SCHEDULE YOUR CONSULTATION or call (843) 755-6591Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts using implants. Performed by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Clayton Crantford at Crantford Costa Plastic Surgery + Skin Clinic in Charleston, SC, this procedure is designed to create natural-looking results that complement your body’s unique proportions and align with your personal aesthetic goals.
Whether you’re seeking to restore volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss, correct asymmetry, or simply enhance your silhouette, breast augmentation can be tailored to your specific needs. Dr. Crantford uses advanced technologies like Crisalix 3D imaging to help you visualize your potential results before surgery, ensuring you feel confident and informed every step of the way. For patients interested in a less invasive approach, we also offer Motiva Preservé breast augmentation, which can be performed under local anesthesia with faster recovery.

REQUEST A CONSULTATIONBreast augmentation can address a variety of aesthetic goals. Here are common reasons patients choose this procedure.
Patients who desire larger, fuller breasts with increased volume that’s proportionate to their frame. Breast augmentation can provide the size and projection you’ve always wanted.
Many women have naturally asymmetrical breasts. Augmentation allows Dr. Crantford to correct these differences and create a balanced, harmonious appearance.
Pregnancy and breastfeeding can change breast volume and shape. Many patients choose augmentation to restore their pre-pregnancy silhouette and regain confidence in their appearance.
Significant weight loss can diminish breast volume. Breast augmentation restores fullness and creates a more youthful contour following your body transformation.
At Crantford Costa Plastic Surgery, we selected Motiva because it represents the pinnacle of breast implant technology.
Nano-textured to minimize capsular contracture and inflammatory response while promoting healthy tissue integration.
The TrueMonobloc shell design allows insertion through incisions nearly half the standard size, reducing scarring and recovery time.
ProgressiveGel technology mimics natural breast tissue density and responds naturally to gravity and movement. Patients consistently report they feel like their own breasts.
First new breast implant PMA approval since 2013. Used in over 85 countries with more than a decade of real-world clinical data supporting safety and performance.
Dr. Crantford personalizes every aspect of your procedure to achieve optimal results.
Dr. Crantford offers multiple incision techniques: inframammary (hidden in the breast crease), periareolar (around the areola), or transaxillary (in the armpit). Each has distinct advantages for your anatomy and goals.
Implants can be positioned submuscularly (under the chest muscle) or subglandularly (under the breast tissue). Dr. Crantford recommends placement based on your anatomy, desired result, and lifestyle to maximize long-term satisfaction.
Crisalix 3D imaging allows you to preview your results before surgery. Dr. Crantford uses this technology to guide implant selection, ensuring the size and profile are perfectly matched to your goals and proportions.
Most patients can return to light office work within 1 to 2 weeks after breast augmentation surgery. Full activity, including exercise and strenuous workouts, can typically resume at 4 to 6 weeks. Final results continue to improve as swelling subsides over 3 to 6 months, with improved settling and natural positioning of the implants as soft tissue adapts.
Dr. Crantford’s Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation program is built on ERAS (Enhanced Recovery After Surgery) protocols — a proven, evidence-based approach that optimizes every phase of your surgical experience. From pre-operative preparation to tailored anesthesia techniques and post-operative care, the ERAS protocol minimizes discomfort, reduces downtime, and gets you back to your normal routine faster than traditional approaches. Most patients report being pleasantly surprised by how manageable their recovery is.
The cost of breast augmentation varies based on several factors unique to your procedure.
Implant type: Motiva silicone gel vs. saline, and the specific model selected for your anatomy
Surgical approach: Incision location, implant placement, and whether additional procedures like a breast lift are combined
Anesthesia type: General anesthesia or local with sedation (Motiva Preservé can use local anesthesia)
Financing options: We partner with PatientFi and CareCredit to offer affordable monthly payment plans
Considering combining procedures? Many patients pair breast augmentation with a breast lift, tummy tuck, or mommy makeover for comprehensive results.
