Breast Augmentation West Hills, CA | AESTHETICA LA: Arezou Yaghoubian, M.D., FACS

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size, symmetry, and shape. The technique can address cosmetic concerns such as breast asymmetry, tuberous breast development, or volume loss after weight changes or breastfeeding.

Procedure Options

Patients can choose between two primary breast augmentation techniques:

• Breast Implant Surgery: Utilizing silicone or saline implants placed under breast tissue or chest muscle
• Fat Transfer Augmentation: Removing fat from alternative body areas and strategically injecting into the breasts

Implant Selection Considerations

Selecting the appropriate implant size requires careful evaluation of multiple factors, including body frame, existing breast tissue, and lifestyle activities. Dr. Yaghoubian helps patients choose implants that provide natural-looking, proportionate results.

Surgical Process and Recovery

The breast augmentation procedure is performed under general anesthesia, with incisions strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. Post-surgical recovery typically involves rest, wearing supportive garments, and following precise medical instructions.

Recovery Timeline

• First 24-48 hours: Extensive rest recommended
• Initial week: Limited physical activity
• Follow-up appointments to monitor healing progress

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like any surgical procedure, breast augmentation carries potential risks, including:

• Bleeding and bruising
• Potential sensation changes
• Infection risks
• Implant-related complications

Long-Term Expectations

Breast implants typically require replacement every 10-15 years. Factors such as weight fluctuations, aging, and individual healing can influence long-term results and potential revision surgeries.
