. As a board-certified plastic surgeon, Dr. Rodriguez evaluates each patient individually, factoring in chest wall anatomy, existing breast tissue, and lifestyle before recommending a surgical plan. At Rodriguez Rejuvenation, no two augmentations are identical because no two patients are.

How it works

Recovery and Results

The first two weeks involve rest, a supportive surgical bra, and follow-up visits with Dr. Rodriguez to monitor healing and ensure optimal implant settling. Final results become clearly visible between three and six months as swelling resolves and the implants settle into their permanent position.
01

Personalized Consultation

Before your procedure date, Dr. Rodriguez finalizes your implant specifications and documents your surgical plan in detail. Pre-operative photographs are taken, and you receive written preparation instructions covering medications to avoid, fasting requirements, and what to arrange at home for your recovery.

Surgical Planning

Before your procedure date, Dr. Rodriguez finalizes your implant specifications and documents your surgical plan in detail. Pre-operative photographs are taken, and you receive written preparation instructions covering medications to avoid, fasting requirements, and what to arrange at home for your recovery.
03

Implant Placement

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility, typically lasting between one and a half to two and a half hours. Dr. Rodriguez creates a precise pocket, either submuscular or subglandular depending on your anatomy, and positions the implant with attention to symmetry, natural drape, and long-term stability.

Ideal candidate

Breast Augmentation may be a good fit if you

  • Have naturally small breasts or lost significant volume after pregnancy or weight loss
  • Present with noticeable asymmetry between breasts and want a more balanced appearance
  • Are in good general health, a non-smoker or willing to quit at least six weeks before surgery
  • Have realistic expectations about implant size relative to your chest width and existing tissue coverage
  • Are at a stable body weight and not planning pregnancy in the near term, which affects long-term outcomes
Candidacy is confirmed during an in-person consultation with Dr. Rodriguez.
What to expect

Before, during, and after

Before
For two weeks prior to surgery, you must stop taking aspirin, ibuprofen, blood thinners, and any herbal supplements that increase bleeding risk, including fish oil, vitamin E, and St. John’s Wort. Smoking must be stopped at least six weeks before your procedure date, as nicotine significantly impairs tissue healing and increases complication risk. You will fast from food and liquids after midnight the night before surgery and arrange for a responsible adult to drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours.
During
You will be fully asleep under general anesthesia administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist throughout the procedure. Dr. Rodriguez makes the incision, typically in the inframammary fold or around the areola depending on your plan, creates the implant pocket with precision, and places the implant under or over the pectoral muscle based on your anatomy and the profile selected during consultation. The entire procedure typically takes between one and a half and two and a half hours, after which you will recover briefly in a monitored post-anesthesia suite before being discharged.
After
Expect tightness, swelling, and soreness across your chest for the first several days, which is normal and managed with prescribed pain medication. You will leave wearing a surgical support bra, and your chest will feel firm and sit high initially as the implants have not yet settled. Dr. Rodriguez will see you within the first week to check incisions, assess swelling, and answer any questions about your recovery progress.
Recovery

What the first weeks may look like

●
Days 1 to 3
Swelling and tightness peak during the first 72 hours, and most patients manage discomfort well with oral pain medication. Rest is essential, and you should keep your upper body slightly elevated when lying down to reduce swelling.
●
Week 1 to 2
Dr. Rodriguez will remove any external sutures or check dissolvable sutures at your follow-up visit during this window. Most patients resume light, sedentary work by day seven to ten, though lifting anything over five pounds remains off-limits.
●
Weeks 3 to 6
Implants begin to settle and soften noticeably during this phase, and the breast profile starts to look more natural as swelling continues to decrease. Light exercise such as walking is typically cleared by week three, with more strenuous activity evaluated on a case-by-case basis around week six.
●
Months 2 to 6
Final implant position is established by around three months, and incision scars continue to fade and flatten through the six-month mark. Dr. Rodriguez schedules a follow-up at this stage to document your results and ensure everything has healed as expected.

Frequently Asked Questions about Breast Augmentation

Clear answers to common questions before your consultation.
How much does breast augmentation cost in Houston?
The total cost of breast augmentation at Rodriguez Rejuvenation varies based on implant type, surgical complexity, and anesthesia fees, and is reviewed in full during your consultation so there are no surprises. Financing options are available through third-party providers for patients who prefer to spread the cost over time. Dr. Rodriguez does not compromise on implant quality or surgical standards based on budget, and his team will help you understand every line item before you commit.
Your implants will look and feel significantly different at one month than they will at six months, as settling and swelling resolution take time. Most patients see a clear representation of their final shape by the three-month mark, with the last refinements in softness and position occurring through month six. Patience through this process pays off in results that look natural and proportionate to your frame.
All surgical procedures carry risk, and breast augmentation is no exception. The most common risks include capsular contracture, implant malposition, changes in nipple sensation, and the possibility of revision surgery over time. Dr. Rodriguez discusses your individual risk profile in detail during your consultation, and his 30 years of experience in breast surgery inform every decision made to minimize those risks from the start.
The goal of every augmentation Dr. Rodriguez performs is proportion and projection that fits your frame, not an overdone look that draws attention to itself. Implant selection, pocket placement, and your existing tissue all contribute to how natural the result appears. Patients who provide clear, realistic goals during consultation consistently achieve outcomes they are proud to show off and comfortable keeping private.
Breast augmentation at Rodriguez Rejuvenation is performed under general anesthesia administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist, which ensures your safety, comfort, and surgical precision throughout the procedure. Unlike some procedures Dr. Rodriguez performs under local anesthesia, implant surgery requires a level of muscle relaxation and patient stillness that general anesthesia provides most reliably. Your anesthesia consultation is part of the pre-operative process and gives you another opportunity to address any concerns you have.
Modern silicone and saline implants are not lifetime devices, but they are designed to be durable, and many patients go ten to twenty years or longer without needing revision. Replacement is not required on a fixed schedule but is indicated if you experience capsular contracture, implant rupture, or a significant change in your aesthetic goals. Dr. Rodriguez will monitor your implants at routine follow-ups and advise you if and when revision becomes appropriate.
If you are ready to learn whether breast augmentation is the right procedure for your body and goals, the best next step is a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Rodriguez. He takes the time to listen, evaluate your anatomy carefully, and give you a surgical plan that is built around you, not a template.
