Breast Implants Sacramento

Breast implants are a popular way to enhance the size and shape of your breasts. Filled with either saline or silicone, implants are surgically placed to add breast volume. With breast implant surgery, you can achieve the figure you envision, with enhanced breasts, plump, lovely, and natural-looking.

Do you want fuller breasts?

Many women make the decision to enhance breast size. Breast volume can diminish after having children, losing weight, or with the aging process. Some women have naturally smaller breasts and want a curvier figure. Breast implants in Sacramento can restore lost volume, enhance your natural size, or create symmetry in unevenly sized breasts. You may have had a mastectomy and want to restore your feminine curves, or you need breast implants as a gender-affirming surgery.

You may simply have an aesthetic preference for larger breasts. Whatever your reasons, breast implants can help you achieve:

Plump, round breasts ideal for your frame
Fuller, more shapely breasts
A boost in self-confidence

Your Implant Options

Today, patients can select from three innovative implant options: saline, silicone, and cohesive gel implants (often called “gummy bear” implants). Each type is designed with specific features to suit different preferences and needs.

Saline Implants

Composed of a silicone shell filled with a salt-water solution
Ideal for women 18 or older, as approved by the FDA
Offers the benefit of adjustable volume and a firmer feel

Silicone Implants

Filled with silicone gel for a more natural texture and realistic appearance
FDA-approved for women aged 22 and older

Cohesive Gel Implants (“Gummy Bear” Implants)

A cutting-edge option now FDA-approved in the United States after years of global success
Filled with a cohesive gel that maintains shape, even in the rare case of a rupture

Dr. Liu will work closely with you to determine which implant type aligns with your unique goals and preferences, ensuring you achieve the results you’ve always envisioned.

Saline vs. silicone implants

The two basic types of breast implants are saline and silicone. They each have their pros and cons, and we will help guide you to the right choice for your circumstances and preferences. Some of the differences between saline and silicone implants include:

Silicone implants are softer and typically feel more like a natural breast, whereas saline implants feel slightly firmer.
Saline implants look firmer and rounder, while silicone implants more closely resemble natural breast tissue.
Saline implants aren’t filled until after being placed, while silicone implants are pre-filled with silicone gel. This means that saline implants require smaller incisions, which means smaller scars.
Some patients prefer saline as if ruptured, the saline is absorbed by the body. However, implant rupture is not a common issue in modern silicone implants.

Which implants should I choose?

Before your surgery, we will speak with you about your aesthetic goals and preferences to ensure we choose the type, size, shape, and projection for your breast implants. Your satisfaction is of the highest importance to us, and we will take our time to ensure we get it just right.

How long does the surgery take?

Breast implant surgery is an outpatient procedure, which generally takes in the range of 60 to 90 minutes. You will be under general anesthesia, so you will be asleep and will not experience pain or discomfort. Once your surgery is completed, we will wrap your breasts in a special compression band, and you will rest for a period until you are released to return home to recover. You will need to bring a friend or family member with you to drive you home and help you for the first 24 hours. You will likely sleep the day away.

How much time will I have to take off from work?

It typically takes about six to eight weeks to fully recover from breast implant surgery. However, you should be able to return to desk work and light activities within just a few days. We will be taking care of you throughout every phase of your journey, from your initial consultation through to your full recovery. As board-certified plastic surgeons, our team is skilled and experienced in every aspect of cosmetic surgery.
