Breast augmentation surgery has become one of the most sought after cosmetic procedures available. This is due, in part, to the wonderful makeover programs being aired on television. These programs let all women know what is available to them if they are unhappy with the size or shape of their breasts.

Breast augmentation surgery is never recommended before a woman is fully developed, usually by age 18.

Dr. Miguel Delgado specializes in breast augmentation surgery throughout Oakland, Santa Rosa, and San Francisco, California. Dr. Delgado is a strong believer in helping women achieve their goals of having a more natural body contour through breast enlargement. "A woman's self-esteem is greatly improved when she feels good about the way she looks. Having breast augmentation surgery may be just what she needs to become active again - no longer embarrassed about being seen in a swim suit or form-fitting blouse," says Dr. Delgado.

After consulting with you and discussing your goals from breast augmentation surgery, Dr. Delgado will make his recommendation as to the best type of procedure to meet your needs, including the selection of the implants, which are available in various sizes, shapes and surface textures.

Following surgery, there will most likely be some moderate discomfort over the two-week recovery period. Once the bruising and tenderness are gone, you may return to normal activities.
