For most of our patients the incision is created at the lower half of the nipple along the areola border.The lighter skin of the breast meets the darker skin of the areola and allows the incision to be very well camouflaged.
We also offer the armpit or axillary approach to our patients who may have too small of an areola for the standard incision. Dr. Aiello uses endoscopic technology when inserting an implant through the armpit area.This approach is a nice alternative for many patients.
Can I go without a bra?
Going without a bra is a personal choice for the patient.Immediately following the surgery you will wear a support bra that we provide.After the first postoperative month we recommend that our patients find a variety of comfortable fitting bras and wear them for daily activities.When dressing up for the evening or dressing down for fun in the California sun occasionally you may want to go without a bra and that’s fine too.
Why do some women have a big gap between their breasts?I want more cleavage.
This is a result of 1 or 2 things.The sternum may be thick or raised at the junction of the ribs and sternum, creating a small obstacle beneath the implant not allowing the implant to come toward the center, or the rib cage or chest wall is round so the implants don’t sit closely together.
Dr. Aiello, creates a beautiful pocket into the midline along the center of the chest (the sternum) allowing for beautiful cleavage!!
How long do the implants last?When should I get them replaced?
The implants may last your lifetime.However, nothing on this planet is indestructible.A number of the implant manufacturers provide a lifetime replacement policy in the event of deflation.This is great news but rarely necessary.
What kind of implants do you use?What are the advantages and/or disadvantages?
Roughly 99% of our patients have the smooth round saline filled implants.These implants move with your breasts and with your body to provide a much more natural look and feel.
The textured, contoured, anatomical or teardrop shaped implant does not have the same mobility as the smooth implants and therefore doesn’t allow for the same natural quality of the breast.The aesthetics can be nice but breasts have a certain feel as well.
At Ocean Plastic Surgery our goal is for your results to look and feel natural.
What is capsular contracture?
When the breast becomes very firm and the implant cannot move
Does the textured implant help reduce capsular contracture?
The textured implant helps to reduce capsular contracture when comparing against the smooth implant over the muscle.However, the smooth implant under the muscle has the lowest occurance of capsular contracture.
Do I have to move the implants?
Because we understand the importance of a natural looking and feeling breast it is important to move the implants under the muscle.This also aids in reducing the occurrence of capsular contracture.Our patients are always so pleased at how natural the breasts look, feel and behave.
How do you determine size?
When you come for your free visit you and Dr. Aiello will have the opportunity to discuss what your needs and wants are.We also provide several photographs for your review; this is a tremendous help when determining implant and breast size.Finally, while you are sleeping during your procedure, you are sat up with actual implants in place to asscess correct size based on your wants.
Where is the surgery performed?
We have a fully accredited operating room on site at our Los Alamitos office.We perform about 30 surgeries a month in our operating room.
Will I be asleep during the surgery?
Yes you will be asleep during your surgery.Most breast surgeries are performed using general anesthesia.We use MD anesthesiologist in our operating room.
Are you board certified?
Yes.Dr. Aiello is Board Certified in Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.
Every person’s tolerance of pain, discomfort or fatigue varies.Most patients take about 1 week from work.However, some return to work sooner, others later depending on the type of employment and demands at the job.
When can I drive?
Most patients can drive on about the 4th day from surgery.However, if you are still taking narcotics or medication for pain, you should not be operating a vehicle.
Can I continue taking my birth control pills?
Absolutely.However, you may not have anything the morning of your surgery.You may take your contraception when you return to your home after surgery.
What medications should I avoid?
You should avoid aspirin and ibuprofen type products. Tylenol is fine.Even if you experience cramping during your menstrual cycle. . . we know you may lean toward Motrin, however, only Tylenol products.You will also need to avoid vitamin E and herbal remedies; such as St Johns Wort, ginko biloba, kava kava, etc.Because there is no regulation over these “natural” or “herbal” remedies, any problems with the remedies are not recognized until some misfortune.It is always better to be safe!
What medications or vitamins should I take to speed up my healing?
There is lots of discussion on what can be taken to expedite the healing process, however we do not recommend anything specific during your recovery period.There is minimal bruising postoperatively and the pain is defused with the medications that are provided for you by Ocean Plastic Surgery Center.If you have a vitamin regiment that works for you mention it to the doctor prior to surgery and chances are you will be free to continue taking the products you are already comfortable with.
Can I still breast feed if I have future children?
Absolutely! Again, the implants are behind the muscle so the milk ducts can still function. If you have already had children and breast fed successfully prior to having implants you should have no difficulties in breast-feeding with future pregnancies.

Dr. Aiello is looking for patients that may be filmed by the E! Channel for a new TV show. What we are looking for is someone who needs plastic or reconstructive surgery for something that may be a unique type of surgical case with an interesting story.
What we are not looking for is a person who feels they need a typical nose job, breast enlargement, tummy tuck, etcetera type of procedure. Nor are we looking for someone with an unfortunate personal history who feels a common plastic surgery procedure will improve their self esteem or life.
We will need a short explanation of your problem and health status with attached digital photos. Our office will evaluate these, and we may contact you of the final decision. As to whether or not you will be considered depends on your health status, surgical problem, personal history, and finally if the producers decide it is something they want to put on television.
Please do not call our office to just check the status. The producers will have made their decision by the end of July. For those of you who are interested in pursuing surgical correction or cosmetic surgery, you may call for a complimentary consultation with Dr. Aiello. We may contact you regardless of any selection process to see if we can assist you in achieving your goals of self improvement. Thank you for your interest.
