Many women want fuller, shapelier breasts. Natural-looking breasts not only elevate self-confidence but also improve overall body image. At Athēnix, we provide a variety of options for breast augmentation in Orange County that are customized to your individual body shape and anatomy.
Many women voice dissatisfaction with their breast size or shape. Potential candidates for breast augmentation often have one or more of the following concerns:
The decision regarding implant placement is critical in breast augmentation. Based on your objectives and physique, surgeons establish a "pocket" for the implants either beneath the chest muscle or above the muscle within the breast tissue.
In this procedure, we carefully extract excess fatty tissue from specific areas of the body using VASER® or Body-Jet water-assisted liposuction. The fat is then purified and utilized to enhance the size and shape of your breasts. As your body's own fat cells are used to augment your breasts, this procedure can achieve a softer, smoother, and more natural appearance, along with the following additional benefits:

Every type of implant offers distinct advantages, and the selection of implant should be tailored to the individual's body shape, as well as the amount of natural fat and breast tissue.
Silicone implants closely resemble natural breast tissue, whereas saline implants enable a smaller incision as they can be filled after placement.
Breast augmentation, when performed properly, should not affect your ability to breastfeed your baby. At Athēnix, we take the time to understand each patient's needs before proceeding, including any plans for breastfeeding in the future.
A standard breast augmentation surgery generally lasts approximately one to two hours. If a breast lift is included in the procedure, the surgery may take slightly longer.
Natural fat transfer is a natural approach to breast augmentation. It entails extracting excess fat from another part of the body, purifying it, and injecting it into the breasts. Since it involves using your own body's fat, there is minimal risk of rejection, and the outcomes are soft and natural.
Each individual's requirements for breast augmentation vary. In many instances, the incisions are made in the natural crease below the breasts or around the areola, where they become nearly imperceptible once healed. For saline implants, the incision can be positioned in the fold of the armpit.
By diligently adhering to the postoperative care guidelines, refraining from vigorous motions or activities for the specified duration, and providing proper care for your new breasts, you should expect to feel back to normal within a few weeks.
If your breasts have descended lower on the chest wall due to skin laxity or after breastfeeding, it might be necessary to elevate them to a higher position as part of your enhancement.
This is frequently included in a breast augmentation or breast lift procedure. If the nipples are positioned at the bottom of the breast pointing downward or are larger than desired, this can be addressed as part of the procedure.
In certain instances, an abundance of scar tissue may form around the implant, causing it to tighten. This condition is known as capsular contracture and can be addressed through breast revision surgery.
Breast augmentation, similar to any surgical procedure, carries inherent risks. Potential complications include infection, bleeding, adverse reactions to anesthesia, implant leakage or rupture, scarring, changes in nipple sensation, and capsular contracture (hardening of the scar tissue around the implant).
