Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation using saline, silicone, or FDA-approved Mentor MemoryShape gummy bear implants to increase breast volume, improve shape symmetry, and enhance overall breast proportions. Implants are placed either subglandularly or submuscularly based on anatomy and aesthetic goals. The procedure takes approximately 2.5 hours and is performed by board-certified plastic surgeons with 20 or more years of experience. Driving is typically permitted after 10 to 14 days, with a restriction on heavy lifting for at least two weeks.

Breast augmentation at CG Cosmetic Surgery is performed by a team of board-certified plastic surgeons each carrying a minimum of 20 years of operative experience, offering patients access to a depth of surgical expertise uncommon in single-surgeon practices. The clinic uses three primary implant types: saline implants (filled with sterile salt water after placement, allowing a smaller incision), silicone gel implants (pre-filled with cohesive silicone for a more natural feel), and Mentor MemoryShape gummy bear implants — form-stable, highly cohesive silicone devices that maintain their shape even if the implant shell is compromised, FDA-approved for their durability and natural profile. Implant placement is tailored individually: subglandular placement (above the pectoral muscle, below the glandular tissue) requires a shorter recovery and creates more upper-pole fullness, while submuscular placement (beneath the pectoralis major) can provide a more natural slope for patients with limited native breast tissue and may reduce implant palpability. The surgical session typically runs approximately 2.5 hours under general anesthesia. Post-operatively, patients should expect to avoid driving for 10 to 14 days, heavy lifting or strenuous arm movement for at least two weeks, and high-intensity physical activity for four to six weeks. Mild to moderate swelling and discomfort in the first week are expected and managed with prescribed analgesics. Final shape and position settle over three to six months as the implants soften and drop into their permanent position. The clinic offers financing options with monthly payment plans starting from $99, making the procedure more accessible without compromising surgical quality. Routine follow-up appointments are included in the post-operative care protocol.
