Yesterday I was on NBC Bay Area, KNTV, Living Well with host Peggy Pico. We discussed the Mommy Makeover San Francisco, focussing on breast augmentation, tummy tuck, mini tummy tuck and liposuction. I will be posting several excerpts of the show on the San Francisco Plastic Surgery Blog. This video discusses breast enhancement and the future postings will discuss the belly enhancement, tummy tucks and liposuction. The full episode is also available on line. To view the entire segment, just click on the NBC Bay Area logo above.

Breast augmentation is one component of the Mommy Makeover. It has become the most frequently performed cosmetic plastic surgery procedure in the United States with 400,000 breast enlargement surgeries performed last year. That’s 800,000 breast implants.

This segment discusses the types of breast implants available: saline breast implants, silicone breast implants and even the soon to be available gummy bear solid gel implants. Comparisons area made between smooth round breast implants and textured shaped breast implants. The importance of body proportions is stressed, and before and after pictures are reviewed.

I will add additional video from the show about tummy tucks, mini tummy tucks and liposuction in the near future so stay tuned. If you would like more information on Breast Augmentation San Francisco, click here to visit the Breast Augmentation page on DrMele.com.
