Recovering from breast augmentation is a gradual process that usually lasts several weeks. Most patients can resume light activities, such as walking and office work, within the first week after surgery. However, it's important to avoid strenuous activities and heavy lifting for at least 4 to 6 weeks to allow the body to recover properly. Swelling and discomfort are common during the first few days, and Dr. Ceballos will provide you with pain management and care instructions to help you during this period. You'll 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 following Dr. Ceballos's instructions, you'll be able to enjoy your improved results within a few months.

Breast implants are considered safe and have undergone rigorous testing and approval from regulatory bodies such as the FDA. Modern implants are made with advanced materials, 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 replace your implants due to factors such as natural aging, changes in breast tissue, or implant wear. Dr. Ceballos stresses the importance of regular checkups to monitor the condition of your implants and address any concerns immediately. By staying informed and keeping your follow-up appointments, you can ensure the safety and long-term success of your breast augmentation.

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

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 placing implants to provide the desired volume and shape, while fat is extracted 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 improve 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 result. Dr. Ceballos's experience in this technique ensures that you achieve the best possible balance between improvement and natural aesthetics.

Choosing the right implant size is a crucial step on your path to breast augmentation and requires careful consideration of your body proportions, aesthetic goals and lifestyle. During your consultation with Dr. Ceballos, you'll discuss your desired outcome and review different implant sizes and profiles. Dr. Ceballos will provide you with implants of different sizes so you can try them on and visualize what they will look like on your body. It will also take into account factors such as the width of your breast, the thickness of your breast tissue and the general shape of your body 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.
