Patients love the internal mesh bra breast augmentation – and here’s why:
The patient featured in this video needed a breast lift and a larger silicone implant exchange (800cc). To ensure long-lasting support and a lifted appearance, Dr. Rodriguez used DuraSorb®, a bioabsorbable surgical mesh that acts like an internal mesh bra, providing temporary structural support during the healing process.
The result? High, beautifully positioned implants with better projection, higher lift, and only a minimal, well-hidden scar around the areola!
In this video Dr. Rodriguez delves into the key differences between regular and extended tummy tuck scar, illustrating his points with real patient before and after photos to help guide you in choosing the right procedure for your desired goals.
This patient came to me concerned about her heavy eyelids infringing on her eyelashes. While she was thinking of an eyelid lift, she ended up choosing an endoscopic browlift, which sometimes is a better option to rejuvenate and refresh the eye area. She’s also had a lip lift to address her upper lip getting “thinner” with age. The results are a very marked change in her appearance and she’s happy with the results!
The Crescent mastopexy is a type of Breast lift that is perfect for situations where only a small lift is needed. I use it exclusively for small breast lifts because of the well-disguised scar! It works especially great for women who have breastfed and for patients with mild asymmetry issues.
If you are considering breast augmentation, don’t get too focused on a particular implant size, they also come in different configurations. You have a body type that’s your own and although you might want a 350cc implant, for example, the moderate profile might be better suited for you, or the high profile, and you just might have to go up or down a size depending on which profile you pick and your desired result. The size of the implant will play a role, but implant types and placement are of just as much importance in your decision-making process!
This patient, now in her early 30s, had a breast augmentation using 500cc implants when she was in her early 20s. See how her results are holding up 9 years and 1 pregnancy later.
This patient had breast augmentation using saline implants 20 years ago and her results still look spectacular. See for yourself and hear Dr. Rodriguez discuss the specifics of her procedure and her long-lasting results.
Fat grafting is a great technique for natural breast augmentation (using your fat tissue as opposed to using silicone or saline breast implants). This patient (approximately 5’7″ and 130 lbs) is very happy with her results.
In this video, Dr. Ricardo Rodriguez highlights how Motiva implants use a unique nano-texture designed to behave like a textured implant, how they may help reduce capsular contractor, and why they’re a promising option for breast augmentation patients seeking long-term safety and natural results.

This African American lip lift patient requested the remaining distance between the bottom of the nose and the top of the upper lip to be 8mm, shorter than the average 12 to 15 mm, but it totally works for her. See her progression from surgery day pre-op markings through her 1-week and 2-week post-op visits.
