At Howland Plastic Surgery, Dr. Howland will focus on understanding your beauty goals and concerns.

Schedule an appointment at our Draper, UT practice so we can help you explore your options for breast augmentation.
How Is Breast Augmentation Performed?
Before breast augmentation surgery, Dr. Howland carefully plans decisions regarding the type of incision and the placement of the implant. The procedure involves making the selected incision and positioning the implant in its designated spot. The technique for implant placement can vary with options that include beneath the pectoral muscle or directly behind the breast tissue yet above the pectoral muscle. The choice of implant location is influenced by several factors, such as the desired size and type of enhancement, as well as Dr. Howland's professional judgment. Regardless of the incision site, efforts are made to ensure scars are discreetly concealed within the body's natural folds and lines. Dr. Howland will consider where to place the implant based on individual body shape, the dimensions of the implant, and personal lifestyle factors.

Dr Nick Howland was able to give me the trust I need it to go through a rough surgery for my body. I love the results i love the confidence it gave me back, his staff treated me like a queen. His incisions were perfect and you hardly can tell the incisions since it looks like a hair line. very impressive with his skills for sculpting. I totally will recommend him and use him again.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does breast augmentation cost?
Your cost for breast augmentation surgery will vary based on your choices and whether you are having any other surgeries. Dr. Howland can discuss estimated costs and financing when your treatment plan is made. It's essential to focus on quality over costs to ensure your results match your goals and last a long time.
Do I need a breast lift or augmentation?
Your plan may include breast augmentation, a breast lift, or both. Breast lift surgery removes loose skin and improves the breasts, while implants enhance the shape and size of the breasts. In your consultation with Dr. Howland, he will listen to your concerns and goals before explaining your best treatment options. A combination of augmentation and lift is often included in a mommy makeover to rejuvenate the breasts after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
Can I breastfeed with implants?
If you want to breastfeed after augmentation surgery, talk to Dr. Howland during your consultation. With the right surgical technique and placement, it's usually possible. Breastfeeding and pregnancy can alter your results, which is why it is best to wait until after you are done having children to have breast augmentation.
Can I have my implants removed?
You might decide that you want to replace or remove your implants. Should this happen, Dr. Howland offers breast revision surgery. During the revision surgery, your old implants will be either replaced with different implants or simply removed. If you want to have your implants removed, you might need to have excess skin removed because larger implants can stretch your skin. If you have any questions or concerns after your augmentation surgery, please schedule a consultation at Howland Plastic Surgery to learn more about your options.
Do implants cause breast cancer?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is still investigating a possible link between breast implants and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL). This is not breast cancer, but a cancer of the immune cells. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), breast implant-related ALCL is very rare, and if caught early, it is easy to treat. Dr. Howland encourages all patients with breast implants to get regular screenings for breast cancer. You should contact Howland Plastic Surgery for any concerns, like swelling or other visible changes.
