Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation 637577044426355768

There’s no denying it: a beautiful pair of breasts has long been a sign of femininity and womanhood. However, not every woman is content with the breasts she was born with. Here at Kadz Plastic Surgery in Hollywood, California, we offer breast augmentation for women of all sizes and shapes. This elective surgery helps women improve the shape of their breasts, increase their bra size, and ultimately balance out their figure, boosting self-confidence at the same time.

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is the medical term for breast enhancement surgery. This procedure is entirely elective and designed to increase the size and fullness of the breasts with an implant. Many women love the results, which add a more balanced shape, corrects symmetry issues, and gives confidence a sky-high boost. In fact, this elective procedure is perfect for women with cosmetic or medical motivations.

How Can a Breast Enhancement Help You?

Many women choose to undergo breast enhancement surgery for cosmetic motivations, but this procedure can also help address emotional, physical, and medical concerns as well.

Increase Self-Confidence

Women who are self-conscious about their breast size can feel uncomfortable and unhappy even wearing casual clothing, never mind a swimsuit. Breast enhancement is the perfect solution that gives our patients a much-needed boost of self-confidence in themselves and their appearance.

Many of our patients agree that the procedure is quite literally life-changing. For some women, augmentation surgery can restore and replace breast tissue lost during a struggle with cancer. After the procedure, cancer survivors can enjoy full, natural-looking breasts again, even after a full mastectomy.

Improve Your Body Proportions

When it comes to the womanly form, proportions are everything. For example, look at the classic 1950s pinup models. They weren’t ostentatiously or boldy sexy, but their body proportions (hourglass shape, teeny waist, full hips and breasts) absolutely screams understated gorgeousness and perfectly flaunts the beauty of the female form.

While some women may have the waistline or the booty, the effect isn’t complete without the bustline to match. Breast enhancement allows for a gorgeous silhouette by adding fullness and shape to create an aesthetically pleasing appearance. This helps increase self-confidence, giving you that inner glow and radiance that comes from truly loving yourself and your body.

Correct Symmetry

Many women have two different-sized breasts, making it extremely difficult to find bras or swimsuits that fit correctly without extra padding. This is not only a symmetry issue, but it can even cause discomfort or pain. Women with uneven breasts may also feel embarrassed if the two different sizes are noticeable while wearing certain clothing or bathing suits. The augmentation procedure can effectively correct uneven symmetry, making it a cinch to find a cute bra or bathing suit that not only fits but looks flattering, too.

Increase Size and Fullness

Most women who elect to undergo breast enhancement choose to do so because they want increased size and fullness. Feeling self-conscious about a flat chest is totally natural, and many small-breasted women deal with these feelings of unhappiness during their life. That’s why breast augmentation is such a wonderful procedure—it can be life-changing, making it easy to reach the size and shape you’ve always wanted.

How to Customize Your Augmentation

The first and most important step in the process is to set up a consultation with our expert surgeon, Dr. Bruce Kadz, at our office here in Hollywood, CA. The consultation is to confirm that you’re a suitable candidate for the procedure. We will help you choose the right type of implant, determine where the small incision will be located, and discuss any and all questions or concerns you may have.

Determining the Incision Site

As with every other elective surgical procedure, there will be a small incision. However, we work extensively with every patient beforehand to determine the ideal location. It’s also based on the patient’s personal preference to ensure they’re ultimately happy and pleased with the outcome. Dr. Kadz can help you decide which incision is best to help you attain your goals when it comes to your procedure.

Intramammary Incisions

An intramammary incision is located on the underside of the breast, right in the crease where the breast meets the abdominal wall. The intramammary location is a popular choice for our patients because it can easily accommodate larger implants. Another significant benefit of this location is that the incision will be hidden from view, which is why it’s such a popular choice for many of our patients.

Periareolar Incision

The periareolar incision is located along the lower half of the nipple. This incision location is the most common for patients who choose saline breast implants or women looking for a smaller augmentation.

How to Choose the Right Implants

Our patients can choose from the three most common implants that are used during a breast augmentation procedure. These three types are all different, can correct various issues, and are also made from different materials. During the initial consultation with Dr. Kadz, we will guide you through the process from beginning to end. We’ll also discuss your ultimate goals, any concerns or questions you may have, and help determine which implant type is best for you.

