Breast augmentation surgery is a transformative cosmetic procedure that empowers individuals to enhance or restore the shape and size of their breasts. At our clinic in Upland, CA, under the expert guidance of Dr. Edward Park, board certified in plastic surgery, we are committed to helping you achieve your desired appearance. Whether you're looking to increase breast size, compensate for reduced breast mass after pregnancy or weight loss, or balance asymmetrical breasts, our team is here to provide supportive, professional care tailored to your unique body type and aesthetic goals.

Understanding Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast augmentation involves the surgical placement of breast implants to increase fullness and projection of the breasts or to improve symmetry of the breasts. This important decision not only affects your appearance but also your self-esteem and personal satisfaction. It's crucial to approach it with careful consideration and the support of experienced professionals like Dr. Edward Park and his team.

Exploring Different Types of Breast Implants

Choosing the right type of breast implant is crucial to achieving your desired look and feel. At our clinic, we primarily offer two types of implants, each with its unique benefits to suit diverse needs and preferences. Here’s a detailed look at both options to help you make an informed decision:

Saline Implants

Pros:

• Adjustability: Saline implants are filled after they're inserted, allowing Dr. Park to adjust the size during surgery for precise symmetry and volume.
• Smaller Incisions: These implants require smaller incisions since they are filled post-insertion, which can result in less noticeable scarring.
• Safety: If a saline implant ruptures, the body will naturally absorb the saline solution, which is essentially saltwater and non-toxic to the body.

Cons:

• Feel: Saline implants are less dense than silicone, which might feel less like natural breast tissue to some patients.
• Rippling: There is a higher possibility of visible rippling with saline implants, especially in patients with thinner natural breast tissue.

Silicone Implants

Pros:

• Natural Feel: Silicone implants are filled with a cohesive gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue, making them a popular choice for their realistic texture and consistency.
• Less Rippling: Due to their more viscous material, silicone implants tend to show less rippling compared to saline implants, which is beneficial for achieving a smooth, natural contour.

Cons:

• Rupture Detection: If a silicone implant ruptures, it might not be as immediately noticeable as with saline, as the gel may remain within the implant or breast capsule. Regular check-ups and MRIs are recommended to monitor their integrity.
• Larger Incision: Silicone implants are pre-filled, requiring a slightly larger incision than saline implants, which could be a consideration for those concerned about scarring.

During your consultation, Dr. Edward Park will discuss these options in depth, considering factors like your body type, breast anatomy, and personal preferences to determine the best type of implant for you. Our goal is to ensure that you are fully satisfied with your choice and that it enhances your overall physique harmoniously.

Choosing the Right Incision

The incision method for breast augmentation is a key component of the surgery, as it influences both the placement of the implant and the final appearance of any scarring. Dr. Edward Park, with his expertise in cosmetic procedures, will guide you through selecting the best incision type that aligns with your aesthetic goals and the specifics of your anatomy. Here’s an overview of the incision options available at our clinic:

Inframammary Incision

The inframammary incision is made along the crease underneath the breast, where the breast meets the chest wall. This is one of the most common incision types due to its several advantages. It allows excellent control over the placement of the implant, making it suitable for all types of implants, including larger silicone implants. The scar from an inframammary incision is typically well-concealed beneath the breast fold, making it less visible in most forms of clothing, including swimwear and low-cut tops.

Periareolar Incision

This incision is made around the outer edge of the areola, blending the scar with the transition between the areolar skin and the natural breast skin. The periareolar incision is particularly beneficial for patients who might also need a mild breast lift. This method provides a good access point for implant placement and is less noticeable, but it is generally recommended for smaller implants and may not be suitable for all types of silicone implants.

Dr. Edward Park will discuss these options during your consultation, considering factors like your preferred implant type, your breast anatomy, and your personal concerns about scarring. Each incision type has its own benefits and suitability depending on the specific circumstances and goals of the patient. The choice of incision is made with careful consideration to ensure the best possible outcome in terms of aesthetic, comfort, and minimal scarring.

Expected Results from Breast Augmentation

Post-surgery, you can expect enhanced breast size and shape, which contributes to a more proportionate and aesthetically pleasing figure. While results are immediately visible, it may take a few weeks to months as swelling decreases and implant position settles for your new silhouette to fully refine. It's important to note that while enhancements are significant, individual results may vary.

Are You a Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

Ideal candidates for breast augmentation are adults typically age 18 and older who are in good health and have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery. Factors such as natural body shape, previous surgeries, and overall health will play a role in determining if this procedure is suitable for you.
