Microneedling Treatments

Discover the rejuvenating power of microneedling—a cutting-edge treatment designed to refresh and repair your skin from the inside out.

This minimally invasive procedure uses ultra-fine needles to create thousands of controlled micro-injuries in the skin’s surface. These tiny channels stimulate your body’s natural healing response, boosting collagen and elastin production—two essential proteins that help keep your skin firm, smooth, and youthful.

Personalized Breast Implant Surgery with Dr. John Aker and Dr. Di Beckman—Breast Implants Designed Around Your Shape, Proportions, and Goals

Whether you want to restore fullness or enhance your proportions, breast augmentation can be tailored to your desired outcome and unique anatomy. At My Plastic Surgery Group, Dr. John Aker and Dr. Di Beckman provide personalized breast augmentation for patients in Carmel, Indianapolis, and throughout Central Indiana.

From implant selection to surgical technique, your procedure is carefully planned around you. Options include our Hidden Scar Breast Augmentation technique, which avoids an incision on the breast, as well as the inframammary fold approach.

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that uses implants to increase breast volume. It can enhance small breasts, replace volume lost after pregnancy or weight changes, improve breast proportions, and improve symmetry.

Because every patient is different, your surgeon will consider your breast and chest measurements, existing tissue, skin, lifestyle, and cosmetic goals when developing your treatment plan.

Who Is a Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation candidates must be in good general health, have fully developed breasts, and have realistic expectations for the procedure’s outcome. Since pregnancy and breastfeeding can affect breast size and shape, patients often choose to wait until their family is complete to undergo this surgery to avoid compromising their results and a potential need for a revision procedure.

If breast sagging is a concern, implants alone may not provide the result you are looking for. In those cases, your surgeon may recommend a breast lift or discuss combining a lift with augmentation.

A consultation with one of our surgeons is the best way to find out if you are a candidate. In addition to learning about what you want to achieve, answering any questions you may have, and performing an examination, your surgeon will review your health history and medications to determine if breast augmentation is the right option for you.

Questions & Answers with Dr. Aker

Who is a candidate?

One of the most exciting things about Microneedling is that it can be used on all types of skin for a wide range of problems, including acne scars and any area requiring cell regeneration or an intense repair process.

How is the procedure done?

A thin layer of serum is applied to the skin, and the appropriate treatment is selected for a particular type of skin. Then the pen is glided across the repair area in a gentle motion.

How long does the procedure take?

The procedure typically takes 30-45 minutes (with numbing), depending upon the size of the area and the severity of skin damage.

When will I see the results?

Most people notice healthier-looking skin immediately, and the natural repair process of the skin continues to progress over the course of several weeks. Dermal collagen remodeling takes place over time, and it will continue to improve for up to six months after your final treatment.

What areas of the body can be treated?

Microneedling is extremely versatile and can be used on all parts of the body: Face, neck, decollete, arms, hands, legs, abdomen, and back. This versatility makes Microneedling especially helpful when addressing acne scars and stretch marks.

What does it feel like?

The unique design of Microneedling allows for individualized settings, which makes the treatment quite comfortable for most patients.

What is the downtime?

Immediately following the treatment, you will notice a healthy skin glow. Your skincare professional will recommend products to aid your skin’s natural healing process. Total healing time depends on the severity of the damaged skin and depth of the repair process required. On average, patients are pink for two to four days. Some patients heal completely in 24 hours.

How many treatments will I need?

The course of treatment will be determined by your skincare professional based upon your individual treatment goals and the health of your skin. Most patients receive a series of 3 treatments spaced about 4 weeks apart. For patients with more severe skin issues, additional sessions may be necessary.

The Specifics

Microneedling Details

The Process

Microneedling accelerates the repair process by creating microscopic channels, which also allow products to penetrate the deeper layers of the skin. New collagen and elastin production can reverse years of sun damage, improve acne scars and enhance the overall appearance of aging skin.

Microneedling is a versatile treatment that can improve the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, uneven texture, and overall tone. With each session, you’ll notice skin that looks more radiant, revitalized, and refined.

Embrace a natural approach to skin rejuvenation—tailored to your unique needs and goals.

