Breast Augmentation in Santa Maria

If you’re considering breast augmentation in Santa Maria, you’re not alone. Breast enhancement remains one of the most popular plastic surgery procedures in the U.S.—and for good reason. Whether you want to increase breast size, correct asymmetry, or restore volume after pregnancy or weight loss, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Charles Chalekson offers expert care and personalized results tailored to your body and goals.

At Charles Chalekson, MD Plastic Surgery, we combine advanced surgical techniques with a compassionate approach to help you feel confident, supported, and empowered throughout your journey.

Why Choose Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation—also called augmentation mammoplasty—is a customizable cosmetic surgery procedure that enhances the size, shape, and balance of your breasts. It can help you:

• Increase breast volume and fullness
• Restore breast shape after weight loss, pregnancy, or aging
• Improve symmetry between breasts
• Refine the overall contour of your body
• Achieve a more proportionate figure

Whether you’re looking for a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic transformation, our team in Santa Maria will guide you through the best options for your lifestyle and anatomy.

Types of Breast Implants We Offer

Choosing the right implant is a key part of your breast enhancement plan. We offer all FDA-approved implant types:

• Saline Implants – Filled with sterile saltwater; inserted empty and filled during surgery for flexibility
• Structured Saline Implants – Include an internal structure to create a more natural feel
• Silicone Implants – Pre-filled with cohesive silicone gel, offering a soft, natural texture that closely resembles breast tissue.
• We also offer fat transfer breast augmentation, a natural alternative that uses liposuction to collect fat from another part of your body (such as the abdomen or thighs), which is then transferred to the breasts for more modest enhancement.

Do I Need a Breast Lift with My Augmentation?

If your breasts show signs of significant sagging (ptosis), you may benefit from combining your breast augmentation with a breast lift (mastopexy). This combined procedure can restore volume and elevate the breast position in a single surgery for a youthful, rejuvenated appearance.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Augmentation Surgery

You may be a candidate for breast augmentation if you:

• Are in good general health
• Have fully developed breasts
• Are dissatisfied with your breast size, symmetry, or shape
• Are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding
• Have realistic expectations and are doing the procedure for yourself

During your breast augmentation consultation with Dr. Chalekson, he will review your medical history, assess your anatomy, and help you determine the best surgical plan.

What to Expect: Your Breast Augmentation Procedure

• Location: Performed in our fully accredited surgery center in Santa Maria, CA
• Anesthesia: General anesthesia
• Duration: Typically 1–2 hours
• Incisions: Carefully placed in the breast crease, around the areola, or in the underarm
• Placement: Implants may be positioned above or below the chest muscle or under the pectoralis fascia.

Our focus is on safety, symmetry, and beautiful, natural-looking results. You’ll go home the same day with post-op instructions and a follow-up schedule to support your recovery.

Breast Augmentation Recovery & Results

Most patients return to light activities within 5–7 days. Swelling and tightness are normal and will subside over several weeks. Full recovery and final results typically become visible around the 3-month mark.

Breast implants are long-lasting, but they may need replacement or revision after 10–15 years, depending on your body and preferences.
