What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is one of the most sought-after cosmetic procedures for enhancing the size, shape, and fullness of the breasts.

Westlake Village breast augmentation surgeon Dr. Kouros Azar specializes in creating results that look natural and beautifully proportioned.

The Breasts You Want

Benefits of Breast Augmentation

Women choose breast augmentation for deeply personal reasons, and at Azar Plastic Surgery, we understand that every patient has unique goals. Dr. Azar tailors each procedure to your needs, ensuring natural-looking enhancement that fits your lifestyle and body. Here's how breast augmentation can transform your look and confidence:

  • Enhanced Size and Shape: If you've always wished for fuller, rounder breasts, implants can help you achieve a more feminine, proportional figure that feels right for you.
  • Restored Volume: Many women experience a loss of breast volume due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging. Augmentation can restore youthful fullness, helping your breasts look more lifted and rejuvenated.
  • Improved Symmetry: It's common for breasts to be slightly asymmetrical. Implants allow for precise adjustments so you can achieve a more balanced and harmonious appearance.
  • Boosted Confidence: Feeling good in your body can have a profound effect on your confidence. Whether you're wearing a swimsuit, a fitted dress, or just looking in the mirror, breast augmentation can help you feel more self-assured and beautiful.
  • Personalized Results: No two patients are alike, and neither are their results. Dr. Azar works with you to customize every detail—from implant type to size and placement—ensuring a look that's perfectly suited to you.

Your Choices for the Breasts You Want

Once you decide you would like to go ahead with breast augmentation Thousand Oaks plastic surgeon, Dr. Azar, will walk you through a variety of choices which will help him personalize your results.

While your anatomy and lifestyle are important considerations, most of your choices will come down to personal preference. Dr. Azar will help you understand how your outcome is influenced by your choice of incision location, implant placement, and breast implants.

His patients from Simi Valley, Camarillo, and other areas appreciate the time he takes to help them understand the following decisions:

  • Incision: Typically, Thousand Oaks breast augmentation provider, Dr. Azar places the incision along the breast crease or around the areola where the resulting scar will be naturally disguised.
  • Implant Placement: Implants can be placed under or on top of the pectoral muscle. The most common placement is under the muscle (sub-pectoral placement) because it usually provides the most natural looking breast augmentation results. Sub-pectoral placement also has been associated with a reduced risk of capsular contracture.

When it comes to breast implants, the choices are as diverse as the women who choose them.

Types of Implants: Which One is Right for You?

Choosing the right breast implant is a key part of your augmentation journey. Dr. Azar offers a range of options to suit different body types, aesthetic preferences, and lifestyles. Each implant type has unique characteristics, and the best choice depends on factors like your desired look, feel, and long-term goals.

Saline Implants: Versatile and Adjustable

Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater, allowing for adjustable sizing during surgery. They require smaller incisions since they are placed empty and then filled to the desired volume. Saline implants are also known for their safety, as the body naturally absorbs the saline solution if the implant ruptures. While they provide a firmer feel than silicone implants, they can sometimes have a slightly less natural texture, particularly for women with minimal breast tissue.

Silicone Implants: Soft and Natural-Looking

Silicone implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. This option is particularly popular for women seeking a softer, more natural texture and a look that moves like real breasts. While the incision size is slightly larger due to the pre-filled nature of the implants, the aesthetic results are often preferred. Routine imaging (such as an MRI or ultrasound) is recommended to monitor the integrity of silicone implants over time.

Gummy Bear Implants: The Ultimate in Shape Retention

Gummy bear implants are the latest advancement in breast augmentation. These implants use a highly cohesive gel that maintains its shape—even if the outer shell is compromised. They offer a firm yet natural feel, with a teardrop shape that mimics the natural slope of the breast. Gummy bear implants are ideal for women who want a long-lasting, stable result with minimal risk of rippling or shifting over time. Because of their form-stable structure, they may require a slightly larger incision than traditional silicone implants.

Breast Augmentation Procedure

Dr. Azar performs breast augmentation in major area hospitals and surgery centers, accompanied by a board-certified M.D. anesthesiologist for the highest level of privacy, safety, and comfort.

