Surgical Procedure Details

Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure performed under general anesthesia, typically lasting one to two hours. Dr. Judge offers the procedure at a San Francisco outpatient surgery center, with options to combine with complementary treatments like breast lifts or liposuction.

Surgical Approach

Multiple incision locations are available, including inframammary (under breast), periareolar (around areola), and transaxillary (armpit). Implant placement can be subpectoral (under muscle) or subglandular (over muscle), determined during personalized consultation.

Recovery and Aftercare

Patients can expect initial postoperative discomfort managed with oral pain medication. Limited movement is recommended during initial healing, with most patients returning to work within one week. A support person is advised for the first 24 hours post-surgery.
