Breast Implants

Crafted from a silicone elastomer shell, breast implants are filled with either silicone gel or a saline solution. Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa is at the forefront of breast implant procedures in San Diego, offering a range of implant shapes, sizes, and types to suit individual preferences.

Implant Shapes

We prefer to use round implants for several reasons. Firstly, round implants offer more versatility in achieving desired breast shapes, whether it's a natural look or a more enhanced appearance. They provide fullness both in the upper and lower poles of the breast, resulting in a balanced and aesthetically pleasing outcome.

Moreover, round implants tend to maintain their shape better over time compared to anatomical implants, which may shift or rotate within the breast pocket. This ensures long-term stability and reduces the risk of asymmetry.

Implant Size

Our expert surgeons guide patients in choosing the optimal implant size by considering factors such as personal taste, body type, chest width, and individual lifestyle. Achieving natural breast augmentation involves a thoughtful selection process to ensure a harmonious result.

3D Imaging Tool

Changes Plastic Surgery & Spa stands out by offering 3D Computer Imaging, allowing patients to visualize their potential outcomes with different implant sizes and shapes. This advanced tool empowers you to make informed decisions about your breast augmentation in San Diego.

The Breast Augmentation Procedure

Experience the artistry of breast augmentation performed by our skilled surgeons:

Incision Options: Depending on your preference and anatomy, incisions can be made in the breast fold or around the nipple (periareolar). Changes surgeons often favor a small incision in the mammary fold for optimal results.
Implant Placement: The breast implant is strategically placed either under the breast tissue (subglandular position), under the muscle fascia (sub-fascial), or under the pectoralis muscle (submuscular position). This decision is based on individual anatomy and desired outcomes.
Keller Funnel Technique: Our surgeons often employ the Keller Funnel technique, minimizing infection risks, stress on the implant shell, and reducing incision length.
Outpatient Procedure: Breast augmentation is typically performed on an outpatient basis, with the surgery lasting between one to two hours.

Breast Augmentation Recovery & Postoperative Care

We are here to help you navigate your recovery journey with ease. Most patients can return to work within a few days, avoiding strenuous activities that elevate pulse and blood pressure for one to two weeks.

Expect temporary soreness, swelling, and sensitivity, with a feeling of tightness in the breast area as your skin adjusts to the new size. As your breast tissue and muscles adapt, the initial effects of soreness and swelling will gradually subside, revealing your long-term results.

Breast Augmentation FAQ

Will I be able to breastfeed after breast augmentation?

Many women who undergo breast augmentation can successfully breastfeed. However, the ability to breastfeed may depend on the surgical technique used, the placement of the implants, and individual factors such as existing breast tissue and milk ducts. Incisions made around the areola may potentially interfere with breastfeeding, while inframammary incisions typically do not affect the ability to nurse. It’s important to discuss your breastfeeding plans with your surgeon before the procedure.

How long do breast implants last, and will I need replacements?

Breast implants are not lifetime devices, and while many women keep their implants for 10 years or more, they may need replacement or removal at some point. Factors that can influence the lifespan of implants include the type of implant, individual anatomy, and lifestyle. Regular check-ups with your surgeon are important to monitor the condition of your implants. If you experience symptoms like changes in breast shape, pain, or noticeable hardening (capsular contracture), it may be time for a replacement.

What are the potential risks and complications associated with breast augmentation?

Like any surgical procedure, breast augmentation carries risks, including infection, bleeding, scarring, and complications related to anesthesia. Specific risks associated with breast implants include capsular contracture (hardening of the tissue around the implant), implant rupture or leakage, and changes in nipple sensation. Understanding these risks and discussing them with your surgeon is essential to making an informed decision.

Can I combine breast augmentation with other procedures?

Yes, breast augmentation can often be combined with other cosmetic procedures, such as a breast lift, tummy tuck, or liposuction, as part of a comprehensive body contouring plan. Combining surgeries can enhance overall results and streamline recovery time. Your surgeon will assess your individual goals and health status to determine the best approach for combining procedures safely.

How does breast augmentation impact nipple sensitivity?

Breast augmentation can affect nipple sensitivity in different ways. Some women experience increased sensitivity, while others may have a decrease in sensitivity or temporary numbness after the procedure. Changes in sensation are usually temporary and can improve over time. Factors influencing sensitivity include the surgical technique used, the placement of incisions, and individual healing responses. Discussing your concerns with your surgeon can help you understand what to expect.
