Are you happy with the size and shape of your breasts? Do you miss the way your breasts looked before having kids? Cosmetic breast surgery is a safe and effective way to give your breasts an appealing makeover that still looks natural.
Dr. AJ Khalil is a board-certified plastic surgeon based in Beverly Hills who specializes in breast procedures. He offers several procedures that can help women to attain a breast profile that helps them to feel more attractive and build confidence. His advanced techniques allow him to rejuvenate the breasts, improve the shape of the breasts, alter the volume of the breasts, or revise the surgical results of another plastic surgeon. Breast procedures include:
Breast Augmentation
Women who are displeased with the volume of their breasts — either because they are small genetically or no longer as full after pregnancy/weight loss — may enhance their breasts with implants. Implants, which come in saline or silicone, can improve the size and shape of the breasts to achieve the woman’s preferred feminine proportions.
Breast Lift
Breast sagging is common following pregnancy, weight loss, or menopause. Breast lift (mastopexy) is a cosmetic procedure that re-elevates the breasts so that they sit higher on the chest with a rounder shape. Dr. Khalil also corrects the nipples so that they poke outward for a youthful, perky appearance.
Breast Reduction
Oversized breasts can be physically uncomfortable for some women. Breast reduction is a procedure that removes some of the extra tissue, fat, and skin from around the breasts to create a more proportional size and diminish back and shoulder pain. Dr. Khalil simultaneously lifts the breasts for a natural, attractive presentation, with resized areolas that correspond with the new breast size.
Breast Revision
Most women choose to remove and replace their implants every 10 to 20 years. Fresh implants can address complications or help women avoid such complications, or simply achieve a new size/shape that is more in line with a woman’s new preferences. With breast revision, Dr. Khalil can safely swap out implants without losing any of the aesthetic benefits of breast augmentation.
Breast Implant Removal
Women who decide to remove their breast implants altogether are smart to choose a talented surgeon like Dr. Khalil for this procedure. Since women still want their breasts to look attractive even when not augmented, Dr. Khalil uses techniques that can ensure the breasts have nice shape and elevation.
Implant Alternative: Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
Fat transfer breast augmentation is a two-in-one procedure.It starts with liposuction to remove fat from areas such as the abdomen or thighs. The fat is purified, then Dr. Khalil expertly injects it into the breasts to create a fuller, softer look. This option provides a modest increase in size and also contours the donor area. Because the body absorbs some of the transferred fat, additional sessions may be needed to maintain results.
Male Breast Reduction (Gynecomastia Surgery)
Male breast reduction treats enlarged male breasts by removing excess glandular tissue, fat, and sometimes skin. Dr. Khalil uses excision, liposuction, or both techniques to create a flatter, more masculine chest. The procedure is usually performed on an outpatient basis, with results that are intended to be long-lasting.
Impact of Breast Surgery on Breastfeeding
Breast surgery may or may not affect the ability to breastfeed, depending on the type of procedure. Breast augmentation with implants usually has little effect, while lifts or reductions that involve moving the nipple can increase the risk of reduced milk production. Techniques that keep the nipple and milk ducts connected may help preserve breastfeeding ability. Working with a lactation consultant after surgery can also improve results.
Longevity of Breast Implants
Breast implants are durable, but don’t last a lifetime. The results typically last 10 to 20 years, although this varies based on implant type, surgical method, and changes in the body over time. Signs that an implant may need to be replaced include changes in shape, firmness, or position, as well as rippling or rupture. Regular check-ups and self-monitoring can help detect concerns early. Wearing proper support and following Dr. Khalil’s post-surgical care instructions may help extend the lifespan of your implants.
General Recovery Timelines and Post-Operative Care
After surgery, our team monitors you for several hours, and you can return home to recover in your comfortable environment after that. You’ll wear gauze bandages and a surgical bra home, and you’ll typically wear this garment for a minimum of two weeks. This helps reduce swelling and promotes optimal healing.
Dr. Khalil provides detailed instructions on incision care, pain management, and activity restrictions. Although the exact recovery time varies with the surgery and your unique situation, many women resume most regular activities in as little as a few weeks. Most women recover fully in four to six weeks.
