When considering breast augmentation, many people want a precise fit that reflects their unique vision of beauty. At Allure Esthetic, we understand how important it is to feel in control of your results, so we offer adjustable breast implants in Seattle, Washington.
Led by Dr. Javad Sajan, our clinic focuses on patient-centered care, supporting you every step toward achieving a wholly natural and personal look. If you’ve ever wished there was a way to fine-tune your breast augmentation results even after surgery, adjustable implants may be exactly what you’re looking for.
What Are Adjustable Breast Implants?
Adjustable breast implants—sometimes called expandable breast implants—are a modern approach to breast augmentation designed to offer flexibility in size and shape even after the initial surgery. Unlike traditional implants that come in a fixed volume, adjustable implants contain a small port which allows your surgeon to add or remove saline solution post-operatively. This option means you’re not locked into a single size at the time of your operation.
In simple terms, these implants have a built-in “fine-tuning” feature. If you want a little more fullness or wish to reduce your implant size slightly, you can do so with a minimally invasive procedure that adjusts the volume. This post-surgical flexibility helps many patients feel more confident, as they can reach the shape and profile that best suits their body.
What Makes MENTOR™ SPECTRUM™ Different?
While adjustable implants come in various brands and styles, MENTOR™ SPECTRUM™ stands out due to its blend of innovation and quality. Mentor is a well-established breast implant manufacturer known for rigorous testing and research. Their SPECTRUM™ line elevates this reputation by providing:
- Reliable Construction: The shells and valves are crafted with durability in mind, aiming for a comfortable and natural feel.
- Precision Adjustability: MENTOR™ SPECTRUM™ implants make it easier to customize breast size after surgery. The internal valve and port system is designed for smooth adjustments, minimizing discomfort and risk.
- Aesthetic Versatility: Whether seeking a subtle change in volume or a dramatic update, SPECTRUM™ allows for incremental adjustments to find the exact look you prefer.
The ability to offer such post-operative adjustments means you have less guesswork during your initial surgical planning. You can adjust over time, ensuring the outcome aligns with your aesthetic goals.
Benefits Of Adjustable Breast Implants
- Flexibility: If you’re uncertain about your desired size, adjustable implants let you refine your choice after seeing how the implants settle into your body.
- Reduced Need For Revision Surgery: Because you can modify the volume, you may avoid future surgeries sometimes required when patients change their minds about implant size.
- Natural Look & Feel: Modern adjustable implants are designed to mimic the feel of actual breast tissue, giving you a smooth, contoured look without sacrificing comfort.
- Personalized Approach: Every body is different. Adjustable implants honor that uniqueness by allowing a level of personalization not possible with traditional options.
These advantages can bring peace of mind and enhance satisfaction with your breast augmentation. You get more control and less worry about “what if I want to go bigger—or smaller—later?”
What To Expect During The Process
At Allure Esthetic, we pride ourselves on patient-focused care from start to finish. During your initial consultation, we’ll discuss your aesthetic vision, medical history, and any concerns. Dr. Javad Sajan will explain how adjustable breast implants work and help you decide if MENTOR™ SPECTRUM™ is right based on your anatomy, lifestyle, and overall goals.
On the day of your surgery, you’ll receive anesthesia to ensure you’re comfortable throughout the procedure. Dr. Sajan will make a small incision—often hidden in the breast crease or around the areola—then place the implant. Once the implants are in position, Dr. Sajan will close the incisions and insert a temporary or removable port for post-operative saline adjustments. After the initial placement, you’ll recover briefly before returning for any necessary volume modifications. The overall process aims to provide a safe, tailored experience so you can achieve the results you’ve envisioned.
What Is Recovery Like?
The recovery journey with adjustable implants is similar to traditional breast augmentation, but with a few extra steps to accommodate possible adjustments. Here’s a general outline:
- Immediate Post-Op: Expect swelling, soreness, and bruising in the first few days. We’ll provide you with prescription medication and guidance on managing any discomfort.
- Activity Restrictions: You’ll need to avoid strenuous exercise or heavy lifting for a few weeks, but light walking is encouraged to promote blood circulation.
- Follow-Up Appointments: We’ll schedule several visits to check your healing progress and discuss possible adjustments. Dr. Sajan can add or remove saline fluid through the port if you want to modify the implant size.
- Long-Term Care: Once you’re happy with the size, your surgeon may remove or seal the port to finalize the implant.
Overall, recovery is a team effort. Our staff will be available to answer questions and ensure your comfort at every stage.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is an adjustable implant more likely to leak than a traditional implant?
Modern expandable breast implants are designed to be safe and durable. While every implant carries some risk of leaks or ruptures, MENTOR™ SPECTRUM™ implants undergo rigorous testing to minimize these possibilities.
How many adjustment sessions can I have?
The number of adjustments varies from patient to patient. Typically, you may have one to three adjustment appointments, but it depends on your goals and how your breasts respond to the implants.
When can I remove the port?
Once you’re happy with your size and shape, Dr. Sajan can remove or seal off the port. This is generally a minor procedure that can be done on an outpatient basis.
Will the final look feel natural?
Yes. Adjustable implants, especially those from the MENTOR™ SPECTRUM™ line, are designed to mimic the natural feel of breast tissue. With proper sizing and surgical placement, they can offer a very natural appearance.
Do adjustable implants cost more?
They can be slightly more expensive than traditional implants due to their specialized design and the additional office visits. However, many patients find that the ability to make post-operative adjustments is well worth the investment.
