Breast augmentation have been performed since the 1960’s, with a 40 year track record for safety. Breast augmentation results in more volume and fullness to the breast. It is one of the most common cosmetic procedures performed. Both saline (salt-water) and silicone gel breast implants are available, and Dr. Jazayeri will discuss both options with you during your complimentary consultation.
Currently, there are two types of breast implants available:
There are also different styles of implant available: smooth and round, textured and round, textured anatomical (tear-drop shape). Within each category there are different types of implant: low, moderate, and high profile. As one can see, the combination of factors to consider can become very challenging. It is our responsibility to clarify and simplify the decision making so the patient can obtain the best result possible.
Breast augmentation can be performed through incisions made around the areola (peri-areolar), underneath the breast fold (inframmamary approach), through the arm pit (trans-axillary), or around the belly button (trans-umbilical or TUBA). The implant can also be placed above or below the pectoralis muscle (the muscle underneath the breast tissue). Each approach has its advantages and disadvantages. During the consultation, Dr. Jazayeri will recommend the best and safest approach for the patient’s desired needs.
It is important to realize breast implants are not permanent, and eventually need to be replaced. Fortunately, the risk of implant leak is low, but it does increase with the age of the implant. Mentor and Allergan are currently the only FDA approved companies providing implants in the U.S. Both companies have a life-time warranty should an implant leak. In case of saline implants, a leak will be noticeable as the saline will be absorbed by the body, resulting in a change and feel of the affected breast. With silicone implant, the gel cannot be absorbed. In some cases, therefore, the implant may have leaked without any noticeable change or feel in the breast. Silicone is not dangerous and is not harmful to the body. If you are concerned about a silicone implant leak, the best method of diagnosis is an MRI.
Our philosophy is to make cosmetic surgery results look as natural as possible. For more information on breast augmentation please contact the office near Orange County to speak with Dr. Jazayeri.
In addition to this aspect of your procedure, Dr. Jazayeri will be glad to discuss the ideal location in which to place your implants, as well as the preferred incision site. Knowing and implementing a precise surgical plan is highly valued at Élan Institute for Plastic Surgery.