Silicone Gel Implants

This type of implant consists of a silicone outer shell filled with medical-grade gel. Silicone implants come in a few different types, which all allow for a slightly different finished look. There are soft implants, firm implants, or ones that look more natural.

The many different shapes and sizes available for silicone implants make them perfect for a boost of confidence and to help you achieve your desired cosmetic and figure goals. Typically, silicone implants tend to be firmer than other implant types, but they’re one of the safest and most reliable implants that provide a natural look and feel.

Saline Implants

Saline implants also have a silicone outer shell but are filled with saline (salt) water instead of gel. Generally, saline is considered the most comfortable and safest implants, which is why they’re one of the most popular implants for women. In fact, many choose saline because they know somebody who chose saline implants and had a great experience with them.

Structured Saline Implants

Structured saline implants are one of the newest types on the market today. Since they don’t use silicone gel, they’re one of the most natural feeling and looking. They contain different shells and inner structures that keep the saline portion away from the outer shell. This helps the implant retain its shape, which is incredibly important.

Implant Position

During your consultations and before the actual procedure, Dr. Kadz will also help you determine the position of your new implants. Of course, we consider your opinion, preferences, and ultimate goals when deciding the optimal position. The two positions you can choose from are under the chest muscle or over the chest muscle.

How to Prepare for the Procedure

The best way to prepare for a breast enhancement procedure is to be ready for the recovery process. It’s critical to take care of your body, eat healthy food, and get plenty of rest so you can have a speedy recovery. Be proactive about your health: don’t binge on comfort or junk food, drink a ton of water to stay hydrated, and get lots and lots of rest.

Am I a Suitable Candidate?

Whether you have medical or cosmetic motivations for undergoing a breast augmentation procedure, you’re most likely a suitable candidate if you’re a healthy adult. We’ll consider your health history, current goals, and expectations during the initial consultation to determine if you’re a good candidate. After that, we can begin the customization process and create a plan to help you attain your self-confidence and figure goals.

If you’re unhappy with your breasts, a breast enhancement procedure can be the answer you’re looking for. Many women suffer from small or uneven breasts, which make them feel self-conscious about their figure. With breast implants, we can correct any cosmetic or medical issue you’re suffering from, helping you achieve your goals. Contact us at Kadz Plastic Surgery in Hollywood, CA, today to learn more about the services we offer or to set up an initial consultation.

Breast Augmentation

Women who focus on looking their best are sometimes insecure about the way their breasts look due to their size, shape, or asymmetrical appearance. How your breasts look impacts your overall silhouette and can make your body proportions appear unbalanced. Some women are self-conscious about their breasts because they look different due to pregnancy, significant weight loss, or simply because of the natural aging process. 

Here at Kadz Plastic Surgery, we offer breast augmentation surgery to help you achieve your desired breast shape and size. 

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is simply the medical term for breast enhancement surgery, which is used to increase the size and fullness of the breasts through the use of implants. Women who have both cosmetic and medical motivations may choose to get a breast augmentation. 

Some women elect this procedure because they’re unhappy with the size and shape of their breasts. Other women choose this procedure because they want to restore breast tissue that was lost due to breast cancer or from a mastectomy. We can help you achieve the perfect size, shape, and fullness in your bustline.

Am I a Candidate for Breast Augmentation? 

If you’re unhappy with the way your breasts look and want to add volume to them, then breast augmentation may be a good option. A consultation with Dr. Kadz can help determine if you’re in good condition for surgery while also being an opportunity to discuss your breast goals and surgery expectations. 

You could be a good candidate for breast augmentation if you: 

  • Are overall healthy
  • Want to increase your breast size
  • Want to improve the shape of your breasts
  • Have fully developed breasts
  • Have asymmetrical breasts
  • Want your breasts to be proportional with the rest of your body
  • Are unsatisfied with the loss of breast volume from pregnancy or weight loss
  • Want firmer breasts
  • Want bras, swimsuits, and clothes to fit your chest better 
  • Have realistic expectations for your results 

Schedule your consultation with Kadz Plastic Surgery to find out if you’re a breast augmentation candidate. 

What Are My Breast Augmentation Options? 

