Breast Implants in Beverly Hills
Breast implants are the most popular option for women who want to increase the size of their breasts. But they also can be central for patients who want to restore their breasts following a mastectomy or similar procedure. Dr. Chiu provides several options and personalized procedures for patients who want to discover the boost in confidence that can come with increased breast volume with breast implants in Beverly Hills.
What Are Breast Implants?Breast implants are cosmetic prostheses used to increase breast size or restore breast shape following certain surgeries or conditions.
Breast Augmentation
A staple cosmetic procedure that focuses on boosting breast volume. During a breast augmentation procedure, your surgeon places a breast implant to enlarge your breasts to the desired size.
Breast Reconstruction
Following a mastectomy for breast cancer, breast implants allow patients to reclaim their body. Precise placement of a breast implant can restore the breast to a well-shaped, alluring aesthetic.
Breast Asymmetry Correction
Breast implants can benefit patients who have breasts of different sizes. By placing an implant in one of the breasts, the sizes can be matched for better symmetry.

How Long Implants Last
Final results can take some time to be apparent, as the breast tissues must fully settle into their new position. However, you can see size improvements right away. Keep in mind that careful adherence to post-procedure care is vital to seeing lasting positive results. Breast implant improvements can last for years, depending on how well you care for your breasts. The FDA recommends saline implants be replaced every 10-12 years, due to the increased risk of rupture after 10 years. While silicone implants are designed to last your lifetime, the FDA still recommends replacement after 10-15 years, or at least regular studies to ensure they remain intact. Pregnancy and weight loss or gain can also impact long-term results.
Overview of an Augmentation Surgery With Implants
Initial Consultation
The consultation involves a comprehensive discussion of your goals and expectations. Candidates for breast augmentation can learn about implant types and the advantages and limitations of each option. By the end of the consultation, you will have a full procedure plan, including implant type, size, and shape. You may also combine augmentation with a breast lift.
Preparing for the Procedure
Preparing is straightforward and can include only a few steps. Examples are obtaining bloodwork, pausing medications, arranging a ride home, and avoiding tobacco. Dr. Chiu will provide personalized preparation instructions.
Day of the Procedure
Surgery takes about 1.5 hours on average. You will be under general anesthesia the entire time, so it will be painless and over in a flash. After, someone will need to drive you home.
Recovering from Your Breast Implant Surgery
-
The First Week
Some swelling, bruising, and discomfort are normal. Follow your post-procedure instructions and you will see gradual improvements. Be prepared to take time away from work and any physical activity.
-
The Second Week
Continued improvements. By the end of this week, patients should be able to return to work. Only light activity for now.
-
Third to Fourth Weeks
Most swelling should fade by this time. You can return to mild physical activity, but keep your breasts safe.
-
Beyond
Once everything is healed, you can return to your full routine. Usually, this is around the eighth week after surgery.
