Breast Augmentation Beverly Hills, CA | Dr. Neal Handel MD

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to improve the fullness, balance, and shape of a woman's figure through the strategic placement of breast implants. Dr. Neal Handel, a renowned plastic surgeon with extensive experience, specializes in delivering natural-looking and personalized breast enhancement results.

Implant Options and Techniques

Modern breast augmentation offers two primary implant types:

• Silicone gel-filled implants: Closely mimicking natural breast tissue
• Saline solution-filled implants: Offering alternative aesthetic options

Surgical Approach

Dr. Handel employs multiple incision techniques to minimize scarring and optimize aesthetic outcomes:

• Transaxillary approach (armpit)
• Periareolar approach (around nipple)
• Inframammary approach (breast fold)

Implant Placement Considerations

Implant positioning is carefully determined based on individual anatomy and aesthetic goals:

• Subglandular: Placed beneath breast tissue
• Submuscular: Positioned beneath breast tissue and pectoralis muscle

Patient Candidacy

Ideal candidates for breast augmentation typically include women who:

• Have naturally smaller breasts
• Experienced breast volume loss after pregnancy
• Desire improved breast symmetry and proportion

Potential Risks and Considerations

While breast augmentation is generally safe, patients should understand potential complications, which may include:

• Minimal risk of infection
• Potential sensory changes
• Rare instances of implant rupture

Long-Term Expectations

Modern breast implants are designed for durability, with many patients maintaining their original implants for decades. Regular follow-ups and monitoring ensure continued satisfaction and optimal results.
