What Is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical enhancement procedure used to increase breast size or adjust their shape using implants or fat transfer. This surgery is ideal for addressing volume loss after pregnancy or weight changes, balancing breast asymmetry, or simply enhancing breast appearance. We provide results that look and feel natural by providing tailored implant choices implants and advanced techniques. We aim to help you achieve the breast shape and size that best suits your body and personal preference and enhances your confidence.
Benefits of Breast Augmentation
Enhanced Breast Size and Shape
Breast augmentation can significantly improve the size and shape of your breasts, achieving a fuller and more proportionate appearance that aligns with your goals.
Improved Symmetry
Breast augmentation can correct this imbalance for those with naturally asymmetrical breasts, resulting in a more balanced and harmonious look.
Restored Volume
Many women experience a loss of breast volume due to weight loss or breastfeeding. Breast augmentation can replenish this lost volume, restoring the youthful fullness of the breasts.
Customizable Results
This procedure offers a variety of implant types, shapes, and placements, allowing you to customize the results to suit your individual preferences and desired aesthetic outcomes.
Boosted Confidence
Enhancing your breast size and shape can significantly increase your self-esteem and body image satisfaction, helping you feel more confident and comfortable in your skin.
Long-Lasting Results
Modern implant materials are designed to provide durable and long-lasting results, allowing you to enjoy the benefits of your breast augmentation for many years.
How Does a Breast Augmentation Work?
Dr. Salas performs breast augmentation as an outpatient procedure using general anesthesia. Depending on your goals and anatomy, he may place silicone, saline, or gummy bear implants under or over the chest muscle. Incisions are made in discreet locations—under the breast, or around the nipple —to minimize visible scarring. This meticulous approach ensures that your results are both aesthetically pleasing and long-lasting.
Types of Breast Augmentation
Natural breast augmentation will help you achieve your desired breast size and shape without implants. The term for this procedure is fat transfer breast augmentation. With this treatment, the surgeon obtains body fat from another part of the body through liposuction, usually the abdomen or thighs, to boost your breasts’ shape and size.
Though fat transfer breast augmentation is an option, implants may be a better choice.
Silicone
As one of the most common breast implant materials, silicone best mimics natural breast tissue. It’s a Federal Drug Administration (FDA) approved material for patients over 22 years old.
The interior of the implant consists of silicone gel, so it won’t deflate if one develops a leak. A follow-up appointment at Salas Plastic Surgery will ensure that they maintain the look and structural integrity necessary to create the optimal appearance.
Gummy bear implants are form-stable silicone-based implants that maintain their shapes at all times. The gel inside them has a thicker consistency, which gives breasts a firmer form.
Structured Saline
The results of this material are a mix of silicone and saline implants. The breasts will have the natural appearance and movement that silicone provides and the symmetrical appearance of saline. Structured saline implants have several chambers that help the solution inside the shells move around, creating a natural-looking heft and bounce.
Saline
Saline implants contain sterilized saltwater and create a uniform feel and appearance in breasts. People like them because they can create flexible bra sizes, meaning you can customize them to your liking. An implant rupture is possible, but saline implants come with easy leak detection to prevent complications.
Dr. Salas inserts empty shells into the breasts. Once the placement is ideal, he will slowly fill the shells with saline until they reach the precise size you want. Because the implants are empty when they enter the body, it allows Dr. Salas to achieve symmetry, which is excellent for people with uneven breasts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a breast augmentation procedure painful?
While discomfort is uncommon following the procedure, it is typically manageable with prescribed pain relief, ensuring a more comfortable recovery experience.
How long until I see the final results?
Initial swelling will subside within a few weeks, but the final results of your breast augmentation will become more apparent over several months as your body heals and adjusts.
Can breast augmentation be combined with other procedures?
Yes, breast augmentation is often combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as a breast lift or body contouring surgeries such as liposuction and tummy tuck, to achieve a more comprehensive enhancement of your overall appearance.
What are the risks associated with breast augmentation?
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks involved, including bleeding, infection, and problems with the incision. However, under the expert care of Dr. Salas, these risks are minimized, and complications are rare.
Will my breast implants need to be replaced in the future?
Modern breast implants are designed to be long-lasting, but they may not last a lifetime. Regular check-ups and monitoring are essential to ensure their longevity, and replacement may be necessary.
What is the difference between Breast Augmentation and Implants?
People often assume that breast augmentation and implants go hand-in-hand for every patient, but that’s not entirely accurate. Breast augmentation is the process of contouring the breasts to achieve a specific profile.
For instance, a breast lift improves the perkiness of a patient’s breast, but that doesn’t mean they use or need implants. On the other hand, breast implants are a mechanism for achieving a specific breast profile and shape.
What will my Breast Augmentation incisions and scars be like?
Depending on your body and desired breast size, the surgeon will use one of the following breast augmentation techniques to install your implants:
- Transumbilical: The surgeon will make an incision above the belly button and insert both breast implants through the cut with this technique. They will position the implants in the appropriate locations without cutting breast tissue.
- Inframammary: The surgeon will make a horizontal incision in the crease under each breast. Inframammary cuts provide extra space for inserting gummy bear implants while hiding the scars in the crease.
- Periareolar: This technique involves making an incision around the outer edge of the areolas, which hides the scarring in the pigmentation transition. It’s ideal for minor breast enhancement surgery.
How much does Breast Augmentation cost?
According to a survey from the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery, the average price of breast augmentation can range from $3,000 to $12,000. The price depends on several factors, including the surgeon conducting the procedure, breast implant material, and location of the surgery.
Is Breast Augmentation cheaper than Implants?
Breast augmentation is usually more expensive than enhancements involving implants due to the necessary liposuction for a fat transfer to sculpt the breasts.
It is necessary to note that each patient is different; there is no one-size-fits-all approach to breast reconstruction. When you undergo the procedure from Salas Plastic Surgery, we will go over the costs of each process we’ll need to perform to ensure that you receive detailed pricing.
What are the requirements for Breast Augmentation?
Women who are good candidates for breast augmentation:
- Are generally healthy
- Has sagging, elongated, asymmetrical, low-volume breasts
- Is mentally sound
- Can rest and recover properly after the procedure
Does insurance cover Breast Augmentation?
Because breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure, it’s usually not covered by insurance. Most patients will pay out of pocket for their treatment unless they receive breast reconstruction services after a mastectomy due to breast cancer.
It’s not uncommon for eligible patients to pay for their procedures with a payment plan. We will discuss costs and payments during our initial consultation.
