Orange County Asian Breast Augmentation

Enhancing breast volume and shape requires precision, especially for patients with petite frames and distinct anatomical features. At Cara Plastic Surgery in Orange County, we specialize in Asian breast augmentation, offering carefully customized surgical plans to achieve natural, harmonious results.

Why Asian Breast Augmentation Requires a Specialized Approach

While every individual is unique, many Asian women share certain physical characteristics—such as narrower chests, smaller frames, and finer skin—that require a personalized surgical strategy. At our Orange County practice, Dr. David Kahng draws upon extensive experience with Asian aesthetics to create proportionate, natural-looking results that enhance your overall silhouette. Rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach, each breast augmentation is planned in detail to align with your body type, tissue characteristics, and aesthetic goals.

Understanding the Differences in Asian Breast Augmentation

Implant Placement

Because many Asian patients have less natural breast tissue, implants are often best placed under the pectoral muscle using a dual-plane technique. This method creates a smooth upper breast contour and helps achieve a more natural profile. Submuscular placement also reduces the visibility of implant edges and lowers the risk of rippling.

Implant Type

For patients with petite builds, cohesive silicone gel (gummy bear) implants are often recommended. These implants hold their shape well and provide a soft, natural feel. While saline implants are an option, they are less frequently selected due to their tendency to feel less lifelike and be more prone to wrinkling in thinner patients.

Implant Size

Proportionality is key. Dr. Kahng will assess your chest width, ribcage structure, and skin elasticity to determine the appropriate implant size. Most Asian women benefit from implants that increase cup size modestly, enhancing the bustline without overwhelming the frame.

Implant Profile

Depending on your anatomy and desired outcome, moderate or high profile implants may be recommended. These options influence how much the breasts project forward from the chest, affecting the final contour.

Incision Techniques for Asian Patients

Due to a higher risk of visible or pigmented scarring in some Asian skin types, incision placement is particularly important. Common incision locations include:

Inframammary (under the breast fold): Offers discreet placement with good access for precise implant positioning.
Periareolar (around the nipple): Can minimize scar visibility in patients with sufficient areolar pigmentation.
Transaxillary (through the armpit): Avoids scarring on the breast itself, though may be better suited to certain implant types and sizes.

Dr. Kahng uses delicate techniques and closes incisions with great care to support smooth healing and subtle scar formation.

The Procedure

The surgical process for Asian breast augmentation in Orange County at Cara Plastic Surgery involves several refined steps:

General anesthesia is administered.
A carefully selected incision is made.
A pocket is created for the implant—either under the muscle or breast tissue.
The implant is inserted using the “No Touch” Keller Funnel technique.
Incisions are closed with fine sutures to support optimal healing.

Dr. Kahng also irrigates the surgical pocket with antibiotic saline solution—avoiding betadine—to help reduce the risk of complications like capsular contracture.
