Each treatment plan is tailored to the individual, ensuring results that feel natural, aligned, and consistent with your overall goals.Schedule your consultation with SOMA to explore a personalized approach to breast augmentation.

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances the size and shape of the breasts using implants or fat transfer techniques. While often associated with increasing volume, the procedure can also address asymmetry, restore fullness after pregnancy or weight loss, and improve overall proportion. At SOMA, breast augmentation is not treated as a one-size-fits-all procedure. Instead, it is approached with careful attention to anatomy, lifestyle, and long-term goals. This includes selecting the appropriate implant type, size, and placement, as well as considering how the breasts will evolve. Fat transfer breast augmentation, also known as implant-free augmentation, is also available for patients seeking a more subtle increase in volume using their own tissue.

Benefits of Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation can enhance both physical appearance and overall confidence when performed with precision and thoughtful planning. At SOMA, the goal is to create results that feel balanced, natural, and aligned with your body.

Improved breast volume and fullness that complements your natural proportions.
Enhanced symmetry when one breast differs in size or shape from the other.
Restoration of volume lost due to pregnancy, weight changes, or aging.
Greater confidence in clothing, swimwear, and overall body image.
Customizable options, including implants or fat transfer, to suit your preferences and anatomy.

Your Consultation

Your consultation at SOMA is designed to be thorough, informative, and highly personalized. This is where your goals, concerns, and expectations are carefully discussed in a clinical yet approachable environment. You will meet with a board-certified surgeon who will evaluate your anatomy, review your medical history, and guide you through available options. This includes a detailed discussion of implant types, sizes, profiles, and placement techniques, as well as alternative approaches such as fat transfer. This conversation is not rushed. It is structured to ensure you fully understand your options and feel confident in your decisions. In many cases, breast augmentation is also discussed within the context of a broader treatment plan, particularly if other procedures may help achieve a more cohesive result.

“Overall, incredible experience, and I'm very happy with my results. Dr. Rogers fixed areas of my body that were botched by surgeons at a well-known hospital. He performed a breast reduction, reverse abdominoplasty, a brachioplasty, hernia repair, and an abdominal scar revision.”

Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is appropriate for individuals who are looking to enhance breast volume, improve symmetry, or restore fullness while maintaining realistic expectations about surgical outcomes. Ideal candidates are generally in good overall health and have stable body weight.

It is also important that patients have a clear understanding of their goals and are seeking results that align with their natural proportions rather than extreme or disproportionate changes. Candidates may include those who have experienced changes in breast appearance due to pregnancy, aging, or weight fluctuations, as well as individuals who have always desired a fuller or more balanced shape.

Types of Breast Implants

Choosing the right implant is an important part of the breast augmentation process, and at SOMA, this decision is guided by both your aesthetic goals and your underlying anatomy. Rather than recommending a standard option, your surgeon will walk you through the differences to determine what will create the most balanced and natural result. There are two primary types of implants used in breast augmentation: saline and silicone.

Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater and can be adjusted during surgery, while silicone implants are pre-filled with a cohesive gel that more closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. Beyond material, implants also vary in shape, profile, and size. Some patients may benefit from a round implant that enhances fullness in the upper portion of the breast, while others may prefer a more subtle contour depending on their desired outcome. Profile options determine how far the implant projects from the chest, allowing for further customization. This level of detail ensures that your results are not only visually aligned with your goals but also structurally appropriate for your body over time.

What to Expect During Your Breast Augmentation Procedure

Breast augmentation is performed as an outpatient surgical procedure under anesthesia. The exact technique used will depend on your personalized treatment plan. Your surgeon will make carefully planned incisions, typically placed in discreet locations such as along the breast crease, around the areola, or within the armpit. Through these incisions, implants are placed either above or below the chest muscle, depending on what will best achieve your desired outcome.

For fat transfer procedures, liposuction is first used to harvest fat from areas such as the abdomen or thighs. The purified fat is then strategically injected into the breasts to enhance volume and shape.Throughout the procedure, precision and symmetry are prioritized to ensure balanced, natural-looking results. Every step is guided by both surgical expertise and an understanding of aesthetic harmony.

Breast Augmentation Recovery

Recovery following breast augmentation varies depending on the technique used, but most patients can expect a gradual return to normal activities over several weeks. In the initial days after surgery, it is common to experience swelling, tightness, and mild discomfort.

These symptoms are carefully managed with post-operative instructions and support from the SOMA team. Most patients are able to return to light activities within a week, while more strenuous exercise should be avoided for several weeks to allow proper healing.

Over time, swelling subsides, and the final shape of the breasts becomes more apparent. SOMA’s approach to recovery emphasizes continuity of care. Patients receive detailed guidance and ongoing support to ensure a smooth healing process and optimal long-term results.

When planned and performed carefully, breast augmentation can produce very natural-looking results that align with your body proportions and aesthetic goals.

Can I combine breast augmentation with other procedures?
