What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure with a high rate of satisfaction, as it can restore a woman’s figure and boost her confidence after physical changes related to aging, pregnancy, or weight fluctuations. The surgery is most commonly performed with breast implants, which offer long-term improvement in balance, proportion, and symmetry. However, there is also the option for fat transfer breast augmentation for those seeking a more subtle transformation. 

Your Unique Decision-Making Process With Dr. Firouz for your Breast Augmentation in Beverly Hills

While most cosmetic procedures are fairly straightforward and self-explanatory, breast augmentation requires careful consideration of multiple factors that express your preferences and will impact your final outcome. With Dr. Firouz’s help, you will make a series of decisions to customize your procedure as follows:

Implant Type

  • Saline – Saline implants are engineered with salt water that gets harmlessly released into the body should the implant rupture. They can be inserted unfilled, allowing for a small scar. Additionally, they are ideal for correcting asymmetry, as they can be filled to different capacities on each side of the chest.
  • Silicone – While slightly more costly than saline devices, silicone implants are known for their highly natural look and feel. Made with a viscous gel consistency, they are long-lasting and versatile, providing for ultimate customization.
  • Gummy Bear Implants – Gummy Bears are silicone implants with an anatomical or teardrop shape. They are considered “form-stable” and maintain their shape regardless of what activities the patient engages in. 

Implant Size

A variety of factors may impact your ideal implant size, including your frame, height, activity level, and more. Dr. Firouz will help you understand the implications of your chosen cup size on your lifestyle, and will provide you with “try-on” devices to place under your blouse for comparison. 

Implant Placement

There are several options for where the implant is placed, including subglandular (behind the breast tissue), submuscular (under the pectoral muscle), and the dual-plane methods. The most common implant position is submuscular, as it decreases the risk of capsular contracture and allows for more seamless mammography. The subglandular placement is often a superior option for those with breast ptosis. Dr. Firouz will discuss your choices in more depth during your private consultation.

Incision Placement

Incision placement is an important concern, as it will affect the scar pattern present after surgery. Options include:

  • Inframammary incision – Here, an incision is created along the breast crease, allowing for accurate placement of the implant. 
  • Areolar or periareolar incision – With this approach, an incision is made within the darker pigments of the areola, which leads to well-hidden scars. 
  • Transaxillary incision – A transaxillary incision is created within the creases of the armpit. The implant is only filled once it has been tunneled through to the chest.

What Is Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation?

Fat transfer breast augmentation is an alternative to implants that utilizes the patient’s own autologous materials to create more rounded, feminine breast mounds. Fat cells are extracted via liposuction from areas of excess (belly, thighs, flanks, etc.) and then injected into the chest to increase volume and shape. The drawback of the procedure is that it only offers a modest increase of around one cup size. However, for some patients, this may be all that is desired.

What Are the Benefits of Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation with Dr. Firouz in Beverly Hills comes with a range of compelling benefits, including the following:

  • Fuller, rounder breasts
  • Improved balance, symmetry, and proportion in the chest
  • Combats changes in the physique after pregnancy, aging, or weight loss
  • Boosts confidence and self-esteem
  • Expands choices for lingerie, swimwear, tops, and dresses
  • Long-lasting, natural-looking results

Who Makes an Ideal Candidate for Breast Augmentation?

To best determine your candidacy for breast augmentation, Dr. Firouz will sit down with you for a private and informative consultation process at his world-class practice in Beverly Hills. In general, the surgery is suggested for women who are unhappy with smaller breasts due to genetics or those who have noticed breast deflation over time due to the natural aging process, pregnancy, or weight loss. As with all cosmetic procedures, it is critical that you are in good health, don’t smoke, and are at a stable, healthy weight for your frame. Additionally, you should have realistic expectations for your results based on your initial meeting with the doctor.

How Should I Prepare for Breast Augmentation?

Prior to breast augmentation, Dr. Firouz will offer you detailed instructions that can help make your treatment journey more comfortable and seamless. You may be asked to stop taking certain supplements and medications that could increase bleeding, bruising, and swelling risks. 

You should fill all prescriptions early, prepare your home environment for recovery, and schedule a friend or helper to drive you home after your procedure. If you have children or pets, you will need some assistance for the first week of the healing process, as you will not be allowed to lift anything over five pounds. If you smoke, you will need to quit at least 1-2 months before and after surgery. Smoking can have disastrous consequences not only for your safety but also for your cosmetic results.

What to Expect From the Breast Augmentation Procedure

On the day of your procedure in Beverly Hills, Dr. Firouz and his team will briefly go over your surgical plan one last time and answer any quick questions. Surgery is performed under general anesthesia, allowing you to fall into a deep sleep before Dr. Firouz performs any work. 

