Breast Augmentation San Diego: Silicone Gel Breast Implants

Breast Augmentation San Diego: Silicone Gel Breast Implants



Plastic surgeons like silicone gel implants, not only because they are safe, but because silicone breast enhancements feel and look completely natural. Dr. Pousti has been involved with two studies for Mentor Silicone Implants and Inamed Silicone Implants for the past 10 years and therefore has experience with using these silicone gel implants on many patients. These studies were in place to give the FDA the additional data they require before they would approve silicone breast implants for general use.

The surgical technique used for silicone gel implants will be discussed with you when you meet with Dr. Pousti. Silicone breast enhancement procedures take approximately two hours. Silicone gel implants are pre-filled and so the incision may be a little longer than those of saline filled implants. The pocket is made for the implant just as for the saline implant�with Dr. Pousti’s fingers so that the risk of severing nerves is decreased. During your consultation at our La Jolla, San Diego office and after a thorough examination, Dr. Pousti will discuss every detail of your silicone breast enhancement, including the exact size and type of silicone breast implants he will use and their relative advantages. Silicone breast enhancements are performed on an outpatient basis at our surgical center in San Diego under general anesthesia.

During the first week, a brassiere will be fitted and you will be permitted to shower, perhaps as quickly as two to three days post-op. Initially, the breasts will appear to be slightly higher than normal and swollen. Over three to six weeks the implant will descend to a more natural position. Also, the chest will feel somewhat sore for the first few days. This should abate very quickly, and by the end of the first week you should be very comfortable.
