The perfect body proportions are quite individual.

Some women find that their breast size is not proportional to the rest of their body. Women whose breasts are too small choose to enhance their contour and size with an augmentation procedure. Others with large breasts will benefit aesthetically as well as physically in reducing their size. Your dimensions help you and Dr. Beltran decide more specifically about the individual results you want to achieve. Those who choose breast augmentation will actively discuss both the size, and placement of the implant.

An incision may be placed in the fold beneath the breast, around the lower half of the areola, or in the axilla. A pocket is then created, usually beneath the pectoral muscle, and the implant is inserted. The shell of the implant is made of a silicone polymer filled with saline solution. The incision is closed in such a manner to minimize scar formation.

Those who choose a reduction look not only to improve their appearance but also to increase the ease with which they engage in physical activity. During this consultation, Dr. Beltran will explain the results he can achieve for you. The breast reduction procedure involves removing excess breast tissue and skin. In some cases, repositioning the nipple, areola and remaining tissue may be necessary. The procedure of augmentation and reduction are completed on an outpatient basis.

Afterward, you may feel tired and sore for several days and your breasts may remain swollen and sensitive to physical contact for up to a month. The symptoms are much less severe following an augmentation as opposed to having a breast reduction or breast lift. In fact, most patients are driving three days after surgery. You will experience the most discomfort during the first two days and will be given medication to ease the pain.

Results of these surgeries are excellent and all women agree that they would gladly go through the surgical process again to achieve the results. Dr. Beltran will put forth his best effort to achieve the most aesthetically pleasing, long lasting, and most natural results for each patient.

Small, sagging, and overly abundant breasts are often a source of personal embarrassment and physical pain. Imagine havingbeautiful new breasts.

Q: Can I breast feed?
A: Yes, if the implant is placed below the muscle. No, if the implant is placed above the muscle. Dr. Beltran will advise you of the best placement for your body type.

Q: Are implants above or below the muscle?
A: Generally implants are placed above the muscle if there is sufficient existing breast tissue and below the muscle if there is a small amount of breast tissue.

Q: Do I need to wear a bra?
A: A bra will support the weight of your breasts and help to avoid the natural effects of gravity.

Q: Will I need to replace my implants in 10 years?
A: Not unless special circumstances arise. Dr. Beltran will discuss with you those circumstances, which involves a possible implant collapse and/ or damage. However, this is a very rare occurrence.