Once you are resting, the doctor will create your incisions according to your individualized treatment plan. He will create a pocket for the implant and place the device inside. Dr. Firouz utilizes the utmost precision and today’s most advanced surgical techniques when performing breast augmentation, reducing the likelihood of complications. 

Once all work has been completed, Dr. Firouz will close your incisions using state-of-the-art suturing techniques. He will apply dressings to the chest and place you in the recovery area, where you will be carefully monitored until you are cleared to go home.

Combining Breast Augmentation With Mastopexy

For some of Dr. Firouz’s Beverly Hills patients, breast volume loss is accompanied by ptosis or sagging. In these cases, the doctor recommended undergoing breast augmentation in combination with a breast lift, which provides comprehensive relief from both issues. The end result with this approach is a perkier, more youthful-looking chest profile and increased symmetry and balance. During your private consultation, Dr. Firouz can assess whether you qualify for breast augmentation with a lift.

Breast Augmentation Recovery

After surgery, your chest will be wrapped in a compression garment, which helps to reduce swelling and keep your new contours in pristine condition as the body heals. Dr. Firouz may also place small drains in the chest to help remove excess fluids. Soreness, bruising, and swelling are normal side effects after surgery. They will peak in the first postoperative week and then gradually lessen with time. You can take prescription painkillers prescribed by the doctor, and then switch to over-the-counter painkillers within the first week of healing.

While you are encouraged to take gentle walks right away after your procedure, you should steer clear of strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for around 4-6 weeks. Dr. Firouz will show you how to manage your incisions and perform implant massage to lower the risk of capsular contracture (hardened scar tissue). Most patients can resume work within 1-2 weeks, provided that their jobs are sedentary. 

Recovery Tips After Breast Augmentation

Dr. Firouz will be on hand to provide guidance and support at every phase of your breast augmentation journey, including long after you are discharged from his care. Tips for optimizing your healing process after surgery include the following:

  • Don’t engage in strenuous activity too quickly – The last thing you want to do after breast augmentation is to rush into exercise, as this could cause your implants to migrate or rupture. Wait the full amount of time recommended by Dr. Firouz before returning to your workouts.
  • Wear your compression garment – You should wear your compression garment continuously until Dr. Firouz advises you otherwise. This will ensure the best results and help limit swelling.
  • Fill your prescriptions early – After surgery, it will be much more complicated and challenging to deal with the pharmacist. Dr. Firouz suggests that you fill prescriptions for painkillers and antibiotics ahead of time, reducing overall stress.
  • Prep your meals – Having your favorite foods on hand during recovery is ideal, so prepare simple meals ahead of time that you like.
  • Stay hydrated – Drink plenty of water during recovery, as this will support your body as it heals and combat constipation caused by anesthesia.

Alexa W.

Dr. Firouz and his staff are in this field I cannot begin to tell you how incredible.

33I was always extremely hesitant to do the hair transplant procedure. In fact, I went to consults with three different doctors over the years. One doctor I did a consult with twice. And I could never pull the trigger. The amount of trust and faith I had with Dr. Firouz help me make the decision to go with him for my procedure and I am resoundingly happy and excited at the results. I have recommended so many of my friends and colleagues to him and they feel the same. He is the best in this field.

Breast AugmentationFAQ

Is Breast Augmentation Painful?

Dr. Firouz takes your comfort extremely seriously and does everything possible to ensure a seamless, stress-free treatment journey. Your breast augmentation in Beverly Hills is performed under general anesthesia, allowing you to sleep through the whole process and wake up with no memory of the surgery. Afterward, Dr. Firouz will prescribe narcotic pain medications to help control any discomfort or soreness in the chest.

How Long Until I See Results?

Most patients will see their implants settle within 3-6 weeks. For some, it can take up to 3 months.

What Will the Scarring Look Like?

Dr. Firouz always strives to place incisions in areas where scarring will later be the most imperceptible and inconspicuous. With an inframammary incision, scarring is hidden by the bra line. With a periareolar incision, scars are unnoticeable within the darker pigments of the nipples. At first, your scars will look red and raised, but with time, they will flatten and fade to match your skin color.

When Can I Exercise Again After My Breast Augmentation?

Most patients can resume exercise within 4-6 weeks. However, each person is unique, and Dr. Firouz will have the last word on the right timeline for returning to the gym.

Can I Combine Breast Augmentation with Other Procedures?

Yes, of course. Dr. Firouz commonly pairs breast augmentation with a breast lift or mommy makeover, but other combinations are possible.
