Breast Augmentation in Los Angeles

What it is

Breast augmentation enhances breast size and shape using implants or, in some cases, fat transfer. The right implant type, size, and placement depend on your anatomy and goals, which is why options are decided together at your consultation rather than from a one-size-fits-all template.

Is this for you?

Breast augmentation may be a fit if you:

• Would like more volume or improved symmetry and proportion
• Are in good general health and have realistic goals
• Are a non-smoker (or willing to stop) and not pregnant or breastfeeding
• Want to discuss implant vs. fat-transfer options with a surgeon

Why Dr. Satey

• Board-certified in general surgery by the American Board of Surgery, with advanced fellowship training in cosmetic surgery.
• 2026 President of the California Academy of Cosmetic Surgery — the youngest surgeon to reach this statewide role.
• A national instructor who trains other surgeons in VASER liposuction and Renuvion techniques.
• An approach focused on natural-looking proportion: “Every patient has a natural silhouette that can be revealed, not created.”

What to expect

1. Consultation. Dr. Satey discusses implant options, sizing, placement, and what is realistic for your anatomy and goals.
2. Procedure. Performed under a tailored anesthesia plan with attention to natural proportion.
3. Recovery. Most patients return to lighter routines within a couple of weeks; your specific restrictions and timeline are reviewed beforehand.

Frequently asked questions

Implants or fat transfer?

Both are options depending on your goals and anatomy. Dr. Satey reviews the trade-offs of each at your consultation.

What size is right for me?

Sizing is decided together based on your frame, tissue, and goals — not a fixed number promised in advance.

How long is recovery?

It varies by patient. Many ease back into routine over about two weeks, with full activity later; your exact timeline is reviewed with you.

How much does it cost?

Cost depends on your goals, the technique used, and what’s involved in your individual plan, so pricing is reviewed during your consultation. Financing options are available.

Is it safe? Who performs the procedure?

Every procedure is performed by Dr. Sean Satey, a fellowship-trained cosmetic surgeon who is board-certified in general surgery by the American Board of Surgery. Your candidacy, anesthesia, and risks are reviewed in detail at your consultation.
