Southern California Breast Enhancement

Southern California is home to some of the world's top plastic surgeons. With so many qualified surgeons, how do you choose? It may help you in your search if you are already familiar with breast enhancement procedures. A surgeon can make an incision in the armpit or the bottom of the areola (the dark area surrounding the nipple). Another method involves making an incision where the bottom of the breast meets the chest. Breast enhancements can also be inserted through the belly button with an endoscope. This procedure is called TUBA (transumbilical breast augmentation).

Breast enhancements are now filled with saline, a saltwater solution, instead of silicone. This is a safer option because if the implant were to rupture, the saline would be harmlessly absorbed into the body. Silicone on the other hand is damaging to the body and difficult to remove completely if it leaks. Breast enhancement surgery has some possible risks just like any other surgery. There is a risk of infection, excessive scar tissue formation, permanent breast sensitivity loss and other issues. On the positive side there is no evidence that breast enhancements cause cancer, affect pregnancy, interfere with fertility, or impede your ability to nurse a child.

It is important to find a doctor who is not only qualified, but that you feel comfortable with. This will help your breast enhancement procedure to go as smooth as possible.
