What to Know About Breast Augmentation at SGK Plastic Surgery
Breast augmentation remains one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the United States—and for good reason. This procedure enhances breast volume and shape, helping patients achieve better body proportions, improved symmetry, or simply the fuller, youthful look they desire. At SGK Plastic Surgery, breast augmentation is tailored to your individual aesthetic goals with exceptional care, surgical precision, and a strong focus on natural-looking results.
Why consider breast augmentation?
Patients choose breast augmentation for a variety of reasons. Whether you want to restore lost volume after pregnancy, correct asymmetry, or enhance the proportions of your figure, breast augmentation can help you feel more confident and aligned with your ideal self-image. Dr. Sugene Kim understands that this is a personal decision and offers compassionate guidance throughout the process.
Types of breast implants
At SGK Plastic Surgery, we offer a range of implant options, including saline and silicone, as well as the latest cohesive gel (gummy bear) implants. Each type comes with its own benefits and can be further customized by shape, profile, and texture. Dr. Kim will work closely with you to determine the best implant choice based on your anatomy, lifestyle, and cosmetic goals.
What to expect during the procedure
Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia in our fully accredited on-site surgical center. The procedure typically takes about one to two hours. Dr. Kim uses meticulous surgical techniques and carefully selected incisions to ensure minimal scarring and optimal placement of the implants. Whether implants are placed above or below the muscle will depend on your goals and physical characteristics.
Recovery and results
Most patients can return to light activity within a few days and resume more strenuous activities after a few weeks. You’ll receive detailed post-operative care instructions and follow-up visits to ensure healing is progressing smoothly. Final results will emerge over the course of several weeks as swelling subsides and the implants settle into place.
Is breast augmentation right for you?
The best candidates for breast augmentation are in good general health, have realistic expectations, and are seeking to improve the shape and volume of their breasts for personal reasons—not due to external pressure. During your consultation, Dr. Kim will evaluate your goals and help you decide whether breast augmentation is the ideal procedure for you.
