With thousands of breast augmentations performed over the past 17 years, Dr. Soler-Baillo offers the most advanced surgical techniques, a variety of implant options, and a patient-first approach that ensures your results feel as natural as they look.
Silicone vs. Saline Implants: What’s the Difference?
Choosing between silicone and saline implants is one of the most important decisions you’ll make in your augmentation journey. At Soler-Baillo Plastic Surgery, we offer all FDA-approved implants from leading manufacturers like Mentor® and Allergan®, and we guide you through every option during your consultation.
-
Silicone Implants
Known for their soft, natural feel, silicone implants—especially cohesive gel “gummy bear” types—are a great option for implants. They're ideal for patients seeking a more natural texture and look.
-
Saline Implants
Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater and inserted empty, allowing for smaller incisions and volume adjustments during surgery. They are often a great choice for patients who prioritize flexibility, cost-effectiveness, or want peace of mind knowing that a rupture would be immediately noticeable.
Dr. Soler-Baillo will help you determine the best fit for your body, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals.

What Is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the shape, size, and symmetry of the breasts using implants or fat transfer. The goal is not to change who you are—but to help you feel more like yourself.
Studies have shown that breast augmentation can boost self-esteem, increase body confidence, and make women feel more attractive in their own skin. For many, this decision is about alignment—bringing the outside in line with how they feel inside.
You're Not Alone
Breast augmentation remains the most popular cosmetic surgery in the U.S., with continual advancements in implant technology and surgical techniques making the procedure safer, more customizable, and more natural than ever before.
Every procedure at Soler-Baillo Plastic Surgery begins with a comprehensive consultation, including computer-assisted imaging, to help you visualize your results and make informed decisions about implant type, size, placement, and incision location.
Types of Breast Augmentation Offered
1. Scar-Less Breast Augmentation (Transaxillary Approach)
Implants are placed through a hidden incision in the armpit, leaving no visible scar on the breast. This endoscopic technique is ideal for:
-
Patients who are very private
-
Women prone to poor scarring
-
Those planning to breastfeed in the future
2. Periareolar (Nipple) Incision
This incision at the border of the areola allows discreet scarring and precise implant placement. Best for:
-
Women with darker pigmentation or larger areolas
-
Those requiring revision or textured/shaped implants
3. Inframammary Fold (Under-Breast) Incision
Made in the natural crease beneath the breast, this approach offers excellent visibility and control. Preferred for:
-
Patients with mild breast ptosis
-
Silicone or larger implants
-
Long-term implant longevity
Recovery & Implant Longevity
Most patients return to light activity within a few days, and resume full activity within 2–4 weeks. Scar visibility depends on the incision type and individual healing, but most fade significantly over time.
Important Consideration: Implant Longevity
Breast implants are not lifetime devices. While many last 10–20 years or longer, we recommend patients plan to replace or revise implants every 10 years to reduce the risk of complications such as capsular contracture or rupture. Regular follow-ups and imaging (MRI or ultrasound) ensure long-term safety.

Fat Grafting: A Natural Alternative
While not a primary augmentation method for everyone, fat grafting is an increasingly popular option for women seeking a subtle, natural enhancement using their own body tissue. Dr. Soler-Baillo performs stem-cell enhanced fat transfer by harvesting fat from areas such as the abdomen, flanks, or thighs and meticulously injecting it into the breasts.
This technique:
-
Avoids the use of implants or foreign materials
-
Enhances breast volume while sculpting donor areas
-
Produces soft, natural-looking results
However, it may not be suitable for women with low body fat or those seeking a dramatic increase in size.
