Breast Augmentation in Beverly Hills, CA
Natural, balanced, and lasting results from a board-certified plastic surgeon with over 15 years of experience.
Breast augmentation allows you to change the volume, shape and size of your breasts. Beverly Hills plastic surgeon Dr. Neavin can correct the symmetry and aesthetic of the breasts while increasing the amount of visible cleavage. If you are dissatisfied with the size of your breasts, breast augmentation may be perfect for you.
The most popular plastic surgery procedure in the country is breast augmentation, which involves increasing the size and volume of the breasts with saline or silicone implants. Breast augmentation also has one of the highest rates of patient satisfaction, as patients tend to experience a significant boost in confidence after the placement of breast implants.
Am I a Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
The best candidates for breast augmentation in Beverly Hills are healthy women over the age of 18 (for saline implants) or 21 (for silicone implants) that want to achieve one or more of the following:
enhance breasts that have lost volume or shape after pregnancy/nursing
correct asymmetrical breasts
correct and balance different sized breasts (i.e., tuberous breasts)
restore normal appearance to breasts that have suffered trauma or a congenital abnormality
Candidates should have specific and reasonable goals of breast implant surgery and understand the possible (rare) risks. All of this information is covered during a consultation with Dr. Neavin at his Beverly Hills plastic surgery practice.
Benefits of Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation offers transformative benefits that extend far beyond physical enhancement. As a board-certified plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, I’ve witnessed firsthand how this procedure can positively impact my patients’ lives, from their daily confidence to how they present themselves in both personal and professional settings.
Enhances Breast Volume
One of the primary benefits of breast augmentation is the ability to increase breast size in a natural, proportionate way. Whether you were born with smaller breasts or have experienced volume loss over time, breast implants can restore fullness and create the curves you’ve always desired. The enhancement is customizable to your body frame and personal goals, ensuring results that look naturally beautiful rather than overdone.
Improves Breast Shape and Profile
Beyond size, breast augmentation can dramatically improve the overall shape and projection of your breasts. Many women notice that their breasts lack upper pole fullness or have an elongated appearance. Strategic implant placement can create a more youthful, rounded contour with improved cleavage and a more appealing silhouette in clothing and swimwear.
Addresses Volume Loss and Minor Sagging
While breast augmentation primarily adds volume rather than lifting sagging tissue, it can address mild ptosis (sagging) by filling out deflated breast tissue. This is particularly beneficial for women who have experienced volume loss after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight changes. For more severe sagging, a combination approach with a breast lift may be recommended during your consultation.
Improves Self-Confidence
If the size of your breasts is causing you to have low self-confidence or self-esteem, a breast augmentation can fix both and have you feeling more confident in your body and clothes.
Perhaps the most rewarding benefit I observe is the boost in self-confidence my patients experience. Many women tell me they finally feel comfortable in fitted clothing, swimwear, and intimate settings. This renewed confidence often translates into other areas of life, from career advancement to personal relationships, creating a positive ripple effect that extends well beyond the physical results.

Implant Shapes
Implants come in round and teardrop shapes. Round implants have a spherical shape whereas teardrop implants have a gentle sloping curve, similar to a natural breast.
Implant Sizes
Implants are measured in cubic centimeters (cc’s). The most modest implants are about 200 cc’s and the biggest implants are 500+ cc’s. It is very important to consider proportion and balance when selecting implant size. Many women want implants that complement their body type and shape and do not look “top heavy.”
Implant Profiles
Implant profile refers to how far the implant projects from its base on the chest. Implants come in moderate to ultra-high profile. High profile implants are a little narrower, side-to-side, but rounder; moderate profile implants are a bit wider but less full on top.
- Moderate Profile Implant – For patients who want a more natural or small increase in breast volume. It is the lowest profile implant which means they have the slightest projection for a given diameter.
- Moderate Plus Implant – An implant profile in between the medium and high-profile breast implant profile. This implant has greater projection for a given base diameter than the moderate profile and has less projection than the high profile.
- High Profile Implant – Also known as the augmented look, this implant profile is designed for patients who have small ribcages and for women who do not have a lot of breast tissue. It is much narrower than other breast implants and projects more outward.
- Ultra-High-Profile Implant – Ideal for women with narrow chests who want to go bigger. This type of implant offers the fullness and forward projection that most patients are seeking.

