There are several important considerations when it comes to choosing breast implants for your desired breast augmentation result - size, shape, and implant material. Breast implants have a silicone shell on the outside with a choice between two different fills: silicone cohesive gel or sterile saline water. Both are designed to accommodate different shapes and sizes that vary the amount of forward breast projection and width of the implant accordingly. At your personal breast augmentation consultation, our top breast augmentation surgeon will meet with you to determine the look that you are looking for. He will then do an exam and take measurements to determine and give you the best recommendations on the breast implants to achieve your desired result. Once you are ready to get a breast augmentation in Scottsdale, schedule your free consultation with Dr. Guerra to get the process started!
We evaluated all the breast implants on the market today and we have chosen to use Mentor Breast Implants and Natrelle Breast Implants for all of our breast augmentation cases.

Breast augmentation incisions are made to be as inconspicuous as possible, usually under the breast, around the lower part of the nipple or the armpit. All breast augmentation skin incisions are noticeable, although some are less noticeable than others. Some patients are better candidates for one type of incision versus another because of skin composition, texture, and color. For good-looking results, the vast majority of silicone gel breast implants are inserted via the crease under the breast incision.
We highly recommend you schedule a personal consultation with Dr. Aldo Guerra to determine your options.
When the breast augmentation incision is made below the breast in the crease, there are several advantages:

The Keller Funnel® is considered state-of-the-art technology for the placement of silicone gel breast implants and was designed to ease the placement of silicone breast implants through standard breast augmentation incisions. The funnel is a simple device which gives a patient undergoing breast implant surgery significant advantages for achieving solid long-term results. For the plastic surgeon, the funnel provides 5 very important advantages when performing breast augmentation or breast lift with silicone gummy bear breast implants:
I desire a gentle filling out of my breast in a way that is completely natural with no excess fullness in the upper pole of my breast. I understand that perhaps a bigger implant could potentially be used but my wishes are more for a conservative augmentation.
I would like the biggest implant that can be used without creating a breast which has an unnatural look, i.e. an excess rounded appearance in the upper pole of the breast. I do not want it to be obvious that I have had a breast augmentation.
I desire a larger breast augmentation and do not mind if it has a mildly unnatural look, i.e. a noticeably rounded contour in the upper pole of the breast.
I want to use the biggest implant possible knowing that it will create a very augmented look and it will be obvious that I have had a breast augmentation.

Our philosophy includes guiding patients to explore reasonable options for breast implant size, usually two to three similar sizes, which allows the patient to visualize how different volumes affect their breast cup size. Make sure to view our breast implant gallery phoenix area patient photos. The most accurate guide for a final breast implant size is derived using measurements from the patient’s own breasts and chest. Once these measurements are considered then options for sizes can be presented. We employ a volume sizing system of breast sizers to demonstrate how these different volumes will look on a patient’s body. This method offers good reliability and is simple to use.
It is interesting to note many studies on breast implant outcomes have identified inappropriate size as a common reason to exchange breast implants after breast augmentation. In most situations, patients wish to increase their cup size while a lesser number wish to downsize the cup size. We believe that with careful planning before surgery, most patients can avoid a second surgery to achieve the desired cup size.
We highly recommend a free personal consultation with Dr. Aldo Guerra to determine your desired breast cup size.

Below the pectoral muscle breast implant placement is recommended.
Sometimes, breast implants can be seen under the tissues and in some situations, wrinkling and rippling can be seen at the breast surface when implants are placed under the breast gland. Therefore, placement of implants under the pectoral muscles is recommended in patients with underdeveloped breast tissue to avoid these situations. In general, breast implants placed under the pectoral muscle are supported better and experience less sagging with weight changes, pregnancy, and aging. In our experience, breast augmentation recovery from sub-pectoral breast augmentation is similar to sub-glandular breast augmentation. There are some advantages of placing breast implants under the pectoral muscle:
Breast implants can also be placed over the muscle, under the breast gland. Patients with adequate breast tissue can be good candidates for this procedure. Possible advantages of sub-glandular breast augmentation include:
For patients who wish to have this look, this is the recommended procedure. After breast augmentation surgery, sub-glandular breast implant placement patients are at greater risk of having scar contracture around the implant and may experience more sagging with aging. Patients can also consider an anchor pattern breast lift in Scottsdale to give them long term results as well. Dr. Aldo Guerra can help give you options for the best cosmetic procedure for you depending on your desires.