We understand that choosing to get breast augmentation is an incredibly personal decision. There are various options for the type of breast implant, where the incision is made, and where the implants will be placed in the chest. Dr. Kadz customizes each breast augmentation procedure to fit the needs of the patient. He’ll discuss your options during your consultation and listen to what you want. Dr. Kadz can also make recommendations on which breast augmentation options will work best to suit your bustline goals. 

Types of Breast Implants  

The three types of implants offered include saline, structured saline, and silicone. Which implant will work best for you will depend on your medical history and what size, shape, and overall appearance you want your breasts to have. 

  • Saline: Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water. The implants may be filled before the procedure, or they may be filled during surgery to allow for minor changes to be made. 
  • Structured saline: Structured saline implants are also filled with sterile salt water; however, they have a structure inside the implant. The inner structure helps the implant hold its shape and gives the augmented breasts a more natural feel. 
  • Silicone: Silicone implants are filled with soft and elastic silicone gel. These implants feel very similar to natural breast tissue. 

Incision Location

During your breast augmentation, incisions are made so your surgeon can insert the implant into the breast pocket. There are a few locations where the incision can be created: 

  • Periareolar incision: The incision is made around the bottom of the areola. The areola’s pigment typically conceals any scarring. 
  • Inframammary incision: With this option, the incision is made under the fold of the breast. Scars are easily hidden in this location. 
  • Transaxillary incision: This incision is created in the armpit, allowing for optimal scar concealment. 

Implant Placement 

Your breast implants can be placed under or on top of the pectoral muscle. 

  • Under the pectoral muscle: Also known as a submuscular placement, this placement allows for fewer complications with breastfeeding and mammograms. 
  • On top of the pectoral muscle: Sometimes called a submammary or subglandular placement, this option helps the breast implants stay in place and not shift around when you move your chest muscles. 

How Is Breast Augmentation Performed? 

Before your breast augmentation surgery, general anesthesia will be administered so you won’t feel pain during the procedure. Dr. Kadz will create an incision in the chosen location (periareolar, inframammary, or transaxillary) to allow for the breast implant to be inserted. Once the incision is made, he will insert the implant into the breast pocket and make sure it is in the correct position. Once the implant is situated, the incisions will be closed. 

What Is the Recovery From Breast Augmentation Like? 

Everyone’s body heals at a different pace after having breast augmentation. After surgery, we’ll closely monitor you for around an hour to ensure everything is normal. Before you go home, you’ll receive comprehensive aftercare instructions, and we’ll schedule a follow-up appointment with Dr. Kadz. 

You’ll have to wear a compression bra to minimize swelling and assist the healing process. Dr. Kadz may also prescribe medications to help relieve pain. During the initial portion of your recovery, it is essential that you refrain from any strenuous physical activity. Pushing your body too far while recovering from surgery can hinder the healing process. You’ll be able to take short walks, which is recommended to prevent blood clots from forming. Overall, you should focus on resting so your body can recover. Sleep on your back in an elevated position to avoid any pressure being applied to the breasts. 

Make sure to check in with Dr. Kadz throughout your recovery so he can tell you when you are cleared for all activities. 

What Results Can I Expect After Breast Augmentation? 

After your surgery, you’ll be able to see a difference in your breasts immediately. However, the final results won’t be visible for a few weeks since it takes a while for all the swelling to go down. The compression bra that you wear during your recovery will help shape your breasts and settle the implants into your chest. Once you’re fully recovered, you’ll be able to enjoy your newly sized and shaped breasts.  

How Much Does Breast Augmentation Cost in Beverly Hills? 

Your breast augmentation cost in Beverly Hills will depend on several components. When you have your procedure, you’re not only paying for your surgeon’s expertise, but you’ll also need to factor in surgical facility fees, anesthesia fees, and any medical tests prior to surgery. There are also post-surgical costs to consider, such as a compression bra and pain medications. 

What Procedures Can Be Combined With Breast Augmentation? 

Some patients like to take advantage of the opportunity to have multiple procedures done simultaneously. Other procedures that can be combined with breast augmentation include:

Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation can give women with small or unevenly sized breasts a fuller, firmer, better-proportioned look through the placement of implants in the breast. Women may elect to undergo breast augmentation for many different medical and aesthetic motivations, including balancing breast size and compensating for reduced breast mass after pregnancy or surgery.

