Breast Augmentation Videos

Fat grafting is a great technique for natural breast augmentation (using your fat tissue as opposed to using silicone or saline breast implants). This patient (approximately 5’7″ and 130 lbs) is very happy with her results.

This patient had breast augmentation using saline implants 20 years ago and her results still look spectacular. See for yourself and hear Dr. Rodriguez discuss the specifics of her procedure and her long-lasting results.

This patient, now in her early 30s, had a breast augmentation using 500cc implants when she was in her early 20s. See how her results are holding up 9 years and 1 pregnancy later.

If you are considering breast augmentation, don’t get too focused on a particular implant size, they also come in different configurations. You have a body type that’s your own and although you might want a 350cc implant, for example, the moderate profile might be better suited for you, or the high profile, and you just might have to go up or down a size depending on which profile you pick and your desired result. The size of the implant will play a role, but implant types and placement are of just as much importance in your decision-making process!

Two things matter when it comes to breast implant wrinkling or implant ripples: the consistency of the soft tissue cover and the implant material itself. I know that the issue of implants and visible rippling or wrinkling comes up in implant forums and I often hear it mentioned during consults. In this video presentation, I show both saline and silicone implants so you can see how the wrinkling can appear directly on the implant itself as it’s held up. While silicone is more gel-like, it is not immune to wrinkling. I also discuss the gummy bear implant, which has a very stiff silicone consistency and is recommended for patients with breast reconstruction who have very little soft tissue cover in place.

Breast implants can be quite complicated when it comes to choosing the right fit. For my Breast augmentation patients, one of my roles as a plastic surgeon is to help you choose the best breast implant for your body and for what you want to accomplish. There are more choices to make than most patients originally think and making the right choices is essential to getting the desired result that you’re after.
