Breast Implant Options in Las Vegas with Dr. Cambeiro

At SurgiSpa in Las Vegas, selecting breast implants is an essential (and fun!) part of a woman’s breast augmentation procedure. Most women don’t realize how many options are available when it comes to breast implant shape, filling, size, and profile. 

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon Dr. Cambeiro offers a full selection so that he can truly customize each woman’s procedure. During your consultation, he will walk you through your choices and give his professional recommendation as to the implants that are best suited to your body, your lifestyle, and the look you want.

Dr. Cambeiro will help you understand all of your breast implant options. To meet with him, request a consultation or give our office a call at (702) 734-4100.

How Do You Choose Breast Implant Size?

During your consultation, Dr. Cambeiro will zero in on the best implant size for you by accounting for several factors, including:

  • Amount of breast tissue you already have
  • Width of your chest
  • Elasticity of your breast skin

He will also ask you to describe in detail what you want your breasts to look like. You can bring in pictures of women who have the look you want or show him cases you like in his photo gallery. Choosing the right size is one of the most common concerns for women thinking about breast augmentation. This is where Dr. Cambeiro’s years of experience and extensive training really come into play for the benefit of his patients.

To give you a better look at the possibilities, Dr. Cambeiro’s surgical assistant will help you “try on” different breast sizes with implant sizers. Many women find this part of the consultation as enjoyable as shopping for new clothes; this is when things really become exciting! We recommend bringing a solid-colored, fitted shirt for this part of your consultation.

Most women want to look natural after surgery and may have concerns about going “too big.” Dr. Cambeiro shares his honest opinion about the benefits and drawbacks of different implant sizes. He also performs breast surgery revision for patients who want to exchange their implants for a different size or type.

You are more than welcome to return any time prior to surgery to make sure you are choosing the right size. Many women bring a friend or family member to help with the decision.

How Do I Choose Between Silicone and Saline Implants?

Dr. Cambeiro offers the choice of breast implants filled with saline or silicone gel. The table provides a detailed comparison of the two types.

Silicone Implants

The majority of patients today choose silicone implants. These implants are available in the U.S. for breast augmentation patients age 22 and older. They have a consistency similar to the inside of a gummy bear (which is why they’re sometimes called “gummy bear” implants). They are filled with a cohesive gel that holds together even if they’re punctured or torn, have a very natural shape and feel, and are less likely so show visible rippling. Dr. Cambeiro offers the complete line of implants from Allergan, Mentor, and Sientra. Choices include:

Highly cohesive silicone gel implants, often called gummy bear implants, include the Sientra® Silimed-brand, Mentor MemoryShape®, and Allergan Natrelle® 410 shaped implants and Natrelle INSPIRA®. They are soft, doughy, and retain their shape even when cut as shown in the video.

Cohesive silicone gel implants, such as Allergan Natrelle® and Mentor MemoryGel®, have stronger shells and thicker filling than silicone implants of the past. This less cohesive gummy bear implant provides a naturally soft and pliable feel.

Saline Implants

Dr. Cambeiro offers saline implants made by Mentor and Allergan, which come in a variety of shapes, profiles, and sizes. The silicone shell may be smooth or textured. Dr. Cambeiro prefers smooth saline implants because textured implants have been associated with visible wrinkling and an unnatural feel. Because saline implants are filled after they are placed within the breast pocket, they are ideal for endoscopic breast augmentation, and the volume can be adjusted after they are inserted. If you absolutely do not want a scar underneath your breast or around the nipple, saline implants can be a good option.

Ten years ago 90% of my patients chose saline implants; now, 90% choose silicone.

Unrivaled Mastery

How Much Do Breast Implants Cost?

Cohesive silicone gel implants (gummy bears) cost about $1,000 more than saline implants. The total cost for breast augmentation ranges from $4,600 to $6,500, including the cost of the breast implants. You will be provided with a personalized estimate during your consultation. If you qualify, our simple financing options may make it easier for you to choose the implants you truly want.

Implant Shape & Profile

Implants of all types are available in round and teardrop shapes. Round implants are most popular because they tend to provide optimal fullness in the upper breast and cleavage. Teardrop implants, also called anatomical or “shaped,” mimic a natural breast shape that gradually slopes with more fullness at the bottom.

Breast implants come in a range of profiles, enabling Dr. Cambeiro to further personalize results for a variety of body types, and natural breast shapes and sizes. The higher the profile, the more the implant sticks out (projects) from the chest; its base will also be more narrow than an implant with a lower profile. In the illustration, the leftmost implant has the lowest profile and widest base; the rightmost implant has the highest profile and narrowest base.

The shaped gummy bear implants are popular with women who wish to have a more natural breast shape.

Patient Experiences: Breast Augmentation
