Nearly 300,000 women undergo breast augmentation each year to enhance the appearance of their breasts. During breast implant surgery, an implant is put into the breast to increase cup size, enhance shape, correct imbalances, and improve firmness. If your breasts are naturally small or have lost their youthful shape from aging or pregnancy, this procedure may be able to help you achieve your desired breast appearance.

Saline and silicone are the two most popular types of breast implants. Both have their unique benefits, which we will discuss in detail during your consultation.
Silicone
Silicone gel implants are the most popular option for breast augmentation, both by surgeons and patients. They are known for creating a highly natural look and feel, especially in thin patients with little natural breast tissue. Silicone implants are pre-filled with silicone gel and require a larger incision than saline implants.
Saline
Saline breast implants are a good option for younger women that desire breast augmentation. Currently, FDA approval for silicone implants is only available for women aged 22+, unless there is a specific anatomical reason why a silicone implant is needed. Saline implants allow for a smaller incision and are easier to remove with a surgical procedure. Since they are filled with medical-grade saline, they can have a firm feel.
Silicone
Silicone gel implants are the most popular option for breast augmentation, both by surgeons and patients. They are known for creating a highly natural look and feel, especially in thin patients with little natural breast tissue. Silicone implants are pre-filled with silicone gel and require a larger incision than saline implants.

Motiva Implants
Motiva implants are a cutting-edge option for breast augmentation, offering advanced features that prioritize your safety and wellness. They are available in two options, SmoothSilk® Round and SmoothSilk Ergonomix®, each with its own benefits to suit different preferences and body types.
SmoothSilk® Round
SmoothSilk® Round implants are designed for those who desire a fuller and perkier chest. They maintain fullness and a rounded shape, whether standing or lying down, making them ideal for achieving a lifted look. These implants use advanced ProgressiveGel PLUS® for softness and a smooth texture for added comfort and reduced complications.
SmoothSilk Ergonomix®
SmoothSilk Ergonomix® implants are unique for their ability to adapt to your body’s movements, creating a teardrop shape when standing and a round shape when lying down. This natural, dynamic quality makes them an excellent choice for patients who want results that mimic natural breast tissue. Their design allows for insertion through a small incision, minimizing scarring.

I highly recommend Sarasota Plastic Surgery
I contacted Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center regarding hair removal. Kimberly was very professional and answered all of my questions. Kimberly had an excellent rapport with myself as a patient and her knowledge of the technology and specific use of the laser everywhere I requested was fantastic. I will be rescheduling additional treatments as needed in the future. I highly recommend Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center, for it’s professionalism and attention to detail.- Ted S.
Breast implants come in a variety of profiles. Patients select implants based on the extent of the breasts’ projection and how wide the implant will be on the chest wall in relation to the base width. Since silicone implants are already pre-filled, the standard profiles come in low, moderate, high, and extra high. However, saline implants are inserted and then filled with saline solution until they meet the patient’s preferred profile. Choosing the right profile can sometimes be difficult, and it is up to a skilled plastic surgeon to help guide the patient accordingly. At Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center, we often use Vectra 3-D, which allows the use of 3-dimensional images of the patient to show actual changes with different implants. This method is highly beneficial in making this all-important decision.
Implant Placement
Many of our patients ask about the safety of silicone breast implants. Today’s silicone implants are much more advanced than the silicone implants used decades ago. Breast implant rupture is rare, but when they do occur, newer implant types feature a durable shell that will encase the silicone gel, preventing it from entering the body. Whether you choose saline or silicone for your procedure, we are confident in the safety and efficacy of the breast implants that we use at our practice.
How Much Does a Breast Augmentation Cost?
Since breast augmentation is highly customized, it is impossible to provide a quote for this procedure without meeting for a consultation first. You’ll receive detailed pricing information during your first meeting with us, including details about our payment and financing options.

What to Expect During and After Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure lasting about an hour and performed under general anesthesia in our accredited surgical facility. Patients must limit all activities for 48 hours after surgery. When GalaFLEX™ mesh is utilized, it provides immediate soft tissue reinforcement, supporting the newly adjusted breast shape and reducing the likelihood of complications. Mild bruising and swelling are common, and a support bra is necessary for recovery. Tightness around the chest is expected as the skin adapts to the breasts’ new shape. Most patients can resume daily activities within seven days but should avoid exercise for three weeks. Full results, including softness, sensation, and final implant positioning, typically develop over three to six months.
