Breast Augmentation in Beverly Hills- Candidates

 

What Are Some of the Reasons for Choosing Breast Augmentation in Beverly Hills?

Beverly Hills Women choose to undergo Breast Augmentation or enlargement with Breast Implants for an array of reasons such as:

Undeveloped Small Breasts

In Southern California where much importance is given to looks a young woman who reaches puberty and remains flat-chested or with small and underdeveloped breasts there is often a feeling of inadequacy and self consciousness. This can adversely affect her relationships – romantic, in the workplace, and even with her friends. Breast augmentation can easily give these young women a way to feel whole and confident.

Pregnancy and Breast Feeding
Having children is one of the most joyous and fulfilling experience of any women. Yet, pregnancy and breastfeeding take an inevitable toll on a woman’s body, causing breasts to shrink, lose fullness, and sag. This leaves many Beverly Hills women longing for more youthful and full breasts. This becomes more frustrating when women realize that exercise and firming creams don’t work. Therefore, breast augmentation along with a breast lift can give back mothers their youthful bosoms.

 
 
 

“After I breast fed my four children, my breasts never looked the same. They shrank and they drooped. I just wanted my body back so I could feel attractive again.” Patricia, age 45

 
 
 
 
 

Weight Loss

In an attempt to gain a beautiful figure by shedding their excess weight, many women find instead that they lose breast fullness and firmness. This becomes a dilemma. In fact, it is very unusual to find a thin and petitte woman who is blessed with large breasts. Except in those who have had breast implants!

 
   
 

Gastric Bypass Surgery

Unknown to many Beverly Hills women who undergo Bariatric Surgery is the consequese of sagging skin including empty and drooping breasts. Having changed their lives for the better with Gastric Bypass surgery, many women feel cheated by the outcome of having “ugly sagging breasts”. Breast augmentation and breast lift allow these women to look normal, again!

Uneven Breasts-Asymmetry

Having uneven breasts, or breast asymmetry, is very common anywhere, including in Beverly Hills. It is a myth that favoring one breast while breast-feeding can lead to breast asymmetry. Rather, this is something that most women are born with, although changes through pregnancy can magnify the difference between the breasts. This makes sizing bras as well as being able to wear braless clothes a challenge.  In extreme cases, it causes much grief and stress for a young woman who just wants to look normal!

Despite the fact that breast asymmetry is a normal phenomenon, there are rare congenital causes of extreme breast asymmetry or lack of breast development such as “Poland’s Syndrome.” Poland’s Syndrome occurs in one out of 20,000 children, and in fact is twice as common in boys as in girls. It is associated with the lack of breast and/or chest muscle development on one side. Whatever the cause of breast asymmetry, breast implants can help bring about a more symmetrical breast size and possibly shape.

 
   
 

Aging Breasts

There is an inevitable loss of breast tissue that takes place as we age, and that can be corrected through Breast Augmentation.  Beverly Hills women of all ages can undergo this procedure, as long as any existing medical conditions have been optimized. This has become a bigger issue as women now live longer, healthier, and more active lives.

   
 
 

 

Don’t let anyone tell you that it’s too late to have a fuller and prettier breast. I had my implants when I was 47, and I’m so much happier with the way I look now.” Marta, age 50
   
   
 
 
 

Therefore, breast augmentation in Los Angeles gives women the choice of preserving their breast fullness as they ag

Ptosis-Sagging of Breasts

Breast Ptosis is what’s commonly known as “sagging breasts.” Unfortunately, many women don’t know that the process of Breast Lift or “Mastopexy” does reduce the size of the breasts, often by at least one cup size. In order to preserve the original breast size, and or, to go “just a little bit bigger,” many women opt to have breast implants at the same time- a procedure that is called “Augmentopexy”.

Empty Sac Syndrome

This is a loss of volume of the breast, while the breast “envelope” remains the same size. Because the breast appears empty, this condition is often confused with ptosis or sagging. However, it is different from breast sagging because technically the nipple-areolar complex and the Inframammary Fold have not sagged. Correction of Empty Sac Syndrome requires placement of breast implants by a plastic surgeon.

Pseudoptosis-“False Ptosis

This occurs when a large part of the breast’s volume is at, or below, the level of the nipple-areolar complex, causing the breast’s upper portion to appear hollow. It is called pseudo or false ptosis because although the breast tissue has sagged, the nipple is still in its normal position. In this case also, a breast implant (rather than a Breast Lift) is the solution for replenishing the lost breast volume.

Besides Breast Augmentation, is there Any Other Reason to get Breast Implants?

Breast Reconstruction After Mastectomy/ Lumpectomy

One out of every nine women gets breast cancer. Treatment of breast cancer includes either removing part of the breast tissue (Lumpectomy), or the entire breast (Mastectomy). In order to restore body form, womanhood, and self-confidence, some women opt to have breast reconstruction with breast implants. In this circumstance, first a breast expander, which is like a breast implant, is placed in the breast pocket, and is then gradually inflated to several times the size of the original breast with saline over a period of several weeks. Once the chest wall skin has stretched or “expanded,” the breast expander is removed and a permanent breast implant (saline or silicone) is placed in its place. At that time, or later, the nipple/ areolar complex is created.

To Replace Existing Breast Implants for Cosmetic or Reconstructive Reasons. Those who have already had breast implants in the past might need to have them replaced. The reasons are as follows:

1. Rupture and leakage of silicone or saline implant.
2. Hardening of the implant capsule or “capsular contracture”.
3. Change from silicone to saline implants or the reverse.
4. Desire to change the size of implants.

Who is Not Eligible for Breast Implants in Beverly Hills?

>Women who are currently pregnant or nursing
