Confidence Redefined Breast Augmentation in San Diego

Breasts are often an inherent part of a woman’s feelings of femininity—they can make her feel confident in her curvy shape or self-conscious if they seem too small. That’s why breast augmentation has remained one of the top three most popular cosmetic surgeries in the United States for over 20 years. Breast augmentation allows women to choose the size and shape of their breasts to help them feel more confident in their appearance. Dr. Munish Batra of Coastal Plastic Surgeons in San Diego understands that the decision to undergo breast augmentation is highly personal. That’s why he works with each patient to understand their desires and motivations behind seeking breast enhancement, creating a customized surgical plan to exceed their expectations for their results.

What Is Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure designed to enhance the shape and size of your breasts. Using either saline or silicone breast implants, breast augmentation can add volume and projection to your breasts, improving their overall appearance. Breast augmentation can give you shapelier, more attractive breasts and bring balance to your overall body contour.

What Can Breast Augmentation Achieve?

Increase Naturally Small Breasts

Women can increase their breast size with their choice of breast augmentation options, some of which include implant material, shape, incision placement, implant placement location, and size. By choosing to undergo breast augmentation, women with small breasts can expect to achieve the following:

  • Larger breasts
  • Improved shape
  • Better body proportions
  • A more feminine appearance
  • Natural-looking results

Restore Volume and Shape After Weight Loss and Pregnancy

Many women experience unwanted changes in their breasts after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss, including loss of volume, flattening, or sagging.

Breast augmentation can be performed alone or combined with a breast lift to achieve the following benefits:

  • Increased volume
  • Perkier breasts
  • Younger-looking silhouette

Correct Significant Breast Asymmetry

While it’s absolutely normal for a woman’s breasts to be slightly different in size, it can cause insecurity when this variation is visible. Breasts can also be naturally misshapen or “pendulous.” Breast implants are used to achieve these benefits:

  • A rounder, more naturally feminine shape
  • Symmetrical breasts
  • Improved confidence

Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries and has a high satisfaction rate, with most women thrilled with their breast implant results.

Choosing the Right Surgeon for Your Breast Augmentation

Once you’ve decided to undergo breast augmentation, the next step is to find an expert breast surgeon to help ensure a safe and successful procedure. When choosing your breast augmentation surgeon, it’s vital to look for someone who is board-certified in plastic surgery and has extensive experience in breast augmentation to help you achieve your desired results. This will help ensure safety during the procedure as well as beautiful results.

Additionally, choosing a surgeon who is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Society of Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS) is also a benefit. These organizations ensure their members adhere to the highest patient care and safety standards, giving you peace of mind that you’re in skilled, qualified hands for your breast augmentation surgery.

What Does Breast Augmentation Surgery Involve?

When you choose Coastal Plastic Surgeons for your breast augmentation in San Diego, rest assured that our board-certified plastic surgeons will make your safety and desired results their main priorities.

Your San Diego Breast Augmentation Consultation

Your breast augmentation journey starts with an in-depth consultation with Dr. Batra, who will listen carefully to your concerns and encourage you to ask any questions about the procedure. You’ll also undergo a physical examination and provide your medical history to ensure that you’re a good candidate for the procedure. After reviewing your medical history and evaluating your breast tissue and skin, he will determine if you are a good candidate for breast augmentation and make recommendations from the following options:

1. Saline or Silicone Breast Implants

  • Saline breast implants are made from a silicone shell filled with salt water to produce firm fullness that accentuates cleavage. The surface of saline implants is typically smooth but can also be textured. Saline implants allow for a shorter incision as they are filled after being placed in the breast pocket.
  • Silicone breast implants come prefilled with a cohesive silicone gel that maintains its shape and often offers a more natural-looking enhanced breast appearance. These implants are favored in breast augmentation for women over 22 because they look and feel more like natural breasts.

2. Incision Type

  • Periareolar incisions are made around the areolas to minimize breast scarring. They are ideal for women who want to reduce the size of large areolas or who are not seeking a substantial increase in breast size.
  • Inframammary incisions are made underneath the breast along the natural crease. This is the most common incision option as it can accommodate all breast implant sizes, heals nicely, and is easily hidden.
  • Transaxillary incisions are made in the armpit to avoid creating scars on the breasts. This technique is often referred to as “scarless breast augmentation.” However, this incision cannot accommodate large silicone implants and works best with saline implants, as they can be placed through the armpit and then filled to the desired size.

