Beverly Hills 24 Hour Recovery Breast Augmentation

After 45 years since breast augmentation surgeries were first performed, science has determined how to best perform this surgery. Breast augmentation is the most common plastic surgical procedure being performed in women today, at just over 296,000 procedures a year in 2010. Unfortunately, national averages for revision breast implant surgery are also very high, being reported at 10 to 20 % within 3 years from original surgery!! The reasons are many, but include that many surgeons are not doing the best for their patients by letting them pick the implant size, even if it is not the appropriate sized implant for their bodies’ anatomy – and this occurs on an all too frequent basis. Another reason is that the average surgeon is not adhering to surgical principles that have been scientifically shown to not only vastly reduce complications that lead to revision surgery, but also drastically decrease recovery time and discomfort.

Dr. Minniti has a two step process to make breast augmentation an easy and quick surgery to have and recover from. Whether you are a young collegiate busy with school activities, a mom with kids and a home to manage, a professional with a business to attend to, or an athlete, these techniques will allow you to enhance your breasts perfectly.

Step One – Pre-operative Planning
The best first step in a flawless breast augmentation is patient education regarding appropriate implant size. Patient goals are not ignored, but tempered within the realm of her body’s anatomy. Tissue thickness, tissue stretch, breast width, and ribcage shape and size play the most important role in determining implant size. Implant profile should be either low or intermediate to achieve a long lasting, complication free result.

Step Two – The Surgery
There are two important goals in achieving a perfect surgery that will lead to minimal pain, and no bruising. The first is meticulous surgical technique. A gentle touch using the electrocautery device allows me to perform the surgery with respect for the tissue and preventing unnecessary injury or trauma. Creating the appropriately sized pocket for the implant in this way will lead to minimal inflammation and no bleeding. This translates into less discomfort and no bruising. The second part is called the ‘no-touch’ method of implant placement. A special funnel delivers the implant into the pocket without the implant ever touching anything: gloves, drapes, or the patient’s skin. This dramatically reduces the possibility of implant contamination, the major cause of thickened and firm scar tissue build up around the implant called capsular contracture. Any last minute adjustments necessary are done in the same meticulous way, using the electrocautery under direct vision and without the need to tear tissue.

Dr. Minniti’s use of scientifically proven techniques and his extensive experience allows him to perform breast augmentation surgery with as little as 24 hours of recovery to normal activities. He has performed over 3000 of these surgeries with great success and a much lower rate of revision, about 2%. Don’t hesitate to call for a consultation if you are interested in breast augmentation with the lowest risk and the highest satisfaction.
