With cutting-edge technology, unparalleled expertise, and a deep appreciation for natural beauty, breast augmentation in Santa Monica is more than just a procedure—it is an art form.
What is Breast Augmentation?
The epitome of a youthful silhouette lies in rounded, supple breasts. However, with the passage of time and the joys of motherhood, the bust may lose its naturally feminine contours. Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the breasts, reinstating ample volume and harmonizing the body's proportions.
Commonly performed with saline, silicone, or Gummy Bear implants, or through natural fat transfer, breast augmentation offers a personalized approach to each individual's desires. During your confidential consultation, Dr. Brian Shafa ensures you are fully equipped with the knowledge to make informed decisions regarding your cosmetic journey.

What is the Best Type of Breast Implant?
Dr. Shafa offers various options for breast implants, each with its own advantages:
Saline implants
Filled after placement, requiring smaller incisions. Dr. Shafa can introduce you to advanced saline implants for a more natural feel.
Silicone implants
Mimic the softness and weight of natural breast tissue, available in diverse sizes and shapes.