Breast Implant Placement Techniques
Dr. Neavin can place breast implants either above or below the pectoral muscle to best achieve the patient’s desired look and feel.
Submuscular Placement
Subglandular placement puts the implant between the breast tissue and the muscle. It provides more fullness and cleavage to the upper breasts. Implants placed in this manner are less likely to shift while exercising. Unfortunately, these implants have a slightly higher risk for capsular contracture.
Subglandular Placement
Submuscular placement positions the implant beneath the chest muscle. Results tend to look more natural with this placement, and it is easier to undergo mammograms. The recovery period is generally longer for women who choose this placement, though it is considered safer overall because of the lowered risk of forming hard scar tissue that causes capsular contracture.
Dual-Plane Technique
The dual-plane technique represents the evolution of breast implant placement, combining the benefits of both submuscular and subglandular approaches. This sophisticated method places the upper portion of the implant under the muscle while releasing the lower portion of the muscle to allow the implant to sit behind the breast tissue.
Advantages of Dual-Plane Technique:
Natural upper pole coverage from muscle
Optimal lower pole projection and shape
Reduced risk of “double bubble” deformity
Excellent results for women with mild ptosis (sagging)
Customizable based on individual anatomy
Balance between natural appearance and comfortable recovery
Considerations:
Requires advanced surgical expertise
Technique must be tailored to individual anatomy
May involve slightly longer surgical time
The dual-plane technique has become increasingly popular among my Beverly Hills patients because it offers the most natural-looking results while addressing individual anatomical considerations. This approach allows me to customize the placement based on your specific breast shape, skin elasticity, and aesthetic goals.
The Surgical Process
Breast Augmentation Surgical Details
Breast augmentation is usually performed on an outpatient basis. Anesthesia is used for the patient’s comfort. To begin the operation, Dr. Neavin makes an incision in the pre-determined location. The incision can be created around the edge of the areola or under the crease of the breast where the breast meets the torso.
Next, Dr. Neavin creates the pocket in which the implant will sit. This pocket may be located either in front of or behind the chest muscle (another decision that is made ahead of time with the patient). After positioning the implant, he closes the incisions with sutures and wraps the breasts in gauze dressings and an elastic bandage or support bra.
Breast Augmentation Recovery & Results
Patients are usually monitored for a few hours after surgery and then released to go home. It is common to experience swelling and soreness during the first few weeks. Following surgery gauze will cover the breasts, and the patient must wear a surgical bra. During the healing process, breast implant patients are encouraged to wear their support bra for at least two weeks to reduce swelling. The healing process is gradual as the position of the implants will initially appear high. As the tissue stretches to accommodate the implant, the breasts will settle and appear more natural looking. It is important to adhere to the exercise restrictions provided by Dr. Neavin as well as take the appropriate time off in order to achieve the best results. You may resume normal activity based on the guidelines given. Please be sure to follow given guidelines as these will ensure a flawless, quick and thorough recovery. A more in-depth review of post-operative instructions and recovery time is provided with the free consultation. Breast implants are long-lasting devices and do not need to be removed or replaced unless there is a complication or the patient no longer likes the way they look.

Breast Augmentation Risks
Breast augmentation is a very safe procedure, particularly when performed by an elite surgeon like Dr. Neavin. All surgeries carry some inherent risks, however. Breast augmentation patients may experience a change in breast or nipple sensation, bleeding, infection, poor scar healing or implant rupture. Dr. Neavin’s commitment to providing quality care continues through the recovery period, so patients should feel comfortable to ask questions to ensure their healing process is progressing normally.
The FDA has recently changed its guidance regarding textured implants, due to an increased risk for developing breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). For the ongoing health and safety of his patients, Dr. Neavin does not use textured implants.
Breast Augmentation Cost in Beverly Hills
Breast augmentation costs in Beverly Hills typically range from $8,000 to $15,000. The cost will vary from patient to patient depending on a number of factors. These factors include the size of the breast implants, the type of implant, and if the procedure will also include a breast lift. Generally speaking, saline implants typically cost less than silicone implants.

