Los Angeles Breast Augmentation

Los Angeles breast augmentation is offered at the Institute for Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery with Orange County plastic surgeron Dr. Thomas Nguyen. If you are like many women who desire larger, fuller, shapelier breasts, breast augmentation may be a good option for you.

Breast augmentation is a common procedure used to enhance small breasts or correct breast volume reduction due to pregnancy, weight loss, or the natural aging process. The breast augmentation procedure results in fuller, beautifully shaped breasts.

About the Breast Implant Procedure

The implants are a silicone shell filled with sterile saline solution (a fluid of similar chemical composition to the fluid in your body). Based on individual factors, the outer shell may be smooth or textured and round or anatomical (teardrop). Implants may be placed directly under the breast tissue or under the pectoral muscle.

Most commonly, the implants are placed under the muscle to:

• provide a more natural look
• longer lasting results
• reduced risk of capsular contracture (excessive scar tissue forming around the implant)
• and to allow for more accurate mammograms in the future