Welcome to Scottsdale, where recovery meets relaxation.
Since we specialize in breast augmentation in Arizona we have a top post-op team that will help you recover quickly and get you back to your normal routine ASAP. Dr. Aldo Guerra, Best Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon 2026 winner from Arizona Foothills, is our highly rated breast surgeon in Arizona. Our medical assistants are compassionate and talented with extensive experience working in the field of plastic surgery, and will assist you in your recovery. This amazing team of professionals will make sure your breast augmentation recovery is as safe and smooth as possible.
Let’s get it started.
The Breast Recovery phase lasts about 2 to 5 days and focuses on post-op comfort. Once you arrive at home, you can begin taking prescription medications such as muscle relaxants and oral pain medications. There is a constant amount of pressure in the breast area after breast implants and muscle relaxants have been proven to work effectively. The combination of prescribed pain reliever and muscle relaxant is noteworthy for creating the most positive experience after surgery. A number of patients can stop the pain medication after 2 to 3 days and can typically return to some activity, including light-duty work. Certainly, by 5 days after breast surgery the vast majority of patients have resumed limited work activity.
This is the most important phase.
After 5 days, you begin the Breast Renewal phase. This is the most important phase of the entire recovery process and involves a great degree of patient participation. The breast renewal phase focuses on breast shape and expansion by allowing the implant to settle appropriately. After the implants are placed, regardless of size, every patient must create additional space to accommodate their breast implants while making the breasts grow. Since there is not enough room initially, breast implants will appear high on the chest, and the breast may also look flat.
It is important to begin breast massaging in order to relax the breast tissue and pectoralis muscle, reduce swelling, and allow the breast implants to settle into place. An additional tool employed is a breast band which will assist in implant settling.
Breast massaging starts on or about day 5 of the breast renewal phase and is performed for at least 5 minutes per side, twice a day. Initially, the massaging is done gently in the first few days, but by the second week a more vigorous massage technique will be encouraged. These breast massage techniques must continue to be performed by the patient in the comfort of their own home for a minimum of 6 weeks. All of these massage techniques are taught after surgery by our postoperative team. The Breast Renewal phase lasts until 3 months after surgery and overlaps with the Return to Activity phase of the recovery process.
Back to your normal routine.
We allow patients to begin a gentle return to more vigorous activity after 14 days from breast augmentation surgery. This is when the Return to Activity phase officially begins. Before this time, we encourage breast massaging and avoidance of vigorous exertion. Once this phase begins, patients are allowed to perform limited physical activity like aerobic exercise and light weights. When performing aerobic exercise, we recommend not raising your heart rate above 130 beats per minute. In some cases, if a patient wishes to perform a particularly strenuous activity, it is better to call our office and check with us first.
Never looking back!
Patients are considered healed from their breast augmentation surgery when the breasts have fully expanded to their desired cup size or when their breast implants have fully settled into place and the patient has been fitted for a regular bra. When this occurs, we tell patients they are cleared to live a completely normal lifestyle. We call this the Clearance Phase. The rate of healing is based on each individual’s ability to heal and the size of the breast implants placed. For some patients, especially those with elastic breast skin, such as women with a history of having children or breastfeeding, the expanding of their breast cup size and the settling of the breast implants occur at a faster pace. On the other hand, patients without a history of pregnancy who have tighter skin should expect implant settling and breast expansion to proceed at a slower pace.
We have also noted through our vast experience using breast implants that implant sizes less than 400 cc will more readily settle. On the contrary, if your implants are larger than 400 cc then settling and breast expansion will occur at a slower pace. Therefore, patients with increased elasticity and implants less than 400 cc can expect to be cleared to full activity around 6 to 8 weeks. Patients with tighter skin and/or very large implants more than 400 cc can expect to be cleared and settled in 8 to 12 weeks after breast augmentation surgery.

