Enhance Your Natural Figure What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammaplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance breast size and shape. Personalized breast implants can increase volume, restore symmetry, and improve the overall aesthetics of your breasts, helping you feel more confident and positive about your body. At Athēnix in Marina Del Rey, our board-certified plastic surgeons take a personalized approach to every breast augmentation procedure, ensuring it complements your anatomy.

Common Concerns Is Breast Augmentation for You?

Many women express dissatisfaction with their breast size, shape, or appearance. Common concerns among potential candidates for breast augmentation include:

  • Small breast size
  • Desire for improved proportions
  • Challenges with clothing fit
  • Loss of breast volume after weight loss
  • Changes post-pregnancy and breastfeeding
  • Breast asymmetry
  • Wishing for a more youthful appearance
  • Atypical breast shape
  • Sagging or deflation
  • Dissatisfaction with previous breast implant results

How It Works Choose Your Enhancement

At Athēnix, our plastic surgeons are experts in breast augmentation procedures. We offer various options for breast implants, each with its unique texture and feel. Whether you choose silicone or saline implants, our surgeons carefully select the size, shape, and placement to achieve a youthful, full, and natural look. We also offer natural fat transfer for a more understated enhancement that provides a natural look and feel.

Silicone Implants

Our surgeons exclusively use FDA-approved Natrelle® and Sientra® silicone implants, which closely mimic the feel of natural breast tissue. These pre-filled silicone implants have the added assurance of a free warranty program, ensuring implant safety and longevity.

Natural Fat Transfer

This innovative procedure combines breast augmentation with body sculpting by harvesting excess fat from areas such as the thighs or abdomen through liposuction. This fat is then purified and reinserted into the breasts to enhance fullness and symmetry naturally. Natural fat transfer provides the dual benefit of improving your breasts while sculpting another area of your body.

Saline Implants

For women 18 and older, saline implants provide a flexible and adjustable option for breast augmentation. These implants can be pre-filled or filled during surgery, allowing for easier size adjustments. In the rare event of a rupture, the saline is harmlessly absorbed by the body.

Placement: Over or Under the Muscle

The placement of your breast implants is a crucial decision that depends on your specific goals and physique. Our surgeons create a "pocket" for the implants either beneath the chest muscle or above it, within the breast tissue.

Submuscular Placement

Submuscular implants are positioned beneath the pectoral muscle, offering added protection. This is an excellent choice for individuals with minimal breast tissue, resulting in a higher implant position and a more youthful appearance.

Submammary Placement

Submammary, or subglandular, placement situates the implants above the chest muscle and behind the breast tissue. It is suitable for individuals with sufficient skin elasticity or those who prefer smaller implants. Submammary placement typically experiences less interference from muscle movement.

Breast Implant Incision Options

We offer several incision options based on implant placement, size, and type. Your surgeon will discuss and recommend the most suitable approach for your unique situation:

Inframammary Incision

One of the most common techniques, the inframammary incision, involves inserting the implant beneath the breast through the skin fold where the breast meets the chest. This results in no visible scarring while standing, as the breast tissue conceals the incision.

Transumbilical Incision

This approach involves inserting the breast implant through an incision in the navel and then adjusting it within the breast pocket. This option only applies to certain saline implants and does not require incisions on the breast.

Transaxillary Incision

The transaxillary method entails implant insertion through an incision in the upper breast near the armpit's fold. This incision is nearly invisible, even when the arm is raised.

Periareolar Incision

Periareolar incisions encircle the areola, resulting in no visible scars. This technique is employed when the implants are placed over the chest muscle.

Natural Breast Augmentation Using Fat Transfer

Our natural breast augmentation in Marina Del Rey is a fantastic alternative if you prefer breast enhancement without implants.

  • Eliminate excess fat from trouble areas.
  • Enhance breast symmetry and fullness using your body's own fat cells.
  • Achieve fuller breasts without traditional implants.

The process involves precise fat removal through liposuction, purification, and reinsertion into the breasts, enhancing fullness and symmetry. This option is ideal for those who are concerned about traditional breast implants.

Your Recovery Process

Immediately Post-Surgery

After your procedure, you'll wear a supportive surgical bra to help reduce swelling.

On the Same Day

You may experience grogginess as the anesthesia wears off. Light showering becomes possible 48 hours after the surgery.

In the Following Days

Taking short walks is essential to prevent blood clots and enhance mobility. You should get up at least five times daily.

One Week After Surgery

The soft compression band can be removed. In most cases, you can return to work, although individuals with physically demanding jobs may need more recovery time.

Two Weeks

Bruising and swelling should start to subside, and over-the-counter pain relief can be helpful. Patients can begin to see their results take shape.

Six Weeks

Upper body muscles are healed, allowing for a gradual return to exercise. It's crucial to avoid workouts targeting the chest.

Three Months

Your final results should become more evident as swelling decreases, tissues heal, and scars begin to fade.

Six Months

Your new breasts should have settled fully by this time, achieving a beautiful and natural appearance.
