Breast Implant Options

You have more breast implant choices today than ever before. Dr. Kim and Dr. Schafer will walk you through each option in detail, drawing on their combined decades of plastic surgery experience to help you find the right fit for your body and goals.

Silicone Implants

Pre-filled with cohesive silicone gel, these implants are known for a soft, natural feel that closely mimics natural breast tissue. Available starting at age 22.

Saline Implants

Filled with sterile saltwater after placement, saline implants allow for adjustable sizing during surgery and immediately noticeable signs if a rupture occurs. Available starting at age 18.

Gummy Bear Implants

These form-stable silicone implants hold their shape even in the rare event of a rupture, offering a firmer feel and long-lasting contour.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

For patients seeking a subtle, implant-free enhancement, we can use your own body fat — harvested through liposuction — to add natural volume.

Finding Your Ideal Implant Size

Choosing the right implant size is one of the most important — and personal — decisions in the breast augmentation process. Dr. Kim or Dr. Schafer will evaluate your breast width, existing tissue, chest proportions, and goals, and use implant sizing samples during your consultation so you can visualize your results before committing to surgery.

Not sure which option is right for you?

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Dr. Charles Schafer. When I first went in for a consultation, I honestly didn’t think I’d go through with breast augmentation—I was just curious. After losing weight, I had lost all my breast volume and felt selfconscious.

Dr. Schafer changed everything for me. He was patient, detailed, and genuinely invested in helping me understand the procedure. He answered every question and even brought up things I hadn’t thought of. I left that consult feeling confident and supported.

Fast forward six months: I have 330cc highprofile Motiva implants under the muscle, I’m fully back at the gym, and I finally feel like myself again. I love how my clothes fit, and my confidence is back. If you’re on the fence about breast augmentation, go see Dr. Schafer—he’s truly exceptional.

Your Breast Augmentation Journey — What to Expect

Your Consultation

An unhurried first conversation

Your journey starts with a thorough, unhurried consultation with Dr. Kim or Dr. Schafer. Together, you’ll review your health history, discuss your goals, and choose the implant type, size, and surgical approach that’s right for you. As Dr. Schafer puts it, “there is no room for a one-size-fits-all approach” — your plan is built around your anatomy and your goals, not a template.

Breast Augmentation FAQs

Implants add volume, but they don't correct sagging or reposition the nipple. If your nipple sits at or below your breast crease, a breast lift combined with augmentation may give you the best results. Dr. Kim or Dr. Schafer can advise you on the best approach during your consultation.

Most patients keep their implants 10–15 years or longer before needing replacement, though this varies by individual.

Many women can still breastfeed after augmentation, though this depends on incision location and individual anatomy — a topic we're happy to discuss in your consultation.

Silicone implants tend to feel more like natural breast tissue, while saline implants offer adjustable sizing during surgery and an easier way to detect rupture.

Cost varies based on implant type, technique, and individual goals. We'll provide a personalized quote during your consultation.

How do I know if I need breast augmentation alone or with a lift? 

Implants add volume, but they don’t correct sagging or reposition the nipple. If your nipple sits at or below your breast crease, a breast lift combined with augmentation may give you the best results. Dr. Kim or Dr. Schafer can advise you on the best approach during your consultation.

How long do breast implants last? 

Most patients keep their implants 10–15 years or longer before needing replacement, though this varies by individual.

Will breast augmentation affect my ability to breastfeed?
