Composite Breast Augmentation in San Francisco
Composite Breast Augmentation is a method for breast enhancement where you transfer your own fat. During this procedure, a breast implant is placed to help increase the size of the breast. Liposuction is performed at the same time as any problem areas, most commonly taken from the abdomen, flanks, arms, and inner thighs.
The harvested fat is then transferred to the breast to further enhance the breast shape. Fat can be placed to provide more cleavage, improve breast asymmetry, or to blend in the upper part of the breast giving an even more natural result than implants alone.

K. England
Mid July I had a breast augmentation done by Dr. Sieber. I honestly can’t say enough on how quick,easy and painless the procedure was.
(I may or may not have been outside gardening the day after my procedure) may not have been the sternest thing to do but it really shows how painless it really was.
I asked for a very natural look. I went with 485 CCs. My scars is no bigger then maybe an inch.
So thin you can barely see them. I will no doubt recommend Dr. Sieber to anyone in need of any sort of plastic surgery.

Technique
Since composite breast augmentation is a combination of three separate procedures, it is more involved than traditional breast augmentation alone.
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia in a certified outpatient facility. Prior to surgery, you will have worked with Dr. Sieber using Vecta 3D imaging to decide on implant size and style that achieves your goals for surgery.
The procedure begins with Dr. Sieber making a pocket for the breast implant beneath the chest muscle. This helps to achieve a more natural result and also provides support for the implant over time.
Next liposuction is performed on whichever areas were discussed prior to surgery. For more information on the steps involved in liposuction visit (hyperlink to lipo page).
After processing the fat, it will be reinjected into the breast tissue to shape and enhance the breast tissue even more than an implant along. The extra fat also provides additional coverage of the implant giving a more natural look and feel to the breast.

Preparing for Composite Breast Augmentation
As with any major surgery, all medications and supplements which cause an increased risk of bleeding should be stopped 2 weeks prior to surgery. Please see our list of medications and supplements to avoid. As always, make sure to check with your doctor before stopping any medications.
Recovery
The recovery time after surgery is one of the most important factors in how you will feel about your experience. Your tissues should recover well and heal properly for best results, but even if they don’t there’s still a chance that this process can be maximized with patience and diligence on behalf-of yourself as much as possible during healing phase.
All patients are expected to wear their garment postop at least 6 weeks. This helps limit bruising swelling , discomfort while also preventing odor.
Swollen and sore breasts should subside after surgery. You will be given specific instructions on how to perform implant massages that you can start soon after the operation, which helps with feeling more comfortable in your new post-op life!
