San Diego Breast Implants
More and more women in San Diego are getting breast implants these days.
With the aid of silicone or saline breast implants, Steven R. Cohen M.D. can help transform your body into the figure you've been wanting.
If you've lost volume in your breasts due to pregnancy, weight loss, suffer from breast asymmetry or simply desire a larger chest, then breast augmentation surgery is a good option for you.
The choice of implants is an important decision and one that Dr. Steven Cohen will be happy to discuss with you during your consultation.
Two Types of Implants
Primarily, there are two types of breast implants available:
- Saline: Currently the most frequently used implant in the U.S.; saline implants vary in shell surface (i.e. smooth or textured), volume, shell thickness, profile, and shape (round or anatomical). Most implants are filled at the time of surgery. However there are implants available that come pre-filled by the manufacturer, but they are not FDA-approved.
- Silicone: Silicone implants have three layers of shell surrounding the implant, and while this reduces the amount of gel bleed, it does make the shell a bit harder, due to the thickness of the shell. Silicone implants come pre-filled. The only real drawback to this is that the incision required to insert them must be a bit longer than what would be needed to insert an empty implant.
There are a few places Dr. Steven Cohen can make the incision to insert your breast implants, in order to make the procedure as unobtrusive as possible, such as:
- In the crease underneath your breast
- Along the lower edge of your areola
- In your axilla or armpit
San Diego is a great place to recover, and just think about the confidence you'll have walking along the beach when you've got the new look you've always wanted!
