Breast augmentation has always been one of the most popular procedures at my Naples, FL, practice, and my patients have plenty of options to customize their procedures. Below, I’m sharing some trends I see in my practice as a board-certified plastic surgeon who regularly performs breast augmentation for Fort Myers women and those throughout southwestern Florida.

Top Breast Implant Choices

When it comes to selecting breast implants, my Fort Myers and Naples patients frequently choose smooth, round cohesive gel implants, also known as “gummy bear” implants. Popular options include Mentor® MemoryGel BOOST™, Natrelle® INSPIRA® SoftTouch, or recently FDA approved Motiva SmoothSilk implants for their low rupture and capsular contracture rate. Because breast implant selection is such a highly personal choice, I offer a full range of saline and silicone breast implant options to accommodate every woman’s unique needs and preferences.

Implant Incision

My patients and I agree, the preferred incision is in the inframammary fold, the natural crease beneath the breast. This approach has the lowest risk for capsular contracture (a condition where scar tissue hardens around the implant), resulting in a discreet scar that remains hidden even when arms are raised. I leverage my extensive breast surgery expertise to meticulously place your scars so they are barely visible over time.

Implant Placement

Breast augmentation patients from Fort Myers and Naples tend to be active and physically fit, which is one of the reasons I prefer the subfascial pocket technique. This method places the implant beneath the connective tissue (fascia) layer over the chest muscle. It’s a favored approach because it minimizes the risk of motion disturbance, referred to as breast animation deformity (BAD) or contraction distortion. This deformity happens when the implant is placed under the muscle and the pectoralis muscle contracts and moves the implant. This can be especially distressing for active women.

Smaller Breast Implants

In recent years, many Florida women have shifted their preferences toward choosing smaller, more proportionate implants that naturally enhance their body frame rather than dramatically increasing breast size. This trend reflects a growing emphasis in plastic surgery on achieving subtle, balanced results that emphasize symmetry. As a breast surgeon committed to creating beautiful, natural-looking outcomes, I fully embrace this aesthetic shift.

Breast Augmentation With Fat Transfer

Women seeking a natural alternative to implants are increasingly requesting an approach known as breast enhancement with fat transfer. This innovative technique uses liposuction to harvest fat from unwanted areas, such as the abdomen or thighs. The fat is then purified and injected into the breasts for a modest increase in breast size. Natural breast augmentation offers the dual benefit of subtly enhancing breast volume while contouring targeted areas of the body—which is why so many Florida women consider breast fat grafting a win-win.

A Customized Approach

While aesthetic trends come and go, one thing remains constant: the importance of selecting a surgeon who truly understands your goals and concerns and customizes treatment to complement your body frame, lifestyle, budget, and preferences. As a top, trusted cosmetic breast surgeon serving Fort Myers, it’s my privilege to help you achieve your dream transformation with care, compassion, and precision.
