Breast Enhancement in San Francisco - Dr. Roy Kim, plastic surgeon / cosmetic surgeon, focuses on plastic surgery and cosmetic surgery procedures including breast enhancement and other plastic surgery procedures. Please contact us today to learn more about breast implants.

Dr. Roy Kim uses the latest techniques in breast augmentation to help you achieve the look that you wish. He is an expert at listening to what you want, and he has years of experience to help you choose the correct implant for you. Many plastic surgeons do not offer the full gamut of sizes and shapes in breast implants, but Dr. Kim does. He not only offers different volume sizes, but also low profile/ thin, moderate profile/ medium, and high profile/ thick implants as well.

Although Dr. Kim is able to use several different surgical approaches to breast augmentation surgery, his most preferred methods are around the nipple areola area or the breast fold/ inframammary crease area. Dr. Roy Kim is also an investigator with several clinical studies regarding silicone gel or gummy bear implants.

Patients seeking breast enhancement in San Francisco may do so for a variety of reasons. A woman may desire larger breasts to enhance her body contour or if she feels her current breast size is too small. Breast enhancement may also be performed in order to make corrections after pregnancy or to balance the size of the breasts. Correcting these can also help to strengthen self-confidence, leading patients to seek their own breast enhancement in San Francisco.

Breast enhancement uses breast implants which are either filled with a saline solution or silicone gel. Saline implants are most commonly used, as the use of silicone implants has been restricted. This is because the rupture of a silicone implant may release the silicone material into the body's tissues, which is a significant health concern. If saline implants rupture, the saline solution is harmlessly reabsorbed into the body and the implant can be replaced. Please contact plastic surgeon Dr. Roy Kim to learn more about getting breast enhancement in San Francisco.

Breast enhancement is a very individualized procedure in which your goals should be realistically determined and discussed with your surgeon in San Francisco. Together you will determine what specific procedures will be performed. Once your goals have been determined you will set a date for this procedure in San Francisco and will be given instructions about how to prepare.

When the date for your breast enhancement has arrived, your surgeon may select from a variety of methods for inserting the implants. Implants can be inserted through several locations including the line where the breast and body meet, the areola (dark area surrounding the nipple), the armpit, and even the naval. The patient should discuss with the physician and determine which location is best to minimize the visibility of any scarring that may occur.

After the procedure, patients often experience soreness for a few days but are back into their normal lives within a day or two. Pain following the surgery can be minimized by medications prescribed by your doctor. All procedures are performed with anesthesia to minimize any discomfort or pain.
