Breast Augmentation Oakland, CA | Plastic Surgery - Michael G. Cedars, MD, FACS, Inc.

Comprehensive Breast Augmentation Overview

Breast augmentation is a tailored cosmetic procedure designed to enhance breast size and shape for individuals seeking aesthetic improvements. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Michael G. Cedars specializes in personalized breast enhancement solutions.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation candidates typically include women who:

• Desire larger breast volume
• Have experienced breast volume loss after pregnancy
• Want to address asymmetrical breast sizes
• Are 18 years or older

Potential Breast Enhancement Outcomes

The procedure offers predictable aesthetic improvements, including increased breast size and potential mild lifting. The most appropriate implant size is determined through a comprehensive consultation, considering individual body proportions and patient preferences.

Surgical Procedure Details

Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia as an outpatient procedure. Dr. Cedars offers three primary incision locations:

• Around the lower half of the areola
• Within the armpit
• Near the breast crease

Implant Options

All implants feature a silicone shell and are available in two primary fill types:

• Saline (saltwater) implants
• Silicone implants, which more closely mimic natural breast tissue

Recommended Implant Placement

For patients with minimal breast tissue, Dr. Cedars recommends placement behind the chest wall muscle. This approach provides better implant concealment and natural-looking results.

Recovery and Aftercare

Patients can expect a structured recovery process. Prescription pain medication is typically used for the first few days, with most individuals returning to light activities within one week of the procedure.
