Breast Augmentation in Poway, CA
Breast augmentation surgery is ideal for women who are dissatisfied with their small breast size. This procedure uses implants to enhance breast volume while also improving breast shape and symmetry. Breast augmentation surgery is among the most common cosmetic surgeries performed today and can enhance breasts to better match the patient’s desires.
Who Can Benefit From Breast Augmentation?
GeneticallySmall Breasts
Women who do not naturally develop breasts as large as they want may benefit from breast augmentation surgery. Breast implants can change the size and shape of the breasts to increase the patient’s self-confidence and positive body image. Breast augmentation can create a new, natural-looking figure for the patient to enjoy.
Loss ofBreast Volume & Firmness
Breasts naturally lose volume over time due to age and life experiences such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, and weight changes. This not only makes breasts shrink but can also cause them to be less perky and firm. Breast augmentation surgery can reverse these trends and restore your breasts to the full and perky shape you desire.
BreastAsymmetry & Shape Concerns
One breast may develop differently than the other naturally or change shape over time. This can result in breasts that are mismatched, flat, pendulous, or irregularly shaped. This state can be a cause for embarrassment among some women. Breast augmentation can be used to adjust your breast size and shape so that they match each other and your desired vision.

Easing Your Breast Augmentation Concerns
Recovery
The breast augmentation recovery of each patient differs to some degree based on the type of implant and incision they have. During the consultation, your board-certified surgeon will provide you with a recovery plan that will outline the steps and timeline based on their assessment. This plan will be modified as needed after your surgery.Immediately after the operation, you will be provided a compression bra that you will need to wear for the duration of your recovery. Most patients are able to resume work and light activities within two weeks. Strenuous activities, especially ones that place stress on the upper body, should be avoided for six weeks or until Dr. Jindal clears you.
Pain
The surgery is performed under general anesthesia, so you should feel no pain during the operation. After the procedure, you may experience mild to moderate pain and swelling around your incision sites. Over-the-counter or prescription pain medication may be provided on an as-needed basis. Most symptoms should fade within a week or two.Scars
Scars will form at the incision sites, as with any surgical procedure. The extent of scarring is mostly dependent on the patient’s healing capabilities, which are difficult to predict. These scars will heal faster if not exposed to sunlight, tension, or excess movement during the healing process. Scars will fade over time.Cost
Multiple factors can change the price of your personalized breast augmentation surgery. Facility fees, anesthesia fees, implant type, surgical fees, and more can change the cost of your breast augmentation depending on your choices.