| Breast Augmentation (Saline Implants) | $9,000 – $12,000 | Surgeon’s fee, saline implants, anesthesia, facility fees |

Your Breast Augmentation Consultation
Your initial consultation is the perfect time to get clarification on any questions or concerns you may have about breast augmentation. It is also the time to get acquainted with your potential surgeon and determine whether he or she is qualified to perform the procedure. Questions to ask your surgeon about their qualifications include:
Are you board-certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery?
Where do you have hospital privileges?
How long have you been performing breast augmentation?
Is your surgical facility accredited by a national/state-recognized accrediting agency?
Do you have before-and-after pictures I can view?
Your initial consultation is also the time when your plastic surgeon will determine whether breast augmentation is right for you. Your surgeon will evaluate your full medical history and conduct a physical examination of your breasts. He or she will ask you detailed questions about your aesthetic concerns and goals. It is essential that you be candid with your surgeon so he or she can design a treatment plan that achieves the more desirable results. Some women find it helpful to bring photos of their desired breast enhancement outcomes. If you choose to do so, make sure to bring photos of women with a similar body type as yours. Other topics to be covered during your consultation include details of the procedure, potential risks and complications, pre- and post-op instructions and pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will breast augmentation affect breastfeeding?
Most women can successfully breastfeed after breast augmentation. The key factors that influence breastfeeding ability include the surgical approach and implant placement. Incisions made below the breast (inframammary) typically have the least impact on breastfeeding, while periareolar incisions may carry a slightly higher risk of affecting milk ducts.
During your consultation, we’ll discuss your future pregnancy and breastfeeding plans to choose the optimal surgical approach. It’s worth noting that pregnancy and breastfeeding can change breast shape and size regardless of implants, so timing considerations are important.
How long do implants last?
Will I Lose Nipple Sensation?
The sensation can be affected but most women do not lose sensation completely. The surgical technique used and the patients anatomy are just some factors which will determine the changes in nipple sensation.
Is Breast Augmentation Covered by Insurance?
Cosmetic procedures are generally not covered by health insurance. In some cases, women who have undergone a mastectomy might qualify to have coverage. You must speak with your health insurance company prior to moving forward with the procedure.
How is pain managed after surgery?
After breast augmentation, experiencing pain, swelling, and sensitivity in the nipples is considered normal. These symptoms are part of the recovery process following the surgery. To manage discomfort, over-the-counter pain relievers like acetaminophen can be effective. Your doctor might also prescribe specific pain medication. Swelling in the surgical area is expected but should gradually decrease over time, and the scars from the surgery will fade as well.
Does the Procedure Increase Breast Cancer Risk?
Breast augmentation itself does not increase the risk of breast cancer. However, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has identified a possible association between breast implants and anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), a rare cancer of the immune system. This condition, known as breast implant-associated anaplastic large cell lymphoma (BIA-ALCL), occurs more frequently in individuals with textured breast implants. The risk is considered very low, but it’s a significant concern that requires further research to fully understand. BIA-ALCL is not breast cancer, but a type of non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma that can develop in the scar tissue surrounding the implant. Treatment typically involves the surgical removal of the implant and the cancer, and in some cases, chemotherapy and radiation therapy may be necessary. The type of implant fill (saline or silicone) does not appear to affect the risk of developing BIA-ALCL, but implants with textured surfaces have been associated with a higher risk.
Can Breast Augmentation Help Lift Sagging?
While breast implants can add volume and provide a slight lift, they won’t significantly lift breasts that have a considerable amount of sagging. A breast lift can remove excess skin and lift the breast tissue, often in combination with implants to achieve both increased size and a more lifted, youthful position.
Will There Be Noticeable Scars?
Yes, scarring is a natural outcome of breast augmentation surgery. The extent and visibility of the scars depend on the surgical technique used, the location of the incisions, and your body’s healing process. Common incision sites include under the breast fold (inframammary), around the nipple (periareolar), or under the arm (axillary), each leaving its own type of scar. Over time, these scars typically become less noticeable and may fade significantly, but they do not disappear entirely. Proper post-operative care and following your surgeon’s instructions can help minimize scarring.
