Breast Augmentation
Dr. Daniel Demsey designs your breast augmentation to fit your life as comfortably as it fits your body. Whether your goal is to restore volume after pregnancy, correct asymmetry, or achieve the fuller breast contours you’ve always wanted, Demsey Plastic Surgery delivers individualized results grounded in surgical expertise.
Dr. Demsey welcomes breast augmentation patients from Calgary and across Alberta, including Edmonton, Red Deer, and Lethbridge.
What Is Breast Augmentation?
Augmentation mammaplasty, or breast augmentation, is a cosmetic procedure performed to create larger, shapelier, more symmetrical breasts. Dr. Demsey offers both traditional breast augmentation with implants and ‘natural’ breast augmentation with fat transfer.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
The best breast augmentation patients are in good health, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and at a stable weight with no immediate plans to grow their families. Dr. Demsey typically helps patients seeking these breast augmentation benefits:
- Regain a fuller, more youthful shape after pregnancy, nursing, or significant weight loss
- Enjoy more balanced body proportions
- Feel more confident and comfortable in clothing and swimwear
- Experience the self-assuredness that comes with symmetry and proportion
While each patient’s motivations are unique, Dr. Demsey’s philosophy remains the same: your results should always look natural, feel comfortable, and reflect a long-term perspective.
Your Breast Augmentation Options
Dr. Demsey’s background in both aesthetic and reconstructive surgery gives him a keen eye for details that many patients often overlook, such as preserving sensation, minimizing scar visibility, and selecting a size that can age gracefully with you.
Depending on your goals, you may be a candidate for either traditional implant-based augmentation or breast augmentation with fat transfer. Learn more about these approaches below.
Breast Implants
Demsey Plastic Surgery offers both silicone and saline implants. Silicone is often preferred for its soft, natural feel, while saline offers the reassurance of being safely absorbed by the body in the event of a leak. Both implant materials come in an array of sizes, shapes, and profiles, and can produce beautiful, long-lasting results that blend seamlessly with your body.
Breast Implant Incisions & Placement
Beyond implant type, Dr. Demsey also guides you through discussions about implant placement and incision options during your consultation. He takes the time to understand your vision and helps you choose the options that best help you achieve it.
For example, some patients benefit most from having their implants placed under the chest muscle for added coverage and support. In contrast, others may prefer an over-the-muscle placement for its natural movement and more comfortable recovery.
Dr. Demsey makes incisions with discretion, hiding them along the breast crease, around the areola, or in the armpit to minimize visible scarring.
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
For patients seeking a modest increase in volume, fat transfer breast augmentation may be an attractive option. Dr. Demsey first performs liposuction to take fat from another area of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs. He then purifies it before carefully injecting the fat into the breasts to improve their shape and volume.
Because fat transfer breast augmentation uses your own tissue, the results look and feel especially natural. The change is more subtle than what can be achieved with implants, making it ideal for patients looking to refine their curves rather than a significant size increase.
Dr. Demsey takes a precise approach to shaping and layering the fat, ensuring results that are soft, smooth, and balanced. This technique produces long-lasting results and comes with the added benefit of gentle body contouring.
Your Breast Augmentation Consultation
Your consultation is the first, and often most important step in planning your breast augmentation. During this appointment, you and Dr. Demsey review your goals and explore your personalized treatment options in an unhurried, supportive environment.
Dr. Demsey provides his honest recommendations about what will work best for your body and offers expert guidance on next steps. He never rushes or pressures you into making a decision and is happy to continue the conversation if you have more questions or need more time.
Popular Procedure Pairings
Some patients find that they can achieve the best results by combining their breast augmentation with complementary procedures. This is often referred to as a mommy makeover, and may include:
- A breast lift if sagging and skin laxity are a concern
- A tummy tuck to repair separated abdominal muscles and refine the waistline
- Liposuction to refine contours and further balance proportions
Combining procedures often means a single recovery period, streamlined costs, and a more harmonious overall outcome.
Breast Augmentation Recovery and Results
Most patients return to light activity within 1 to 2 weeks, with their final breast shape continuing to refine over several months. Dr. Demsey actively monitors your recovery and provides you with detailed postoperative instructions to guide you through your healing period.
For patients who have had surgery elsewhere and are unhappy with their outcome—or those who simply want to exchange their implants or update their look—Dr. Demsey also performs breast implant revision. His reconstructive expertise allows him to correct complications or refine results as safely and seamlessly as possible.
Breast Augmentation FAQ
How long do breast implants last?
Most implants last 10 to 15 years or longer before implant replacement or removal should be considered. Dr. Demsey can guide you through your options, from refreshing your look with new implants to exchanging them for a lift with fat transfer.
Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation?
In most cases, yes, you can breastfeed after breast augmentation. Dr. Demsey will carefully plan your surgery to preserve the glands and ducts necessary for breastfeeding.
How long does it take to see my final results?
You’ll notice breast augmentation results right after surgery, but it takes several weeks for swelling to resolve and a few months for your breasts to fully soften and settle into their new shape (a process called “drop and fluff”).
