Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery that enhances breast size, shape, and symmetry for a natural look. Many patients pursue breast augmentation to restore volume after pregnancy, aging, or weight change, while others correct breast asymmetry or seek added self-confidence.
Breast augmentation surgery delivers cosmetic and personal benefits, improving appearance, patient experience, and self-confidence.
Breast implants are the most common method in the United States for reshaping and enlarging breasts. Patients choose between silicone implants or saline implants, with silicone gel breast implants offering natural softness and saline allowing adjustable volume with smaller incisions. Dr. Bailey helps each patient select implant types, implant sizes, and projection suited to their anatomy and goals.
Fat transfer breast augmentation uses liposuction to remove fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs. Purified fat is injected into the breasts to refine shape and add volume. This option is ideal for those seeking natural enhancement without implants or preferring a less invasive breast procedure.

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast size, enhance shape, and improve symmetry. It typically involves the placement of silicone or saline implants under the breast tissue or chest muscle to achieve a fuller appearance. Some patients seek this procedure for aesthetic reasons, while others choose it as part of breast reconstruction.
Breast augmentation and boob job refer to the same procedure, which involves placing implants to enhance breast size and shape. The term “boob job” is a more informal way of describing this surgery.
The cost of breast augmentation varies depending on factors such as the type of implant, surgeon’s experience, and surgical facility. On average, the procedure typically ranges between $5,000 to $9,000 for implant-based augmentation, while fat transfer breast augmentation can cost between $7,000 to $11,000.
Breast augmentation does not automatically include a breast lift, but they can be performed together in many people. A combination of augmentation and mastopexy, also known as augmentation-mastopexy, enhances breast size while lifting sagging breasts to a more youthful position.
Breast augmentation is typically considered an elective cosmetic procedure, meaning most insurance plans do not cover it. However, insurance may apply in cases of breast reconstruction after mastectomy or if the procedure addresses certain medical concerns. It’s recommended to check with your insurance provider for specific coverage details.
Many patients choose to combine breast augmentation with other cosmetic procedures to achieve a more balanced and harmonious result. Combining procedures can enhance overall body proportions while minimizing recovery time. Some of the most common options include:
A breast lift is often performed alongside augmentation to address sagging and reposition the breasts to a more youthful height. This combination is ideal for patients who want both fuller and perkier breasts, particularly after pregnancy or weight loss.
Liposuction is frequently combined with breast surgery to sculpt and contour surrounding areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or bra line. Removing excess fat enhances the overall silhouette and complements the results of breast enhancement.
A tummy tuck is a popular addition for women who have experienced changes in their body due to pregnancy or weight fluctuations. This procedure tightens abdominal muscles, removes excess skin, and creates a flatter, more contoured midsection, making it a key part of a Mommy Makeover.
For patients with significant breast asymmetry, augmentation may be combined with a breast reduction on the larger breast to achieve better balance and proportion.
