How is Breast Augmentation Performed?
Breast augmentation surgery is performed under general anesthesia in an outpatient surgery center. You will be able to go home on the same day. Dr. Ourian uses a variety of techniques, depending on your specific anatomy. He is known for performing the most natural looking breast implants Beverly Hills patients can obtain.
Incisions:
Dr. Ourian will make an incision using one of several techniques, depending on your anatomy, the type of implants used, and other factors. Incisions may be placed either:
- Around the nipple (periareolar)
- Hidden along the breast fold (inframammary)
- In the armpit (transaxillary)
Implant Position
The chosen implants are then placed through these incisions. Implant placement can be either in front of or behind the chest muscle (pectoralis major), depending on your aesthetic goals, lifestyle, and anatomy. You may make the choice for implant placement along with Dr. Ourian during your consultation.
After the implants have been placed and the tissue is suitably shaped, Dr. Ourian will close the incisions with dissolvable sutures that do not need to be removed at a later time.

Should I Get A Breast Lift At The Same Time As Breast Augmentation?
The need for breast augmentation with lift needs to be determined on an individual basis and requires an in-person examination to determine your unique breast anatomy. The position of your nipple and the overall shape of your breast are some of the factors taken into consideration. A combination breast augmentation with lift is typically performed on patients who have lost volume and see sagging due to weight loss, aging, or genetics. Breast augmentation with lift enhances the position of the breasts and nipples in addition to their size and shape. During your consultation with Dr. Ourian, he will take specific measurements and advise if you need a breast lift at the same time as your breast augmentation.
Which Procedures Can Be Done At The Same Time As A Los Angeles Breast Augmentaion?
There are several options for combining procedures with breast augmentation surgery. This includes other breast surgeries as well as procedures for the face or body.
The procedure most commonly combined with breast augmentation is a mommy makeover. A mommy makeover is a combination of procedures designed to give a woman her pre-pregnancy body. The procedures included in a mommy makeover can include many options, but most commonly refer to tummy tuck, vaginal rejuvenation, labiaplasty, breast lift, and liposuction. In order to enhance the hourglass figure while accentuating curves starting from the chest and into the hips and buttocks, a Brazilian Butt Lift can also be performed at the same time.

Do I ever need to replace my implants? What is capsular contracture?
Although the new generation breast implants are durable and long lasting, they may need to be replaced at some point during your lifetime. Some patients may deal with breast implant issues including implant rupture or capsular contracture. In the case of implant rupture, the materials will need to be surgically removed and replaced if you choose. Capsular contracture is a condition in which the scar tissue forms around the implant. This scar tissue can sometimes become hard and squeeze the implant, which causes discomfort and an abnormal breast appearance. In the case of capsular contracture, the implant and capsule can be surgically removed. Even if Dr. Ourian did not perform your initial procedure, you may schedule a consultation at our Beverly Hills office for a revision.
What Is Breast Augmentation Recovery Like?
During your surgery, Dr. Ourian will use electrocautery device, which avoids any bleeding, as well as minimizes any bruising after your procedure. This technique is often called a “rapid recovery breast augmentation” or “flash recovery breast augmentation.”
After your breast augmentation in Los Angeles, you can expect some swelling and soreness. Discomfort can be alleviated with pain medication, which will be prescribed to you by Dr. Ourian. Most patients require about three to five days to rest and recover before returning to their normal activities. During this first week, you will wear a supportive surgical bra. Ice packs can be applied to relieve swelling. Immediately after surgery, it’s recommended that you walk several times a day, but avoid exercising and lifting heavy objects.
Most patients have completed healing sometime between three- and six-months post-surgery, meaning the final results of their breast augmentation and proper position of the implants are visible.
