BREAST AUGMENTATION WALNUT CREEK, CA | JOSEPH A. MELE, MD, FACS

UNDERSTANDING BREAST AUGMENTATION

Breast Augmentation is a cosmetic plastic surgery procedure designed
to increase the size and improve the shape of a woman's breasts. This
transformative surgical option helps women enhance their body contours
and boost self-confidence.

PROCEDURE OVERVIEW

During breast augmentation, Dr. Mele carefully makes a small incision
either in the breast crease or along the areola's edge. Saline or
silicone gel breast implants are then gently inserted beneath the
pectoral muscles to create a natural, balanced appearance.

CANDIDATE QUALIFICATIONS

Ideal candidates for breast augmentation typically:

 	* Are over 18 years old
	* Have realistic surgical expectations
	* Are in good overall health
	* Desire improved breast symmetry and proportion

IMPLANT OPTIONS

Patients can choose between saline and silicone gel implants, with
options for smooth or textured surfaces and various shapes. Dr. Mele
will help determine the most suitable implant type during a
comprehensive consultation.

SURGICAL APPROACH

Dr. Mele offers multiple incision techniques, including periareolar
and inframammary approaches, ensuring optimal placement and minimal
scarring. The procedure is typically performed under general
anesthesia in an accredited surgical center.

RECOVERY AND EXPECTATIONS

Most patients experience significant improvement by the end of the
first week, with most postoperative restrictions lifted within two
weeks. Individual recovery times may vary based on personal healing
processes.

ADDITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS

Breast augmentation can be combined with other procedures like tummy
tuck or liposuction for comprehensive body contouring results.
