Breast Augmentation in Visalia, CA

One size does not fit all

Breast augmentation is a very personal decision, and not one to be made lightly. It is a surgical procedure, so it is not without the possibility of complications (though they are rare).

Timing, the desired cup size and the type of implant are just a few of the considerations.

Timing

Augmentation for girls under the age of 18 has become more popular. However, implants don’t last a lifetime so additional operations will be necessary.

Size

It is important that my patients analyze the question of their ideal cup size, and consider that breasts change with age, gravity and each pregnancy. I provide patients with implants to help them truly see how they’ll look at various cup sizes.

Types of implants

Talk with your plastic surgeon about the options: saline vs. gel; round vs. anatomic (tear drop); moderate vs. moderate plus vs. high profile.

Are implants safe

Yes, thanks to advancements in technology and medical testing. The most common complications are a result of anesthesia, medication or blood clotting, which is why it’s important to be open and honest about your medical history with your physician.

Recovery time

Recovery is generally 2 to 4 weeks, but recovery varies by patient.
