Benefits of Asian Breast Augmentation

A well-done Asian breast augmentation:

  • Adds volume and curves to your silhouette
  • Evens out asymmetrical breasts
  • Helps you restore breast size after pregnancy or weight loss
  • Enhances your self-confidence
  • Gives you a fuller breast that looks great in any fashion

Recovery from Asian Breast Augmentation

Prior in advance of surgery and again after, Dr. Teitelbaum and his team will provide a detailed description of what you can expect during the next few days and weeks. You’ll also be given detailed post-procedural guidelines—please follow the guidelines accurately to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery process.

You can return home within an hour after surgery, but you’ll need to have someone drive you. You can then drive yourself in about two days and return to work in four. At first, your breasts may seem unnaturally firm, but the swelling and firmness will gradually recede over the next couple of days. You will not have any drains, there are no special bras or bandages.

Will there be scars?

While African-American patients have the biggest reputation for poor scarring, Asian patients may be at even greater risk. Fortunately, the chances of a bad scar are still small. Dr. Teitelbaum takes particular steps during Asian breast augmentation to try to reduce the chances of a poor quality scar. The incision is made and closed with the greatest care and the incision is hidden under the crease of the breast so that even a bad scar would be concealed.

During his discussions with Asian plastic surgeons, he has learned that the nipple incision is really not used in Asia because the scar has a tendency to darken, leaving patients with an enlarged and irregular areola, with what can seem like a “smiley face” along the bottom of the areola from the scar.

Some breast augmentation surgeons suggest the underneath the breast scar and others the armpit scar. But in warmer climates where women will wear clothing with exposed arms, the underneath incision is preferred. And in the last year articles have been published which show the armpit incision to have a higher rate of capsular contracture and improperly positioned implants, so that reason alone is making the underneath incision the prudent choice for women everywhere.
