Breast Augmentation with Dr. Gary Vela

Modern Breast Augmentation techniques prioritize natural-looking results that complement your body's proportions. When performed by an experienced surgeon who carefully selects the appropriate implant size, shape, and placement for your frame, results should enhance your figure without appearing overdone. During your consultation, we'll discuss your aesthetic goals and recommend options that create the balanced, authentic look you're seeking, not an obvious "augmented" appearance.

Breast augmentation is one of the most commonly performed and thoroughly studied cosmetic procedures, with an excellent safety record when performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon in an accredited facility. Like any surgery, it carries some risks, including infection, bleeding, or capsular contracture, but serious complications are rare. At Snatched Plastic Surgery, we follow rigorous safety protocols, use FDA-approved implants, and provide comprehensive pre- and post-operative care to minimize risks and ensure the best possible outcome.

While modern implants are highly durable, rupture can occasionally occur due to trauma, wear over time, or manufacturing defects. If a saline implant ruptures, you'll notice deflation within hours as your body safely absorbs the saltwater. Silicone ruptures may be "silent" and require imaging to detect, which is why we recommend periodic monitoring. If replacement becomes necessary, the procedure is straightforward, and many women use it as an opportunity to update their size or style. We'll work with you to address any concerns and ensure your continued satisfaction with your results.

Yes, many patients combine breast augmentation with a breast lift to achieve both added volume and a lifted, youthful contour in a single surgery. This approach is ideal if you've lost breast fullness and are experiencing sagging after pregnancy, weight loss or aging.
