Types of breast implants
We offer several types of implants and breast augmentation options to suit your body type and goals:
Saline breast implants
Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater and offer a slightly firmer feel. They can be adjusted for size during surgery, giving you precise control over your breast volume.
Silicone breast implants
Silicone implants are known for their soft, natural feel that closely resembles natural breast tissue. They create smooth contours and a realistic look that blends seamlessly with your body.
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
Fat transfer uses your own purified fat (typically from the abdomen or thighs) to add subtle volume and improve your breast shape without implants. If you’re looking for modest enhancements, this approach may be right for you.
Candidates
Breast augmentation may be right for you if:
- You want to add volume or improve the shape of your breasts
- Your breasts feel out of proportion with the rest of your body
- You’ve lost fullness due to weight changes, pregnancy, or aging
- You’re bothered by uneven breast size or shape
- You’re at a stable weight and in good overall health
Breast augmentation may not be the best option if:
- You’re currently pregnant or breastfeeding
- You’re planning significant weight changes in the near future
- You have certain medical conditions that could affect healing

What to expect
Your consultation
You’ll meet with Dr. Shektman to talk through your goals, review your medical history, and explore implant options that suit your body and vision.
Surgery day
You’ll arrive at our Joint Commission–accredited surgical center, where our team keeps you comfortable and supported. Breast augmentation typically takes one to two hours, and Dr. Shektman will carefully place your implants to create balanced, natural-looking volume.
What to expect during recovery
- First few days: You’ll head home the same day, wearing a supportive surgical bra. Mild soreness and swelling are normal, and light movement supports the healing process.
- 1–2 weeks: Discomfort fades, and many patients feel ready to return to desk work and light routines.
- 4–6 weeks: Swelling continues to improve, your breasts begin to settle, and you can slowly resume more activity with Dr. Shektman’s approval.
- 6 weeks and beyond: Your final shape continues to refine, revealing soft, proportionate results.
