Breast Implant Options

One of the key decisions for your breast augmentation will be choosing the right type of breast implant. Dr. Neavin offers several options to help candidates for breast augmentation achieve their desired results:

Saline Breast Implants

Filled with sterile salt water
Inserted empty and then filled once placed in the breast pocket
Allow for a smaller incision
Feel slightly firmer than silicone
Can be adjusted during surgery to correct breast asymmetry
Usually cost less than silicone implants
If they leak, your body safely absorbs the salt water

Silicone Breast Implants

Come pre-filled with a cohesive silicone gel
Feel very similar to natural breast tissue
Popular for their soft, natural feel
Lower chance of visible rippling
Most breast augmentation patients find they look and feel more realistic
If they rupture, the gel typically stays within the breast pocket
Need regular follow-ups over the years as part of the healing process

“Gummy Bear” Implants (Anatomical Implants)

A type of silicone implant made of thicker gel
Keep their shape even if the outer shell breaks
Very leak-resistant
Give the breast a stable, gently sloping shape
Feel natural yet hold their form over time
May need a slightly larger incision for placement
Often teardrop-shaped to mimic the breast’s natural contour

You can also choose between smooth implants and textured implants, each offering different benefits depending on your body type and aesthetic goals.

All implant types come in various sizes (measured in cubic centimeters) and profiles (how much they project from the chest wall).

Dr. Neavin will help you select the implant that best matches your desired cup size and body frame.

You’ll even get to “try on” different implant sizers during your initial consultation to visualize the potential results.

Implant Placement Methods

There are two primary implant placement options for your breast procedure:

Under the Muscle (Submuscular)

Implants go beneath the pectoral muscle
Gives a very natural slope
Provides extra tissue coverage
Ideal if you have minimal existing breast volume
Recovery may involve more muscle soreness

Over the Muscle (Subglandular)

Implants sit above the pectoral muscle, just under the breast glands
Can create more upper breast fullness and a perky appearance
Typically means an easier recovery process
Works best if you have enough existing breast tissue to cover the implant

Dr. Neavin will recommend the placement of breast implants that best suits your body shape, physical activities level, and desired outcome.

Incision Options for Breast Augmentation

Another aspect of your breast augmentation techniques is the choice of incision placement. Dr. Neavin is skilled in several surgical techniques and will place incisions strategically to minimize visible scarring.

Common incision locations include:

Inframammary Incision

Most common location
Cut is made in the breast crease (the fold under the breast)
Allows direct access for the surgeon
Leaves a scar that is hidden in the natural crease

Periareolar Incision

The cut circles the lower edge of the darker skin around the nipple
The scar tends to blend with the border of the areola
Very large implants may require a larger incision
Works well for most moderate sizes

Transaxillary Incisions

The incision is placed in the armpit
Leaves no scar on the breast itself
Uses a special endoscopic technique to create a tunnel to the breast
Avoids any breast scar but is used only in suitable cases due to its technical complexity

During your consultation, Dr. Neavin will discuss which incision option is best for your chosen implant type and personal preference. His goal is to ensure any scarring is as discreet as possible, even in bathing suits.

The Breast Implant Surgery

Under general anesthesia, Dr. Neavin will perform your breast augmentation procedure using the planned incision method and implant placement. This cosmetic surgery is typically performed on an outpatient basis.

He carefully creates a breast pocket for the implant (either under or over the muscle, as decided beforehand). Then he inserts the implant and positions it to achieve the desired symmetry and breast shape.

Once the implant is in place and everything looks perfect, he closes the incision with fine sutures and applies a special breast strap or surgical tape for support.

The surgery itself typically takes about 1 to 2 hours. A few hours after surgery, you will rest in a recovery area as the anesthesia wears off. Our medical team will monitor you to ensure you’re comfortable.

Most patients go home the same day once cleared, with post-operative instructions and a friend or family member to drive them.

Dr. Neavin’s meticulous technique and state-of-the-art facilities help make the procedure as smooth and safe as possible for ideal candidates.

