What’s the No. 1 Procedure in America?

According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS), the most popular procedure in the U.S. is breast augmentation. My Los Angeles practice regularly receives inquiries from women eager to learn more about the procedure and how it might help them achieve the figures they desire.

Here’s the inside story:

• The ASPS reports that in 2011, more than 300,000 breast augmentation procedures were performed, up 4% from the previous year.
• For women with small breasts, going from a size 32A, for example, to a 34C can dramatically improve their appearance and self-esteem.
• Significant weight loss, pregnancy or breastfeeding can lead to sagging breasts that have a “deflated” look. By choosing breast enhancement surgery, women with these issues can restore their breasts, giving them a more youthful appearance.
• Where appropriate, I can combine breast augmentation with another procedure. For example, a popular combination is a breast lift with augmentation. This combined surgery can elevate the breasts while adding volume, resulting in beautifully shaped and well-positioned breasts. For women who have lost significant weight and have sagging tummy skin, a tummy tuck combined with breast augmentation can be the ideal way to achieve the smooth silhouettes they desire.
• The Huffington Post recently published an article about gummy bear breast implants, the “new wave of silicone breast augmentations.”
