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 beautiful, 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 real.

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.
The Consultation, Step by Step
Surgical consultations are not booked online: our patient coordinator sets each one up personally.
- Request a consultation. Call or text (914) 809-9693, or send the consultation request form. Our patient coordinator calls you back to go over what you are looking for and to book a time with Dr. Kim.
- Meet Dr. Kim. Your first consultation is free. He goes through your health and medical history, examines you and listens to what you want in size, shape and look.
- Choose your approach. Dr. Kim explains silicone and saline implants, fat transfer, implant size, incision and placement, and the risks and recovery, and tells you honestly whether surgery is right for you.
- Get your quote. You receive one quote covering the surgeon, anesthesia and the facility together, with financing options if you want them.
- Before surgery. Once you decide to go ahead, the team sets your surgery date and goes through your preparation instructions with you.
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 an Alternative
For women considering breast augmentation in Westchester without implants, Dr. Kim also performs natural fat transfer breast augmentation. Fat is taken from another part of your body by liposuction, purified and placed in the breasts. It gives a more modest increase in size than an implant, and some of the transferred fat is reabsorbed by the body, so a second session is sometimes needed.
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.
How Much Does Breast Augmentation Cost in Westchester, NY?
Bellava does not publish a set price for breast augmentation, because the cost depends on your own plan. Dr. Chang Soo Kim gives you one written quote at a free consultation in Bedford Hills, and it covers the surgeon, anesthesia and the facility together, so there is no separate bill from each. These are the parts that make up the cost:
- Surgeon’s fee: Dr. Kim’s fee for planning and performing your surgery.
- Anesthesia: priced by how long the surgery takes, so a breast lift or another procedure done at the same time adds anesthesia time.
- Surgical facility: Bellava’s own Joint Commission accredited surgical suite in Bedford Hills, rather than a hospital operating room.
- Implant type: silicone and saline implants are priced differently, and natural fat transfer replaces the implant with liposuction, which changes the cost again. Implant size and placement are part of the plan too.
- Post-op garments: the surgical bra you wear while you heal. Your quote shows whether it is included.
Financing: you do not have to pay the whole amount at once. Bellava offers financing through Cherry or CareCredit, subject to approval, and the team can go over monthly options with you when you get your quote.
To get your quote, book a free consultation with Dr. Kim at Bellava MedAesthetics & Plastic Surgery Center, 182 Rte 117 Bypass Rd, Bedford Hills, NY 10507. Call or text (914) 809-9693, or send a request.

The Importance of Choosing an Expert Surgeon
Choosing a trusted plastic surgeon for breast augmentation in Westchester is essential for safety, convenience, and results that feel authentically you. With Dr. Kim, patients benefit from NYC-level expertise close to home, without the stress of traveling several times to New York City.
Our Bedford Hills breast augmentation patients appreciate the blend of accessibility, privacy, and medical excellence that defines Bellava MedAesthetics. Serving Westchester County communities like Mount Kisco, Chappaqua, and Katonah, Dr. Kim provides individualized guidance on implant size, style, and placement to achieve balanced results. By working with Dr. Kim, you gain easier access to pre- and post-operative appointments, ongoing support, and a team dedicated to your long-term confidence and well-being.
What Is Recovery Like After Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Most are back to regular activities within 1–2 weeks and light exercise within 2-3 weeks as incisions heal and swelling subsides.
Will I Lose My Own Breast Tissue After Augmentation?
Breast augmentation adds volume; it does not remove breast tissue. Through small incisions, the implant is placed either above or below the chest muscle, behind your own breast tissue.
Understanding the Risks of Breast Augmentation
While Bellava MedAesthetics is known for safe, well-balanced 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.

Financing is available. Patients come from across Westchester — Mount Kisco, Katonah, Chappaqua, Bedford, Somers and White Plains — and from Greenwich, CT.
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?
Implants may obscure views on a mammogram, so additional views may occasionally be needed; safety is the priority.
How long do breast implant results normally last?
Breast implants are not lifetime devices. Many last ten years or more, but an implant may need to be replaced or removed at some point, and breasts keep changing with age, weight and pregnancy. How long yours last cannot be promised in advance; Dr. Kim goes over what to expect, and the follow-up care, at your consultation.
How long is breast augmentation recovery?
Most patients are back to regular activities within 1–2 weeks and to light exercise within 2–3 weeks, as the incisions heal and swelling goes down. Changes in sensation are one of the listed risks; Dr. Kim goes over the risks with you at the consultation.
How much does breast augmentation cost in Westchester, NY?
Bellava does not publish a set price for breast augmentation, because the cost depends on your own plan. What affects the price: silicone or saline implants (or fat transfer instead of implants), the implant size and placement, whether a breast lift is done at the same time, how long the surgery takes and so how much anesthesia time is needed, the surgical facility, and post-op garments.
