Whether you want to add volume, correct asymmetry, or restore fullness after pregnancy, breast augmentation can help you feel confident and proportionate. Dr. Abby Culver is a board-certified plastic surgeon in Dallas who creates individualized surgical plans designed around each patient’s anatomy, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle. Her approach blends meticulous precision with a focus on natural-looking results, patient comfort, and trust at every stage of the process.
Dr. Culver brings a combination of academic training, clinical precision, and a patient-centered philosophy that sets the foundation for every procedure she performs. She completed a six-year integrated plastic surgery residency at UT Southwestern and served as faculty at the same institution, training the next generation of surgeons. Her credentials reflect a career built on expertise, research, and continued involvement in advancing the field of aesthetic plastic surgery.
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances breast size, shape, and symmetry using implants or fat transfer. Dr. Culver offers saline implants, silicone gel implants, and cohesive silicone implants (often called gummy bear implants), each with distinct advantages in feel, shape retention, and profile. She also performs fat transfer breast augmentation for patients who prefer an implant-free approach.
During your consultation, Dr. Culver evaluates your breast tissue, chest wall anatomy, and aesthetic goals to recommend the implant type, size, incision placement, and positioning that complement your frame. Implants can be placed above or below the chest muscle, and incision sites are selected to minimize visible scarring.
Breast augmentation increases breast size to create balance with your natural body frame. Patients who feel their breasts are undersized or disproportionate often see a significant improvement in how clothing fits and how they carry themselves.
Pregnancy, breastfeeding, aging, and weight fluctuation can reduce breast volume and alter shape. Augmentation restores that lost fullness and helps patients feel like themselves again.
Most women have some degree of natural asymmetry. Dr. Culver addresses size and shape differences between breasts by selecting implant specifications individually for each side.
With multiple implant types, profiles, sizes, and placement options available, every surgical plan is built around your specific anatomy and goals. Fat transfer is also an option for patients seeking a more subtle enhancement without implants.

Candidacy for breast augmentation depends on your health, anatomy, and goals. Dr. Culver evaluates each patient individually during a consultation to determine whether augmentation is the right path.
Some patients come to Dr. Culver after pregnancy and breastfeeding changed their breast volume. Others have always felt their size didn’t match their frame. Revision patients seek a second procedure when a previous augmentation no longer meets their needs. Each situation calls for a different surgical approach, which is why every plan starts with your anatomy and your goals.
Individual results vary based on healing characteristics, lifestyle factors, and body composition.
Your journey begins with a thorough evaluation of your breast tissue, chest wall anatomy, and body proportions. Dr. Culver reviews your goals, discusses implant options, and recommends a surgical plan built around your anatomy, including incision placement and implant positioning.
Dr. Culver places your chosen implants using precise technique to optimize symmetry, shape, and comfort. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility, and most patients return home the same day.
Most patients return to light daily activities within one to two weeks and resume exercise after four to six weeks. Swelling and mild bruising are normal in the first several days and gradually subside. Final results typically develop over three to six months as implants settle into their natural position.
Dr. Culver takes time during each consultation to understand your goals, answer your questions honestly, and walk you through every decision from implant selection to recovery planning. She evaluates your anatomy, discusses what realistic outcomes look like for your body, and builds a surgical approach around those specifics. That level of attention carries through from your first visit to your final follow-up.
Breast augmentation with Dr. Culver typically costs around $8,500, including surgeon fees, anesthesia, and facility charges. Final pricing depends on implant type, surgical technique, and individual factors. Dr. Culver reviews a detailed cost breakdown during your consultation so there are no surprises.
The three main types are saline implants, silicone gel implants, and cohesive silicone implants (gummy bear implants). Saline implants use sterile salt water and allow adjustable fill. Silicone implants feel more like natural breast tissue. Cohesive silicone implants hold their shape and do not leak if the shell is compromised.
Most patients return to light activities within one to two weeks and resume full exercise in four to six weeks. Temporary swelling, mild bruising, and moderate soreness are common during early recovery. Dr. Culver provides post-operative care instructions tailored to your procedure and monitors healing at follow-up visits.
Yes. Breast augmentation is frequently combined with a breast lift to address both volume and sagging, or included as part of a mommy makeover alongside tummy tuck and liposuction. Dr. Culver evaluates whether combination surgery is appropriate based on your health, goals, and expected recovery timeline.
Breast augmentation carries risks including capsular contracture, implant rupture, infection, changes in nipple sensation, and asymmetry. Some patients may require additional surgery in the future. Dr. Culver discusses all potential risks during your consultation so you can make a fully informed decision.
Fat transfer breast augmentation with Dr. Culver generally averages around $9,000. Pricing varies based on the volume of fat transferred, liposuction donor areas, and individual treatment complexity. This approach uses your own body fat to enhance breast size naturally, offering an implant-free alternative for eligible candidates.
