Orange County Breast Augmentation

Enhancing breast size and shape can restore body confidence and improve overall balance. At Cara Plastic Surgery, we specialize in breast augmentation procedures in Orange County designed to create natural, beautiful results that reflect each patient’s unique goals.

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that enhances the size and contour of the breasts. Using saline or silicone implants, the surgery adds volume, improves symmetry, and restores fullness often lost through aging, weight changes, or pregnancy.

Commonly paired with a breast lift or included in a mommy makeover, breast augmentation is one of the most frequently performed procedures in Orange County due to its highly customizable nature and long-lasting results.

Breast Augmentation at Cara Plastic Surgery

At our facility in Orange County, breast augmentation is performed by Dr. David Kahng, a board-certified plastic surgeon with extensive training and a reputation for precision and artistry. His approach emphasizes balance, proportion, and a natural aesthetic, using the latest techniques to achieve optimal outcomes with minimal scarring.

Each surgical plan is tailored to the individual, taking into account body type, tissue characteristics, and lifestyle preferences.

Types of Breast Implants Offered

We provide a full range of FDA-approved breast implants in Orange County to suit varying body shapes and cosmetic goals:

Saline-Filled Implants

These implants are inserted empty and filled with sterile saltwater after placement. They allow for flexible sizing and smaller incisions, and the body can safely absorb the saline if a rupture occurs.

Silicone Gel Implants

Pre-filled with cohesive silicone gel, these implants offer a natural look and feel, closely mimicking real breast tissue. They have a long safety history and are favored for their realism.

Structured Saline Implants

These are filled with saline but feature an internal structure that maintains shape, offering a compromise between the firmness of silicone and the flexibility of saline.

Gummy Bear Implants

These cohesive silicone implants are form-stable, maintaining their shape even when cut. They are firmer than traditional silicone and often chosen for their durability and anatomical contouring.

Procedure Overview

Prior to surgery, patients undergo a detailed consultation to determine the right implant type, size, placement, and incision location. Options include:

Incision locations: inframammary (under the breast), periareolar (around the nipple), transaxillary (under the arm), or transumbilical (through the belly button).
Placement: subglandular (above the muscle) or submuscular (beneath the muscle), depending on your tissue characteristics and desired look.

The procedure typically takes one to three hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Patients return home the same day.

Implant Placement Options

Subglandular

This method places the implant above the pectoral muscle but beneath the breast tissue. It is suitable for patients with sufficient natural tissue to cover the implant and often allows for easier recovery.

Submuscular

Here, the implant is positioned under both the breast tissue and pectoral muscle. This can produce a more natural slope and is often recommended for individuals with less natural breast tissue. It may reduce the risk of visible implant edges or complications like capsular contracture.

Recovery & Aftercare

Patients should plan for several days of rest following surgery, with most returning to light activities within one to two weeks. A support garment is typically worn to reduce swelling and help the breasts settle into position.

Temporary drains may be used in some cases. Detailed post-operative instructions are provided, covering incision care, physical activity, and signs to watch during healing. Follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor progress and support long-term results.
