Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure used to create fuller, more shapely breasts with breast implants. Some people refer to the procedure as a “boob job.” At our Orlando practice, breast augmentation candidates should be in good overall health and looking for any of the following benefits:
Dr. Soto performs breast augmentation as an outpatient procedure using a general anesthetic. He first creates a space for each breast implant, called the pocket, either directly behind the breast tissue (subglandular) or underneath the chest muscle (submuscular). Once the implants are in place and Dr. Soto has achieved the desired results, he closes the incisions with sutures and surgical tape. The entire surgery takes around 1 to 3 hours to complete.
No two women are exactly alike, so the “best” breast implants vary. Dr. Soto will walk you through the following choices to help you select the breast implants that are flattering, natural-looking, and achieve the look you want.
Implant sizes are measured in volume (cc), not bra cup size. To determine the size that will provide the look you want, Dr. Soto accounts for your:
The same size implant can look very different on women with different body proportions.
Breast implants are filled with either saline (saltwater) or silicone gel.
Each type has its own unique benefits depending on your cosmetic goals.
This option influences how far the implant projects from the chest and generally ranges from low to high.
Dr. Soto will help you select the right profile for your body and your goals.

Breast implant incisions depend on the patient’s preferences and the kind of implant used. While the inframammary incision is most common, Dr. Soto offers multiple options that achieve different looks and results.
Placed along the breast crease.
Placed along the lower edge of the areola (the darkened skin surrounding the nipple).
Placed in a natural crease of the armpit.
Women who want fuller breasts without using implants have the option of natural breast augmentation with fat transfer. This technique involves using liposuction to collect fat from areas where it builds up (such as the flanks, abdomen, and thighs), purifying it, and injecting it into the breasts. Here is a quick comparison.
Breast augmentation recovery takes about 4 to 6 weeks. Expect some soreness in the first few days, which you can manage with either over-the-counter or prescription pain medication. Your implants may be too high or firm at first, but will soften as swelling fades and tissues relax.
While experiences vary, expect recovery to progress along the following timeline:
Dr. Soto will provide detailed recovery instructions to help make the healing process as smooth as possible.

Yes, Dr. Soto combines breast augmentation with other cosmetic procedures when it is safe to do so. Patients appreciate having multiple concerns addressed with a single surgery and recovery period. Popular options include:
By combining breast and body procedures, often called a mommy makeover, Dr. Soto helps women reverse the changes of pregnancy, breastfeeding, childbirth, and weight loss. He can walk you through your different procedure choices and help find a combination best suited for your body and goals.
Dr. Armando Soto's approach to aesthetic care goes beyond your cosmetic goals; it considers you as a whole—mind, body, and lifestyle. His "stacked" treatment strategy combines surgical and nonsurgical treatments for a synergistic effect, along with lifestyle guidance to enhance, support, and maintain results.
Whether you're considering body contouring or facial enhancement, Dr. Soto's stacked plans deliver transformative results while minimizing invasiveness, trips to the office, and recovery time.
For most women, round silicone implants placed under the muscle are the most natural-looking, balancing the upper and lower body.
Cohesive silicone gel implants are also called gummy bear implants because, much like the colorful candy, they are soft, pliable, and hold their shape (instead of leaking) when cut apart.
These breast enhancement procedures address different concerns. A breast lift corrects sagging, reshapes the breasts and areolas, and elevates them on the chest; it doesn’t change breast size. Breast augmentation makes the breasts larger with an implant; it can correct mild sagging as well. Many women need a combination of breast lift and augmentation to attain full, shapely breasts after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss. If you’re unsure, take our quiz or meet with Dr. Soto for a personal consultation.
Dr. Soto performs explant surgery for women who choose to remove their breast implants without replacing them. During this surgery, a plastic surgeon usually removes the implants and the capsule of scar tissue that forms around the implants, restoring the breasts to their natural size. The procedure is often combined with breast lift surgery to address sagging.
Breast implants don’t last forever, although they can last for 10, 15, or even 20 years. If you’re happy with the way you look and don’t experience complications, there’s no reason to replace them before then. But at some point, most women need to replace their implants in a procedure called breast revision.
Every patient’s recovery is unique. Some women have a higher tolerance for discomfort than others, and that’s true for post-surgical pain, too. Closely follow your surgeon’s post-op instructions to minimize discomfort.
