Breast augmentation involves placing implants either above or below the chest muscle to enhance breast size and shape. This is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries worldwide, with high satisfaction rates. The procedure can be tailored based on implant type, size, and incision location. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Eugene Kim provides breast augmentation to patients in Beverly Hills, Los Angeles, Santa Monica, West Hollywood, CA, and surrounding communities.
Who is a Candidate?
Women seeking fuller breasts, improved symmetry, or restoration after pregnancy or weight loss may be good candidates. Ideal patients are in good health, have realistic expectations, and are not currently pregnant or breastfeeding.
What to Expect During Recovery
Most patients experience swelling, soreness, and tightness during the first few days. Light activities can usually resume within a week, with full physical activity approved after 4–6 weeks. Proper care, rest, and use of support garments accelerate healing.
Benefits and Considerations
Breast augmentation can enhance body proportions, boost self-esteem, and improve clothing fit. Scars are typically placed in discreet areas and fade significantly over time with proper care. Many women find that the emotional and aesthetic benefits outweigh any temporary discomfort.
Risks and Limitations
Potential risks include capsular contracture, implant rupture, infection, and scarring. Choosing a skilled surgeon and following all aftercare instructions minimizes these risks. Some patients may eventually require revision surgery.