3. Placement Technique

  • Subglandular placement means the implant is placed under the glandular tissue of the breast but over the pectoral muscle. This placement may be appropriate for women who want a prominent breast projection and have sufficient natural breast tissue to cover the implants.
  • Submuscular placement means the implant is placed under the pectoral muscle. This placement is best for women with little natural breast tissue because the muscle can provide extra coverage and a more natural-looking appearance.

If you are cleared for breast augmentation and choose to schedule your procedure, you will receive an inclusive cost quote, and your payment or financing options will be explained.

Preparing For Your Breast Augmentation Procedure

Once you’ve scheduled your breast augmentation, Dr. Batra will let you know what you need to do to prepare for surgery. This may include avoiding certain medications, such as aspirin, ibuprofen, or blood-thinning medications and supplements for a specified period before the surgery. You will also need to stop smoking for at least two weeks before and two weeks after surgery to ensure a safe procedure and optimal healing.

Breast augmentation is an outpatient surgery performed using general anesthesia, so you’ll need a responsible adult present to drive you home after your procedure and stay with you for at least the first 24 hours. Because you’ll need to rest for the first week or two after breast augmentation and refrain from most activities, planning ahead is essential. Prepare a comfortable recovery spot with the following items:

  • Pillows to elevate your upper body for comfort and help minimize swelling
  • Electronics, including phones, tablets, chargers, and television remotes
  • Water and snacks

Fill any pain medication prescriptions before your surgery and stock up on incision care supplies. Because you can’t lift much for the first two weeks, plan for grocery delivery and pre-make meals or arrange for takeout. Following Dr. Batra’s post-operative instructions will help ensure a healthy recovery with little risk of complications.

I am in my 6 weeks recovery from breast reduction. I am very pleased with the results. Dr Batra as well as his staff were very comforting before and after the surgery. They scheduled me for the surgery in less than a month after my first visit and the procedure went by much easier than I expected.

I underwent a breast augmentation and lift procedure with Dr. Batra at Coastal Plastic Surgeon’s 10 weeks ago, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. From the initial consultation with staff to post-operative care, the entire experience was nothing short of wonderful. I was so nervous about having the procedure done but my old implants were encapsulated and needed to come out.

Not only did Dr. Batra deliver outstanding results that exceeded my expectations, but his bedside manner was truly exceptional. He took the time to listen to my concerns, answer all my questions, and ensure that I felt comfortable and informed throughout the entire process.

I highly recommend Dr. Batra to anyone considering a breast augmentation or lift. His skill, attention to detail, and compassionate approach set him apart as a top-tier plastic surgeon. Thank you, Dr. Batra, for your exceptional care and for helping me achieve the confidence I've always desired.

As a mother of two it was time for...."a little work." After considering multiple surgeons in deferent areas I had consultations with two. After my consultation it was clear....Dr. Batra was the most knowledgeable, professional and attentive to my concerns. He felt very trust worthy and not creepy at all. The procedure went great and recovery went well. Dr. Betra and his team especially Alexa were the best. Im so happy with my results! I would highly recommend Coastal Plastic Surgery to anyone. Don't put it off ladies it's sooo worth it.

I'm the type of person who doesn't typically write reviews or even have the time, but my recent experience with Coastal Plastic Surgeons is definitely worth my time! I am a mommy of three, with my youngest being 2 years of age. After each baby I'd bounce back to my original weight but as you know the beauty of having children can leave devastating damage to the appearance of our bodies. After three breastfed big babies I was left with an unrecognizable belly button, hanging excess tissue and droopy breasts I knew NO workout or diet could remedy! I made the best decision in having a full tummy tuck and breast implants done by Dr. Batra! I never thought I'd be able to wear a two piece ever again! I felt very confident with his knowledge and experience. Trust them when they express their opinions because they were absolutely right! I wanted to go very natural and at first I was afraid with the size preference of the implants chosen for me, but in the end the results were perfect so I'm happy I listened. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who is in doubt!

Is it weird that I'm excited to write this review?! I can't say enough great things about Dr. Batra and his staff! I decided to schedule a BA consultation with Dr Batra after seeing the amazing pictures on his website. Dr. Batra was super warm, honest, and professional from day one. He took time to really listen, offered an honest opinion, and made me feel so comfortable. It has only been 7 weeks since my surgery and I'm already beyond thrilled with my results. Dr. Batra is truly talented yet is so humble. Nicole was so encouraging and genuine through the whole process. Rachel was really sweet and informative. Kelsey is always so pleasant on the phone and makes scheduling a breeze. I was also really impressed by the surgery center. The nurses went above and beyond and seriously spoiled me. I never thought surgery could actually be enjoyable! I was anticipating the worst with the recovery process due to friends experiences, but was blown away by how little pain I experienced. I feel incredibly blessed that I was in such great care and picked such an awesome surgeon! I would do it all over again in a heartbeat and wouldn't change a thing! Thank you Dr. Batra and staff for taking such wonderful care of me and making me feel so special!

