Santa Monica Breast Implants  Women who desire larger breasts may wish to have a Santa Monica breast implant procedure. Santa Monica breast implants may also be indicated for women who have one breast that is noticeably smaller than the other. Dr. Teitelbaum is a Santa Monica plastic surgeon specialing in breast augmentation with breast implants. Breast augmentation is intended to give the patient larger and more shapely breasts with breast implants. A more positive self image may also be a result of breast augmentation. An incision is made either underneath the breast just above the crease, around the lower edge of the areola (the pigmented area surrounding the nipple) or in the armpit. Breast augmentation is done on an outpatient basis under general anesthesia. A small incision is made under the breast and a breast implant is inserted under the breast tissue or under the breast tissue and the underlying muscle. The patient goes home in an elastic bra. The bra helps hold the breasts in the correct position. Initial discomfort is controlled with oral medication. Sutures are usually removed in 7-12 days. Light activities can be resumed as tolerated and aerobic activities can be started in about 3 weeks. Moving or sliding the implants within the breast pockets during the postoperative period may reduce the frequency of wrinkling. To schedule a consultation or for more questions call this Santa Monica breast implants specialist at 310-315-1121 or email.
