What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that enhances the size, shape, and projection of the breasts.

While many women choose breast augmentation for aesthetic enhancement, others seek surgery for more complex reasons, including:

  • Revision of prior breast surgery due to dissatisfaction with size, shape, or implant type
  • Correction of complications from earlier procedures, such as capsular contracture or implant rupture
  • Restoration after trauma, illness, or cancer, including post-mastectomy breast reconstruction

In these cases, Dr. Alizadeh may use advanced techniques such as:

  • Implant exchange (including size or material upgrade)
  • Removal and replacement of damaged implants
  • Soft tissue reinforcement using acellular dermal matrices like AlloDerm, Atria, Strattice, or MesoBioMatrix
  • Fat transfer alone or in combination with implants to optimize shape and feel

Incredible doctor and team. From scheduling a consultation to receiving post-op care, the doctor and his team have been attentive, kind, knowledgeable, and welcoming. Dr. Alizadeh is a professional who enhances your features, and brings you more confidence and joy.

Developed by Dr. Alizadeh, ExoBoost™ enriches fat grafts with exosomes as a regenerative therapy. Doing so:

  • Improves fat survival
  • Reduces inflammation
  • Promotes vascularization

Here’s how it works:

  • Gentle liposuction harvests fat
  • Fat is purified and enriched with stem cell-derived exosomes
  • Fat is reinjected using microdroplet technique for optimal integration

What Sets His Technique Apart

Discerning patients appreciate his ability to approach every case with both scientific rigor and creative precision, paired with a repertoire of proprietary techniques which include:

  • Subfascial implant placement, a hybrid technique that blends the benefits of subglandular and submuscular positioning for a more natural look with less disruption to the chest wall
  • The NaturaBra™ internal support system, his signature lift that helps preserve implant shape and position over time, without visible scarring
  • Integration of autologous tissue and fat grafting enriched with regenerative exosomes (via his ExoBoost™ technique) to enhance cleavage, upper pole fullness, and long-term volume retention
  • A comprehensive, whole-breast approach, addressing related concerns such as nipple inversion, areolar enlargement, or asymmetry during the same procedure

How the Procedure Is Performed

Dr. Alizadeh performs breast augmentation using his signature NaturaPlane™ technique, a muscle-sparing approach that places the implant in the most natural anatomical position, without disrupting the chest muscles. This helps preserve strength and mobility while reducing post-operative pain. To enhance comfort and accelerate recovery, Dr. Alizadeh incorporates several advanced techniques, including:

  • “No-touch” technique: Minimizes the risk of implant contamination by avoiding direct contact during placement.
  • Long-acting intercostal nerve block: Provides targeted numbing of the chest area for up to 72 hours after surgery, significantly reducing discomfort.
  • Precision cautery: Limits tissue trauma and bruising by sealing blood vessels with pinpoint accuracy during the procedure.

Recovery and Results

Recovery after breast augmentation with Dr. Alizadeh is designed to be swift, comfortable, and closely monitored. Thanks to advanced, minimally traumatic techniques, most patients:

  • Return to normal daily activities within 24 hours
  • Resume light exercise within one week, with full activity gradually reintroduced
  • Experience only mild swelling or soreness, which typically resolves within days
  • Have dissolvable sutures placed in discreet, natural folds—no removal needed
  • Wear a supportive surgical bra to promote healing and implant stability

Results are visible immediately, though the final shape continues to settle and refine over several months. Dr. Alizadeh follows every patient for at least one year after surgery, offering ongoing care to ensure your results remain beautifully balanced and deeply satisfying.