Good Microneedling Candidates

Good candidates for microneedling are generally healthy adults who want to improve concerns such as fine lines, uneven skin tone or texture, enlarged pores, mild skin laxity, or acne scarring. Because the treatment stimulates the skin’s natural collagen production, it is an excellent option for clients seeking gradual, natural-looking rejuvenation without surgery or extensive downtime. Microneedling can benefit many skin types, although clients with active acne, infections, open wounds, or certain medical conditions may need to postpone treatment. During your consultation, our experienced team will evaluate your skin and determine whether microneedling is right for your unique needs and goals.

Cost of microneedling

The cost of microneedling varies depending on your individual skin concerns, treatment area, and the number of sessions recommended to achieve your desired results. Because each treatment plan is customized, an exact price will be provided during your consultation after our team evaluates your skin and discusses your goals. While some clients may notice improvement after one appointment, a series of treatments is often recommended for the best outcome. Financing options may also be available to help make your treatment more manageable.

Breast Augmentation FAQs

How much does breast augmentation cost in Indianapolis?

The price of breast enhancement in the Indianapolis area varies based on the specifics of the procedure. When determining total breast augmentation cost, we factor in the cost of the implants, the specific techniques utilized, the total time required to complete the procedure, and many other aspects of the surgery. A detailed cost estimate will be provided during your consultation once your surgical plan has been created.

Financing is available through Cherry, CareCredit, and PatientFi for qualified patients.

What is “rippling”?

It is common to feel a slight “crinkly” sensation along the breast fold where the implant comes closest to the surface. In very slender women, there may be visible wrinkling on the skin surface. It is more commonly observed with saline than with silicone gel implants and can occur in different areas of the breast.

Is over-the-muscle or under-the-muscle breast implant placement better?

The breast implant pocket can be either directly behind the breast tissue or behind the pectoral muscle which is behind the breast tissue. Dr. Aker prefers to place the implant behind the pectoral muscle to give the upper breast a more natural slope and graceful appearance.

Will breast augmentation improve sagging breasts?

While limited breast sagging is frequently corrected by breast augmentation, a breast lift may be required for greater degrees of drooping.

What are the most common complications after breast augmentation?

A common short-term issue is temporary changes in nipple sensation. A temporary tight sensation in the armpit may also occur when the endoscopic technique is performed.

Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices and may need to be replaced after 10 to 15 years. Regular follow-up with your surgeon can help monitor your implants and address any issues if they occur.

How do I choose the right breast implant size?

Choosing the right implant size depends on your body proportions and desired outcome. We guide you through the process to ensure a natural, balanced result.

What is the difference between silicone and saline implants?

Silicone implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel, while saline implants are filled with sterile salt water. We help you select the option that best fits your goals and anatomy during your consultation.

Is it possible to combine breast augmentation with other procedures?

Absolutely. Breast augmentation surgery is frequently combined with tummy tuck surgery or breast lift surgery for a “mommy makeover” to address pregnancy-related changes in breast and body contours.

Do saline implants last longer than gel implants?

The failure rate over time is about the same.

Could I lose nipple sensation after my breast augmentation?

It is very unlikely to permanently lose sensation. It is common to have temporary increased or decreased sensation.

If I gain weight, will my implants look different?

This varies from woman to woman. Some women experience significant changes in breast size with weight fluctuations, while others notice very little change.

I’ve heard my implants might “settle”. What does that mean?

Shortly after surgery, the implants tend to “ride high” due to spasm of the muscle. Over the weeks following surgery, the muscle and breast tissue relax, allowing the implant to descend into a more natural position. This process is called “settling”.

How soon will I be able to return to work?

For less physical job requirements, patients can usually return to work after 3–5 days, while those with more physically demanding jobs may need 5–7 days.

Will my breast implants interfere with a mammogram?

Women with breast implants can continue to have routine mammograms. Because implants can make some breast tissue more difficult to see, additional views or special imaging techniques may be used to obtain a thorough examination. Be sure to let the mammography facility know that you have breast implants when scheduling your appointment so they can plan accordingly.

Will my scars be noticeable after my surgery?

If the endoscopic technique is used, there will be no scar on the breast at all. With the inframammary approach, there will be visible scars in the crease under the breast, though they fade significantly over time.

Can I breastfeed after I have breast augmentation surgery?

Many women are able to breastfeed after breast augmentation. However, it is not possible to predict with certainty how breastfeeding will be affected. Your surgeon can discuss this with you in more detail based on your procedure and future plans for pregnancy and breastfeeding.
