Is Breast Augmentation Right for You?
Breast augmentation may be an option for patients who want to enhance naturally smaller breasts, restore volume after pregnancy or weight changes, improve breast symmetry, or create a more balanced body proportion.
Many women consider breast augmentation because they want their breasts to better reflect how they feel in their body. Some patients want a subtle, natural-looking enhancement, while others prefer a fuller or more noticeable change. Dr. Peters works closely with each patient to understand their goals and recommend an approach that fits their anatomy, lifestyle, and desired result.
Breast augmentation may be right for you if you are looking to:
- Increase breast volume
- Improve breast shape or proportion
- Restore fullness after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
- Address breast asymmetry
- Feel more confident in clothing, swimwear, or your body overall
- Explore natural-looking implant options
The best way to determine whether breast augmentation is right for you is through a personalized consultation with Dr. Peters.
Breast Implant Options: Motiva, Natrelle, and Mentor
Dr. Peters offers several trusted breast implant options, including Motiva, Natrelle, and Mentor implants. Each implant brand offers different features, shapes, sizes, profiles, and gel characteristics. The right choice depends on your anatomy, skin quality, breast tissue, desired look, and long-term goals.
During your consultation, Dr. Peters will help you compare implant options and understand how each choice may affect your final result. She will discuss implant size, projection, profile, feel, placement, incision options, and whether a traditional breast augmentation or a tissue-preserving approach may be most appropriate.
Rather than recommending one implant for every patient, Dr. Peters creates a customized plan based on your body and preferences. For some patients, Motiva may be an excellent option. For others, Natrelle or Mentor may better support the desired outcome.

Featured Option: Preservé by Motiva
For appropriate candidates, Dr. Peters offers Preservé by Motiva, a modern, tissue-preserving approach to breast augmentation. Preservé is designed to minimize disruption to the breast’s natural structures while supporting a soft, natural-looking enhancement.
Dr. Peters has trained at Motiva’s headquarters in Costa Rica and brings a thoughtful, anatomy-focused approach to evaluating whether Preservé may be right for each patient. This technique may be especially appealing to patients who want a more subtle or moderate enhancement rather than a dramatic increase in breast size.
Preservé by Motiva is designed to help preserve more of the breast’s natural tissue and support structures while creating a refined, natural-looking result. However, it is not the best fit for every patient. During your consultation, Dr. Peters will review your anatomy, goals, and implant preferences to determine whether Preservé or another breast augmentation approach is most appropriate.
Who Is a Candidate for Preservé?
Preservé may be a good option for patients who want a more natural, tissue-conscious approach to breast augmentation. It can be especially helpful for those looking for subtle to moderate enhancement, improved upper breast fullness, or a more balanced shape without dramatically increasing size.
This approach may be a good fit for patients who want:
- A subtle to moderate increase in breast volume
- A natural-looking breast shape
- Smaller implant options
- A first-time breast augmentation
- A tissue-preserving approach
- A personalized plan based on their anatomy
- A result that feels balanced with their body
Preservé may not be the best option for patients seeking a significant size increase, revision breast surgery, or more complex breast reshaping. Patients who need a breast lift or have more significant skin laxity may also require a different surgical plan.
Because every patient’s anatomy is different, candidacy can only be determined during a consultation with Dr. Peters.
What to Expect During Surgery
Breast augmentation is typically performed as an outpatient procedure. The details of surgery depend on your anatomy, implant choice, incision placement, and surgical plan.
For traditional breast augmentation, incisions are commonly placed in the natural fold beneath the breast known as the inframammary fold. Dr. Peters then creates a pocket for the implant, which may be placed beneath the breast tissue or below the chest muscle, depending on your individual plan.
For appropriate candidates, Dr. Peters may discuss Preservé by Motiva as an alternative approach. Preservé is designed to minimize disruption to the breast’s natural tissue and support structures while creating a soft, natural-looking enhancement.
Before surgery, Dr. Peters will review your implant options, incision placement, recovery expectations, and the details of your customized surgical plan so you feel prepared and informed.
Recovery & Consultation
Your breast augmentation consultation is an important part of the process. During this appointment, Dr. Peters will listen to your goals, evaluate your anatomy, review your implant options, and help you understand what type of result may be realistic for your body.
She will also discuss whether Motiva, Natrelle, Mentor, or Preservé by Motiva may be appropriate for your goals.
Recovery after breast augmentation varies depending on the surgical technique, implant placement, and your individual healing process. Most patients can expect some swelling, tightness, and soreness during the early recovery period. Dr. Peters will provide detailed post-operative instructions and guide you through what to expect as you heal.
Your consultation may include discussion of:
- Your desired breast size and shape
- Implant type, size, and profile
- Motiva, Natrelle, and Mentor implant options
- Whether Preservé by Motiva may be appropriate
- Incision placement
- Implant position
- Recovery timeline
- Activity restrictions
- Follow-up care
- Long-term expectations
Dr. Peters’ goal is to help you make an informed decision and feel confident throughout the process.
