What is Breast Augmentation?

As a result of aging, weight loss, pregnancy, and hormonal changes, many women find that their breasts lose their previous shape. Others are simply unhappy with their natural size. A breast augmentation restores shape and size, giving a fuller look. Dr. Robert Aycock offers breast augmentations to residents of San Francisco, CA.

How is a Breast Augmentation Performed?

Once you have been placed under an anesthetic, an incision will be made. Many women are able to have the incision that runs under the natural curve of the breast, while others have the one that runs from the armpit downwards. For some women, it is necessary to move the nipple in order to achieve a natural look. Once your incision has been made, the implants will be put in place. Sutures will then be used to close the surgical wound. The overall recovery period lasts around six weeks.
