Santa Monica Breast Implant

Santa Monica- the weather, the beaches, the bodies. If you want to be among the many Santa Monica residents who've tried plastic surgery, particularly breast implants, there are many qualified surgeons in the area to choose from. If you are interested in getting breast implants, there are some things you need to know. If you are concerned about scars you may be interested in a procedure called transumbilical breast augmentation or TUBA. TUBA is considered a virtually scar-less surgery because it inserts the breast implants through the navel using an endoscope. The incision is thereby hidden in the belly button. Other incision methods involve making a cut in the armpit, under the fold of the breasts, or through the areola.

Some doctors prefer to place the implant behind the chest muscle because it lowers the risk of excessive scar tissue forming around the implant. This condition is called capsular contracture. Textured implants are also believed to reduce the risk of capsular contracture. A possible problem with textured implants is that they may give a rippled look to the skin covering it, but this is not always the case. Smooth surface implants are readily available too.
