Designed to enhance volume, improve symmetry, and create natural-looking results tailored to each patient’s anatomy and aesthetic goals.
A Note from Dr. Aaron Kosins
Breast surgery represents a significant part of my practice, and achieving excellent results begins with understanding what makes a breast aesthetically beautiful. While surgical techniques can be taught during training, the artistic understanding of breast shape, proportion, and balance is essential for consistently attractive outcomes.
Every woman has different goals for breast augmentation. Some want subtle enhancement, while others desire more upper-pole fullness, improved cleavage, or restoration of lost volume after pregnancy or weight loss. My primary goal during consultation is to fully understand each patient’s preferences regarding size, implant type, incision placement, and overall breast shape.
Once these goals are clearly defined, I can create a personalized surgical plan designed to deliver natural, balanced results while protecting the long-term health of the breast tissues. I take the time to evaluate chest wall measurements, breast tissue quality, and skin elasticity in order to determine the most appropriate implant size and shape. This thoughtful approach helps ensure that the final result looks balanced and remains stable over time.
The Art of Natural Enhancement
Breast surgery is one of the most commonly performed procedures in my practice. My approach focuses on achieving elegant, natural-looking breast proportions while maintaining the long-term health of the breast tissue.
Through advanced surgical planning, modern implant technology, and meticulous surgical technique, I help patients achieve results that complement their body and lifestyle.
Breast augmentation in Newport Beach is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures for women who want to enhance the size, shape, and balance of their breasts. For many patients, the goal is not simply larger breasts, but natural-looking proportions that complement their body and lifestyle.
Choosing the right plastic surgeon is one of the most important decisions when considering breast augmentation in Newport Beach.
Because breast implants may require replacement approximately every 10 years, proper implant selection during the first surgery is extremely important.
Breast Augmentation Treatments & Procedures
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to increase breast size and improve shape using implants. It is one of the most frequently performed cosmetic procedures in the United States.
During breast augmentation surgery, implants are placed beneath the breast tissue or chest muscle to create increased volume and enhanced contour.
While breast implants increase breast size and fullness, they do not significantly reposition the nipple or dramatically reshape the breast. In cases where ptosis (drooping) is present, a breast lift may be recommended in combination with augmentation.
Breast augmentation in Newport Beach is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia, allowing patients to return home the same day. Patients are provided with a structured recovery protocol, and many resume normal daily activities—excluding heavy lifting—within 24 hours.
Many patients find that breast augmentation helps create a more balanced silhouette that aligns with their aesthetic goals.
Selecting the appropriate implant is a key part of achieving optimal results.
Silicone implants contain cohesive gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. These are the most commonly selected implants due to their soft texture and natural appearance. Often referred to as “gummy bear” implants, they maintain their shape even if the outer shell is compromised.

Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater after placement and allow for adjustments in volume during surgery. However, they are less commonly used due to differences in feel and performance.
02
Advanced implant options such as Natrelle® and Motiva breast implants offer a wide range of gel consistencies, sizes, and projections. These implants are designed to provide a soft, natural feel while maintaining long-term durability.

Because every patient’s anatomy is unique, different implants allow for highly customized results.
Choosing the right implant size is one of the most important decisions in breast augmentation planning.
During consultation, aesthetic preferences are discussed in detail to understand each patient’s desired outcome. Final implant size and shape are determined based on:
Reviewing before-and-after photos helps patients visualize potential results and select an implant size that complements their body proportions.
Several incision techniques are available for breast augmentation in Newport Beach. Each approach is selected based on patient anatomy and surgical goals.
Inframammary Incision
Placed in the fold beneath the breast, this method provides excellent visibility and control, making it one of the most reliable options with a low complication rate.
Periareolar Incision
Located along the edge of the areola, this incision may reduce visible scarring but involves passing through breast tissue, which can increase certain risks.
Axillary Incision
Placed in the armpit, this approach avoids scars on the breast itself.
Advanced surgical planning, precise pocket creation, and sterile technique are critical for achieving optimal outcomes.
Recovery after breast augmentation in Newport Beach is often faster than expected due to modern surgical techniques.
Patients return home the same day and are encouraged to begin light movement shortly after surgery. Many are able to resume light social activities within 24 hours.
Weeks 2–4

Final results continue to refine over several months.
To support optimal healing:
Patients considering breast augmentation in Newport Beach may also benefit from complementary procedures, including:
Combining procedures can improve overall proportions and reduce total recovery time.
Ideal candidates are generally healthy individuals seeking to enhance breast size or restore lost volume, with realistic expectations and fully developed breast tissue.
Common options include silicone gel, saline, round, and form-stable implants. Selection is based on anatomy and desired results.
Most patients return to light activities within a few days and resume full exercise within 4–6 weeks.
Many patients return to non-physical jobs within 3–7 days.
Light activity begins within a few days, with full exercise typically resuming after 4–6 weeks.
Discomfort is usually mild to moderate and improves quickly during the first week.
Initial healing occurs within weeks, with final results developing over 3–6 months.
With proper implant selection and surgical technique, results can appear very natural and proportionate.
Breast implants are durable but not lifetime devices. Many patients consider replacement after replacement approximately every 10 years.
Costs vary depending on implant type and surgical complexity. A detailed estimate is provided during consultation.
Yes, depending on implant size, placement, and natural anatomy.
Choosing breast augmentation is a personal decision that benefits from expert guidance and careful planning.
During consultation, patients will:
Patients from Newport Beach, Irvine, Costa Mesa, Laguna Beach, and throughout Orange County and California seek out Dr. Aaron Kosins for natural-looking breast augmentation results.
Some patients considering breast augmentation may also benefit from a breast lift to address sagging or changes in nipple position. In these cases, combining implants with a Newport Beach breast lift can enhance both volume and shape, creating a more youthful and balanced result. Skin quality, breast position, and aesthetic goals are carefully evaluated during consultation to determine whether augmentation alone or a combined approach will provide the most natural-looking outcome.
Results vary by patient and are not guaranteed.
