Breast Augmentation
in Denver, CO
in Denver, CO
Breast augmentation isn’t just about going bigger. It’s about making things feel right—visually, physically, and sometimes emotionally. For a lot of people, that means fixing asymmetry they’ve always been self-conscious about. For others, it’s restoring what changed after kids, weight loss, or time.
Whatever brings you here, you’re not looking for someone to sell you on surgery. You want information that actually helps you make a decision.
This page covers what breast augmentation involves, what it can (and can’t) do, and how the process works at BEAUTY by BUFORD in Denver. From implant types to recovery timelines, we’ve laid out what matters, without the filler. So if you’re ready for answers that treat you like a person, not a patient file, keep going.

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size, shape, and volume using implants or your own fat. It can be performed for cosmetic reasons, such as achieving a more proportional body shape, or for reconstructive reasons after breast cancer, weight loss, or birth defect correction.
At BEAUTY by BUFORD, no two breast enhancement procedures are alike. Your treatment plan is developed through a thorough examination of your breast tissue, breast measurements, body type, and desired outcome. We’ll talk about everything from implant size and shape to how it all fits with your natural contour.
There’s no single reason—and no “right” one, either. Breast augmentation isn’t just about changing how you look. It’s often about aligning how you feel with what you see in the mirror.
Here are some of the most common motivations we hear from patients at our Denver office:
What matters most isn’t the reason you’re considering it—it’s that the plan matches your body and your goals. That’s what we’re here to help with.
Soft, natural feel. FDA-approved for patients 22 and older. Less visible rippling than saline.
Filled with sterile saltwater after insertion. FDA-approved for patients 18 and older. Volume can be adjusted during surgery.
Cohesive silicone gel holds its shape—even when cut. Often chosen for a teardrop or anatomical shape and long-lasting results.
For patients who want a subtler option, using their own fat harvested from areas like the abdomen or thighs. Great for correcting minor asymmetries or refining results from a previous augmentation.
Breast augmentation can enhance more than your silhouette—it can change how you see yourself in the mirror.
Common Benefits:
Breast augmentation surgery may be right for you if:
It’s also a common solution for many women who experience loss of volume or sagging due to excess skin or fat after weight fluctuations.
Not all plastic surgery patients need both. If you’re primarily concerned with size or volume, augmentation may be enough. But if your breasts sag significantly due to excess skin, you may need a lift, too.
Dr. Buford will help you determine if a combination breast lift and augmentation is appropriate during your consultation.
This is a no-pressure, informative visit where we:
We’ll also talk about recovery, post-operative instructions, and what to expect long term, including issues like implant rupture, capsular contracture, or the possibility of future revision surgery.
Performed on an outpatient basis, this surgery typically lasts 60 to 90 minutes under general anesthesia. Dr. Buford uses a refined, minimally traumatic approach to reduce bleeding, preserve nipple sensation, and shorten the recovery process.
Most women report that they feel back to themselves within a few weeks. Dr. Buford provides detailed wound care instructions, monitors healing closely, and offers non-surgical treatments like laser treatments to improve scar appearance.
Breast implants are not lifetime devices. You may eventually need a revision for:
Regular follow-ups with your board-certified plastic surgeon are essential to monitor implant integrity and overall breast health.
Cost depends on your implant type, your surgical plan, and the experience of your plastic surgeon. In Denver, breast augmentation typically ranges widely, but it’s important to focus on value, not just price. At BEAUTY by BUFORD, we offer transparent pricing and several financing options (PatientFi, CareCredit, Alphaeon Credit, Prosper Healthcare Lending, Key Bank, and YesDoctor). Keep in mind: unless breast augmentation is part of reconstruction after breast cancer, it’s considered elective and won’t be covered by insurance.

Our office in Lone Tree serves patients from all over the Denver metro area and beyond. Let’s talk about what’s possible.
Most implants last 10–20 years, but some patients choose to replace them sooner.
Yes. Many patients combine it with a breast lift or a tummy tuck as part of a Mommy Makeover.
You may notice changes in size or shape. Silicone ruptures are typically silent. Imaging and revision surgery can address this.
With the right implant type and placement, most patients say their results look and feel very natural.
We can explore breast reduction or other treatment options depending on your goals and symptoms like physical discomfort.
Profile and size matter just as much. The profile refers to how far the implant projects from your chest wall, and the size is its actual volume. Both affect your final look—and the right choice depends on your frame, chest width, and the overall proportions you’re going for. Dr. Buford will walk you through options that enhance—not overwhelm—your natural shape.

There’s no set expiration date. While many patients keep their implants for 10–20 years without issue, they aren’t considered lifelong devices. You may want (or need) a revision over time due to natural aging, lifestyle changes, or personal preference. Regular check-ins with your surgeon can help monitor things like implant integrity or capsular contracture.
Yes, but it depends on the technique used. Most patients can still breastfeed after breast augmentation, especially when implants are placed under the muscle. Mammograms are still effective, though they may require additional views. Just let your technician know ahead of time. It’s also worth discussing with Dr. Buford and your primary physician during your consultation—especially if you have a family history of breast cancer.
