Advanced Breast Augmentation in Beverly Hills, CA | Glassman Harry A MD

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a highly personalized surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size, symmetry, and overall body proportion. The process involves carefully selected implants tailored to individual patient needs and aesthetic goals.

Procedure Goals and Indications

Patients may choose breast augmentation for various reasons, including:

• Enlarging naturally small breasts
• Balancing asymmetrical breast sizes
• Restoring breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss
• Improving overall body proportions

Implant Options and Considerations

Dr. Glassman offers comprehensive breast augmentation options, including saline and silicone implants. Each implant type provides unique benefits in terms of feel, appearance, and longevity.

Types of Breast Implants

• Saline Implants: Filled with sterile saltwater solution
• Silicone Gel Implants: Designed to mimic natural breast tissue
• Various sizes and shapes available

Surgical Procedure Overview

The breast augmentation procedure typically involves general anesthesia and takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Surgeons utilize precise techniques to place implants either submuscular or subglandular, depending on individual patient anatomy.

Incision Placement Options

• Inframammary: Under the breast fold
• Transaxillary: Within the armpit
• Periareolar: Along the nipple's edge

Recovery and Expectations

Most patients experience mild to moderate discomfort following the procedure. Typical recovery involves minimal downtime, with most individuals returning to normal activities within one week. Strenuous physical activities should be avoided for approximately three weeks.

Potential Risks and Considerations

Like all surgical procedures, breast augmentation involves potential risks such as infection, changes in nipple sensation, and implant-related complications. Dr. Glassman provides comprehensive consultations to discuss individual risk factors and potential outcomes.

Psychological Benefits

Beyond physical transformation, breast augmentation can offer significant psychological advantages, including enhanced self-confidence and improved body image.
