If you are getting breast augmentation with breast implants, the implant will be placed behind the chest muscle in most cases. There are a few exceptions where the breast implant is placed over the chest muscle due to the activity level you may enjoy. 
At NorCal Plastic Surgery, we use gummy bear implants, which are smooth, round implants that will enhance the appearance of your natural breast, safely. They are among the safest and most commonly used implants for breast augmentation. 
Breast implants do not cause breast cancer or any other systemic diseases. Numerous studies have shown no difference in survival between augmented and nonaugmented patients with breast cancer. Studies have also shown you may continue your recommended breast cancer screening with mammograms or any other technology recommended by your primary care physician.
There are also a few options for placement of the incision, such as under the armpit, along the border of the areola, and under the breast. During your initial consultation, we will determine implant placement and incision type.

Breast Augmentation

If you are getting breast augmentation with breast implants, the implant will be placed behind the chest muscle in most cases. There are a few exceptions where the breast implant is placed over the chest muscle due to the activity level you may enjoy. 
At NorCal Plastic Surgery, we use gummy bear implants, which are smooth, round implants that will enhance the appearance of your natural breast, safely. They are among the safest and most commonly used implants for breast augmentation. 
There are also a few options for placement of the incision, such as under the armpit, along the border of the areola, and under the breast. During your initial consultation, we will determine implant placement and incision type.
Breast augmentation can also be achieved with breast fat grafting, which uses liposuction to collect the fat and then small cannulae to graft the fat into the breasts. Many women also combine breast augmentation with a breast lift, which can help improve breast sagging.

I'm 31yr, 5'8", 120lbs. I want perkier, rounder, fuller breasts (32B/C to 32D), with nipples pointing forward (or slightly up), centered and less puffy. I've been advised to get a Benelli/donut lift plus 250-275cc round moderate plus profile silicone implants, inserted via the IMF (dual-plane). See my photos for measurements, inspiration, and dislikes. Can my goals be met without a lift? Would you recommend one for me? If so, I'd also want to reduce my areola size.

Will implants alone achieve my desired rounder and fuller 32d breasts with centered nipples, or is a lift needed? (Photo)

Recovery from breast augmentation can take four to six weeks. During your recovery, we recommend only doing low-stress activities for the first two weeks, such as short walks and regular household activities. At two-weeks post op, we recommend you begin some low impact cardio like exercising with an elliptical or stair master, or hiking if you prefer being outdoors.
After four weeks, you can begin to reintroduce resistance training with no chest exercise. For breast augmentation patients, we recommend no chest exercises until about eight to twelve weeks after surgery to ensure that the precise location of the implant does not shift in an unwanted direction.

I'm a single parent who has the kids week on week off. Could I recover alone during the week I don't have the kids? I don't have a partner to care for me

Is it possible to recover from breast augmentation alone in the week I don't have my kids?

You may be a candidate for breast augmentation, there are many sizes and considerations. When picking the size of your implant, the implant must fit your body type. We will take measurements to ensure the most natural-appearing results that fit your body and achieve your aesthetic goals.
Healthy women desiring larger breasts with more cleavage are good candidates for breast augmentation. If you are getting breast augmentation with breast implants, the implant will be placed behind the chest muscle in most cases. There are a few exceptions where the breast implant is placed over the chest muscle due to the activity level you may enjoy.

I had saline implants in 2010, removed them and had a lift in 2019. Since the last surgery, I’ve had a scar bulge under my left breast but lived with it. After weight loss, my breasts are no longer perky, with stretch marks and sagging. I want perkier breasts with some fullness but not larger, and I’d like to reduce scarring if possible. Unsure if I need another lift, implants, or options like fat transfer or laser. I expect surgery but want to hear all options, including less invasive ones. :)

Which procedure would keep me at the same size while helping me achieve a fuller, perkier look? (photos)

Typically, the downtime for recovering from a facelift is one to two weeks. There will be some bruising and swelling after your facelift, but this generally subsides over two weeks. If you are planning a big event, we advise that you have your facelift at least eight to twelve weeks beforehand.
There should be minimal discomfort, as Dr. Rankin uses a long-acting local anesthetic to improve overall recovery time. You can choose an outpatient or inpatient surgery for your facelift, which will be performed at one of our surgical centers in Greenbrae or Walnut Creek, conveniently serving the entire Bay Area. With either option, you will be sent home with minimal facial dressings to promote healing.

Thinking about a facelift, but concerned about taking time off work. When can I go in public without looking like a freak (or like I just had facelift surgery!)?
