Los Angeles Breast Augmentation
Women who desire larger breasts may wish to have a Los Angeles breast augmentation procedure. This procedure may also be indicated for women who have one breast that is noticeably smaller than the other.
Dr. Teitelbaum is a Los Angeles cosmetic surgeon specialing in breast augmentation.
Breast augmentation is intended to give the patient larger and more shapely breasts. A more positive self image may also be a result of breast enlargement.An incision is made either underneath the breast just above the crease, around the lower edge of the areola (the pigmented area surrounding the nipple) or in the armpit.
Augmentation is done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. A small incision is made under the breast and a saline breast implant is inserted under the breast tissue or under the breast tissue and the underlying muscle.
The patient goes home in an elastic bra. The bra helps hold the breasts in the correct position. Initial discomfort is controlled with oral medication. Sutures are usually removed in 7-12 days. Light activities can be resumed as tolerated and aerobic activities can be started in about 3 weeks. Moving or sliding the implants within the breast pockets during the postoperative period may reduce the frequency of wrinkling.
