Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States, and achieving beautiful, natural-looking results requires a surgeon who understands the interplay between implant selection, anatomical proportion, and artistic vision. Dr. Kriya Gishen tailors every breast augmentation to the specific needs of each patient — whether the goal is to increase size, restore volume lost after pregnancy or aging, improve symmetry, or refine breast shape. Her approach takes into consideration skin tone, chest width, nipple-areolar position, and overall body proportion to create results that look and feel natural. With her Ivy League training and background in fine arts and sculpture, Dr. Kriya brings a uniquely artistic perspective to breast surgery at her Beverly Hills practice.
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that increases breast size and enhances shape using breast implants or autologous fat transfer. Implant-based augmentation involves placing a silicone gel ("gummy bear") or saline-filled implant into a pocket created either above or below the pectoralis muscle, depending on the patient's anatomy and desired outcome. Fat transfer breast augmentation uses liposuction to harvest fat from another area of the body, which is then purified and injected into the breasts for a modest, natural increase in volume. Dr. Kriya Gishen discusses all options in detail during the consultation to help each patient choose the approach that best aligns with their body and goals.
You may be a good candidate for breast augmentation in Beverly Hills if you:
During your consultation, Dr. Kriya evaluates your anatomy, discusses implant types and sizes (or fat grafting suitability), and helps you visualize potential results so you can make a confident, informed decision.
Dr. Kriya Gishen's approach to breast augmentation goes beyond simply placing an implant. With a background in fine arts and sculpture, she views breast augmentation as an exercise in three-dimensional proportion — carefully selecting implant profile, projection, and volume to complement the patient's natural chest width, torso length, and body contour. Her Ivy League education and advanced surgical training ensure technical precision in implant pocket creation and placement, minimizing the risk of complications such as capsular contracture, implant malposition, or visible rippling. For patients who prefer a more subtle enhancement, Dr. Kriya offers fat grafting as a natural alternative or complement to implants.
Breast augmentation is performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. Most patients experience moderate soreness and tightness for the first few days, which is managed with prescribed medication. A supportive surgical bra is worn during the initial recovery period. Many patients return to desk work within one week, though strenuous upper body exercise should be avoided for four to six weeks. Swelling gradually resolves over the first two to three months, and implants settle into their final position — a process known as "dropping and fluffing" — over three to six months.
Many patients choose to combine breast augmentation with other body contouring procedures for a more comprehensive transformation. A breast lift (augmentation mastopexy) can be performed simultaneously to address sagging while adding volume. Patients interested in a "mommy makeover" often pair breast augmentation with abdominoplasty and liposuction to restore their pre-pregnancy body. Dr. Kriya develops a customized surgical plan that addresses all of your concerns in the safest, most efficient way possible.
