What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation (also called augmentation mammaplasty) is a surgical procedure that enhances breast size and shape using implants. It’s designed to accentuate your natural silhouette, restore lost volume, and create balanced proportions that harmonize with your overall body shape.

Whether your goal is subtle enhancement or a more dramatic transformation, modern breast augmentation techniques offer customizable options that deliver beautiful, natural-feeling results.

Why Breast Augmentation Is So Popular

Breast augmentation remains one of the most sought-after cosmetic surgeries because it offers real, visible results that help women feel more confident and comfortable. According to plastic surgery data:

Breast augmentation has long been one of the most performed and admired aesthetic surgeries globally.¹

It brings out a sense of effortless confidence, helping women feel radiant in any outfit and every setting.

Advancements in implant technology and surgical techniques have made results more natural, soft, and personalized than ever.

Every woman’s body is unique, and so is her breast augmentation plan. That’s why we tailor your procedure specifically to your anatomy, preferences, and lifestyle.

Silicone vs. SalineBreast Implants

At Puyana Plastic Surgery, we offer both silicone and saline breast implants to ensure you have the best-fitting option for your body and aesthetic vision.

Why Silicone Implants?

Silicone gel implants are designed to feel soft and natural – similar to your own breast tissue. Many patients love the smooth, realistic shape that silicone implants create, especially under clothing and in motion.

Why Saline Implants

Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water and allow precise adjustment during surgery. They offer a defined shape and fullness that many women appreciate – especially those who want personalized control over their final breast volume.

Both options provide beautiful, long-lasting results. During your consultation with Dr. Puyana, we’ll help you choose the implant type that best matches your goals and anatomy so you feel confident and excited about your outcome.

Leading Implant Brands

We exclusively offer top-tier implants from world-renowned manufacturers that deliver consistent, trusted outcomes.

Mentor & Motiva

Motiva implants represent the newest generation of silicone technology. Engineered for softness, natural movement, and beautiful aesthetic harmony. Motiva’s advanced surface and gel design complement both under-muscle and subfascial placement techniques, producing results that often look and feel incredibly natural.

Mentor implants are highly respected in the medical community and favored for their predictable, beautifully shaped results.They come in a wide range of sizes and profiles, allowing customized contouring that enhances your natural curves.

Both Mentor and Motiva implants offer exceptional safety profiles and are chosen by patients who want quality outcomes and confidence in their breast enhancement results.

Placement Techniques

Choosing the right implant placement is part of creating a result that feels and looks natural.

Under the Muscle

Subglandular

Placing the implant partially under the chest muscle provides a graceful transition between your breast and chest wall, especially for patients with thinner soft tissue. This helps create a soft, naturally contoured result that enhances the overall silhouette.

Over the Muscle

SUBMUSCULAR

For many women, over-muscle placement creates a beautiful, smooth contour and a natural resting appearance. This approach can also result in a comfortable early recovery.

At your consultation, Dr. Puyana will assess your anatomy and goals to select the placement strategy that provides the most beautiful result for your individual frame.

Motiva Preservé Technique

One of the most exciting advancements in breast augmentation is the Preservé technique: a tissue-preserving method that leverages Motiva’s innovative implant design. It’s a modern approach that supports a harmonious breast shape with a gentle, muscle-friendly placement that often feels natural and balanced with the body’s movement.

Internal Bra with GalaFLEX®

The Internal Bra with GalaFLEX® is an advanced surgical support technique designed to reinforce the breast’s internal structure and provide added long-term support. GalaFLEX® is a bioresorbable surgical scaffold that is placed internally during breast surgery to strengthen soft tissue and help maintain breast position over time.

By reinforcing the breast from the inside, the Internal Bra with GalaFLEX® helps improve stability, shape retention, and durability of results.

Dr. Salomon Puyana uses the Internal Bra with GalaFLEX® in select patients who would benefit from additional internal support. The scaffold acts as a temporary framework, supporting the breast as the body gradually replaces it with the patient’s own collagen.Dr. Salomon Puyana uses the Internal Bra with GalaFLEX® in select patients who would benefit from additional internal support.

7. Does breast augmentation require future maintenance?

Breast implants are durable and designed for long-lasting results, and many women enjoy their beautiful outcomes for well over a decade. However, it’s important to know that implants are not considered lifetime devices. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)2 recommends that patients with silicone gel breast implants undergo imaging (either an MRI or ultrasound) starting 5 to 6 years after surgery, and every 2 to 3 years thereafter, to ensure the implants remain intact even if you feel perfectly fine.

At Puyana Plastic Surgery, we’ll design a personalized long-term care plan that includes these recommendations along with regular follow-up visits. Our focus is on supporting your continued health, safety, and confidence while keeping your results looking beautifully natural for years to come.
