Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation with saline, silicone, or gummy bear implants using dual-plane placement technique at Seattle Plastic Surgery Center. Performed by Dr. Craig Jonov or Dr. Tarak Patel. Mentor MemoryGel BOOST and MemoryShape implants are available. Endoscopic visualization is offered for precise pocket creation. Sessions run approximately 60 minutes. The facility is JCAHO-accredited and all procedures are performed under monitored anesthesia. Pricing starts at $4,995 for saline implants, with silicone and shaped gummy bear options available at higher price points.

Breast augmentation at Seattle Plastic Surgery Center is performed by Dr. Craig Jonov (board-certified cosmetic surgeon) and Dr. Tarak H. Patel (double board-certified in plastic surgery and general surgery), offering patients access to two skilled surgeons with complementary approaches. The procedure uses the dual-plane technique — placing the implant partly beneath the pectoralis major muscle and partly in the subglandular space — which is associated with a more natural appearance and lower risk of the implant edge being visible or palpable in thin patients. The center uses Mentor MemoryGel BOOST silicone implants (round, cohesive gel) and Mentor MemoryShape gummy bear implants (anatomically shaped, form-stable), in addition to saline options for patients who prefer adjustable or more budget-accessible implants. Endoscopic visualization is available for precise pocket creation during the procedure, enabling the surgeon to confirm accurate tissue plane dissection under direct vision through a small camera rather than relying on tactile feel alone. This technique can reduce hematoma risk and improve implant positioning accuracy. The JCAHO-accredited facility meets Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations standards for ambulatory surgical facilities. Sessions typically run about 60 minutes under general or local-plus-sedation anesthesia. The four implant tiers — saline ($4,995), standard silicone ($6,495), gummy bear round ($7,495), and gummy bear anatomical ($8,495) — allow patients to select based on their aesthetic goals and budget. Combination procedures such as augmentation with lift ($10,995) are also available for patients with ptosis who need both volume and position correction.
