Quicktime required! To install, click here. Breast Augmentation in Los Angeles improves the size and appearance of the breasts. Women choose breast augmentation because they feel their breasts are too small, there is a discrepancy between the size of the breasts, or for further reconstruction following other breast surgery. For women who are physically healthy as well as realistic in their goals, breast augmentation can provide an effective cosmetic enhancement. Breast implants are filled with either saline or silicone. Because of the current restrictions established for silicone implants by the Federal Drug Administration, we are using silicone implants only for women who are participating in controlled studies. Recent studies from major national and foreign institutions demonstrate no association between auto-immune disease or breast cancer and silicone breast implants. Further studies in progress will provide us with more information on this subject. During your consultation, we will review all of the medical issues associated with the breast augmentation procedure. We are currently using saline implants with great success. |

There are three possible locations for the incision: under the breast, around or within the areola, (the pigmented tissue surrounding the nipple), or within the armpit. The implants are placed either under the breast tissue or under the pectoralis major muscle and breast tissue. Incision sites and implant placement depends on a variety of factors, one of which is patient preference. Surgery is performed with the patient fully asleep under general anesthesia. The procedure takes approximately two hours to perform. Sutures are removed in one week. Regular exercise may be resumed after four weeks.
