Breast Augmentation Reviews
Why Should I Undergo Breast Augmentation?
- Some women who have smaller breasts believe that they appear less womanly and less feminine. As a result, they may feel less confident. A woman’s lack of confidence is a real problem because it has a way of spreading into other areas in her life besides what is seen in the mirror. At SSK Plastic Surgery, we believe every woman has the right to look in the mirror and love the person looking back. Although there is beauty in embracing yourself just the way you are, in reality, most women have something they would like to change. Breast implant surgery has given many women the courage they need to feel sexy and confident in their skin. A breast augmentation surgeon, like Dr. Kelishadi, can help to bridge the gap between inner beauty and outer beauty, which can lead to enhanced confidence.
- You may want to look better in your clothes instead of feeling self-conscious. Every person has their own definition of beauty and their own idea of how they want to present themselves to the world. Breast augmentation in Orange County has been a solution for many happy women who have ideas for how they want their clothes to fit.
- If your breasts are smaller than your waist and hip sizes, you may long to balance your body’s ratios. Beauty is all about symmetry. A skilled breast implant surgeon can assess the implant size that you need to sculpt a well-proportioned figure.
SSK's Breast Implant Safety Ethics
At SSK Plastic Surgery, Dr. Sean Kelishadi puts his patients’ safety first. He uses the best techniques designed to provide beautiful aesthetic results and promote safety. Using a 14-point plan, Dr. Kelishadi can decrease capsular contracture, which reduces the chance of inflammation and infections. Capsular contracture is the formation of tough scar tissue around the pocket holding your implant. However, using a precise methodology, we lower the possibility of this condition occurring. When it comes to your implants, Dr. Kelishadi wants you to feel as comfortable as possible. That is why he offers:
- A five-year guarantee in case you do not feel happy about the appearance
- A lifetime guarantee for those who experience breast implant illness
- Free implant removal if needed
With your absolute needs in mind, you never have to worry about being overcharged or not receiving the best care possible.
What is a Breast Augmentation consultation?
With a small investment of time in allowing Dr. Kelishadi to get to know you and your goals, we can achieve the important results of having you feel and look your best through the addition of volume to enhance the shape and appearance of your bustline. As an experienced breast implant surgeon, he will take the time to help you feel secure and comfortable with your decision for breast enhancement. First and foremost, Dr. Kelishadi will take the time to discover the problem and talk to you about your very personal decision. Together, you and Dr. Kelishadi will define your expectations for your body and the path to achieving that goal. During your consultation, Dr. Kelishadi will address your questions and concerns about breast augmentation in Orange County and will discuss the best approach for your body. Many women research the internet for facts, but one of the problems is that the internet does not give them answers that are relevant to their unique body shapes. They need a personal evaluation and a knowledgeable conversation with a qualified surgeon.
How is Breast Augmentation Performed?
Are you curious to know what options for breast augmentation Orange County has to offer? We will discuss with you all options for Orange County plastic surgery — appropriate for your wishes, body size/shape, health, and values — by viewing and deciding on likely results.
- Breast augmentation or breast implants (silicone gel or saline, round or shaped, smooth or textured) restore lost volume or increase size. A breast lift may be needed to reduce/eliminate drooping and tighten a loose skin envelope. Your doctor will discuss the pros and cons of placing the implant above, partially behind, or completely behind the pectoralis major muscle.
- Revisional breast surgery: Over time, not only do your breasts and the surrounding soft tissue undergo changes, but so does your perception of body image as you reach different milestones in life. If you have had a prior breast enhancement done by us or elsewhere and have decided it is time for a change or simple “fine-tuning,” please schedule a consultation.
WHAT RESULTS CAN I EXPECT FROM BREAST AUGMENTATION?
We schedule to see you back no later than a week after surgery for your first follow-up appointment at SSK Plastic Surgery. We will continue to monitor your progress at regular intervals and make sure your healing is going as planned. Most of your sutures are dissolvable and work on the inside, helping to support your closure over a period of 2-6 months. To seal the skin edges, we use either skin glue or steri-strips (fine skin tape applied over incisions), and these usually fall off on their own when the skin has healed sufficiently. You will be allowed to shower the next day and even get your incision wet, but Dr. Kelishadi prefers that his patients not submerge their incision in water (such as in a bathtub, pool, ocean) for 3-4 weeks.
You may be able to return to work in a few days or a week, depending on your job and comfort level. Most patients resume most regular activities by the end of two weeks. For those of you who like to work out, Dr. Kelishadi will restrict you to not lifting anything over 10 pounds for 2 weeks, sometimes longer. After that, you may ease back into most of your typical workout activities, but Dr. Kelishadi may limit some exercises that activate your chest, mainly the pectoralis major muscle, for up to 4 weeks. What bras you can and cannot wear, the duration of such restrictions, and much more will be discussed during your consultation and surgical planning.
Advanced Breast Surgery
If you want additional soft tissue support and even less scarring, you may be a candidate for advanced breast surgery. This groundbreaking technique also allows for greater control of the pocket by Dr. Kelishadi during your surgery, which can ensure you receive the results you've always wanted. We use a DuraSorb® mesh, which is made from the same material as our sutures, allowing for quick absorption after three months. Ask about advanced breast surgery during your consultation to ensure you're getting the absolute most out of your procedure.

Breast Augmentation FAQs
How much does breast augmentation cost?
Your cost for breast augmentation surgery will vary based on your choices and whether you are having any other surgeries at the same time. As soon as your treatment plan is made in your consultation, Dr. Kelishadi will talk to you about estimated costs as well as financing. To ensure your results match your goals and last a long time, it's important to focus on quality over low costs.
What is the difference between breast augmentation and breast implants?
While breast augmentation is a category of procedures that can include fat transfer, breast reduction, breast lift, etc., breast implants are a specific type of procedure. A breast implant refers to the concept of having synthetic objects surgically inserted into the breasts in order to enhance their size and/or shape.
What age is best for breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation is ideal for women of virtually all ages, though the reason for the procedure will likely change with age. For instance, women in their 20s and 30s tend to want to increase the size and fullness of their breasts. On the other hand, women in their 40s and older often resort to breast augmentation in an effort to achieve breasts that appear more perky and lively.
Do I need a breast lift or augmentation?
Your treatment plan may include implants, a lift, or both. A breast lift removes loose skin and raises the breasts, while implants enhance the shape and size. During your consultation with Dr. Kelishadi, M.D. FACS, he will listen to your needs and goals before explaining your best treatment options. A combination augmentation and lift are often a part of a mommy makeover to rejuvenate the breasts after breastfeeding and pregnancy.
Can I breastfeed with implants?
If you want to breastfeed after breast augmentation, talk to Dr. Kelishadi, M.D. FACS during your consultation. It's usually possible to breastfeed after augmentation surgery, with the right surgical technique and placement. Pregnancy and breastfeeding can affect your results, which is why it is better to wait until after you are done having children to get breast surgery.
