If you’ve ever wished your figure looked more balanced or wanted to restore the volume you lost over time, breast augmentation could be the next step in feeling more like yourself.
Whether you’re looking for a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic transformation, Dr. John Layliev customizes every breast procedure to your body, lifestyle, and goals. At Layliev Plastic Surgery in Long Island, we ensure the results feel as natural as they look.
What Is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, volume, and symmetry of the breasts. It can be performed using saline or silicone implants, or through fat transfer, where liposuctioned fat from another area of your body is purified and injected into the breasts.
This procedure is one of the most customizable types of plastic surgery, allowing patients to choose implant size, shape (round or anatomical/teardrop), projection, and placement based on their anatomy and aesthetic goals.
Who Is a Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
You may be a strong candidate for breast augmentation if you are in good general health, have realistic expectations, and want to enhance the size or shape of your breasts.
Ideal candidates often include women who have naturally small breasts, experience volume loss due to pregnancy or weight changes, or feel self-conscious about asymmetry or shape irregularities.
Candidates should not be pregnant or breastfeeding and should have fully developed breast tissue. If you have mild to moderate sagging, Dr. Layliev may recommend combining augmentation with a breast lift to achieve better projection and a more youthful contour.
Smokers will need to quit before and after surgery to reduce the risk of complications and support optimal healing.
What to Expect During Surgery
Breast augmentation is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes one to two hours. Depending on your body and implant choice, Dr. Layliev makes discreet incisions—either under the breast, around the areola, or occasionally under the arm.
The implants are then placed either above or below the chest muscle. This decision is made based on your existing breast tissue, the type of implant, and the final look you’re aiming for. Once in place, the area is closed with care to support a smooth recovery and minimal scarring.
Recovery After Breast Augmentation
After surgery, most patients feel some tightness, swelling, and temporary soreness, but that fades over the first few days. Wear a supportive garment to minimize swelling and help your body heal. Many women return to light activity within a few days and resume everyday routines within one to two weeks.
You will be given detailed aftercare instructions. Schedule follow-ups to monitor healing and ensure your results develop beautifully. The final look improves over several weeks as the implants settle and swelling subsides.
Benefits of Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation can bring real, lasting changes to how you see yourself and move through the world. It creates fuller, more youthful-looking breasts, balances your figure, and improves the fit of your clothes.
Many women describe feeling more confident in their appearance and more comfortable in their own skin. The results are long-lasting, with today’s implants offering improved durability, a natural feel, and a range of shape options to suit everybody.
How Much Does Breast Augmentation Cost?
Pricing varies depending on implant type, surgical approach, and whether other procedures, like a lift, are included. During your consultation, we’ll discuss every detail and provide a transparent estimate tailored to your treatment plan.
While cosmetic breast surgery isn’t typically covered by insurance, Layliev Plastic Surgery offers financing options to help you move forward with care that fits your budget and your life.

Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Augmentation
In most cases, breast augmentation doesn’t interfere with breastfeeding. Dr. Layliev uses techniques that preserve the milk ducts and nerves when possible, and we’ll discuss all your options to support future plans.
Implants are designed to be long-lasting, with many lasting 10-20 years or more. Some patients replace them earlier due to lifestyle changes or cosmetic preferences. We’ll help you monitor your implants over time.
There’s no universal “best time.” It depends on your personal goals, life stage, and whether you plan to have children. We’ll help you think through timing and guide you based on your body and plans.
Some soreness and tightness are normal in the first few days after surgery, but the discomfort is typically manageable. Most patients are surprised by how quickly they return to normal with support and guidance.
Both silicone and saline implants are FDA-approved and safe when placed by an experienced plastic surgeon. The best choice depends on your anatomy, goals, and lifestyle. Dr. Layliev will walk you through your options in detail.

“So Amazing!!”
Today is 2 days post op from having a breast augmentation and lift with Dr. Layliev. I’m already beyond thrilled with my results. Him and his staff are both so thorough and friendly. Truly went above and beyond. His bed side manor as well surgical skill was more than I could have asked for. I also used him for my Botox which I usually get elsewhere about every 6 months and this was by far the best it’s ever come out. The surgical coordinator Jessica was extremely helpful!!! From helping figuring out finances to answering my thousands of questions and even helping me move my surgery date up sooner! I’m so glad I went with this practice. I had two other consults and felt rushed and pressured to make decisions without much information. I highly recommend dr. Layliev!

“Wish I did it sooner”
I was recommended to Dr. Layliev by a friend for a breast augmentation. Dr. Layliev was very knowledgeable and helpful with all my questions and continued to be throughout the process. I did a lot of research on RealSelf and was able to take those pictures to Dr. Layliev so he knew exactly what “look” I wanted. I’m very happy with the results and felt that Jon’s work was impeccable. I feel so much better and more confident in my own skin and any fear I had of looking “fake” is gone! Dr. Layliev made sure that even throughout my healing and post-op appointments, I got all the information I needed and was well taken care of. Overall, it was an easy procedure and it’s all due to Dr. Layliev. My only regrets is that I didn’t do it sooner!
