Breast augmentation options at our West Palm Beach–area practice
Dr. Goldberg offers three implant types and a fat transfer option and helps each patient choose the approach that fits her frame and goals. The main breast augmentation options are silicone implants, saline implants, gummy bear implants, and fat transfer augmentation.
Silicone implants
Silicone implants are pre-filled with a cohesive gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. Many West Palm Beach patients choose silicone for its natural feel, particularly those with less existing breast tissue.
Saline implants
Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water after placement, which allows for a slightly smaller incision. They are a well-established, cost-conscious option that Dr. Goldberg reviews with patients during the consultation.
Gummy bear implants
Gummy bear implants are form-stable silicone implants that hold their shape and retain the gel even if the shell is disrupted. They are often chosen for a stable, teardrop-style contour.
Fat transfer (natural) augmentation
Fat transfer augmentation uses liposuction to move a patient’s own fat to the breasts for a modest, natural increase in size without implants. It suits patients seeking a smaller change. You can compare all approaches in more detail on Dr. Goldberg’s breast augmentation service page.
Implant placement: over or under the muscle
Breast implants can be placed either under the chest muscle (submuscular) or over the muscle (subglandular). Under-the-muscle placement adds tissue coverage that helps conceal the implant edge and may lower the risk of visible rippling. Over-the-muscle placement can mean an easier recovery.
Dr. Goldberg recommends the placement that fits your anatomy, tissue, and lifestyle during your consultation.
Is breast augmentation right for you?
Good candidates for breast augmentation are healthy adults who want more breast volume, better proportion, or restored fullness, and who have realistic expectations. Dr. Goldberg confirms whether breast augmentation is appropriate for you during a private consultation. Patients commonly consider breast augmentation to:
- Increase breasts that feel too small for their frame
- Restore volume lost after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight change
- Improve balance when one breast differs in size or shape from the other
- Feel more comfortable in clothing and swimwear
- Combine augmentation with a breast lift to raise and reshape the breasts at the same time
Your procedure and recovery
Breast augmentation is typically an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia that takes about 1 to 2 hours, and most West Palm Beach patients return to light activity within about a week. Dr. Goldberg places implants through discreet incisions, most often in the crease beneath the breast, and closes them with dissolving sutures.
In the first days after surgery, mild swelling, tightness, and soreness are normal and are managed with a supportive surgical bra and prescribed medication. Many patients return to desk work within about a week, while strenuous exercise and heavy lifting are usually avoided for several weeks. Recovery timelines vary from patient to patient, and Dr. Goldberg will give you individualized guidance.
Breasts look larger right away but initially sit high and firm. Over the next 3 to 6 months, they settle into a softer, more natural position. Because South Florida living means frequent sun exposure, Dr. Goldberg advises protecting healing incisions from the sun to support the best possible scar appearance.
Breast augmentation incision options
Dr. Goldberg most often uses the inframammary incision, placed in the crease beneath the breast, because it stays hidden under a bra or bikini top and gives precise control over implant placement. Breast augmentation incisions can be made in more than one location, and Dr. Goldberg reviews the options with you during your consultation.
- Inframammary (under the breast): hidden in the natural crease and Dr. Goldberg’s most common choice; it leaves a fine 1- to 2-inch scar that is easily concealed.
- Periareolar (edge of the areola): camouflaged where the darker areola skin meets the breast skin; very small areolas may not be suitable for silicone implants.
- Transaxillary (armpit): avoids a scar on the breast, but Dr. Goldberg generally does not use it because it can interfere with lymph node evaluation and tends to position the implant high.
Risks of breast augmentation
Breast augmentation is generally safe, but like any surgery, it carries some risks, which Dr. Goldberg reviews with every patient before surgery. The most common risks of breast implants include bleeding (hematoma), infection, capsular contracture (a tightening of the scar tissue around the implant), implant rupture, rippling, and implant malposition.
These complications are uncommon, and Dr. Goldberg takes careful steps during and after surgery to reduce the risk. Modern breast implants also carry manufacturer warranties that cover replacement implants and, in many cases, a portion of the surgical fees if an implant ruptures.
Breast augmentation cost in West Palm Beach
The cost of breast augmentation in the West Palm Beach area depends on the implant type, surgical plan, and whether a breast lift is combined with the procedure. Dr. Goldberg’s team reviews pricing openly during your consultation, and your personalized quote is confirmed once your surgical plan is set. Financing options are available to help make treatment manageable.

Breast Augmentation in West Palm Beach: Frequently Asked Questions
How much does breast augmentation cost in West Palm Beach?
Breast augmentation cost in the West Palm Beach area depends on the implant type, the surgical plan, and whether a breast lift is combined with it. Dr. Goldberg’s team reviews pricing openly at your consultation and confirms a personalized quote, and financing is available.
Which is better, silicone or saline implants?
Neither implant is better for everyone. Silicone implants feel more like natural breast tissue, while saline implants allow a slightly smaller incision and are often more cost-conscious. Dr. Goldberg helps each patient choose based on her breast tissue, frame, and goals.
What implant size should I choose?
The right implant size is the one that suits your frame and goals, not a single “best” size. During your consultation, Dr. Goldberg measures your breasts, reviews goal photos, and lets you try implant sizers so you can preview your result before surgery.
How long is recovery after breast augmentation?
Most patients return to desk work within about a week and resume strenuous exercise after several weeks. Breasts settle into their final position over about 3 to 6 months. Recovery varies by patient, and Dr. Goldberg provides individualized guidance.
Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation?
Many women can breastfeed after breast augmentation, particularly when the incision is placed in the crease beneath the breast. All breast surgery carries some risk to future milk production, so tell Dr. Goldberg if breastfeeding is important to you so she can plan accordingly.

Yes. Dr. Goldberg’s practice offers financing options for breast augmentation, which the team reviews with you during your consultation along with transparent pricing.