Recovery

Our doctors employ the latest surgical techniques resulting in minimal or no scarring and faster post-operative recovery time. Recovery after a breast implant surgery varies by individual, but patients are usually able to return home immediately following their breast implant procedure. A return to light or normal activity is possible as soon as you feel ready, usually within a day or two of surgery. Some patients experience soreness and stiffness for the first days to weeks following surgery. A support bra may be recommended for the first week or two. Any swelling or bruising should subside shortly, and the final results of the breast implants will appear around four to six months after the surgery. The surgery itself takes approximately one to two hours.

Breast Implant Size

The size of the breast implants used depends upon multiple factors, including an individual’s desired amount of cleavage, proportion of the patient, and breast implant shape. PARS Institute utilizes and individualized approach in determining the size needed for your case and the type of implant needed to attain your goals. Implants come in a variety of volumes (cc) and, generally, the larger you want your cup size, the larger the breast implant considered. Another determining factor is the patient’s current breast tissue. A breast implant that is too large for your tissue can result in excessive stretching of the skin and result in the need for corrective surgeries. In addition, the implant edges may be apparent or visible post-operatively.

Breast Implant Types

There are two accepted and available breast implant fillers: saline and silicone. Both fillers have been FDA approved to be safe fillers for breast implants. Our doctors are Silicone Certified providers and can help you choose the perfect solution for your individual needs. Saline fillers consist of isotonic watery saline solution (has the same concentration as the normal cells of the body and the blood) and present no health risk to the patient even when ruptured. Chances of rupture are very low, however if ruptured, saline implants will need to be manually removed with surgery.
Silicone implants consist of silicone gel, and have become the filler of choice for many patients as these implants generally have a more natural feel and are softer. Today’s silicone gel breast implants are made differently than they were in the 1970s and 1980s. Initially, silicone gel breast implants had thick shells and thick silicone gel fills. In the 1970s manufacturers began to use thinner shells, which were more likely to rupture. Today, silicone implants are made with multiple layers of silicone elastomer surrounding the implant. This reduces the amount of gel bleed but can make the implants feel and look somewhat firmer, but much softer than saline. If ruptured, some gel bleed may occur and will need to be manually removed with surgery. Again, as with saline implants risk of implant rupture is very low. Unlike saline breast implants, silicone gel breast implants are pre-filled and are ordered in the requested size. Silicone implants cannot be placed endoscopically through a navel incision. Additionally, silicone implants are more expensive than saline.

Implant Shape

In addition to size, you will also be able to determine if you want to reshape your breast. Some implants give the breast a more rounded appearance, while others create a breast shaped like a “tear drop”, known as an anatomical implant. The best implant for you depends on your body frame, how much breast tissue you currently have and your goals. In most cases patients and doctors choose round implants.

Implant Profile

The profile is the forward projection of the implant from the chest wall. For the most part, breast implants come in three profiles: moderate, mid-range, and high. For a woman with a narrow frame, a moderate or low profile implant that might result in a desired size, may be too wide and carry the implant too far to the cleavage and underarm. By using a high profile implant, this patient can get the larger implant she desires. By the same token, a wide framed patient may find that in order to adequately cover the natural diameter of the breast size, the desired implant would have far too much projection. A low or moderate profile might work better. We can explain the best choice for your body frame during the initial complimentary consultation. In most cases a moderate profile is recommended for patients with wider breasts who want more cleavage and less protrusion, and High profile for those patients with petite body frames and narrow breast width who want more frontal protrusion and less extension to the sides.

Incisions & Procedures

The implant placement refers to where the implant is positioned..under the Pectoralis Major (chest) muscle or over it, which places the implant only underneath the breast tissue. In almost all cases we place the implants under the muscle. The breasts feels much softer and look more natural due to a layer of “buffer” (the muscle) covering the implant. Other significant benefits include: the long run opposing force of the muscle against the implant keeps the implant from stretching out the breast skin and a significantly less chance of capsular contracture (less chance implants get hard). Sub-muscular placement creates more tenderness for a short period of time post-surgery, but is worth it.

Incisions and Scarring

Our doctors utilize the latest techniques resulting in minimal or little scarring. The most common incisions include an inframammary incision (near the crease under the breast), an auxillary incision (in the underarm area), or a periareolar incision placed at the edge of the areola (the pigmented skin surrounding the nipple). Incision patterns vary based on the type of implant, degree of enlargement desired, patient anatomy, and patient preference.]]>
