Breast Augmentation in Chicago

Breast augmentation can restore natural balance, add fullness, and boost confidence when your breasts don't reflect your ideal shape. Double board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Dino Mendez considers your body frame, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle and tailors your breast enhancement to create natural-looking results.

What Is a Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, often called a "boob job," enhances breast size and shape using implants or fat transfer.

While a majority of women opt for breast implants, Dr. Mendez also specializes in fat transfer to the breasts for subtle, refined volume or contouring. He discusses your concerns and goals, then designs a treatment plan that complements your proportions and vision.

Your Breast Implant Options

A breast augmentation with Dr. Mendez is never one-size-fits-all. It's a collaborative process where you work together to create a plan that best achieves your desired result, one that is natural and proportionate to your body.

These options include:

Implant Material

  • Silicone implants: Soft, more natural feel and look, less rippling, gummy bear gel

  • Saline implants: Filled after placement, easier to detect rupture, which is rare

Implant Placement

  • Subglandular: Above the muscle

  • Dual-plane: Partially under the muscle

Dr. Mendez performs both based on your preference, anatomy, and goals.

Incision Location

  • Inframammary fold: Breast fold, most common, best concealed

  • Peri-areolar: Inferior border of areola

  • Trans-axillary: Armpit

A Combined Approach

Depending on your goal, Dr. Mendez may suggest combining your breast augmentation with a breast lift (mastopexy) to correct sagging when needed. If you're seeking a comprehensive transformation after pregnancy or weight loss, your breast augmentation may be a component of his popular mommy makeover surgery. Women seeking a mommy makeover may opt for enhancements such as a tummy tuck or liposuction. It's a fully customizable procedure based on your unique needs.

What Our Patients Say

5.0 stars out of 374 reviews

If you’re considering a tummy tuck or mommy makeover, I can’t recommend Dr. Mendez enough. I had a 360 tummy tuck with muscle repair, and from my very first consultation, I knew I was in great hands. I went into surgery with a lot of fears and questions, and Dr. Mendez took the time to answer every one of them. He never made me feel rushed and always made sure I felt comfortable and confident moving forward. What really sets Dr. Mendez apart is the care he provides after surgery. He personally called me the morning after my procedure to check on me, and throughout my recovery, I was able to text him anytime I had a question or concern. Knowing I could reach my surgeon directly gave me so much peace of mind and made recovery much less stressful. My results have been life-changing. Not only do I love how I look, but I also feel so much better physically because of the muscle repair. My confidence has completely changed, and I feel stronger than I have in years. Dr. Mendez is not only an incredibly talented surgeon but also someone who genuinely cares about his patients. I’m so grateful I found him, and choosing him was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. If you’re thinking about a mommy makeover or tummy tuck, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Dr. Mendez to anyone.

I cannot recommend Dr. Dino Mendez and his team enough! From the very first consultation, I knew I was in the best hands. Dr. Mendez is incredibly knowledgeable and truly takes the time to listen to your goals and concerns. The entire process was seamless. His staff is warm and professional, making me feel comfortable every step of the way. What truly stood out was the level of aftercare; Dr. Mendez went above and beyond and personally followed up with me after surgery to check on my recovery. My results are exactly what I envisioned and I am very happy.

Highly recommend Dr Mendez and his Naperville office staff. They were professional and kind every step of the way. Communication was excellent from my 1st appointment throughout the post-op process. His office staff (Kari, Courtney, and Heather) were amazing and knowledgeable. Would 100% use their services again.

I couldn’t be happier with my breast lift and implant exchange with Dr. Dino Mendez. The pre-op and post-op care was truly exceptional. Every question I had was answered with patience and kindness, and I always felt supported and cared for throughout the entire process. It’s clear that Dr. Mendez and his staff genuinely care about their patients and want them to have the best possible experience. The results have exceeded my expectations. Dr. Mendez is incredibly skilled, and the outcome is beautiful, natural, and exactly what I was hoping for. His attention to detail and expertise truly show in his work! If you’re considering cosmetic surgery, I highly recommend Dr. Mendez. Exceptional care, outstanding communication (I literally texted him after my surgery with questions and he was always very responsive), and amazing results. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Dr. Mendez and your wonderful team!

I can’t recommend Dr. Mendez and his entire team enough! I had a mommy makeover with an implant exchange, and because of a third-degree burn I suffered as a child, my right breast never fully developed. Dr. Mendez had to correct significant asymmetry while also performing a lift, a small reduction, and an areola reduction. His attention to detail is truly amazing, and my results exceeded every expectation. Throughout the entire process, Dr. Mendez treated me with kindness, respect, and compassion, always making me feel comfortable during such a vulnerable experience. His pain management protocol made my recovery far easier than I expected. His staff is just as incredible. They make you feel like family and checked on me regularly throughout my recovery by text, phone, and during office visits. Their level of care goes far beyond surgery. I am 100% thrilled with my results. I now have the confidence to wear the clothes I’ve always wanted to wear. I’m so grateful to Dr. Mendez and his amazing team!
