Breast Augmentation

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Cosmetic breast augmentation surgery is a procedure that resizes the breasts to give them a rounder, fuller look. It is generally known to be one of the most desired cosmetic surgeries, providing women who are unhappy with their breast size numerous opportunities for improvement. With the help of breast implants or fat grafting, this enhancement surgery improves breast size and shape and results in an attractive and natural-looking outcome. Dr. Jose Rodriguez, a premier plastic surgeon in San Diego, CA, specializes in breast augmentation and other cosmetic procedures for patients all over the area. When you have your consultation at our office, Dr. Rodriguez and our staff will assess your aesthetic desires and concerns and educate you on all of the options available before building a treatment plan to help you achieve your desired look.

How Does Breast Augmentation Surgery Work?

All cosmetic procedures are performed in the comfort and convenience of our practice's private operating room. During your consultation, Dr. Rodriguez will go over the intended placement of the incision, as well as how the implant will be inserted. There are three methods that may be chosen for implant placement. These include either under the pectoral muscle, subfascial or submammary/subglandular placement (over the pec muscle). Dr. Rodriguez’s preferred method of placement is subfascial. Regardless of incision type, scarring is generally minimal.
