‍Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is one of the most requested procedures in Monterrey and throughout Mexico. This surgery enhances the shape, volume, and symmetry of the breasts, tailored to each patient’s anatomy and expectations.

With Dr. JJ Ruiz, a board-certified plastic surgeon, breast augmentation is performed following the highest standards of safety and professionalism.

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Augmentation mammoplasty is a surgical procedure that involves the placement of breast implants to improve the size and shape of the breasts. It is ideal for women who wish to:

• Increase breast volume
• Correct breast asymmetry
• Restore lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss

The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically lasts between 1 and 2 hours, depending on each case.

Types of Breast Implants

There are different types of implants, selected according to the patient’s anatomy, aesthetic goals, and medical recommendations.

Silicone Implants

• Soft, natural texture
• More realistic feel similar to natural breast tissue
• Available in various shapes and sizes

Saline Implants

• Filled with sterile saline solution
• Adjustable during surgery
• Lower risk of rupture, though slightly less natural to the touch

Factors to Consider When Choosing Implants

• Body anatomy and proportions
• Level of physical activity
• Desired aesthetic results
