Breast Augmentation Stockton, CA | Dr Nathan A. Kludt, MD

Breast Augmentation Overview

Breast augmentation is a specialized surgical procedure designed for women seeking to enhance their breast size, restore volume, and improve overall breast projection. Patients may pursue this procedure for various reasons, including addressing breast asymmetry, restoring breast shape after pregnancy or weight loss, or achieving desired aesthetic proportions.

Procedure Details

The Plastic Surgery Center of Stockton offers comprehensive breast augmentation services with meticulous attention to patient preferences and individual anatomy. Dr. Nathan A. Kludt carefully evaluates multiple factors to recommend the most appropriate surgical approach.

Incision Options

• Periareolar Incision: Strategically placed around the lower half of the areola
• Inframammary Incision: Discreetly positioned underneath the breast to minimize surgical scarring

Implant Placement Techniques

• Submuscular Placement: Underneath the pectoral muscle for a natural appearance
• Subglandular Placement: Behind breast tissue and over the pectoral muscle

Implant Selection

Patients can choose between silicone and saline implants. Silicone implants are typically preferred for their natural feel, softer texture, and lower deflation rates. Saline implants offer a more cost-effective alternative with slightly smaller incision requirements.

Surgical Procedure

Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia in an accredited surgical facility, typically lasting between 1-1.5 hours. Patients can expect a carefully managed recovery process with gradual return to normal activities.

Recovery Timeline

• Normal activities can typically resume within 7 days
• Exercise restrictions for 4-6 weeks
• Full aesthetic and functional recovery around 6 months post-surgery
