Breast Augmentation in Pasadena, CA
Dr. Nima is widely respected for helping women enjoy greater confidence through breast augmentation. If you would like a shapelier, fuller looking bust, Dr. Nima can use saline or silicone implants to enhance your breasts.
Breast Augmentation Candidacy
To qualify for breast augmentation, you should be at least 18 years old and in generally good health with no major medical concerns. You should not smoke, or be able to quit several weeks prior to your procedure.
Implant Choices

In addition to selecting the type and size of your implant, there are other factors to consider that are equally as important. The projection and placement of your implants play a significant role in the final outcome, and Dr. Nima will review the available options that best align with your goals.
Type
Ideal Saline implants are the first of their kind, and incorporate structured baffles within the implant allow for a softer, more natural feel than traditional saline implants. The unique structure of Ideal implants also means less visible rippling. Saline implants are filled after placement in the breast pocket, and therefore typically require a smaller incision under the breast or through the areola.
Silicone implants are filled with silicone gel and are generally less likely to ripple than saline-filled implants. The current generation of silicone implants are filled with cohesive gel that ranges in consistency from thick honey to a gummy bear texture.
Size
Implants come in a wide range of sizes. The size that is right for you depends on your body frame, the amount of natural breast tissue you have and the breast size you hope to achieve.
Shape
Implants are available in round and teardrop shapes. Round implants offer equal projection on the top and bottom. Teardrop implants have as lightly tapered shape, with greater projection on the bottom.
Breast Augmentation Procedure Details
Traditional breast augmentation is performed on an outpatient basis with anesthesia.
Dr. Nima will begin by creating incisions in the pre-determined location: around your areola, within your breast crease or near your armpit. (Rarely, he places saline implants through an incision around the navel.) Through the incisions, Dr. Nima will insert the implants above or below your chest muscle.
After Dr. Nima has properly positioned the implants, he will close the incisions with sutures and bandage your breasts. A compression garment may be placed around your chest, and you will be permitted to go home shortly after your procedure.
Breast Augmentation Recovery and Results

Plan for a few days of downtime, during which you must refrain from strenuous physical activity and heavy lifting. You will need to wear your compression garment for several weeks to help support your healing tissues. Dr. Nima and our team will provide complete instructions to care for your breasts and incisions, and we will meet with you for follow-up appointments to monitor your recovery progress. Dr. Nima will also clear you to resume work, exercise and socializing whenever appropriate.
You will notice an immediate improvement in your breast fullness and size after surgery. As your post-operative swelling resolves and your incisions heal, you can begin to enjoy your results. Dr. Nima will advise when you can switch back to normal bras with underwire.
Breast implants do not have an expiration date, and many women enjoy their implants for 10 years or more. You do not need to replace your breast implants unless you experience a rare complication or you decide you no longer like the look of your breasts.
Breast Augmentation Cost
The cost of breast implant surgery depends on the type of implants used and other individualized factors. For information about breast augmentation pricing, please contact our practice.
