Plastic Surgery Meets High Fashion: The Rodeo Drive Couture Breast Augmentation

    /24-7PressRelease/ - BEVERLY HILLS, CA, December 12, 2007 - A renowned Beverly Hills plastic surgery center has developed an approach to customize breast augmentation so the overall result both matches a woman's body and creates the best form for wearing fashionable clothing. The procedure is called the Rodeo Drive Couture Breast Augmentation.

Breast augmentation is more popular than ever, and is now the most common plastic surgery procedure nationally. Beverly Hills breast enhancement has the potential to greatly improve self-image and quality of life. Women who are self-conscious about small or overly asymmetric breasts usually find the procedure extremely gratifying. The same is true for women who lost breast volume following pregnancy.

Dr. Lloyd Krieger, Founder and Medical Director of Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery in Beverly Hills, notes that among plastic surgery procedures, breast augmentation can be especially challenging. "The three dimensional nature of breasts, combined with the need to change their position and shape in addition to size, makes all breast surgery a complex undertaking," says Dr. Krieger.

Women seek breast augmentation for a variety of reasons, but Dr. Krieger explains that in essence they want to enrich their self-esteem - and this goes beyond simply how they look. "We find that people coming for breast augmentation are seeking to improve not only their appearance but their overall lifestyle. They want to look better and feel better. They want to wear elegant clothes which might have intimidated them in the past because they lacked cleavage," says Dr. Krieger.

To meet his patients' goals, Dr. Krieger looked to his neighbors on Rodeo Drive. He worked with these boutique managers and style makers to better understand the breast and body shapes that best fit into fashionable clothing. He also worked with them to understand the various fashion styles for women of different ages and body proportions. "In each breast implant procedure, we not only address breast size, but also their shape and position. This way, the new breasts match the body to create a harmonious and flattering overall shape," explains Dr. Krieger.

To accomplish this, the Rodeo Drive Couture Breast Augmentation customizes breast augmentation in Los Angeles to an unusual degree. Based on a woman's goals, body type, and his knowledge of fashion, Dr. Krieger might recommend either saline or silicone implants of different sizes, shapes, and profiles. Rather than maintaining a fixed preference for placing implants either above or below the muscle, he customizes the approach to her specific needs. He also uses a variety of incision locations based on similar individualized considerations.

"Our goal is for Beverly Hills breast augmentation to create the size and shape that will allow women to look good, feel comfortable, and create the widest options for wearing all types of fashionable clothing," Dr. Krieger concludes. The Rodeo Drive Couture Breast Augmentation works to go beyond simply increasing the size of a woman's breasts. It is also often combined with the Center's Rodeo Drive Mommy Makeover.
