BREAST AUGMENTATION OVERVIEW

The female breast comes in all shapes and sizes, and many women, for all sorts of reasons, would like to make changes to their breast appearance. Today, breast augmentation surgery offers options to suit women with a variety of different needs.
In Fresno and other cities along California’s Central Valley, breast enlargement continues to be a popular and valued cosmetic surgery procedure. Breast enhancement allows some women to feel more comfortable in their clothing, more confident following breast deflation caused by pregnancy and aging, or more assured that their small or asymmetrical breasts do not have to inhibit their potential beauty. In basic terms, the surgery involves making an incision in the skin, creating a pocket where the breast implant will be placed, inserting the chosen implant, and then closing the incision area. It is a safe and relatively short procedure with lasting results.

As with any surgery, there are risks to be weighed against the benefits.

This site will help you start to get educated about breast enlargement so that you can make informed decisions regarding which procedures are right for you.
Breast Implant Options
Only you can determine which augmentation procedure best matches your needs and desired results. There are a number of important decisions to make when planning for your procedure. Some of these are quite obvious (for instance, choosing implant size and type), while other decisions may require further research and consideration. Dr. Lopez will consult with you on all of these considerations, including:
- Choosing the Size and Type of Breast Implant
- Deciding on the Incision Site
- Placing Implants Above or Below the Muscle
- Learning About Laser-Assisted Breast Augmentation
- Choosing a Hospital or Office Location
Candidates for Breast Augmentation
Breast enhancement, while providing physical and emotional benefits for many women, is not right for everyone. Dr. Lopez is able to offer satisfying solutions to most women who visit the Center, but certain women have current breast shapes or sizes that make achieving a successful, natural-looking result difficult.
