Love Your Look — In and Out of That Little Black Dress
Breast Augmentation in Ottawa with Dr. Mehrad Jaberi
Maybe you've always felt like your chest didn't quite match the rest of you. Maybe pregnancy or weight loss changed things, and you'd love to get back what you lost. Or maybe you just want to fill out that dress the way you've always imagined. Whatever your reason — it's a good one, because it's yours.
Breast augmentation isn't about becoming someone else. It's about becoming the version of you that feels most confident. And with Dr. Jaberi, you're getting a board-certified plastic surgeon who treats every patient like an individual — not a cup size on a chart.

What Is Breast Augmentation, Really?
Let's keep it simple: breast augmentation uses implants to increase the size, improve the shape, or restore the volume of your breasts. It's one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in North America — and for good reason. The results are predictable, the recovery is very manageable, and the confidence boost? That's the part patients talk about the most.
Dr. Jaberi uses the latest generation of silicone and saline implants, and every surgical plan is custom-built for your body. He'll look at your frame, your chest wall, your skin quality, and your goals — then recommend the implant type, size, profile, and placement that'll give you the most natural, beautiful result.
This isn't about going as big as possible (unless that's what you want). For many women, it's about going from a spot where clothes don't fit right and swimsuits feel awkward to a place where everything just… works. Dr. Jaberi's philosophy is that the best result is one that looks like you were born with it.
Is Breast Augmentation Right for You?
You might be a great candidate for breast augmentation if:
- You feel your breasts are too small for your body frame
- You have noticeable asymmetry between your breasts
- Pregnancy or breastfeeding deflated your breasts
- Weight loss left your breasts smaller or less full
- You want more confidence in and out of clothing
- You're in good health and have realistic expectations
This procedure is about what you want. There's no minimum or maximum — just a conversation about what'll make you feel your best.
What to Expect — From Consultation to Confidence
Your Consultation
This is a real sit-down with Dr. Jaberi — not a rushed appointment with a coordinator. You'll talk about what you'd like to achieve, and he'll take measurements to figure out what'll look best on your frame. You'll actually get to feel sample implants and try different sizes in a special bra, so you can see what different volumes look like on your body. It takes away so much of the guesswork.
Dr. Jaberi will walk you through the options — silicone vs. saline, round vs. anatomical, over vs. under the muscle — and explain why he's recommending what he's recommending. Zero jargon, zero pressure. Just honest guidance from someone who does this every single day.
The Day Of
Breast augmentation is a fairly quick surgery — usually 1 to 2 hours. You'll be under general anesthesia, so you won't feel a thing. Dr. Jaberi makes incisions in discreet locations (typically in the fold under the breast) to minimize visible scarring. The implants are placed, positioned perfectly, and you're in recovery before you know it.
Most patients go home the same day. You'll be wearing a supportive surgical bra, feeling a bit tight and groggy, but already on the road to your new look.
Recovery Timeline
The tightest you'll feel. Think "did I do 500 push-ups?" soreness. Rest, ice, and prescribed pain medication will keep you comfortable. Keep things light — binge that show you've been saving.
Soreness starts fading. You can do light tasks around the house. Many patients feel good enough to go out (no heavy lifting, though). Your implants will sit high at first — totally normal.
Most women are back at a desk job. The surgical bra becomes your new best friend. Implants start to "drop and fluff" — settling into a more natural position.
Light exercise resumes. The shape keeps improving. You're starting to really love what you see in the mirror.
Your final result emerges. Implants have fully settled, swelling is completely gone, and you've got the look you've been dreaming about. Time to go shopping.
Frequently Asked Questions
Silicone implants feel more like natural breast tissue — they're soft, have a natural bounce, and most patients and their partners can't tell the difference. Saline implants are filled after placement (allowing a slightly smaller incision) and some patients like the peace of mind that if they leak, it's just saltwater. Dr. Jaberi will help you weigh the pros and cons during your consultation. Most of his patients choose silicone, but both are excellent choices.
Under the muscle (submuscular) gives more tissue coverage over the implant, which means a more natural slope and less chance of visible implant edges. It's the go-to for most patients, especially those with less natural breast tissue. Over the muscle works well for patients who have enough tissue to camouflage the implant, or athletes who do heavy chest exercises. Dr. Jaberi recommends the position that'll look most natural on your body.
Throw cup sizes out the window — they mean different things across different brands. What matters is the implant volume (measured in cc's) and how it fits your chest width. During your consultation, you'll try on different sizes in a special fitting bra so you can see what each volume looks like on your frame. Many patients bring photos of results they like, and Dr. Jaberi helps translate that into the right implant for you.
Modern implants are built to last 10 to 20 years, and many last even longer. They don't have an expiration date — if everything looks and feels great at your check-ups, there's no reason to swap them out. That said, your body changes over time, so some women choose to replace or adjust their implants down the road just because their goals have shifted.
Yes — most women with implants breastfeed without any problems. Dr. Jaberi uses surgical techniques that protect the milk ducts and the nerves that signal milk production. If future breastfeeding is on your mind, bring it up during your consultation. It won't change whether you're a candidate, but it may influence the incision location and implant placement.
Dr. Jaberi places incisions in the fold under the breast (inframammary fold) — it's the most hidden location and gives him the best control during surgery. The scar fades significantly over time and sits right in the natural crease. Within a year, most patients say they can barely see it. If scarring is a concern, ask about scar care protocols during your consultation.
