General information about Encino breast enhancement.
Breast enhancement (or breast augmentation) is a frequently performed in encino procedure. Encino Breast enhancement is performed to increase the size of breasts, restore breast volume which may have diminished following pregnancy, or improve breast asymmetry. In some patients who developed breast sagging (ptosis), a breast lift may be required.
During your consultation with us, you will be able to estimate what volume you desire using standard volume breast implants. The final volume will be determined based on your desired volume and your chest/body anatomy. Our goal is to create enhanced and naturally appearing breasts.
What kind of breast implants do you use for breast enhancement in Encino?
In most patients we use round smooth saline-filled implants in Encino. Saline is salt water, which is what most of human body is made of. Therefore, saline is harmless. Silicone breast implants are only available to women participating in approved studies (for example, women who undergo breast reconstruction following surgery for breast cancer). Breast implants used for breast enhancement have different widths and amount of projection. We will discuss the different types of Glendale breast enlargement implants with you and choose the type that will produce the desired cosmetic result.
How is Encino breast enhancement performed?
For Encino Breast enhancement we place a small incision under the breast, around the areolar (pigmented circle around the nipple), or in the armpit. The choice of the incision will be discussed with you and will depend on your preference and your anatomy. A pocked is created under the muscle where an implant is then placed. In most patients we use general anesthesia for breast enlargement. However, local analgesia and sedation can be used in some patients.
What is recovery like following encino breast enhancement?
Your initial discomfort will be controlled using pain medications. You will wear a support bra for several weeks.
We use absorbable sutures that do not need to be removed. Most swelling will resolve within several weeks. You will be able to start performing more vigorous exercises with your arms in about 4 weeks after surgery. Within several months the breasts will soften and improve in appearance.
