Breast Augmentation in San Jose & Palo Alto

Many women who are unhappy with the size or shape of their breasts choose breast augmentation in San Jose or Palo Alto to look and feel more feminine. This popular procedure is safer and produces better results than ever when performed by a skilled and knowledgeable surgeon. Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Daryl K. Hoffman will help you to safely and effectively improve the appearance of your breasts.

Women choose breast enlargement for many reasons. For instance, changes in breast shape and volume following pregnancy is a common reason for women to consider augmentation. Many women choose to compliment their post-pregnancy breast augmentation with other procedures such as a breast lift or liposuction. Dr. Hoffman offers a variety of body contouring procedures to enhance the results of your breast augmentation.

Breast Enlargement Choices

Considerations that you will need to evaluate and discuss with your surgeon before your breast enlargement in San Jose or Palo Alto include:

• Size of the implant
• Implant shape
• Type of implant (silicone or saline)
• Incision location
• Position of the implant (above or below the chest muscle)

With these decisions to be made, it's important that you choose a surgeon you can trust. Beyond his Stanford training and the beautiful results he has provided to his patients, Dr. Hoffman's warm and approachable manner will help you to speak honestly about your goals and to feel confident and prepared for surgery.

The Procedure

Breast enlargement may be performed under either sedation or general anesthesia. Dr. Hoffman will determine the most advantageous location for the incision: under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit. Through this incision, Dr. Hoffman will place the breast implant which may contain either silicone gel or saline (sterile salt water). During your consultation, Dr. Hoffman will discuss your implant options and together you will determine which implant type is right for you. Your implants will be placed either underneath or above the pectoral muscle.

Recovery and Results

You will see a difference in the size and shape of your breasts immediately after your breast enlargement surgery in San Jose or Palo Alto. As initial swelling fades over the course of a few weeks, your results will continue to refine. You will need to rest for the first 24 to 48 hours after your surgery and may experience some soreness. You should be able to resume normal activity after a few days, when directed by Dr. Hoffman.

Breast augmentation is a popular way for women to achieve larger, shapelier breasts. This surgery may also correct the appearance and placement of nipples and areolas. Many women gain enhanced self-confidence after their procedure and feel like they finally have the breasts that they have always wanted.
