Breast Augmentation in La Jolla, CA | Dr. Jeffrey Umansky

Understanding Breast Augmentation in La Jolla

Women seek breast augmentation for various personal reasons, including achieving more flattering proportions, improving clothing fit, and restoring breast fullness after pregnancy and breastfeeding. At Umansky Plastic Surgery, breast augmentation is a highly personalized cosmetic procedure designed to help patients safely achieve their desired breast aesthetic.

Types of Breast Implants

Patients can choose between two primary implant types: saline and silicone. Each option offers unique benefits and considerations, which our board-certified plastic surgeons will thoroughly discuss during consultation.

Saline Implants

• Filled with sterile saltwater solution
• Inserted empty and filled after placement
• Typically require smaller incisions
• Immediate deflation noticeable if rupture occurs

Silicone Gel Implants

• Pre-filled with soft silicone gel
• Closely mimic natural breast tissue
• Less likely to show rippling
• Available in different gel consistencies

Advanced Implant Technologies

Umansky Plastic Surgery offers cutting-edge implant options like Gummy Bear implants and the Ideal Implant, providing patients with the most advanced breast augmentation solutions.

Recovery and Considerations

Recovery varies by patient but typically involves:

• Driving possible within 3-5 days
• Compression bra for support
• Return to normal activities within one week
• Full healing and implant settling over several weeks

Potential Risks

While breast augmentation is generally safe, potential risks include capsular contracture, implant rupture, and changes in breast sensation. Choosing an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon minimizes these risks.
