TopSurgeons is enhancing Los Angeles women's natural beauty on a daily basis by providing a wide range of choices in breast implants.

The board-certified physicians of TopSurgeons emphasize minimal-scar techniques, where the incisions are near the belly button or under the arms.

What Are The Indications Of Breast Augmentation?

• To enhance body contours
• To correct breast volume reduction that can occur after pregnancy.
• To correct an imbalance in breast size.
• For reconstruction after breast surgery.

Am I A Candidate For Breast Augmentation?

The decision to have breast augmentation is very personal, and the perceived “need” for the procedure is of course subjective. Our doctors find that the best candidates for breast augmentation surgery are healthy adult women who may be dissatisfied with the size and shape of their breasts, but have realistic expectations for what surgery can accomplish (that is, they are not expecting perfection). We have found that patients who have breast augmentation do so not only for the obvious reason of increasing their breast size, but for the resulting boost in self-confidence that the procedure provides them.

What Does The Breast Augmentation Procedure Involve? 

The breast augmentation procedure can be done through four methods: 

• Periareolar (around the nipple area)
• Inframammary (beneath the breast)
• Axillary (in a skin crease under the arm)
• Transumbilical (within the belly-button)

These methods keep scars as inconspicuous as possible.  The most popular way of performing breast augmentation is through an incision in the armpit utilizing the minimal incision technique. Utilizing this method, no incisions are made on the breast or into the breast tissue. The incision is about 1 inch in length and heals in a small non-revealing fold in the armpit.  Most breast implant procedures we perform are done behind the muscle for a more natural feel.  Saline or silicone-filled implants are available.  Saline implants are currently the most popular.

What Are The Advantages of Breast Augmentation?

• Enlarge small breasts
• Correct breast imbalance
• Improve confidence and self-image

How Long Does The Breast Augmentation Procedure Take?

A typical breast augmentation surgery takes 2-3 hours, but individual cases may vary depending on the surgical approach used.

How Many Treatments Are Required?

Only one treatment should be required. In our practice, we are often called on to revise previous breast augmentations that were performed incorrectly.

How Long Will The Results of Breast Augmentation Last?

The results of breast augmentation are essentially permanent. The new implants do not degrade or disintegrate.

Will I Have Pain?

As anesthesia is used, there is no pain during the procedure.  A certain degree of swelling and bruising is normal.  Mild discomfort is usually easily controlled with medications prescribed by your plastic surgeon.

When Can I Go Back To Work Or School?

Generally you may return to work or school in 3- 7 days. 

Who Performs The Treatment?

Treatments are performed by fully licensed and highly skilled plastic surgeons in state-of-the-art, fully-accredited outpatient surgical centers for your ultimate safety and comfort.
