Breast Augmentation in Sacramento, CA
Choosing Breast Augmentation
To enhance the shape and size of your breasts, breast augmentation may be the right choice for you. The results of breast augmentation are full and natural looking curves that complement the contours of your own body. Breast augmentation for Sacramento, Folsom and Roseville area women is performed by the experienced, board-certified plastic surgeons at Kaufman & Clark Plastic Surgery.
Many women feel self-conscious about small breast size. Often, small-breasted women have trouble finding clothes that flatter a less curving figure, and they frequently feel unfeminine or under-developed. Breast enlargement is not the solution for everyone, but it has helped thousands of women feel more confident about their bodies.

In addition to increasing breast size, breast augmentation patients can undergo the surgery in order to balance a difference in breast size, to restore breast size after pregnancy or to reconstruct the breasts after mastectomy surgery.
Women who have successfully lost a significant amount of weight also choose breast augmentation to "refill" their smaller-often very droopy-breasts. Though it may at first sound odd to add volume if you've worked hard to lose weight, women who have lost dozens or even hundreds of pounds often find implants, or implants combined with a lift, are the best way to perk up saggy breasts.
By inserting a breast implant behind each breast, your breast size can be increased by one or more bra cup sizes. For example, if you wear a 34 B bra size and undergo breast augmentation, you will likely need a 34 C or D after the operation. The circumference around your chest by which you measure your breast size will not change.

Candidates for Breast Augmentation
The best candidates for breast augmentation surgery are women who are physically and psychologically healthy and who fully realize what can be achieved with surgery. If you have breasts that droop and sag, you may also want to consider a breast lift in Sacramento in addition to your breast enlargement.
Many women approach the breast augmentation procedure as a way to completely change their appearance or life. Unfortunately, while breast augmentation can improve your self-confidence and enhance your appearance, you must understand the limits of the procedure.
Talk to Your Plastic Surgeon
Prior to your surgery, you will schedule a consultation with your surgeon. During this consultation, you and your surgeon will discuss your breast augmentation expectations, as well as options for incision placement, implant placement, and desired post-operative breast cup size. Often times, bringing in photographs of your desired outcome can assist in the process as you and your plastic surgeon try to determine the best methods to give you the results you are looking for. During your consultation, you will be sized with sample implants to further accurately define your goals.
Recovery
Breast augmentation surgery takes about 1 to 1-1/2 hours. Recovery from the surgery necessitates a week of reduced activity. During the ensuing weeks, patients may gradually return to normal activity, as bruising and swelling around the breasts fade. Once the breasts have completely healed, patients can fully enjoy and show off their new contours.
