Breast augmentation in Walnut Creek is a breast surgery that improves the appearance and increase the size of your breasts using an implant. There are a number of different ways to perform this procedure. During your personalized consultation we will discuss exactly which method is ideal for you and your aesthetic goals.
The placement of the incision is very important to the success of the procedure. The incisions are usually placed along the edge of the areola, in the crease underneath the breast, or in the armpit. These locations result in minimally visible incisions and a great surgical result.
Breast implants are either filled with silicone or saline. Determining which of these is the best option for you is something that we will discuss in detail during your consultation.
Silicone: smooth, textured, form stable, “gummy bear”, shaped, round
Saline: smooth, textured
Your own fat can also be used to augment your breasts or to make subtle changes in addition to implants with a Fat Transfer to Breasts procedure.
The surgery lasts approximately 1.5 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. At the end of the procedure, local anesthetic is administered to the surgical site. This drastically reduces the pain that patients may experience. The incisions are all closed with dissolvable stitches, under your skin, so there are no stitch marks or stitches that need to be removed.
Suggested time off work: 5-7 days
Walking: Encouraged on the same day as surgery
Exercise: Light exercise can be started 14 days after surgery, with full activity 4 weeks after surgery
Other: Soreness of the chest, especially when trying to sleep, may last for 4-6 weeks; breasts continue to soften for 6 months.
