What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation with implants is a customized surgical procedure that improves the volume, shape and proportion of your breasts, respecting your individual anatomy and physical characteristics.
There is no standard solution. Each case requires a detailed medical evaluation to determine if the procedure is right for you, what type of implant to use and what is the safest surgical approach based on your specific goals.
An informed decision, realistic expectations and specialized medical follow-up are essential to obtain satisfactory, safe and long-lasting results.
Everything you need to know about breast augmentation

Our objective: harmonious and natural results that complement your figure, always prioritizing your safety and health.

Types of breast augmentation incisions
In breast augmentation surgery, implant placement can be performed through different types of incisions. The choice depends on your anatomy, the type of implant and your aesthetic goals.
What type of incision is best for you? There is no single answer. The choice of surgical approach depends on multiple factors, including:
- Implant type and size
- Anatomy of the breast and thorax
- Skin elasticity
- Presence of asymmetry or drooping of the breast
- Aesthetic goals of the patient
Therefore, a personalized medical evaluation is essential. At CPSC, Dr. Sámano will explain which technique allows you to minimize trauma, preserve healthy tissues and achieve the best possible result in your specific case.
Why choose CPSC for your breast augmentation surgery?
Every step is fully covered with no hidden costs so you don't have to worry about anything.

Types of Breast Augmentation Scars
All surgery leaves a mark, but at CPSC we design low, strategic incisions that are hidden under under undergarments. With time and proper care, scars fade significantly.
Scars
high
They form when there is excessive collagen production during healing. They remain above the level of the surrounding skin but usually flatten over time.
Scars
hypertrophic
Thick, raised and often reddish in the first few months. Unlike keloids, they remain within the edges of the original incision and improve significantly over time.
Scars
keloids
Result from excessive scarring that extends beyond the wound area. They have a strong genetic component and require special attention during recovery.
Scars
widened
These scars are usually flat and smooth to the touch, but appear stretched or wider than desired. This usually occurs when there is too much tension on the skin during the closure or healing process.
Scars
Hyper /
Hypopigmented
This refers to scars that heal with a different tone than your natural skin tone. They can be hyperpigmented (darker than the surrounding skin) or hypopigmented (lighter or whiter).
Healing varies from patient to patient and depends on skin type and aftercare. At CPSC, we provide close follow-up and specific recommendations to achieve the best possible result. Specialized treatments are available to help make scars less visible. In addition, sun protection during the first year is key. In breast augmentation, healing is usually quick and uncomfortable; incisions usually close in little more than a week.
Breast Augmentation Recovery Schedule
Recovery after breast augmentation is a gradual and individualized process. Each stage allows to observe progressive changes in the shape, volume and adaptation of the implants.
The medical team at Cancun Plastic Surgery Center (CPSC) oversees every phase to ensure a safe recovery and optimal results.
Times may vary according to the surgical technique, the type of implant, the patient's state of health and compliance with medical indications.
Week 1 (Days 7-10)
It is normal to have swelling, tenderness and a feeling of pressure in the chest.
Relative rest, continuous use of the surgical support, prescribed medication and avoidance of physical effort or sudden arm movements are indicated. The medical team supervises the initial evolution.
Weeks 2-4
The inflammation begins to decrease progressively.
Mobility and autonomy for light activities are increased. The incisions continue to heal and the use of surgical support is maintained according to medical indications.
Weeks 4-6
The breasts begin to take on a more natural shape.
Many patients resume daily activities with greater comfort, always with medical authorization. Sensitivity gradually improves and healing progresses in a controlled manner.
Months 2-3
Residual inflammation decreases markedly.
The implants begin to settle in their definitive position and the scars enter a maturation phase. Moderate exercise can be started under medical supervision.
Months 3-6
The results become more evident and natural.
The shape and volume of the breast progressively stabilize. Sensitivity usually normalizes and most patients resume their normal routine completely.
6 months - 1 year
The results are consolidated.
Scars continue to lighten and soften. The breast presents a stable, harmonious and natural appearance, with medical follow-up as needed.
After 1 year
The final results are long-lasting.
Maintaining a healthy lifestyle and regular medical check-ups contribute to preserving long-term results.
Frequently Asked Questions about Breast Augmentation
Clear answers on safety, recovery and candidacy for your breast augmentation.
Yes, breast augmentation is one of the most studied and performed plastic surgery procedures worldwide. When performed by a certified surgeon and in proper facilities, it is considered a safe procedure. At Cancun Plastic Surgery Center, approved implants, modern surgical techniques and strict medical protocols are used to reduce risks and prioritize the safety of each patient from the initial assessment to the post-operative follow-up.
Like any surgery, breast augmentation with implants carries certain potential risks. These may include infection, bleeding, fluid accumulation, temporary alterations in sensation, capsular contracture or rupture of the implant. Some complications are rare, but should be known. During the consultation, Dr. Victor Sámano explains these risks clearly and establishes preventive measures to minimize them as much as possible.
Breast implants can be placed under the pectoralis muscle or above it, depending on factors such as your anatomy, amount of breast tissue, type of implant and desired aesthetic result. There are also different incision options. At CPSC, the technique is chosen in a personalized way, seeking the best balance between safety, esthetics and healing.
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the procedure. After surgery, it is normal to experience discomfort, pressure or tenderness in the treated area, especially during the first few days. This discomfort is usually temporary and is effectively controlled with painkillers, rest and following medical indications.
Recovery is progressive and varies from patient to patient. Generally, patients can resume light activities in about a week. Intense exercise and physical exertion are restricted for several weeks. Medical follow-up is key to ensure an adequate and uncomplicated recovery.
Changes in the volume and shape of the breast are noticeable immediately after surgery. However, during the first weeks there is swelling and the implants are still adjusting. The final result is usually seen within three to four months, when the tissue adapts and the breast acquires a more natural appearance.
Endoscopic breast augmentation is a surgical technique that uses a specialized camera to allow for more precise implant placement through discreet incisions. In selected cases, this technique can help reduce visible scarring and improve control during surgery. Not all patients are candidates, so its indication is evaluated during the consultation.
Yes. Many patients choose to combine breast augmentation with other procedures, such as a breast lift, tummy tuck or other body contouring surgeries. These combinations are carefully planned to ensure that they are medically safe and appropriate for your aesthetic goals and health conditions.
After surgery, several follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor recovery. A check-up is usually performed during the first week, followed by additional check-ups at one month, three months and six months. These visits allow evaluation of the healing, the position of the implant and the evolution of the result.
Yes, breast augmentation does not affect pregnancy or the baby. However, pregnancy and breastfeeding can change the shape and volume of the breast, even in women who already have implants. For this reason, in some cases it is recommended to wait until the end of pregnancy to maintain more stable aesthetic results in the long term.
