Breast Enlargement (breast augmentation) with breast implants (photographs)

Dr. Perlman has been performing breast augmentation surgery in his certified Beverly Hills office operating room since 1980.  He seeks the most natural looking results for his breast enlargement patients and emphasizes the need to avoid extreme changes in size for patients who wish to maintain a natural and well balanced appearance after placement of saline or silicone breast implants.  Many patients seek augmentation of their breasts with implants to achieve a size that they have not acquired naturally, but others wish to restore a former size that was lost after pregnancy, weight loss or simply as a result of growing older!

Breast augmentation surgery is performed under a light general anesthesia in our Beverly Hills certified and licensed operating facility.  Dr Perlman prefers placement of your implants so that they are covered in approximately their upper half by the pectoral muscle (subpectoral augmentation), although placement above the muscle (suprapectoral) is an option if you have thick natural breast tissue or have old breast implants that are being changed and had a satisfactory result from your previous breast implants positioned above the muscle.  Dr. Perlman prefers making the incision for placement of silicone breast implants within the perimeter of the lower nipple, and for saline breast implants prefers augmentation using a one inch incision well-hidden in the peak of the underarm (transaxillary).

Dr. Perlman also offers our breast augmentation patients the option of using a pain pump to make the postoperative recovery easier.  A fine threadlike catheter automatically drips small amounts of numbing solution into each surgical area for the first 24 to 48 hours.  We find that this technique alleviates about seventy percent of the discomfort after the surgical procedure and lessens the need for pain medications! 

At the bottom of this page you will find examples of healed surgical incisions in several of Dr. Perlman's saline breast augmentation patients' underarms.   Please note how these one inch incisions normally end up resembling fine wrinkle lines after healing is completed. There are additional examples of breast augmentation patients on the next page as well as examples of patients who underwent breast enlargement with implants following pregnancy that you can link to from the bottom of this page.  Remember that each person's results will differ after breast augmentation depending upon the thickness of your own breast tissue, your skin elasticity and other factors.  These procedures were all performed in our outpatient surgical facility under a light general anesthesia following which our patients usually went home or to a local hotel accompanied by a friend or family member.
