About Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic procedure that is performed to enhance the shape and size of the breasts using silicone or saline implants. This procedure is one of the most common plastic surgeries performed in California and nationwide for a variety of reasons. Just some of the popular goals that breast augmentation can achieve include:
- Restored breast volume following pregnancy, breastfeeding or natural aging.
- Increased size of naturally small breasts.
- Improved symmetry and balance, or to accentuate the feminine silhouette.
- The ability to feel whole again following breast cancer surgery.
Whatever your reasons for considering breast augmentation, Dr. Kolder can provide you with the curves you want with a customized breast augmentation procedure. We offer consultations at our Camarillo and Studio City locations.
Your Breast Augmentation Consultation
With Dr. Kolder’s help, you can feel confident about making informed decisions about your breast enhancement. He will work with you to develop an individualized treatment plan based on your personal needs and natural anatomy. He will also help you understand all of your breast augmentation options, including:
- The difference between saline and silicone breast implants.
- The difference between subglandular and submuscular implant placement.
- The three main breast augmentation incision technique options.
Before your consultation with Dr. Kolder, it can be helpful to check out our breast augmentation photo gallery to see our patients’ before and after photos so you know what kind of results you can expect and what types of implant options you might want to discuss.
Your Breast Implant Options Explained
Breast Implant Type
Silicone and saline implants are the two breast implant types you’ll choose from. Silicone implants are far more popular than saline implants, though they each have their own benefits. Silicone breast implants are made of a silicone shell and filled with a silicone gel. They tend to look and feel more similar to natural breast tissue than saline implants.
Saline implants are also made of a silicone shell but are filled with a saline, or sterile saltwater, solution. Saline breast implants can sometimes create a visible rippling effect, particularly when there is little natural breast tissue covering them. However, the main advantage of saline implants is that they do not require an MRI in order to detect a rupture, while silicone implants do.
Breast Implant Placement Location
Breast implants can be placed either above or below your chest muscles, and there are unique advantages to both options. Subglandular placement means that the implants are placed above the chest muscle and just underneath the natural breast tissue. This option does not interfere with muscle tissue at all, making it a popular choice for athletic women.
Submuscular placement means that the implants are placed below the chest muscle. This option is popular among women with smaller amounts of natural breast tissue.
The goal of our breast augmentation surgery is to provide women with natural-looking feminine curves that bring out the woman they have always felt like on the inside.
Breast Augmentation Incision Technique
There are three main breast augmentation incision techniques to choose from:
- Inframammary incisions are placed along the natural crease below the breasts.
- Periareolar incisions are placed in a semi-circle along the lower half of the areola.
- Transaxillary incisions are placed within the underarm area, leaving no visible scarring on the breasts. However, this technique does not allow for the same precision as the inframammary or periareolar techniques.
The best incision placement for your customized breast enhancement will depend on a number of factors, including the type and size of implant you choose, your natural anatomy and your personal preferences.
Breast Implant Size and Profile
Dr. Kolder will help you choose the best implant size and profile for your body type and personal preferences. Breast implants are measured in cubic centimeters (cc) of volume and not by bra cup size. This is because cup sizes are not standard and can vary by brand and bra type. Implant profile refers to the amount that the implants project outward from your chest. A high-profile breast implant, for example, projects the most, while low-profile implants project the least.
Dr. Kolder utilizes Vectra 3D Imaging to help his patients visualize the size and profile of their implants on their bodies to help them customize their procedures.

Your Breast Augmentation Procedure
Your breast augmentation will be performed under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis at our surgery center. This surgery typically takes 1 to 2 hours to complete
and will be performed by making an incision in the location discussed during your consultation, then placing your chosen breast implants beneath the skin – either on top of the chest muscles (subglandular) or beneath them (submuscular).
After the implants are positioned and properly adjusted for symmetry, the incisions will be carefully closed with sutures, and surgical dressings will be applied to aid in healing.
Recovering from Breast Augmentation
While the entire breast augmentation recovery process takes several weeks, many of Dr. Kolder’s patients feel well enough to return to work within about a week. Plan to have someone take you home from your procedure, even if you use our car service, and stay with you for the first 24 hours after breast augmentation.
During the first 24 hours, you are encouraged to rest. However, you should not spend all your time in bed. You will need to get up and walk around for about five minutes every hour during the day to promote healthy circulation.
Dr. Kolder will ask that you make follow-up appointments at certain stages throughout your recovery to ensure everything is healing properly. During this time, he will also provide guidelines for gradually increasing physical activity over the course of several weeks. By around the six-week mark, you should be able to resume your normal exercise routine, once cleared by Dr. Kolder.
Your Breast Augmentation Results
Once your breast augmentation surgery is complete, you will notice an immediate change in the shape and size of your breasts. However, you will need to wear a special surgical bra or compression garment for
the first couple of weeks to help with the healing process.
There may be some bruising and swelling at first, but this will gradually improve as your body heals. You might also notice that your breast implants appear to be “riding high” on your chest at first. This is normal and should gradually soften over time. This “drop and fluff” process can take around three months to complete. Around this time, you should have a good idea of what your final results will look like, although it can take up to six months for those results to fully develop.
Your incision lines will fade and flatten over time, and they should be easily hidden beneath a bra or bikini top.
Our breast augmentation patients often experience a positive boost in their self-confidence. You will likely feel more comfortable in all of your favorite tops and excited to try on new styles that complement your new figure. The goal of our breast augmentation surgery is to provide women with natural-looking feminine curves that bring out the woman they have always felt like on the inside.
Breast Augmentation Alternatives
While there are no nonsurgical alternatives that can achieve results similar to getting breast implants, there are different breast enhancement
surgeries and techniques that can help you achieve your goals.
If you are also experiencing some sagging of the breasts, you may benefit from a breast lift in addition to a breast augmentation. This will help to avoid a flat or droopy appearance. Alternatively, some of Dr. Kolder’s patients choose to combine multiple procedures into a single surgery, commonly known as a mommy makeover. These procedures are entirely customizable but very often include breast implants with or without a lift and body contouring such as a tummy tuck with liposuction.
Breast Augmentation Risks and Safety
Current medical studies do not indicate an increased risk of breast disease or breast cancer in women who have
artificial implants for cosmetic or reconstructive reasons.
Patients having breast augmentation surgery should be advised that having breast implants may lead to additional future surgery and possible replacement, as the implants cannot be expected to last indefinitely. Although rare, complications associated with breast augmentation include infection, fluid accumulation, implant rupture and capsular contracture.
During your breast augmentation consultation, Dr. Kolder will discuss these potential complications with you in detail, as well as explain how they can be minimized or even prevented altogether. If you have any questions or concerns during your recovery, do not hesitate to contact us.
Breast Augmentation FAQs
The cost of breast augmentation in California can vary widely, depending on the location, surgeon’s expertise, implant type and other factors. Our Camarillo and Studio City locations offer financing options to help make your procedure as affordable as possible.
Breast implants can be very long-lasting, with some people never having to replace them. Generally speaking, expect your breast implants to last anywhere from 10 to 20 years, depending on a variety of factors.
