So You Want To Have Perfect Breasts!

Beverly Hills breast augmentation techniques for remodeling breast shape and size, and the correction of breast sagging are a few of the most popular plastic surgery procedures, not only in Beverly Hills but throughout Southern California. With regards to breast augmentation plastic surgery Los Angeles specialists have advanced their techniques with an emphasis on better shaping and forming breasts and not just enlarging them. These methods for breast enhancement and augmentation have come about as a necessity for the correction of the breast deformities that are naturally present in the majority of women. The reason for this is that no woman is born with perfect breasts; and today's woman wants to have full, symmetrical, and naturally beautiful looking breasts.

According to a top plastic surgeon Los Angeles women should be aware that breasts come in many shapes and forms. No woman has identical breasts, and therefore breast asymmetry in terms of size, shape, and different degrees of sagging is rather the norm. Don't be fooled by the beautiful pictures of breasts that you see on models in magazines. If their breasts are perfectly shaped, sized, and contoured, they must be fake! And that is precisely why they underwent breast augmentation with breast implants. The goal of breast augmentation is not only to enlarge breasts but to also to improve the shape, symmetry, and proportionality.

Surgical Techniques for the correction of breast asymmetry

1. Asymmetry of breast size: Use of different size breast implants can help make the two breasts more similar in size. Saline breast implants have the advantage of being able to be adjusted in volume during surgery, in order to make the size correction more precise. It is also possible to remove excess breast tissue from one side in order to make the two sides more similar. This is more often done when breast augmentation is combined with a lift- Augmentopexy.
2. Asymmetry of breast shape: There are many factors that contribute to breast shape asymmetry, such as difference in the size of the areola, location of the areola, location of the under-breast fold, and differences in the fullness of outer and inner parts of the breasts. Although Los Angeles plastic surgery techniques can adjust the areola's size and location, it is very difficulty to consistently bring symmetry to the rest of the breast. Even if this is initially achieved, landmarks such as the infra-mammary fold or cleave can change with wound healing and settling of the implants.
3. Tubular breast deformity: The hallmark characteristic of tubular breast deformity is the relative enlargement of the areola in comparison to the width of the breast base. In another words, the breasts look narrow with a large areola. In these instances there is often a much higher incidence of size and shape asymmetry. Correction of this type of breast deformity is most challenging since there exists an inherent constriction of breast tissue which might not be able to be fully corrected at the initial surgery. Therefore, there is a much higher chance for requiring second stage or revision surgery.
4. Breast ptosis or sagging: Breast sagging or ptosis significantly diminishes the overall beauty of the breasts. This is a phenomenon that not only occurs with aging or childbirth, but that also exists among young women who have lost much weight, such as those after bariatric gastric bypass surgery. Plastic surgery methods for the correction of breast ptosis varies depending on the degree of breast sagging. For mild breast sagging a crescent lift is performed. For moderate breast sagging a peri-areolar breast lift is performed and for severe ptosis an inverted-T, Anchor, or a vertical mammoplasty is performed. While these techniques do correct breast ptosis, their longevity is not consistent and there is a significant rate of recurrence.

Surgical Techniques for modifying breast fullness, shape, and size
Enhancement of breast size goes beyond breast enlargement. It includes modifying the relative fullness of different parts of the breasts in order to make them look youthful and natural. For instance, while an aging breast might be very large on its lower poll, it might be very empty on its top, therefore making it look unattractive in a strapless dress. A breast lift or mastopexy can lift the sagging breast but it usually does not affect the relative volume of the upper poles of the breast, unless when a breast implant is used. Mentor Corporation has introduced a variety of Saline or Silicone implants that can increase breast fullness in different zones. A "high-profile" breast implant can add fullness to the central and upper poles of the breast. To the contrary, a "tear drop" breast implant increases the lower pole breast fullness without making the upper part of the breasts look overly full.
