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.
