What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to enhance breast size, shape, and fullness through the use of implants or fat transfer. This customizable procedure allows patients to achieve a balanced figure, restore lost volume, and feel more confident in their body. Our experienced team ensures that each treatment plan aligns with your unique goals, using safe, advanced techniques.

- Consultation: During your consultation, we’ll discuss your goals, review implant types, and assess the best surgical options for you.
- Anesthesia: We use general anesthesia to ensure a comfortable and safe experience.

Preparation Tips
To ensure the best outcome and smooth recovery, please follow these guidelines before your procedure:
- Avoid Smoking: Refrain from smoking at least two weeks before surgery.
- Pause Certain Medications: Avoid aspirin and other blood-thinning medications as advised.

Breast Augmentation Recovery Process
Recovery from breast augmentation is typically straightforward, with most patients returning to non-strenuous activities within a week. Patients may experience some mild swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed pain medication. It’s important to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for the first few weeks. Full results will be visible as the breasts settle into their natural position over a few months.
Breast Augmentation FAQs
What is the average cost of breast augmentation in California?
Breast augmentation costs in California will vary depending on a number of factors, including the surgeon’s fee, the facility fees, and the type of implant used. In general, saline breast implants will cost between $6,000 and $7,000, while silicone breast implants will cost between $7,500 and $9,500. At San Diego Body Contouring our board-certified plastic surgeon will give you amazing results at an affordable price and we have financing options available. Book a free consultation today.
How do I choose a breast implant size?
A good rule of thumb is that for every cup size you wish to go up, add on 250 ccs. For example, if you are looking to increase your breasts’ size by one and a half cups, then it is likely that you would want approximately 375 cc-sized implants. If you would like more information or help to choose a breast implant size that best suits you then schedule a free consultation at San Diego Body Contouring.
Do and don’ts after breast augmentation?
Refrain from getting your breasts wet – either in a bath, shower, or pool, for the first weeks after your surgery. Don’t smoke. Smoking negatively impacts your body’s ability to heal after surgery. After your breast augmentation, don’t wear an underwire bra, which can not only be painful but also prevent your breast implants from settling properly. During your free consultation at San Diego Body Contouring, Dr. Sarosy can review what to expect before and after your breast augmentation surgery.
What age is recommended for breast implants?
Even if you feel your breasts are fully developed by age 16, we recommend waiting until at least age 18 before having breast augmentation surgery. The FDA-recommended minimum age for breast implants is: 18 years old for saline implants. 22 years old for silicone implants.
How soon after breast augmentation can I lift my arms?
Following your breast augmentation or implants, we recommend no lifting and keeping the arms below the shoulder for at least two weeks. After that, your arms can then be raised. And for 3 months we recommend no lifting at all or no more than 10 pounds, if necessary.
