Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation (augmentation mammoplasty) can be ideal for patients who desire larger, enhanced breast contours. In addition to increasing the size of the breasts, this operation can also resolve concerns regarding asymmetry, shape, and projection. Under the care of board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Joshua Jacobson, patients can enjoy exceptional, natural-looking results with breast augmentation in Beverly Hills.
What Is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation surgery can involve the placement of breast implants, a fat transfer procedure, or both. This cosmetic surgery is intended to enlarge the breasts and create breast contours that align with the patient’s aesthetic ideals.
Breast augmentation with implants is performed using one of the following incision techniques:
- Inflammatory – This incision is made along the crease under the breast.
- Periareolar – Periareolar incisions are made around the areola.
Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
Women who are physically healthy, have fully developed breasts, and desire larger breasts can be good candidates for breast augmentation. Breast augmentation cannot be done while you are pregnant, and becoming pregnant after this procedure can compromise your results. If you plan on becoming pregnant or breastfeeding, Dr. Jacobson can advise you regarding the optimal timing for your operation.
How to Prepare for Breast Augmentation Surgery
Dr. Jacobson will give you detailed and personalized preparation instructions. You must adhere to these directions to ensure your safety and optimal results.
What to Expect During Breast Augmentation Surgery
For your comfort, breast augmentation surgery is performed with general anesthesia. Once the anesthesia has taken effect, Dr. Jacobson can begin your implant placement surgery or fat transfer procedure, as previously discussed with you during your consultation.
How Much Does Breast Augmentation Cost?
Breast augmentation cost varies based on the types of implants, whether fat transfer is utilized, and other factors affecting specific sizing and contouring. An individualized price can be calculated during the patient’s initial consultation.
What to Expect After Breast Augmentation Surgery
After breast augmentation surgery, you may be advised to wear a surgical bra, which will provide support and help to reduce swelling. A friend or family member will need to drive you home after your procedure. You will also need someone to stay with you for the first 24-48 hours of your recovery to assist you around the house.
After a week or two of downtime, many patients can return to work, though it will still be a month or more before healing is complete. Vigorous activity and heavy lifting should not be resumed for several weeks, as advised by Dr. Jacobson.
