Breast Augmentation in Puerto Vallarta
Breast Augmentation: natural projection and symmetry
Safe enhancement of breast volume through the precise placement of high-quality cohesive silicone gel implants, tailored to the proportions of your body silhouette.
What is breast augmentation with implants?
Breast augmentation or augmentation mammoplasty is a plastic surgery procedure that uses silicone implants to add volume, shape, and symmetry.
Our philosophy prioritizes anatomical safety and natural balance. A successful breast augmentation does not simply consist of choosing the largest available implant, but rather selecting the correct width and projection based on your chest dimensions and pre-existing breast tissue thickness. We avoid disproportionately large sizes that could damage the skin over time or cause back and shoulder pain.
We aim to define an elegant cleavage and a natural silhouette, using highly safe cohesive gel implants that minimize future complications.
What it changes
- ✓Significant increase in cup size and breast volume
- ✓Upper pole projection and cleavage definition
- ✓Symmetry in cases of size differences between breasts
What it does not change
- •Severe breast sagging (requires a breast lift/mastopexy)
- •Long-term natural firmness and elasticity of your skin
- •Underlying shape of the rib cage
What's Included in the Plan?
Breast augmentation surgery with implants addresses several key aspects to ensure your comfort and excellent results:
Cohesive silicone gel
Selection of implants from leading international brands (Mentor, Motiva) featuring stable gels and highly resistant shells approved by health authorities.
Submuscular Placement
Placement of the implant behind the pectoralis major muscle, ensuring a smooth transition and minimizing the risk of capsular contracture.
Inframammary fold incision
Access through a short 4-5 cm incision located right in the fold beneath the breast, which conceals the scar under underwear or bikinis.
* If there is a certain degree of breast sagging, combining a breast lift (mastopexy) with the surgical plan may be recommended.
You may be a candidate if...
- ✓You wish to achieve a defined, controlled increase in your breast volume.
- ✓Your breasts lost volume and firmness after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss.
- ✓You have visible congenital breast asymmetry and want to balance their size.
- ✓Your breast development is fully complete (typically from age 18 onwards).
It is advisable to evaluate alternatives if...
- •Your breasts show severe sagging (ptosis); in this case, a mastopexy is required to lift and remove excess skin.
- •You are looking for a highly subtle enhancement and prefer not to use synthetic devices (evaluate fat transfer breast augmentation).
- •You are an active smoker or have an uncontrolled bleeding or autoimmune condition.
How We Define Your Plan
An individualized clinical evaluation is essential. We analyze your chest width, native breast tissue coverage, and nipple symmetry to select the ideal size and shape of the implant.
“We aim for a proportional result. We measure your body dimensions to plan a safe retropectoral placement.”
We determine the maximum implant width your chest can safely accommodate without crossing the axillary lines.
We measure the thickness of your fat and upper breast tissue to decide if you require submuscular coverage to conceal implant edges.
We select between moderate, high, or extra-high projection based on your expectations and thoracic anatomy.
The Procedure, Explained Simply
A discreet incision in the fold under the breast, minimizing its visibility and preserving the milk ducts.
The implant is placed under the muscle, ensuring greater natural coverage in the upper pole.
Performed under controlled general anesthesia in a hospital operating room for your safety and comfort.
Typically outpatient, returning home the same day after a few hours of post-anesthetic recovery.
Preparing for Your Surgery
Responsible preparation is essential to optimize surgical safety and facilitate a smooth, comfortable postoperative recovery.
Recovery Timeline
Recovery after breast augmentation is gradual. Resting your arms and wearing a compression support bra are essential during the first weeks.
Days 1 to 3 — Care & Pain Management
You will feel tightness and heaviness in the chest, especially if placement was submuscular. You must maintain relative rest at home, avoiding raising your arms above your head.Days 7 to 10 — Suture Removal & Follow-up
We check the healing progress and remove any external sutures from the inframammary incision during your follow-up medical consultation.Week 2 — Return to Work & Social Activities
Most patients return to office work. You must continue to wear the postoperative bra 24/7 and avoid lifting objects weighing more than 3 kg (approx. 6.6 lbs).Months 1 to 3 — Softening of the Implants
The implants begin to settle into their final position, and the tissues gradually soften, yielding a much more natural feel and appearance.

Breast Augmentation Cost: What Determines the Budget
The cost of a breast augmentation with implants should not be defined generically or without a prior medical evaluation. Each surgical quote is individualized and depends on the specific details of your case.
During your clinical evaluation, Dr. Uriel Muñoz will assess your anatomy and define a tailored surgical plan. The final quote of the procedure is determined based on the following factors:
- •Brand and technology of the implant (ergonomic gels, textured or smooth shells).
- •Combination with other procedures, such as a breast lift (mastopexy) or liposuction.
- •Operating room fees at a certified, safe hospital.
- •Fees for the anesthesiologist, surgeon, and postoperative follow-up consultations.
