Patients seeking breast augmentation in San Diego and beyond may do so for a variety of reasons. A woman may desire larger breasts to feel more proportionate or simply to enhance the size of her breasts if she feels her current breast size is too small. Breast augmentation may also be performed in order to help women return to their previous size after pregnancy or to evenly balance the size of uneven breasts. Correcting these asymmetries can also help to strengthen a woman's self-confidence. These factors and others lead patients to seek breast augmentation in San Diego.
Breast augmentation is a surgery performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Kearney offers four incision options: transaxillary (through the armpit, done endoscopically), transumbilical (through the belly button, done endoscopically), inframammary (under the breast) and peri-aerola (around the edge of the nipple). Dr. Kearney will discuss each of these options with you to help you determine which location is best for you and to minimize the visibility of any scarring that may occur.
Dr. Kearney uses breast implants which are either filled with a saline solution or silicone gel. Silicone implants were recently FDA approved for all patients over the age of 22 seeking breast augmentation. There are pros and cons with both saline and silicone breast implants and Dr. Kearney will help you determine which implant is right for you during your complimentary consultation. Please contact this plastic surgeon to learn more about getting breast augmentation in San Diego.
Breast augmentation is a highly personal decision in which your goals should be realistically determined and discussed with your surgeon in San Diego. Together you and Dr. Kearney will determine what specific procedures will be performed as well as which type of implant will be used. Once your goals have been determined and realistic expectations have been discussed you will set a date for this procedure in San Diego and will be given instructions on how to prepare for the surgery. A pre-operative appointment will be set up prior to surgery where we will go over your health history, take before photos, have you sign consents and paperwork and allow you to try on sizer implants once again to determine which implant size you prefer.
When the date for your breast augmentation has arrived, your surgeon, Dr. Kearney, will talk to you before taking you back to the operating room to make sure that you haven't changed your mind on implant size or incision location and to answer any last minute questions you may have.
After the procedure, patients often experience soreness for a few days but are usually back to their normal lives within a few days and back to moderate exercise routines within a couple of weeks . Pain following the surgery can be minimized by medications prescribed by your doctor. All breast augmentation procedures are performed under general anesthesia to help minimize any discomfort or pain. View before and after breast augmentation photos.
