At our practice in San Diego, breast implants are an excellent way to accentuate feminine curves and restore balance to the body. Women with small breasts, disproportionately sized breasts, or diminished breast volume can all enhance the symmetry, firmness, and size of their breasts through breast implants surgery.
During your initial breast surgery consultation, you will discuss your goals with our surgeon in order to determine the ideal size, shape, and placement method for your breast implants. At our San Diego practice, breast implants can be placed through the belly button, under-arm, nipple, or lower breast crease. Breast implants may be positioned either on top of or beneath the chest muscle depending on the desired outcome. Once in surgery, the doctor places the breast implants carefully, being certain to position them properly to attain balanced results that duplicate the aesthetic characteristics of natural breasts.
Patients who have undergone breast augmentation at our practice are typically very satisfied with their new breast implants. Many times breast implants give women the voluptuous, symmetrical curves they have always wanted, but were unable to achieve without surgery.
Over time, a woman’s breasts can begin to lose firmness and their voluptuous shape due to pregnancy, aging, or both. At our practice in San Diego, breast lift, also called mastoplexy, can be performed to restore youthful firmness, symmetry, and volume to drooping breasts. Breast lift can also be enhanced through the simultaneous placement of breast implants if the patient chooses.
When you arrive at our San Diego practice for breast lift, the surgeon will make detailed drawings on the chest to outline his surgical plan for elevating the breasts. Using techniques that leave minimal scarring, he makes precise incisions to eliminate the excess skin that causes the breasts to appear droopy. Once the stretched tissue is removed, the surgeon meticulously re-forms the breasts in their new, elevated position. If the patient has chosen to augment the lift with breast implants, they are placed at this time. Finally, after the surgeon has successfully achieved balanced, natural-looking results, the incisions are carefully sutured.
Breast lift is an extremely effective procedure for reversing the effects of pregnancy and aging on the breasts. Patients from our San Diego practice who have undergone breast lift are generally thrilled with the improvements to their bust line. In most cases, women are able to regain the youthful look and feel of their breasts with minimal scarring.
Overly large and heavy breasts can cause some women intense physical pain, including back aches, shoulder pain, and skin irritation. In addition to physical side effects, large breasts can attract unwanted stares and comments, and prevent women from fitting into certain types of clothes, which can be emotionally distressing. By undergoing breast reduction surgery, women can achieve a smaller, more proportionate bust line, alleviating the physical and emotional strain that can accompany large breasts.
During your initial consultation with our plastic surgeon, you will discuss the ideal breast size that you would like to achieve through breast reduction surgery. According to those measurements, our surgeon will customize your surgical procedure based upon your breast size, tissue density, and desired end result. Before surgery, he will mark the breasts with guidelines for creating a symmetrical, proportional result with minimal scarring. The surgeon first makes an incision around the nipple and vertically down the underside of the breasts to evenly remove excess breast tissue and fat. Once the appropriate amount of tissue has been removed, he will carefully suture the resized breasts to attain a balanced, natural-looking result.
The medical benefits of breast reduction are important to take into consideration when deciding whether or not to go through with surgery. Patients of our San Diego practice who have had breast reduction surgery generally notice a marked improvement in back and neck pain after the procedure. Many women are very pleased with the more manageable shape and size of their breasts. After surgery, most women typically experience a dramatic decrease in self-conscious feelings and are able participate in a wider range of athletic activities. Many can also wear certain types of clothes and undergarments that they were previously unable to fit into.
