Breast Augmentation in La Jolla California

Breast Augmentation in La Jolla is also known as breast enlargement or breast enhancement in La Jolla. Breast augmentation in La Jolla is among the most popular procedures in our practice. The numbers of augmentation surgery done annually has increased steadily in the past few years. According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, in 2003, more than 250,000 women had breast augmentation. Dr. Rechnic has been performing the surgery for over 20 years.

Breast augmentation and breast implants have been extensively studied and are regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. Silicone gel implants are still considered for "investigational" use for reconstruction, and other limited applications as of January 2005. We recommend that all patients read the FDA Breast Implant Consumer Handbook, available on line at: http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/breastimplants/indexbip.html