Recovery Process and Aftercare

The breast augmentation recovery is typically quick, but you should plan to take it easy for a few weeks. Here’s what to expect during the recovery period:

First Week

You will have swelling, soreness, and a feeling of tightness in the chest
Dr. Neavin will prescribe pain medication to keep you comfortable
Avoid blood-thinning medications as instructed
Plan to rest and avoid strenuous activities
Wear your surgical support bra as directed to aid healing
Most patients take about a week off work (for non-physical jobs) to recover

Weeks 2-3

By the second week, you’ll likely feel much better
Swelling will decrease
You can resume many normal daily activities and light activities
Continue to avoid chest workouts or high-impact movements

Weeks 4-6

Around one month post-op, most patients are cleared for moderate physical activities
By six weeks, you can typically return to more strenuous activities, including upper-body exercises
Your breasts will continue to settle into a natural position as the natural aging process allows any remaining swelling to resolve

Everyone heals at their own pace, but following Dr. Neavin’s post-operative instructions will help ensure optimal healing and beautiful results.

If you have any questions or concerns during your recovery period, don’t hesitate to contact our office. Dr. Neavin and his expert team are here to provide exceptional care every step of the way.

Breast Augmentation Combined with Other Procedures

Many patients choose to combine breast augmentation with other cosmetic procedures for more comprehensive results:

Breast Lift

If you have excess skin or sagging, a breast lift procedure can be performed along with your augmentation to create a more youthful, perky appearance.

Tummy Tuck

After pregnancy or significant weight loss, many women opt for a combined tummy tuck breast augmentation to restore both areas. This addresses loose abdominal skin and weakened abdominal muscles while enhancing breast volume.

Mommy Makeover

This customized treatment plan may include breast augmentation, breast lift, tummy tuck, and other procedures to address multiple areas affected by pregnancy and childbirth.

Dr. Neavin can discuss these complex procedures during your consultation if you’re interested in addressing multiple concerns with one recovery period.

Risks and Safety Considerations

As with all surgical procedures, breast implant surgery carries some risks, including:

Infection
Bleeding
Reactions to anesthesia – though these are rare with an experienced plastic surgeon

Specific to breast augmentation patients, there is a chance of:

Capsular contracture (when scar tissue around the implant hardens)
Changes in nipple sensation (usually temporary)
Implant malposition or downward displacement
Potential for breast implant removal or breast revision surgery in the future

Dr. Neavin takes every precaution to maximize safety and will discuss all potential risks during your initial consultation. His level of skill and cutting-edge techniques greatly minimize the chance of complications.

It’s important to disclose all medical conditions during your consultation to ensure you’re a good candidate for breast augmentation.

Breast Augmentation Cost and Financing

In Beverly Hills, the breast augmentation cost typically ranges from $9,000 to $12,000+. This usually covers:

The surgeon’s fee
Anesthesia
Facility costs
Follow-up visits

The exact cost will depend on your treatment plan – factors like implant type, the need for additional procedures (such as a breast lift), and the complexity of the case.

Financing Options

We understand that cost is an important factor in your personal decision. Dr. Neavin’s office offers financing options to help make your breast enhancement procedure more affordable.

Many patients use payment plans through companies like CareCredit, which provide monthly payment options.

During your consultation, we will provide a detailed quote and discuss financing arrangements to fit your budget. Note that consultation fees are often applied toward your procedure if you move forward.

Common Questions About Breast Augmentation

Can I breastfeed after getting breast implants?

In most cases, yes. Breast augmentation does not usually interfere with breastfeeding. Dr. Neavin uses techniques that preserve milk ducts and breast tissue.

However, a periareolar incision could slightly increase the risk of difficulty with breastfeeding, so it’s important to discuss your plans during your consultation.

Will there be noticeable scars?

Dr. Neavin places incisions in locations where scars are very discreet (like under the breast crease or along the edge of the areola).

With time and proper care, surgical scars fade to fine lines. Most patients find that after several months, their scars are light and hardly noticeable, even in bathing suits.

Am I a good candidate for breast augmentation?

Ideal candidates are in good health, have realistic expectations, and are doing this for themselves – not to please someone else. During your initial consultation, Dr. Neavin will review your medical history and discuss whether you’re a suitable candidate for breast augmentation.

How long before I see my final results?

While you’ll notice an immediate change in breast size, the final results develop over several months as swelling subsides and implants settle. Most patients see their final breast shape and position at about 3-6 months post-surgery.

If you have any other questions, Dr. Neavin and his staff are happy to provide answers. Every question is important – our goal is for you to feel informed and confident in your decision.
