What is Breast Augmentation Surgery?
The goal of breast augmentation is to create beautiful breasts that look and feel natural. Our Plastic Surgeons use silicone or saline implants to increase the size and projection of the breast. They will discuss with you what implant shape, style, and fullness you want in order to achieve your ideal look. Breast augmentation alone does not change the breast’s basic shape, nor does it address breast sagginess (ptosis). In order to achieve their desired results, some patients may need lifting or reshaping of the breast tissue along with the placement of implants. Our Surgeons will address these considerations with you during your consultation.
The Aesthetica Difference
At Aesthetica Plastic Surgery, our surgeons collectively have over 25 years of experience performing thousands of breast augmentation procedures. They utilize tailored techniques designed to deliver natural-looking results that harmonize with each patient’s individual body shape and goals. During your personalized consultation, the surgeon will recommend the best approach for you. We offer a wide selection of silicone implants, including gummy bear implants, allowing us to customize each procedure to meet the specific needs and desires of our patients.
Journey To Confidence
At your consultation, you will meet with our patient care team to review your medical history as well as your goals for surgery. You will then meet with your surgeon to discuss the details of the procedure, recovery and expectations as well as create a surgical plan to achieve natural, youthful results. You will try on implant sizers and review breast implant options to achieve your aesthetic goals. Our office staff will provide you with a surgical quote and assist in scheduling a surgery date.
You will have a pre-operative appointment three weeks prior to surgery. At this appointment, you will sign surgical consents, discuss any last minute questions and concerns, get your pre surgery goodie bag and get further pre- and post-surgery instructions. Photos will be taken at this appointment.
You will arrive at our accredited surgery center about an hour before the procedure begins. You will meet with our incredible surgical team to get you comfortable in preparation for your upcoming procedure. The procedure typically takes about 1-2 hours after which you will recover in our post surgical recovery room until your caregiver arrives to pick you up.
After surgery, you may notice some swelling and inflammation. Make sure you are walking frequently, drinking lots of fluids and getting lots of protein to aid in a smooth recovery.
Bruising and swelling will start within 1-3 days. Make sure to take your Bromelain and Arnica to minimize the effects of bruising and swelling. You may feel tightness, tingling, and numbness that should start to subside over the next couple of weeks. You will need to avoid strenuous activity for the first 2-4 weeks. Make sure to stay hydrated and get plenty of rest to aid in healing.
The breast implants may initially sit high but should soften and settle over time. Final results can take up to 4-6 months as the breasts settle into their optimal position.
Aesthetica Plastic Surgery Reviews
Dr Crofts and his team are all 5 stars. They made me feel very comfortable during everything for my breast augmentation. I highly recommend!
Had a wonderful experience with Dr Crofts and his team! I am 8 weeks post op and recovering nicely from a tummy tuck and breast augmentation. I had help all the way through my recovery from Dr Crofts and his nurses whenever I had questions or concerns. I would recommend Dr Crofts and Aesthetic Plastic Surgery to anyone with plastic surgery needs.
I had my breast surgery with Dr. Curiel, I’m really happy with the results and the entire staff. I highly recommend them without hesitation❤️
I can’t even begin to explain how amazing my experience has been. I am currently 3 weeks post op of my breast augmentation and am absolutely loving my results.To start, Dr. Curiel is very knowledgeable and made me feel unbelievably comfortable through the whole process. He answered everything question I had in detail to ensure I felt comfortable. He explained his whole process, what to expect, risks, etc so I knew what to expect. His bed side manner is amazing.His attention to detail in and out of the operating room is what made me decide to go with him. He wants to make sure his work is executed perfectly. It really showed for me even more on the day of surgery when he went over in the surgery before mine by 3 hours to make sure it was perfect. I knew I was in good hands already but that made me feel even more comfortable to know that he really takes his time.Lastly the staff is absolutely amazing to work with. They are all so very kind and have a way to make you feel even more comfortable and excited.I would recommend Dr. Curiel and his team to anyone and would choose him time and time again. Thank you so much for the amazing work!
I honestly can’t say enough good things about my experience. From the very beginning, I felt completely seen, heard, and taken seriously. I went into this with a lot of questions (and honestly, some nerves), and every single one of them was answered with patience, clarity, and genuine care. That alone made such a difference for me.I’ve struggled with body image for most of my life, so making the decision to get a breast augmentation and lift was a big, emotional step. But this entire team made me feel so supported and comfortable through the whole process. Everyone I interacted with was incredibly friendly, attentive, and just genuinely awesome. You can tell they truly care about their patients and aren’t just going through the motions.I had originally considered going to Mexico for the procedure, but I ultimately decided to stay in my home state so I could have my family close during recovery—and I’m SO glad I did. Having that support system nearby, combined with the level of care I received from this team, made the entire experience even better.Recovery was honestly way smoother than I expected. The pain wasn’t nearly as bad as I had built it up to be in my head, and everything healed beautifully. I felt taken care of every step of the way, which gave me so much peace of mind.Now… I can confidently say I feel more comfortable and confident in my own skin than I ever have before. It’s been such a positive, empowering transformation for me.10/10 recommend. I’m genuinely so happy with my results and so grateful for this entire experience 💕

Will my breast augmentation scars be visible?
There are different incision sites for breast augmentation. The most popular incision is in the inframammary fold of the breast which is usually hidden nicely in the breast fold.
How often should breast implants be replaced?
As breast implants are not lifetime devices, it is recommended they be replaced about every 10 to 15 years.
How much is breast augmentation in Utah?
The price for a breast augmentation starts at $6,000. This price includes anesthesia, operating room facilities, and our surgeons fees. The price varies depending on the type of implants you choose.
Who is a candidate for a breast lift?
Breast augmentation alone does not change the breast’s basic shape, nor does it address breast sagginess (ptosis). In order to achieve their desired results, some patients may need lifting or reshaping of the breast tissue along with the placement of implants.
What are the types of breast implants?
There are 2 main types of breast implants. They are saline and silicone. Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water known as saline. Silicone is a gel filled implant. They come in different shapes and sizes, but both saline and silicone implants have a silicone outer shell.
What are gummy bear breast implants?
“Gummy bear implant” is a nickname for highly cohesive silicone implants. This implant gives more stability or shape as the silicone gel is more strongly crosslinked to provide structure.
Will the sensitivity in my breasts or nipples change after breast implants?
The risk of sensation loss depends on the incision and surgical approach. Incisions in the inframammary fold typically minimize sensation alteration as frequently. Some women may experience sensation changes after augmentation due to swelling and recovery, but after a few weeks, most of the changes will diminish.
What breast augmentation trends are popular among Salt Lake City patients?
