BREAST AUGMENTATION
Beverly Hills & Los Angeles

Breast augmentation surgery is one of the most popular and most desired plastic surgery procedures performed in the United States, as thousands upon thousands of women undergo breast surgery in hopes of attaining the perfect chest size and shape that they’ve always dreamed of. If you are disenchanted with the size of your breasts, the most effective solution is breast augmentation in Beverly Hills and Los Angeles with Dr. Ghavami.

Dr. Ghavami’s Approach to Breast Augmentation

Dr. Ghavami’s specific approach to breast augmentation and the remarkable rapid recovery patients enjoy has been featured on “The Doctors,” “The Ricki Lake Show,” “Extra,” NBC, and Telemundo, just to name a few!!

Dr. Ghavami’s extensive experience performing all facets of breast surgery has demonstrated his dedication as a breast augmentation surgeon. An aspect of Dr. Ghavami’s professionalism that he takes great pride in is an unyielding commitment to performing cosmetic plastic surgery procedures that look natural and organic, and comprehensively complement a patient’s innate features. With breast augmentation, this entails NOT selecting an implant that is too big for the patient’s breast dimensions. Choosing an implant that is too big can have short-term and long-term consequences that are detrimental to the quality of the skin, as well as the rib and skeletal structures. In addition, re-operation and revisions may become more necessary and frequent.

Dr. Ghavami has special training in a technique that minimizes bleeding and trauma to the body and decreases recovery time (to less than 24 hours in most cases); he calls it “Flash Recovery Breast Augmentation®.” Similar approaches are known as “rapid recovery” or “quick recovery breast augmentation.” However, more important than the name is that Dr. Ghavami is not simply using this as a marketing or advertising gimmick; he truly delivers excellent results to individuals who are interested in bigger breasts and a shorter recovery time.

At Ghavami Plastic Surgery we want to help each Beverly Hills patient see how breast augmentation might work for them. Digital simulation with Crisalix 3D technology allows Dr. Ghavami to show each patient what the results of breast augmentation might look like before committing to the surgery. This technology allows the patient to feel more comfortable and reassured that their desired outcome will be achieved.

Many breast implants patients who undergo breast augmentation in Beverly Hills with Dr. Ghavami are able to resume their routine activities only one day (24 hours) after their operation. Many of our patients describe going out to dinner the same night they have breast augmentation, and many choose to return to work within a few days.

Dr. Ashkan Ghavami’s breast augmentation method — known as Flash Recovery Breast Augmentation^® — aims to offer patients a speedier operation, a shorter recovery period and substantially less post-operative pain or discomfort. Traditional breast augmentation procedures can require recovery periods that may not fit into a patient’s busy lifestyle; and the pain, while manageable, can keep a patient in discomfort for longer than acceptable. Approaches to breast augmentation can involve a significant amount of jerking and prying (“blunt dissection”) with both instruments and fingers, as the surgeon forms enough space for the implant to fit under the muscle or breast tissue. That kind of blunt method is effective, but it can also cause a considerable amount of trauma to the surrounding muscle and tissue.

Dr. Ghavami’s Flash Recovery Breast Augmentation^®, or quick recovery breast augmentation method, employs ONLY a cautery (heat) dissection that offers the surgeon the ability to control bleeding before it occurs (known as “prospective hemostasis”), allowing Dr. Ghavami to cut through the sub-muscular tissue and form a pocket without causing as much damage to the ribcage and other surrounding tissue. This type of approach to breast augmentation can takes less than 45 minutes to perform, and the patient is typically able to resume most daily activities within 24 hours.

Advancements in technology and extensive research into new methodologies have brought the field of plastic surgery very far in a very short period of time. Dr. Ghavami studied under Dr. John Tebbetts, whose own research paved the way for the improved Beverly Hills breast augmentation that Dr. Ghavami currently offers his patients. To learn more about rapid recovery breast augmentation, contact the office of Dr. Ghavami with any questions or concerns that you might have. Schedule a consultation today.

As a leading breast surgeon, Dr. Ghavami also offers other breast procedures, including breast reduction and breast lift in Beverly Hills.

What is breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to enhance the size, shape, or fullness of the breasts using implants or fat transfer. This procedure is popular among individuals seeking a more proportional or fuller chest, often to improve body image or restore volume lost after pregnancy or weight loss.

What are the options for breast implants?

At Ghavami Plastic Surgery, we offer various implant types, including saline, silicone, and cohesive silicone gel (also known as “gummy bear” implants). Each option has unique advantages. Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater and are slightly firmer, whereas silicone and cohesive silicone gel implants have a more natural feel. The choice of implant depends on individual preferences and aesthetic goals, which Dr. Ghavami can discuss with you during your consultation.

How long is the recovery period?

Typically, most patients take about one week off work for initial healing. However, full recovery can take several weeks. During the first week, you may experience swelling, soreness, and some discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed medications. Dr. Ghavami will provide a personalized recovery plan, including guidelines on resuming exercise and other daily activities, to ensure optimal healing.

Are there any risks associated with breast augmentation?

As with any surgery, breast augmentation carries potential risks, including infection, changes in breast sensation, implant rupture, or capsular contracture (scar tissue formation around the implant). However, choosing an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon, like Dr. Ghavami, can significantly reduce these risks. During your consultation, Dr. Ghavami will go over potential risks and steps taken to minimize them.

How long do breast implants last?

Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices. On average, they can last between 10 to 15 years, although some patients may need replacements sooner, while others retain their implants for much longer without issues. Routine check-ups can help monitor implant health, and Dr. Ghavami will provide guidance on when you might consider a replacement.

Will breast implants affect my ability to breastfeed?

Most individuals can breastfeed after breast augmentation, but outcomes can vary. Placement of the implant and the type of incision used during surgery can impact milk production. Dr. Ghavami takes special care in planning surgeries for those who may want to breastfeed in the future, prioritizing techniques that help preserve lactation ability.

Can breast implants interfere with mammograms?

Breast implants can slightly alter mammogram imaging. Specialized techniques are used to obtain the most accurate mammogram results. It’s also recommended to schedule mammograms with an expert who is experienced in working with patients with breast implants.
