About Breast Augmentation

Personalized Care & Consultation

Breast augmentation, also known as mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. It effectively corrects imbalances, congenital asymmetry, or naturally small breasts, helping patients achieve a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing appearance.

Our procedures are tailored to each individual’s unique goals and body type, which may involve the use of silicone or saline implants, or fat transfer techniques. Breast augmentation is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic surgeries in the U.S., reflecting its popularity and high patient satisfaction rates. At Vega, it is one of our core specialties.

Our skilled and compassionate team of doctors, nurses, and assistants will guide you through every step of the process—from the initial consultation and selecting the right implant options to post-surgery recovery care. We are dedicated to ensuring your comfort, safety, and satisfaction as we help you achieve your desired results.

Augmentation Options

The Right Augmentation Procedure for Your Needs

Vega is committed to ensuring that each patient understands their options and feels comfortable and confident in the decided procedure. The information below will help you understand some of your procedure options and how they fit into your personal goals.

Breast Enlargement & Implants

Silicone Implants

Silicone implants, commonly referred to as “Gummy Bear Implants,” are a cohesive implant filled with silicone gel. Given that silicone implants are not liquid based, many women tend to prefer the more natural feeling that they provide.

Silicone implants are placed behind the breast tissue and pectoralis muscle for improvement in the size and appearance of the breasts.

Characteristics of silicone breast implants:

More expensive
Cohesive implant
More natural feeling
Less risk of rippling
Ideal for smaller patients with smaller breasts

Saline Implants

Saline implants are a fluid-based implant with sterile salt water or saline solution within a silicone shell. Given that, saline implants are extremely flexible with volume choices and are typically considered safer due to the makeup of the implant.

Saline implants are placed behind the breast tissue and pectoralis muscle for improvement in the size and appearance of the breasts.

Characteristics of saline breast implants:

Less expensive
Liquid implant in silicone shell
Move volume choices
Can be used in women under 22 years of age
Ideal for larger patients with more implant coverage

Prior to Your Surgery

Personalized Consultation

You will be warmly welcomed by Dr. Vega’s caring staff, who will take the time to sit down with you, learn about your medical history, listen closely to your goals, and answer any questions you may have about your options. You’ll then meet with Dr. Vega in person. Together, you will explore the various methods available and carefully select the treatment that will best help you achieve your desired results, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident about your choices.

What to Expect

What to Expect During Your During and After Your Surgery

Pre-Operation

One week before surgery you will meet with Dr. Vega’s staff for a pre-operative visit. You may be given prescriptions to fill; we may also take “before” photos. As always, we will answer any questions and discuss any concerns so that you feel completely confident as your surgery approaches.

Final Preparation

One day before surgery, confirm the arrangements for your procedure (including transportation) and to prepare your home for a relaxing and comfortable recovery. On the day of surgery, you will meet with Dr. Vega again. He will review your procedure with you and perform an exam to confirm that you’re in good health for your surgery.

Surgery

Please plan to arrive early to check in and prepare for your procedure. You can expect to remain in the recovery room for several hours following completion of the surgery. When you get home, start taking your pain medication and antibiotics, and limit your activity for at least the next 24 hours.

Recovery

Dr. Vega will outline a recovery plan specific to your surgery. We will schedule follow-up appointments as necessary throughout your recovery. Dr. Vega will assess your healing, remove or change dressings, and document your results. Based on your progress, he will also let you know when you can expect to resume normal activities.
