What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a fantastically popular procedure, giving individuals the ability to enhance the size, projection, and shape of their breasts for a more curvy, feminine look.

This procedure is a great way to correct breasts that are too small, address the presence of asymmetry, or simply enable you to see a larger and more curvy body silhouette when you look in the mirror each day.

Plastic Surgery & MedpsaLet's Talk Breast Aug

Two Blonde Women Discussing Something

Breast Augmentation Consultation

Our team of trusted, board-certified plastic surgeons has performed thousands of successful procedures and knows how daunting it can be to get started. With breast augmentation, there are so many choices when it comes to implant type, incision pattern, and implant placement. We take our time to explain the pros and cons of each choice and how each option relates to your unique goals and expressed wishes.

Another aspect of surgery that causes some trepidation is recovery. Our team will go over everything you need to understand about the recuperation process, including how much time you’ll need to take off work, what pain medications will be made available to you, and how soon you will begin to see your results.

Breast Implant Placement Options

Over the Muscle (Subglandular)

The subglandular technique will see your surgeon placing Implants under your glandular breast tissue but over your pectoral muscle. This technique is ideal for patients who enjoy a more athletic lifestyle and who are interested in avoiding the potential for implant distortion during muscular contraction.

Under the Muscle (Submuscular)

The submuscular technique involves your surgeon placing breast implants under your glandular breast tissue and also under your pectoral muscles. This particular technique is typically recommended for those who would like to enjoy more natural-looking fullness in the upper pole of the breasts.

Breast Implant Profile Options

When choosing a breast implant profile, one of our board-certified surgeons will speak with you in detail about your goals for your breasts and for your appearance overall. For instance:

  • Are you looking for natural-looking results or a more dramatic outcome?
  • Is prominent cleavage an important goal for you?
  • Do you prefer a fuller, rounder breast appearance?

High Profile

This implant type offers the most significant amount of projection for a more noticeably “augmented” appearance.

Moderate Profile

Moderate profile implants will provide you with increased volume & roundness, but look more natural with less projection.

Graphic of a Flat Shoe

Low Profile

The low profile breast implant is often considered to be the most natural-looking implant option, with the least amount of projection.

What is the Breast Augmentation Recovery Process?

Most people need about a week of recovery time immediately after their breast augmentation procedure at CosmetiCare in Orange County. You’ll likely be able to return to work within a week, but you’ll need to hold off on intimacy for about two weeks and vigorous activity like running for about four weeks, depending on your surgeon’s recommendation. We’ll ensure that you have detailed aftercare instructions, as well as everything you need to stay comfortable during your recovery process.

Some surgeons also recommend sleeping on your back for about six weeks after surgery to prevent implant deformation. If you’re a side-sleeper and are struggling, your surgeon may recommend using pillows for support. During the consultation before your breast augmentation at CosmetiCare in Newport Beach, one of our board-certified plastic surgeons will discuss the procedure outlining recovery, healing, and realistic expectations so you’re well-equipped to make the best decision.

Enjoying Your Impressive Newport Beach Breast Augmentation Results

After your breast augmentation surgery in Newport Beach, your breasts will begin to “drop and fluff” as the skin stretches and muscles relax, and your implants will move from an initial high position to a more natural position.

Six Weeks

Your new implants will start dropping down to a more natural position on your chest. Swelling and skin tightness are normal as your new pair makes its new home.

Three Months

Your implants will be close to 80% settled into position, after three months and will have dropped down, coming together to form your attractive new cleavage.

Six Months

This is where you’ll see your final results! We’ll ensure that you have everything you need to stay comfortable in the meantime, and will answer any questions you might have.

Breast Augmentation Testimonial 

I was referred to Dr. Niccole by a friend of mine. He did my breast aug two weeks ago and I can honestly say it was such an easy, painless process. I am very happy with the outcome and would highly recommend him to anyone considering a BA. I had very minimal pain post-surgery and I am very impressed by how professional everyone in the office has been. CosmetiCare is definitely a place that really cares about its patients.

What will my scars look like after breast implants?

You’ll have scars from the incisions – and the placement and shape of scarring are dependent on the type of implant used and the entry point to achieve your overall goals. Rest assured, these scars should fade over a year or two, becoming less noticeable.

If cost is a concern, we offer financing options to help our patients pay off the cost of their procedure over time.

How do I choose my breast implant size?

At CosmetiCare in Orange County, will create a simulation so you can try on your breast augmentation procedure during your consultation. This helps our patients truly understand how the procedure will look on their bodies and fosters a collaborative dialogue between you and your plastic surgeon.

What type of breast implant is the best choice, silicone or saline?

A careful choice must be made between silicone gel and saline implants when undergoing a breast augmentation procedure in Orange County. Before considering the cost factor, we recommend looking at the attributes of each option and making an informed choice with your plastic surgeon. The big advantage of silicone implants is that they are the softest breast implants on the market. If you are looking for the most natural-looking and the most natural-feeling breast implant, then a silicone breast implant would be recommended. Saline implants are relatively cheaper, but they are also harder. Patients who want a more obvious augmented look may favor the saline implant due to its shape.

Can I breastfeed after I have a breast augmentation?

Yes! Several studies have examined the ability of patients to breastfeed following breast augmentation procedure and clearly demonstrate that the rate of lactation issues is similar to those reported in postpartum women who did not undergo breast augmentation.

Where will my breast augmentation be performed? Is the surgery center certified by AAAASF?

We are proud to have our own plastic-surgery-specific and optimized surgery center called Balboa Surgery Center which is located on the first floor of our building in Newport Beach. All of our staff members are highly trained and work specifically on plastic surgery patients all day, every day so that they are able to provide not only the most empathetic but also the most accurate and safe care for you since they know exactly what they are doing.

The accreditation and outside inspection process of Balboa Surgery Center in Orange County ensures that we are providing the safest possible environment for our patients to have surgery.

Who will be my anesthesiologist?

At CosmetiCare in Newport Beach, we use MD-only, board-certified anesthesiologists to perform our breast augmentation procedures. We believe that the person who puts you to sleep for your surgery is every bit as critical as your surgeon. We do not use CRNAs, and we do not use Nurse-Anesthetists. While this may cost more, this is designed to ensure total safety and comfort during the procedure.

What type of anesthesia will be provided?

At CosmetiCare in Newport Beach, want your breast augmentation to be a completely pain-free experience. As a result, we will provide general anesthesia, which means that you will be totally asleep for the surgery. This is the safest and most comfortable way for you to have a breast augmentation.
