Plastic Surgery Practice Posts Info on Breast Augmentation in Los Angeles

MARINA DEL REY, CA, January 30, 2011 (Press-News.org) Dr. Grant Stevens and Dr. David Stoker of Marina Plastic Surgery Associates (www.theperfectbreast.com) recently added several new Web pages to their main website to help women considering breast augmentation in Los Angeles learn more about this popular procedure.

"Each year, I see hundreds of women who are thinking about breast augmentation, and I field a wide range of questions during each consultation," says Dr. Stevens, who performs other breast enhancement procedures including breast reduction and breast lift in Los Angeles as well. "We decided to batch together some of those most common questions about breast augmentation and post them on the website, so that our patients feel better prepared before they come in for a consultation. We also added more information about breast implant options because implant choice is such a critical decision for any woman who has breast enlargement surgery."

The new content on the Frequently Asked Questions page contains answers to general concerns regarding breast enhancement, such as what the procedure entails, expectations about surgical results, and available implant choices. Questions such as, "What will the recovery period be like?" and "Will the results look natural?" are addressed along with more detailed information about the effects of surgery, such as the ability to breastfeed after surgery and techniques to minimize breast scarring.

"We understand that our patients are busy people who often don't have a lot of time to spend researching procedures," notes Dr. Stoker. "The new information is just one more resource in our already extensive collection of educational tools on the Web, including procedure videos, real patient stories, and before and after photos."

On the new Breast Implant Options page, the difference between silicone gel and saline implants is discussed along with current safety information on different implant styles. More advice is offered on how to achieve a "natural look" through breast enlargement in Los Angeles with various implant sizes, as well the advantages and disadvantages of each implant type.

"Implants today are not the same as they were 20 years ago," Dr. Stevens says. "Unfortunately, a lot of misconceptions remain and we felt that our website needed to accurately reflect the advanced options women now have available to them. The goal is to provide thorough education so that each of our patients can find an implant that's just right for her cosmetic goals."