Our patients are seen at the office within the first three days after surgery. Typically, you will average 5 Post-Operative visits during your breast augmentation recovery. A member of the team will assist you with making all of your Post-Operative Appointments prior to your breast augmentation surgery.
Our patients are instructed to call our office at (480) 568-2523, at which time a member of our after-hours on-call service will contact the doctor and have them call you back within 15 minutes. We have someone on call 24 hours a day.
You can take a shower 48 hours after your breast augmentation surgery. You may remove the gauze, but do not remove the white tape on the incisions.
Ice therapy is very beneficial if applied for 20 minutes at a time with 20-40 minutes in between each application. It is ideally used within the first 72 hours. Using ice decreases post-operative inflammation (swelling), which in turn decreases post-op pain.
After having a Breast Augmentation, you can start wearing a sports bra that hooks in the front / back or wear a Coobies-style bra within 5-7 days after surgery. You can find great selections of sports bras online, and we carry the Coobies in our office.
For breast implant surgery, you will receive an antibiotic, an anti-nausea medication, a narcotic pain reducer, and a muscle relaxant. For efficacy, we recommend that patients alternate the pain medication with the muscle relaxer every 4 hours to maintain a consistent level of medication in their system to avoid any pain spikes. We recommend patients stay on a continual dosing schedule through 24 hours for the first 1-3 days then eventually wean off of the narcotic pain medication. If you have a breast lift with an augmentation, we recommend that our patients continue taking the muscle relaxer at least every night before bedtime for the first 30 days after surgery to assist in decreasing the amount of muscle spasms that may occur. In doing so, this will help to bring the breast implants down quicker. We also recommend that for patients who have a tendency not to tolerate narcotic pain medications, taking the anti-nausea medication 30 minutes prior to their pain medication will decrease the risk of nausea/vomiting.
Your breastband will be given to you at your first Post-Op visit in the office. A member of the Post-Op team will teach you how to properly wear it. The Band is worn high in the front above the implants and low in the back to induce counter pressure to help the implants drop into place. The breastband is typically worn for 24 hours a day for the first 1-2 weeks, then for 12 hours a day for the next 2-3 weeks to ensure a good result.
When you feel you can react in an emergency situation AND do not have any narcotic pain medication in your system.
Scar massage is taught to each patient during post-op visits by a member of our Post-Op team. Scar tissue forms whenever there is an incision made in the skin. As scar tissue heals, it tends to contract and get thick. We know that the nature of scar tissue as it’s healing is to contract, but we also know that scar tissue is very malleable and trainable. Because of this, we teach scar massage to help our patients achieve a good outcome with their scars. By placing pressure on scars or by rubbing/massaging them, the fibrous tissue gets broken down and trains the scar tissue to heal more flat. The more frequently it gets massaged, the flatter the scars will heal. This process takes anywhere from several weeks up to 6 months, at which point scar tissue matures and becomes more permanent.
Depending upon specific supplements, within two weeks post-op you can resume Vitamins and Herbal Supplements.
We encourage every post-operative patient to start walking short distances as soon as they arrive home from surgery. Typically, we like you to keep your Heart Rate under 100 Beats Per Minute (BPM) within the first two weeks. At three weeks, you can increase your Heart Rate to 130 BPM and at four weeks, you can gradually work back into your normal regimen. Please be sure to ask your Post-Op team member specifics about your workout schedule.
You can usually wear your normal underwire bra 6-8 weeks post-operatively.

I recently had a BA done in September and choosing Dr. Aldo and his team was the best decision!!! They are with you every step of the way and I am in love with my results. Don’t be afraid to go with the bigger option they suggest for your body 😉🫶🏻
From start to finish my experience was absolutely great Dr. Guerra had a very warm, welcoming, kind, and professional demeanor the entire time. I’m very happy with the results of my surgery. And felt I was given very clear pre-op and post-op instructions. He listened to what results I was looking for and what I wanted. I never felt pressured or influenced to go in another direction, I highly recommend Dr. Guerra if you’re considering breast augmentation. you won’t be disappointed. I know I wasn’t and neither was my boyfriend!
I had a breast augmentation done by Dr Guerra the beginning of this year. I did a lot of online research prior to my decision but kept on going back to Dr Guerra’s website. I only had one consultation and I knew he was the Dr for me. I was immediately happy with my results and I know it will only get better as I still continue to heal. Dr Guerra and his staff were very professional and kind and listened to exactly what I wanted. The whole process was seamless and they made everything very easy. Dr Guerra even called me after the procedure to see how I felt. I would absolutely recommend Dr Guerra for any cosmetic procedure
Many patients choose to combine other plastic surgery procedures during a breast augmentation. Tummy tuck in Arizona and liposuction are popular add-on procedures for our patients that get a breast augmentation. The breasts can also be lifted with a breast lift at the same time as a breast augmentation for those patients that are candidates. When we combine a tummy tuck and breast augmentation, we call it a Scottsdale mommy makeover.