Breast augmentation usually takes an hour to complete and is performed while the patient is under general anesthesia or IV sedation. During the breast augmentation procedure, incisions are made on the breast and a pocket is formed either under or above the pectoral muscle. Next the breast implants are inserted and carefully positioned, and the incisions are closed. While experiences vary, most women can return to work and everyday activities within a week, and resume their exercise routine after about 3 weeks.

Breast Augmentation Recovery

Breast augmentation recovery varies by patient, but most can return to work and normal activities within a week. Strenuous exercise and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least three weeks. Patients will receive detailed post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

Breast Augmentation Results

One of the most exciting moments after breast augmentation is seeing your new shape and contours take form. You'll notice an immediate enhancement in size and projection, but keep in mind that swelling may temporarily affect the appearance of your results. Over the next few weeks, your implants will settle into their final position, revealing a softer, more natural shape.

Breast implants are designed to provide long-lasting results, typically maintaining their shape and structure for many years. However, like any cosmetic enhancement, they are not considered lifetime devices. Regular follow-ups with Dr. Azar are essential to monitor your breast health and implant integrity. If any changes occur, imaging tests like MRI or ultrasound can help assess the condition of your implants.

With proper care and a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Azar guiding your journey, your breast augmentation results will continue to enhance your confidence and natural beauty for years to come.

Breast Augmentation Frequently Asked Questions

Dr. Azar answers some of the questions he is most frequently asked by the women who visit him from areas such as Westlake Village and Simi Valley about breast augmentation in Westlake Village.

This depends on the final breast size you want and your anatomy. If you have pictures of women who have breasts that are the size you want, I can take this goal into account when determining your implant size. Implants are measured in by volume, not by cup size. Your new breast size will be a combination of your current breast size and the implants. Another useful tool is our Vectra® 3-D imaging system, which generates a computer simulation of what you could look like with various implant sizes. It takes an experienced surgeon to determine the combination that will help you attain the breast size and shape you desire based on your own unique anatomy. You will also have the opportunity to try on different sized implant sizers in a sizing bra at your pre-operative appointment and discuss the final size with me.

Sometimes. If your breasts look smaller now, there could be 2 factors at play. During pregnancy and breastfeeding, the breasts enlarge and the breast skin stretches. When you stop breastfeeding, the breasts may return to their former size, but the skin may have stretched to a point where it can’t bounce back. The resulting sagging makes the breasts appear smaller. Some women actually do lose breast volume, as well. I can perform a breast lift to help restore a rounded shape and breast augmentation to increase breast size. If there is significant sagging, a combination of the 2 procedures is required to achieve the most attractive results.

Though many scientific studies have been conducted, none have linked silicone breast implants to increased health risks. In 2006, the FDA re-approved the use of silicone breast implants for breast augmentation in women age 22 and up, and for all ages in breast reconstruction. To eliminate concerns about implant leakage, newer silicone breast implants are made from cohesive silicone gel.

Allergan breast implants are next-generation, FDA-approved silicone breast implants that offer a very natural feel and provide peace of mind from knowing that leaking is not a possibility. These soft yet solid implants respond much like a gummy candy when cut apart; they can’t leak or deflate. These implants are available in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate most body types.

During a breast augmentation Westlake Village plastic surgeon, Dr. Azar, will place the incisions either along the breast crease or around the areola, so although there are fine scars, they are disguised and become barely noticeable within a few months.

I have helped many women get the natural attractive breast size and shape they desire, even when they’ve had complications with their initial surgery or their results weren’t what they wanted. Revision breast augmentation surgery is more complicated than the original procedure and requires a highly skilled and experienced plastic surgeon. I employ a host of new techniques in helping women achieve improved results such as the use of Strattice™ Reconstructive Tissue Matrix, a new product designed to help woman with specific problems after breast augmentation. If you are unhappy with your results elsewhere, I encourage you to meet with me. I will help you consider your options for improving things.

Yes. It is usually safe to combine certain plastic surgery procedures. You can attain the improvements you want and have surgery performed just once with a in a single recovery period. Many women choose a Mommy Makeover, which typically combines breast enhancement surgery with a tummy tuck and liposuction.
