Breast Augmentation

When considering breast enhancement surgery ("augmentation mammaplasty"), it is important that individuals learn of their options in order to make an educated decision. Dr. Hollan will provide detailed breast augmentation information during the initial consultation. She will learn of the prospective patient's medical history, pre- and post-surgical care, and possible risks and side effects.

Breast augmentation surgery is performed by inserting either saline or silicone gel breast implants through one of various incision sites, including around the nipple, under the breast in the crease, or through the armpit. Breast implants can be placed either directly under the breast tissue or beneath the chest wall muscle. Depending on the person's individual needs and anatomy, Dr. Hollan will determine the best surgical treatment to meet the desired outcome.

In addition to breast surgery, Dr. Hollan also performs other body contouring procedures, including liposuction ("lipoplasty") and tummy tuck surgery ("abdominoplasty"). Oftentimes, La Jolla, San Diego, and Carlsbad breast augmentation patients who have experienced multiple pregnancies, massive weight loss, and/or the effects of aging may opt to combine these procedures; this is commonly termed a "Mommy Makeover."

To learn more about her personality and value of the doctor-patient relationship, candidates may read patient testimonials. Before and after breast augmentation photos can be requested during the initial consultation.

La Jolla breast augmentation surgeon Dr. Hollan has the skills and experience to perform a wide range of procedures to help patients reach their goals. She is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) and the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery (ASAPS). She also takes great pride in being the first female plastic surgeon to be board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS) in San Diego County.
