Get the Facts About Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, or, more informally, a "boob job," is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance breast size, fullness, and shape. This is accomplished through the placement of breast implants or fat transfer to the breasts.

A breast augmentation can:

  • Restore lost volume after pregnancy, weight loss, or aging
  • Enhance breast symmetry and proportion
  • Improve cleavage and projection
  • Expand clothing and swimsuit options
  • Help women feel more confident in their bodies

Every breast augmentation in Beverly Hills at Galanis Plastic Surgery is customized to the patient's body and vision for a result that feels balanced, natural, and completely you.

Choosing the Right Breast Implants

Selecting the right implant type, size, and shape is one of the most important decisions you will make with your breast augmentation surgeon in Beverly Hills—that’s how we ensure your augmentation meets your aesthetic goals. Dr. Galanis offers the latest advancements in implant technology, allowing patients to customize their augmentation to their specific needs.

Implant Types

  • Silicone Implants – Filled with cohesive silicone gel, these implants offer a soft, natural feel and are less prone to rippling than saline implants.
  • Saline Implants – Filled with sterile saltwater, these implants are inserted empty and filled once in place, allowing for smaller incisions and size adjustments during surgery.
  • Gummy Bear Implants – Also known as highly cohesive silicone implants, these maintain their shape and provide a teardrop appearance for a natural breast contour.

Implant Placement Options

  • Submuscular (under the muscle) – These provide a more natural breast slope and reduces the risk of visible implant edges.
  • Subglandular (above the muscle) – These are suitable for patients with more natural breast tissue, offering a shorter recovery time.

Dr. Galanis works closely with each patient to determine the best implant type, size, and placement to complement their body’s natural proportions.

Incision Options for Breast Augmentation

Dr. Galanis ensures that breast augmentation incisions are carefully placed for minimal scarring and optimal healing. The most common incision types include:

  • Inframammary Incision (IMF) – Placed discreetly in the breast crease for optimal access and scar concealment.
  • Periareolar Incision – A small incision along the edge of the areola for precise implant placement.
  • Transaxillary Incision – Hidden within the underarm to avoid any visible breast scars.

Dr. Galanis prioritizes scar-minimizing techniques and will recommend the incision that best suits your anatomy and goals.

Totally Body Makeover: Breast Augmentation Combination Procedures

At our luxury surgery center, breast augmentation can be performed alone or in combination with other breast and body procedures for enhanced results.

  • Breast Augmentation with Lift – A breast lift (mastopexy) is often combined with implants to restore fullness while lifting sagging breasts for a more youthful contour.
  • Mommy Makeover – Many women choose to include breast augmentation in their Mommy Makeover, pairing it with a tummy tuck, liposuction, or other post-pregnancy rejuvenation procedures.
  • Fat Transfer to Breasts – For patients seeking a more subtle enhancement, natural fat transfer can increase breast volume without the use of implants.

What to Expect from Surgery

Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure, meaning you’ll return home the same day. While initial swelling and bruising are expected, most patients feel comfortable returning to daily activities within a week.

Recovery Timeline:

  • First 24 Hours: Mild swelling, tightness, and discomfort—oral pain medication is provided as needed.
  • Week 1: Most patients feel comfortable resuming light activities.
  • Week 2: Stitches dissolve naturally, and most patients return to work.
  • Week 3–4: Bruising and swelling continue to subside.
  • Week 6: Patients may resume exercise and lifting.
  • 3–6 Months: Final breast shape settles into place.

Patients are advised to wear a compression bra for the first 2–4 weeks to support healing. Dr. Galanis and his team provide comprehensive follow-up care, checking in with you and answering questions so you never feel alone.
