San Diego Cosmetic Surgery, Breast Augmentation & Plastic Surgeons
Breast augmentation surgery is one of the most popular cosmetic surgical procedures performed today. This surgery is used to enhance or alter a woman's breasts by the use of implants. Many women choose to change the size and shape of their breasts to enhance the natural contours of their body.
There are several types of breast implants. The saline-filled implant has a silicone shell that is filled with sterile saline liquid. These implants are currently available in the United State, but future regulations may make them more available. Silicone gel implants are silicone shells filled with silicone gel. Because these types of implants are used in around 60 countries, they account for about 90% of all implant operations. String implants are a much less common type of implant. String implants are unique because they cause the breast to continue to expand after surgery. These types of implants are commonly used by women who want to have the largest breasts possible. Tissue engineered implants are a new form of implant that is currently being developed. In this type of implant, cells are taken from patients and combined with an appropriate scaffold material which produces a TEBI (tissue engineered breast implant). These are beneficial because there is no risk of leakage or rupture and can also last a lifetime.
Before a surgery your doctor will give specific guidelines and checklists on what you can eat, drink, and if you are allowed to smoke. He/she will also advise you which vitamins you should take both before and after the surgery. The surgery will generally be performed in either the doctor's office, an outpatient facility or at a surgical center.
