Newport Beach Breast Implants

For plastic surgery patients in Newport Beach, breast implantscan help improve the shape, volume and size of their breasts. As one of the most sought after doctors in Newport Beach, breast enlargement specialist and board-certified plastic surgeon Terry Dubrow, M.D. has helped hundreds of women achieve a shapelier figure and greater self-confidence through breast implant surgery.

As a strictly results-oriented plastic surgeon, Dr. Dubrow has mastered breast augmentation techniques using the safest best FDA-approved breast implant types. Each type of breast implant is best suited for a particular circumstance and procedure, such as a breast enlargement or a breast lift or in some cases, a breast reduction.

Saline and Silicone Breast Implants

There are two main types of breast implant: saline breast implants and silicone breast implants. The FDA approved use of saline breast implants manufactured by Allergen and Mentor for use in breast augmentation in women older than 18 years old. Although the use of certain types of silicone gel-filled implants gave rise to some controversy beginning in the late 1980s and early 1990s, the FDA has approved the use of silicone breast implants for women over 22-years of age or women of any age who are undergoing breast reconstruction surgery. In both cases, the age limit was set by the FDA to compensate for the changes that a woman’s body goes through as she enters maturity.

All breast implants come in a few different shapes and textures.

• Round implants can move freely in the breast pocket without changing the shape of the breast.

• Anatomical implantsalso known as teardrop-shaped or contoured implants, are designed to replicate a more natural-looking breast—but extra care must be taken by the surgeon to ensure that they do not shift or rotate, given their asymmetrical shape.

• Textured implants are designed to prevent movement or shifting after they’ve been inserted. Some doctors believe that textured implants cause less capsular contracture (internal scarring).

Choosing the right breast implants depends heavily on your body type and goals. As an experienced breast enhancement surgeon, Dr. Dubrow can recommend the best type of breast implant that will produce the desired results.