I had my first surgery (breast augmentation) in January with Dr. Batra. He is an amazing person besides doctor. He did a great job and has followed me constantly on my recovery. If you want someone safe and who will contact you or answer you immediately when you have a concern pick him! My last follow up I told him about my legs I’ve been going to the gym for over a decade almost two decades actually and have not been able to shape them. Dr. Batra doesn’t make me feel like anything is wrong with me. He makes me feel so comfortable and it’s so easy to tell him my concerns he told me it was such a common thing and that meant everything to me. He eases my concerns and most importantly makes me feel safe. I had consultants in the past that made me uncomfortable and never went past a consultation. Being a nurse I am a little picky with my health. His staff is amazing I wish I remembered everyone’s name but specifically Miriam is amazing! Not that anyone else is any less it’s just when you go she will be your contact person for almost everything. She answers my questions. She gets back to me immediately even off the clock. You are awesome thank you for answering me. Just today I sent her a message thinking she would get back to me tomorrow morning when she was back at work and she called me after her dinner!!! Thank you for easing my experience. You guys are amazing I can’t wait till next week my second surgery with you and definitely not my last!

I have never met a nicer Doctor/Surgeon. He is not your typical cold, no talk Doctor. He is a very nice and caring person who completely makes you feel comfortable. I had a wonderful surgery experience with Dr. Batra. I had to have a hysterectomy and an umbilical hernia repair/tummy tuck. This typically means two separate surgeries. Dr. Batra helped me tremendously because he did my hernia repair/tummy tuck at the same time as my O.B. did the hysterectomy. He is so easy going and kind. I did not have to do two surgeries because he was so workable with my situation and needs. The office ladies are a pleasure to talk to and are very personable. I had a great experience with Dr. Batra and the entire staff. I feel 100% better and my tummy is hernia free and beautiful again! I have recommended him to my friends and family because my experience was truly amazing. Thank You Dr. Batra!!

My surgery was a HUGE success. More important than how wonderful my surgery and surgeon was, I felt completely cared for and even pampered throughout my care leading up to surgery and after. Today was a huge day for me. For the first time in over 10 years I went to the beach confidently wearing a bikini. The only reason I was able to do this was because of Dr. Batra and his staff. And the excellent customer service and care just keeps going. I will never go to another surgeon if I ever need plastic surgery again. I am 5 weeks out of surgery, my true results are not even there yet, and I feel like a new person. Thank you just doesn’t seem to cover it. If you are considering plastic surgery go see Dr. Batra. I cannot say enough. And I still love you, Maryam!!

After multiple consultations with plastic surgeons in and out of the area, I decided on Dr. Batra. I had 2 breast surgeries from another p.s. both ending with capsular contracture and a lot of miscommunication, so finding a surgeon who is humble, confident, and attentive was very important to me. Dr. Batra has the hands of an angel and I hardly felt any pain after surgery, and what little pain I did feel Tylenol took care of. I am 10 weeks post op and my results are beautiful and I can finally be confident about my breasts thanks to Dr. Batra. I would definitely recommend him to anyone, especially those who are needing a revision.

*Update- I am 16 months post op and have healed beautifully! Just wanted to update this because I know how difficult it is finding a really good surgeon, and I’m just so happy and grateful everything turned out well thanks to Dr. Batra.

Dr. Batra is a true Artist. I’m six months out from my surgery. I couldn’t be happier with my outcome. My breasts are PERFECT and so is my liposuction. After having a baby and breast feeding, I was very self conscious about wearing a bikini or strapless dresses. After Dr. Batra did my surgery, I can wear anything I want. I love the implant size that Dr. Batra recommended for me. They look and feel very natural. Thank you Dr. Batra for giving me my body back.

I have been seeing Dr. Batra for several years. He originally repaired a botched breast reduction and lip enhancement messed up by a well known Del Mar plastic surgeon. Since that time, I have continued to see Dr. Batra for way less serious problems and overall “fun” improvements. He is the best botox and filler doctor out there. I rarely even bruise after the injections. I have been to other doctors in the past for this and experienced severe bruising.

