Breast augmentation is more than just an enhancement of physical appearance; it is often a journey toward self-empowerment and confidence. Many patients in Orange County, CA, seek Dr. Farbod Esmailian to improve the balance and proportion of their figures, which can have a profound impact on how they view themselves and how they are perceived by others. For some, breast augmentation is a way to restore breast shape due to factors like aging, weight loss, or pregnancy, bringing back a sense of femininity and youthfulness. In other cases, it may be performed following a mastectomy resulting from breast cancer.
Subglandular placement
The implant is placed in a pocket underneath breast tissue but above pectoral muscle. Result is perky, round breasts, and recovery tends to be more comfortable.
Submuscular placement
In submuscular placement, the implant is positioned beneath both the breast tissue and the pectoral muscle, resulting in a very natural-looking projection and a significantly lower risk of 'rippling' or capsular contracture.
Dual-plane placement
Dual-plane breast implant placement, often referred to as the 'best of both worlds' option, involves positioning the upper two-thirds of the implant beneath the pectoral muscle, while the lower third is placed over the muscle, resulting in perky, round, and realistic breast projection.
