What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to increase breast volume, improve symmetry, and enhance shape using saline or silicone implants. It’s frequently chosen by patients who have experienced volume loss due to pregnancy, weight fluctuations, or aging, as well as those who simply desire a more proportionate figure. Often performed on its own or in combination with a breast lift or mommy makeover, breast augmentation remains one of the most customizable and popular surgical procedures in Las Vegas.

Breast Augmentation at Cara Plastic Surgery

Breast augmentation in Las Vegas at Cara Plastic Surgery & Laser Center is performed by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. David Kahng, known for his refined aesthetic and meticulous technique. Every surgical plan is custom-developed based on your body type, skin quality, lifestyle, and personal preferences. 

Dr. Kahng’s focus is on achieving long-lasting enhancement that looks and feels natural—never overdone. Every detail, from implant selection to incision location, is chosen to create balanced results that suit your figure and goals.

Types of Breast Implants Offered

We offer a wide selection of FDA-approved breast implants to suit a range of body types and aesthetic preferences:

  • Saline Implants: Inserted empty and filled after placement, allowing for smaller incisions and size adjustments.
  • Silicone Gel Implants: Known for their natural texture and realistic feel. Popular for their soft, cohesive gel consistency.
  • Structured Saline Implants: Combine the safety of saline with internal structures that help maintain shape and firmness.
  • Gummy Bear Implants: Form-stable silicone implants that hold their shape over time. Preferred for anatomical contouring and durability.

Procedure Overview

Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, where we help you choose:

  • Implant size and type
  • Incision location: under the breast (inframammary), around the nipple (periareolar), under the arm (transaxillary), or occasionally through the belly button (transumbilical)
  • Implant placement: either above the chest muscle (subglandular) or beneath it (submuscular)

The surgery typically takes between one and three hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Patients return home the same day and begin recovery with a supportive care plan in place.

Placement Options

  • Subglandular: The implant is placed beneath breast tissue but above the muscle. Best for patients with adequate natural coverage. Recovery is typically faster.
  • Submuscular: The implant sits under both the breast tissue and the pectoral muscle. This often provides a more natural slope and reduces risks such as visible implant edges or capsular contracture.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery varies by patient but generally includes:

  • Rest and limited movement for the first few days
  • Return to light activity within 1–2 weeks
  • Supportive garments to help minimize swelling and stabilize the implants
  • Avoiding strenuous activity and upper body workouts for several weeks

Our Las Vegas team provides detailed post-op care instructions and schedules follow-ups to ensure proper healing and optimal results.
