Recovery from breast augmentation is a gradual process that typically spans several weeks. Most patients can return to light activities, such as walking and office work, within a week after surgery. However, it's important to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least 4 to 6 weeks to allow your body to heal properly. Swelling and soreness are common during the first few days, and Dr. Ceballos will provide pain management and aftercare instructions to help you through this period. You will also have follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure that your recovery is on track. Full recovery varies from patient to patient, but by following Dr. Ceballos’s guidance, you can expect to enjoy your enhanced results in just a few months.

Breast implants are considered safe and have undergone rigorous testing and approval by regulatory bodies such as the FDA. Modern implants are made with advanced materials that are designed to be durable and long-lasting. On average, breast implants can last 10 to 15 years or longer, but they are not considered lifetime devices. Over time, you may need to have your implants replaced due to factors such as natural aging, changes in breast tissue, or implant wear. Dr. Ceballos emphasizes the importance of regular check-ups to monitor the condition of your implants and to address any concerns promptly. By staying informed and maintaining your follow-up appointments, you can ensure the long-term safety and success of your breast augmentation.

Yes, breast augmentation is an effective solution for correcting breast asymmetry. Many women naturally have breasts that are slightly different in size or shape, and breast augmentation can help create a more balanced and symmetrical appearance. Dr. Ceballos can use different implant sizes or combine implants with fat transfer to address these differences. During your consultation, Dr. Ceballos will carefully assess your breast anatomy and discuss your goals to develop a customized surgical plan. This plan may involve the use of implants of varying sizes or shapes, or the strategic placement of fat to achieve the desired symmetry. The result is a more harmonious and proportionate look that enhances your overall body contour.

Hybrid breast augmentation is a specialized technique that combines the use of traditional breast implants with fat grafting to create a more natural look and feel. This approach involves the placement of implants to provide the desired volume and shape, while fat is harvested from other areas of your body—such as the abdomen, thighs, or flanks—and transferred to the breasts. The fat grafting process allows Dr. Ceballos to refine the contours of the breasts, soften the edges of the implants, and enhance the natural feel of the results. Hybrid augmentation is particularly beneficial for patients who want the fullness that implants provide but prefer a more subtle and natural outcome. Dr. Ceballos’s expertise in this technique ensures that you achieve the best possible balance between enhancement and natural aesthetics.

Choosing the right implant size is a crucial step in your breast augmentation journey, and it involves careful consideration of your body proportions, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle. During your consultation with Dr. Ceballos, you will discuss your desired outcome and review different implant sizes and profiles. Dr. Ceballos uses physical sizers to help you visualize how different implant sizes will look on your body. He will also take into account factors such as your chest width, breast tissue thickness, and overall body shape to recommend an implant size that complements your natural proportions. The goal is to achieve a balanced and harmonious result that enhances your appearance while maintaining a natural look.
