Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is one of the ways that many women can achieve the body contour that has eluded them for most of their life. Many times, having smaller breasts can mean being self-conscious or embarrassed about the way you look.

Breast augmentation can correct your breast size so that your breasts are perkier and fuller. Often, breast augmentation provides a boost in self-confidence because your breasts are no longer a source of embarrassment or self-consciousness.

As a woman ages, breasts can lose their shape, firmness, and size. This can also occur after weight loss or pregnancy. Breast augmentation can correct these problems. Breast augmentation can give you rounder, fuller, healthy looking breasts that appear more natural.

Dr. Yugueros will place breast implants behind your breast tissue or muscle during the breast augmentation procedure. Based on your exam, your breast implants can be selected so that they increase your bra cup to a more desirable size.

Dr. Yugueros uses both saline and silicone gel implants at Luna Plastic Surgery. Both types of breast implants have proven to give safe and excellent breast augmentation results. You can discuss having silicone or saline breast implants during your initial breast augmentation consultation, and you will be provided with literature that discusses the benefits of each.
