How does Dr. Li approach breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation at LA Breast & Body pairs implants with honest sizing guidance: Dr. Wai-Yee Li is a breast specialist who spends her surgical life reconstructing breasts and correcting implant problems, so sizes and placement are chosen to look natural and age well — judgment and safety over glamour.

Breast augmentation enhances the size and shape of the breast with implants. At LA Breast & Body it comes with something rarer than the surgery itself: honest sizing guidance from a breast specialist who has seen — and fixed — every way implants can go wrong.

Judgment first, implants second

Dr. Li spends most of her surgical life reconstructing breasts and correcting problems created elsewhere: capsular contracture, implants too large for the tissue that holds them, results that looked right on a screen and wrong in a body. That experience shapes how she plans an augmentation — implant size and position chosen to look natural and age well, not just to photograph well in the first year.

What a consultation covers

  • Your anatomy and your goals — what your tissue can support comfortably over decades, not just at the reveal.
  • Implant choices — size, profile, and placement, explained plainly, with the trade-offs of each.
  • The long view — implants are not lifetime devices; Dr. Li explains what maintenance, monitoring, and future revision can involve before you decide, not after.

If you already have implants

Problems after a previous augmentation — hardening, malposition, rupture, or simply a change of mind about size — are treated on the revision augmentation page. Women who want their implants out entirely can read about breast implant removal.

For sizing guidance you can trust, book a consultation with Dr. Li or call 626.888.9728.

No. Implants can need monitoring, maintenance, or eventual replacement, and Dr. Li explains what that can involve before you decide — not after.

That is revision augmentation — correcting capsular contracture, malposition, rupture, or size — described on its own page.
