Personalized
Care
A breast augmentation with implants will allow you to choose the size and projection you want for your breasts. Our experience allows us to help you determine which type of implant is right for your aesthetic goals, breast shape, desired breast size, and other personal factors.
Implant
options
There are two types of breast implants, cohesive silicon or saline solution.
Both saline and silicone implants are safe and approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), but our team has opted for cohesive silicone implants exclusively, because they provide more benefits to patients and are proven to be safe and with a more natural form.
The surgical
procedure
Breast augmentation surgery can typically be completed in about one to two hours. General steps to this process include: Anesthesia, Incisions, Implant placement, Stitches, Bandages

Emilio Codorniz
I’ve been feeling great throughout this process; my self-esteem, my image, my vitality, and my energy have all changed because I’m no longer overweight. I’m not as tired anymore, and I no longer eat until I feel stuffed. On the contrary, I’ve learned how to eat properly.
Shantal Maldonado
I spent years trying to lose weight with diets and exercise without success, and it was incredibly frustrating. I reached the point where I said, "I need help." From the moment I had my first appointment with Dr. Pompa, she gave me so much confidence, and I left feeling fully determined to go through with the surgery.
Anahí Ortega
The way the staff at LIMARP works makes you feel like they already know you. It’s not like a typical clinic where you’re treated as just another patient. They make you feel truly welcome. They’re incredibly kind, caring, and supportive. It’s so nice to come to a place where you feel seen and heard.
Sandra Hernández
Before my surgery, I struggled with both hypertension and diabetes. I began noticing results even before the procedure, as the preoperative diet helped me lose some weight. After the surgery, the weight came off quickly, and my life transformed completely. I am no longer diabetic or hypertensive, I no longer need medication, and I no longer feel constantly tired. It has truly been a life-changing, 360-degree transformation.

How is the recovery process after Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Immediately following breast augmentation and when your medical team allows it, you will be able to go home and rest. All strenuous activity should be avoided until further notice, including lifting, bending, or straining. Your plastic surgeon will let you know when it is safe to resume normal activity. He will also provide you with a list of comprehensive post-surgical instructions, which should be followed closely for a successful recovery.
As with any surgical procedure, some level of discomfort is to be expected. This side effect typically begins to diminish after 48 hours and can be managed successfully with prescription medications and over-the-counter pain relievers. During the early stages of recovery, it is common to feel sore, tired, and fatigued.
Residual swelling can linger for up to five weeks or longer after breast augmentation. During this time, the breasts will likely be very sensitive. Scarring typically fades dramatically over the first several months, but your scars will never disappear completely. However, your plastic surgeon will use inconspicuous incision placement to minimize the appearance of scarring.
How is Breast Augmentation Surgery done?
Anesthesia: Breast augmentation can be performed under general anesthesia or under regional anesthesia with sedation. Be assured that the ideal type of anesthesia for your case will be used. Afterward, it is normal to feel tired and groggy, but you will recover in a few hours.
Incisions: Once you are comfortable, your surgeon will create an incision. The type and location will be dependent on your unique needs. However, most incisions are placed in the crease under the breast, the armpit, or around the areola. Your plastic surgeon will strategically place the incisions to minimize scarring.
Implant placement: Once the sites are prepared, the breast implants will be placed. These may be positioned above or beneath the pectoral muscle, depending on your unique case. Our team will discuss your options with you in detail during your initial consultation.
Stitches: After the implants have been placed, the incisions will be closed with surgical sutures. In most cases, absorbable stitches will be used. This means they will fall out on their own during the healing process.
Bandages: Your plastic surgeon may place surgical drains in your incisions to help reduce swelling and inflammation. You will also be fitted for a compression garment which will help support and contour the healing tissues.
