Orange County Breast Augmentation
Orange County Breast Augmentation Surgery: What to Expect and How to Recover
Breast augmentation is one of the most popular procedures in plastic surgery today… for good reason–the satisfaction rate is tremendously high.
Most women that come into my office interested in Orange County breast augmentation have thought about it for quite some time. My ultimate objective with each patient is to fully educate them about all of the options and have them very clearly communicate to me their aesthetic goals.
My best advice to any prospective patient is to make sure that you feel comfortable with the plastic surgeon that will be treating you. They should fully explain to you, without rushing or compromise, every aspect of the procedure. Their attention to detail should be obvious. Do not ever feel that you are rushed into making a decision–if the surgeon makes sense to you and their work demonstrates skill, you will do wonderfully.

About Orange County Breast Augmentation
Breast Augmentation is performed to increase the size and fullness of the breast. Women whose breasts are disproportionately small, or whose breasts have sagged or “deflated” after childbirth, or who have unevenly-shaped or sized breasts, are candidates for the procedure. If the breasts droop too much, a breast lift procedure may be required in addition to, or instead of the augmentation.
The location of the incisions, under/over the muscle, breast size, choice of implant type and shape are custom designed for each patient based on their needs and their body and breast types.

Orange County Breast Augmentation: What to Expect
The procedure takes approximately two hours. Placement of the implant is usually centered on the nipple-areola. Often, placement above or below the muscle is decided on an individual basis. Likewise, the incisions used to place the implant vary with patient preference and anatomy. The surgery is performed in the office surgical suite under general anesthesia. The size and type of implant to be used, along with their relative advantages will be discussed with your doctor at the pre-operative appointment.
Orange County Breast Augmentation: Recovering
Rest in bed is the order of the day, along with plenty of fluids and no aggravation. During the first week, a brassiere will be fitted and you will be permitted to shower, perhaps as quickly as two to three days post-op. Initially, the breasts will appear to be slightly higher than normal. Over three to six weeks the implant will descend to a more natural position. Also, the chest will feel somewhat sore for the first few days. This should abate very quickly, and by the end of the first week you should be very comfortable.
To enhance the results of a breast augmentation, Orange County residents sometimes couple it with a breast lift, tummy tuck, and/or liposuction.