I went to see Dr. Batra today and after I left his office, I felt compelled to let you all know again how great he and his staff are. I just love those guys and the great work that they do.

Some Common Concerns About Breast Augmentation

When Will I See My Final Breast Augmentation Results?

While some breast augmentation results will be visible immediately after surgery, your results will show over time as your body heals, and the final results will take shape about three months after surgery. Your breasts will appear fuller, firmer, and rounder, giving you a more youthful body shape and newfound confidence. Your new and improved breasts are still vulnerable to gravity and aging, so be sure to help maintain your results by wearing a supportive bra to delay sagging.

Will I Have Scars After My Breast Augmentation?

Incisions are required that leave some degree of scarring, but breast augmentation scars are typically well hidden and fade nicely over time. When performed using the transaxillary (armpit) incision, there are no visible scars on the breast.

How Painful Is Breast Augmentation?

Since breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia, you will not feel pain during the procedure. Post-operative discomfort is usually mild and easily managed with prescribed or over-the-counter medication.

What Is Recovery From Breast Augmentation Like?

During your breast augmentation recovery, you will need to rest for the first week or so, taking short, slow walks around your home several times a day to encourage circulation and stave off blood clots. Drink plenty of water and wear your compression bra, as it will help minimize swelling and support your new breast shape. Take prescribed or over-the-counter medicines as directed and use a cold compress to help ease any discomfort.

Bruising should begin to subside within the first week and be practically undetectable by the third week. You should be able to return to work and resume your daily routine within one to two weeks. You can usually return to light exercise three to four weeks after surgery, but you will need to avoid lifting or engaging in strenuous activities for up to six weeks or until your surgeon clears you.

FAQs Breast Augmentation

Should I lose weight before breast augmentation surgery?

Patients should be close to their ideal weight before breast augmentation, as losing a considerable amount of weight can contribute to breast sagging.

Do breast implants lift sagging breasts?

Breast implants are not designed to correct breast sagging. While mild sagging may improve slightly after implants are placed, it’s more likely that they will cause sagging to worsen. This is why combining a breast lift with augmentation is advised if your breasts are beginning to droop.

How do I choose my breast implant type, size, incision, and placement?

During your consultation, Dr. Batra will take detailed measurements and present customized options based on your body frame, amount of existing breast tissue, lifestyle, and desired results (including the choice between saline and silicone gel implants). You will have the opportunity to “try on” different types and sizes of breast implants to get a good idea of the expected outcome.

You and Dr. Batra will collaborate on the look, implant type, size, shape, texture, positioning, placement, and incision for your procedure. By working together, we can help you make educated decisions that will ultimately produce the results you desire.

Is it normal to feel breast implants after breast augmentation surgery?

Yes, it is normal for patients to feel their implants after breast augmentation surgery because they are foreign to their bodies. Many women will feel the breast implant more at the bottom of the breast because the tissue is thinner in this area. Patients should only be concerned when the implants are causing significant discomfort or beginning to harden. If this occurs, see your surgeon immediately.

How long do breast implants last?

You can expect your breast implants to last 10 years or more unless complications arise. However, unexpected occurrences are possible and can include capsular contractures and ruptures.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding will likely impact your results if you start a family. Because of this, we don’t recommend breast implants for women planning to have children shortly afterward.

Can I breastfeed with breast implants?

Breastfeeding with breast implants is possible, but it’s important that you discuss your plans with your surgeon before the procedure. Many surgeons recommend waiting to undergo breast augmentation until you’re done having children, as the changes to your body during pregnancy and breastfeeding can affect your results. Additionally, while breast implants won’t affect milk production, the surgery and incisions may impact the milk ducts and nipple sensation.

Choosing a surgeon who has extensive experience in breast augmentation can help you achieve your desired results and minimize any potential issues with breastfeeding in the future.

Are there risks and side effects associated with breast augmentation?

As with any surgical procedure, breast augmentation does carry some potential risks and side effects. However, ensuring that your surgeon is board-certified and skilled in breast augmentation can help reduce risks while maximizing your results. Common complications may include:

  • Bleeding
  • Infection
  • Poor wound healing
  • Scarring
  • Changes in breast or nipple sensation

Breast implants may also leak or rupture over time, requiring additional surgery. If you experience any concerning side effects during your breast augmentation recovery, contact our office immediately.
