Breast Augmentation
California Breast Implants Doctor Recommendations
Start by making sure whoever you choose is a board-certified plastic surgeon, ideally one who does breast augmentation regularly and can show you a substantial before-and-after portfolio of patients with a body type similar to yours. Credentials matter here because the training and maintenance-of-certification requirements for board-certified plastic surgeons include specific breast surgery volume and safety standards that non-certified providers aren't held to.
Beyond certification, ask about revision rates, implant type (smooth vs. textured, saline vs. silicone), and how the surgeon handles complications like capsular contracture or implant malposition, since these come up more often in revision cases than first-time augmentations. A good consultation should include a hands-on exam, a frank discussion of your anatomy, and time to answer your questions without feeling rushed.
Our office is in Dublin, in the East Bay, if you'd like to come in for a consultation. Otherwise, the American Society of Plastic Surgeons has a searchable directory of board-certified surgeons across California.
Clinical Context
Implant choice depends on your anatomy, goals, and the surgeon's experience placing that specific device. Most surgeons today use smooth-surface silicone or saline implants; textured implants are used far less often in the U.S. after being linked to a rare lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). All breast implants carry some chance of needing revision surgery over time, whether for capsular contracture, implant shifting, or personal preference. Ask your surgeon directly about their own complication and reoperation rates.
