Breast Augmentation in Los Angeles

Call 310.550.6300 to schedule a consultation

Women choose to have breast augmentation for different reasons. Some desire larger breasts. Others want to replace breast contour that is often lost during pregnancy. In the procedure, an implant is placed underneath the breast tissue. Sometimes it is placed under the chest muscles. The choice of implant position is based on the shape of your current breast, the amount of breast tissue and overall body size. Incisions are made in one of three locations: Under the nipple, under the breast or in the underarm. Again, the choice of incision position is based on current body and breast shape. Silicone breast implants were recently approved by the FDA, and you can read more about this and other facts about breast augmentation by visiting our Breast Augmentation Information Center.

During your consultation at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, your plastic surgeon will examine you and discuss recommendations for implant and incision placement to yield the best results. The procedure is usually done as an outpatient, under general anesthesia administered by a physician anesthesiologist to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Most patients have very little pain following the surgery as well because long-acting local anesthetic is administered as part of the procedure. Most patients return to work about a week after surgery. There may be some bruising for a week or so and some swelling for a few weeks following surgery.
