Why Do Women Undergo Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size, shape, and symmetry. Also called augmentation mammoplasty, it involves placing silicone or saline implants beneath the breast or pectoral muscle, creating natural-looking, balanced results tailored to each patient’s goals. When patients meet with Dr. Kim for a private consultation, they often mention these goals:
- To achieve a fuller appearance of their breasts
- To achieve a more pleasing cosmetic equilibrium between their breasts and their hips
- To achieve breast symmetry
- To regain the size of their breasts before pregnancy after they have given birth
Natural Shape & Ripple Resistance
Correctly matching your frame and breast anatomy means enhancements move, sit and age just as naturally as your own tissue would. You also gain peace of mind knowing implants were formulated to minimize rippling risks. At Bellava MedAesthetics, Dr. Kim prioritizes creating breast augmentation results that look and feel completely natural.

Your Breast Augmentation Procedure
Whatever the reason may be for your decision to make the next move and improve your breasts with breast augmentation surgery, various considerations must be addressed, including choosing the best breast implant so that you will achieve the results that you need.
Initial Consultation
A significant number of ladies who are thinking about getting breast implants should not skip the consultation that comes first. During the first session, you will have the opportunity to explain Dr. Kim your own aesthetic goals regarding the size, volume, and general look of your enhanced breasts.
Silicone or Saline Implants
During your consultation, Dr. Kim will help you choose between a variety of silicone and saline implant options, determine the right volume (in cubic centimeters) for your desired size, and discuss implant placement. You may also try on “sizers”, bead-filled neoprene bags worn under clothing, to get a feel for how different implant sizes will look on your body.
Day of Surgery
On the day of your Breast Augmentation Westchester procedure, Dr. Kim and his surgical team will ensure you feel relaxed, comfortable, and fully supported from start to finish. Patients can expect a welcoming environment where safety and precision are the highest priorities.
Before surgery begins, Dr. Kim will review your customized treatment plan, mark incision sites, and answer any last-minute questions. You will then be guided through anesthesia and prepared for surgery with attentive care.
How to Prepare for Surgery
- Arrange transportation to and from our Bedford Hills location.
- Avoid eating or drinking for the specified time before surgery.
- Wear loose, comfortable clothing for an easier transition post-procedure.
- Stop smoking and avoid certain medications as directed to promote healing.
- Prepare your home recovery space in advance with essentials within easy reach.
Don’t Want Implants? Choose a Natural Alternative
For women considering breast augmentation in Westchester without implants, and patients looking for the most indistinguishable results imaginable, Bellava MedAesthetics offers advanced fat transfer techniques. This natural method uses your own fat, carefully extracted and reinjected, to enhance breast shape and volume with subtle, lasting results. Unlike implants, fat grafted breasts age naturally with your body, maintaining a soft, authentic look.
Our experienced Bedford Hills surgeon specializes in both implant-based and fat transfer breast augmentation – if this is an option you want to know more about, you will discuss it with Dr. Kim.

What Is Recovery Like After Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Most are back to regular activities within a week and light exercise within 2-3 weeks as incisions heal and swelling subsides.
Will I Lose Natural Breast Tissue After Augmentation?
No, through small incisions, implants are placed either above or below chest muscles preserving all original tissue for natural contour, movement and appearance. Sensation also remains intact post-procedure. Our Westchester surgical team takes great care to preserve your natural breast tissue during augmentation.
Understanding the Risks of Breast Augmentation
While Bellava MedAesthetics is known for safe, natural-looking Breast Augmentation in Westchester, it’s important to understand that all surgeries carry some risks. Our board-certified surgeon Dr. Kim uses advanced techniques to minimize complications.
Possible risks of Westchester breast augmentation include:
- Temporary swelling, bruising, or changes in sensation
- Scarring, which usually fades and is discreetly placed
- Implant-related concerns such as rupture, capsular contracture, or shifting
- Infection or delayed wound healing, though rare with proper care
Choosing an experienced surgeon in Bedford Hills for breast augmentation ensures easier follow-up care, close monitoring, and fast response should any concerns arise. At Bellava, we prioritize patient safety with detailed pre-operative planning, sterile surgical environments, and thorough post-operative support to reduce risks and safeguard your long-term results.
Ideal Candidates: Is Breast Augmentation Right for You?
Not every patient is suited for breast augmentation in Westchester, so understanding who is most likely to benefit can help guide your decision. Ideal candidates are those who have realistic expectations, and are committed to following pre- and post-operative instructions to achieve safe, lasting results.
You are a good candidate if you:
- You are in good physical condition.
- You are either a non-smoker or you are willing to give up smoking for the amount of time that is specified.
- Your breasts have reached their mature state.
- You do not like the way your breasts look, how big they are, or how they are shaped.

FAQ’s About Breast Augmentation in Bedford Hills
What is included in the initial consultation?
The consultation evaluates your health, goals, breasts, and includes a physical exam. Dr. Kim at Bellava MedAesthetics will discuss surgical procedures, implant options, risks, and create a personalized plan. You can have all questions answered.
What is the difference between silicone and saline breast implants?
Both have soft, natural textures, but saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater while silicone implants have a consistent feel. Westchester County plastic surgeon Dr. Kim helps each patient choose the implant best for her individual body and desired results.
Can breast implants interfere with mammograms?
While implants may obscure views, Dr. Kim is highly skilled at reconstruction and ensures that screenings can still effectively detect changes. Additional views may occasionally be needed, but safety is the priority.
How long do breast implant results normally last?
When placed properly by an expert like Dr. Kim, augmented breasts retain their beautiful shape for 10 or more years on average. However, implants may eventually need replacement as part of routine maintenance. Our Westchester County patients enjoy long-lasting results from their breast augmentation procedures.
