Aesthetic concern
Breast volume.
Whether you have always wanted more fullness or are restoring what pregnancy and weight changes took away, the right result is the one that suits your frame — not the largest one.

Overview
Fullness that fits.
Loss or lack of upper-breast fullness is one of the most common reasons patients come in. Pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight fluctuation can deflate the breast, while others simply want more proportion than they were born with.
Dr. Kirwan plans volume around your chest width, tissue, and lifestyle, reviewing implant type and placement or fat transfer, and uses photographs of his own patients to show what is realistic for your anatomy.

Treatment options
Two ways to restore it.
Breast augmentation
Implants or, in select cases, your own fat add size and improve shape and symmetry, planned around your frame and goals.
Procedure detailBreast lift with augmentation
When volume loss comes with sagging, combining a lift restores both position and upper-pole fullness.
Procedure detailFat injections
Fat transfer can add modest, natural fullness or refine contour for the right candidate.

Questions
Common questions.
How do I choose the right size?
Sizing is based on your chest measurements, tissue, and the look you want in and out of clothing. Dr. Kirwan uses sizers and imaging so you decide with realistic expectations.
Implants or my own fat?
Implants give reliable, predictable volume; fat transfer adds a more limited, natural increase. The right choice depends on your anatomy and goals, which is decided together.
Will I need a lift too?
Only if the breasts have descended. If the nipple sits below the crease, adding a lift gives a better shape than volume alone.
Can I still breastfeed later?
Many patients can, depending on technique and incision. It is an important point to raise so the plan protects that priority.
Next step
Find your proportion.
A consultation with sizing and imaging lets you see fullness on your own frame before you commit to anything.
