Breast Surgery Beverly Hills
Breast surgery is one of the most artistic aspects of plastic surgery and plays a critical part in a woman's body perception and self esteem. Like many aspects of “good” Plastic Surgery, the goal is more about creating beautiful curves and "shape," not just size. This may involve lifting, reducing, augmenting or a special combination of these techniques. Dr. Ghavami takes pride in minimizing the incisions and therefore, limiting scarring whenever possible. You may qualify for these “short scar” techniques.
A word about Breast Augmentation. Dr. Ghavami has learned techniques that limit bleeding and infection, and may, therefore reduce post-operative pain as well as limit capsular thickening and contracture (“breast hardening”). The less trauma there is to the breast tissue, the better the recovery. The type and size of implant you choose is also very important and patient education is vital to being happy with your new breasts. It is important not to augment too much, because an implant that is too large for your breast and chest will cause more damage to your breast tissue over time. You will receive literature during your consultation to help you in the decision making process. Dr. Ghavami will also use special breast measurement techniques that help determine what size is best for your body frame.
It is now possible with these advanced techniques for Dr. Ghavami to have certain patients back to your life and work in less than 24 hours! Most patients are able to return to work the following day or even go to a movie the night of their breast augmentation.
Additional Breast Procedures include:
- Breast Reconstruction
- Implant Reconstruction
- Tissue Expansion and Implants
- Microsurgical Breast Reconstruction - Free Tissue Reconstruction (TRAM, DIEP, Muscle Sparing, SIEA)
- Nipple Areola Reduction
- Nipple Reduction
The extent of breast surgery procedures that are commonly performed is unknown to a good amount of the public. Procedures include the common augmentation and reduction, along with reconstruction for breast cancer patients, nipple reconstruction, breast lifts to fix ptosis (sagging of the breasts), as well as nipple reduction. Since breast surgery is one of the most popular forms of plastic surgery, a definite correlation can be made between a person’s perception of their breasts and their self esteem/confidence. That’s why Dr. Ghavami makes sure to take into consideration his patient’s individual case (measurements, skin and breast tissue quality, and overall body proportions) and perform the procedure in a way that ensures mutual satisfaction with the breast shaping procedure that has been chosen. Beverly Hills has become the country’s destination for plastic surgery, and it is only fitting that Dr. Ghavami has become such a lauded surgeon in the area. The key is being realistic about his patients’ desired outcome and making it clear to them. Dr. Ghavami does what is in the best interest of the patient for long term results. He discourages placement of oversized implants that can damage and thin out the breast tissue overtime necessitating more future surgery and revisions. This is an aspect of Dr. Ghavami’s practice that sets him apart from many other surgeons who may choose to substitute larger implants for more precise breast shaping techniques.
Dr. Ghavami also realizes the importance of minimizing scarring and a hastened recovery process, which he achieves through making smaller incisions and avoiding trauma to original breast tissue. The gentler the approach, the less bleeding, less chance of infection, and as a result, less risk of breast capsule hardening. Many of our patients are able to under go a quick recovery process with the ability to go out to dinner the night of their surgery. For breast surgery in Beverly Hills, Dr. Ghavami is a leading supplier of success story after success story.
Though there are many surgeons that perform breast surgery in Beverly Hills, Dr. Ghavami strives to stand out as due to his unique aesthetic expertise and experience in the field, in addition to his emphasis on rapid recovery.

Besides being knowledgeable and skilled in performing nipple reconstruction, breast reconstruction, breast lifts and breast reductions, Dr. Ghavami is also a renowned expert in performing breast augmentation in Beverly Hills. Breast augmentation in Beverly Hills is one of the most common and popular forms of plastic surgery, the other being rhinoplasty. The reason that breast augmentation in Beverly Hills is so prominent is that in a substantial amount of cases, significant damage to self image is done by what the patient perceives to be inadequate breasts. Many patients from all over California and beyond travel to Beverly Hills to have plastic surgery, particularly breast augmentation and rhinoplasty. Dr. Ghavami takes each patient’s unique body shape and size and performs breast surgery in a way that looks natural, organic and aesthetically pleasing.

Breast Lift Beverly Hills

Breast lifting is performed under general anesthesia, and lasts from one and a half to four hours. Dr. Ghavami makes every attempt to reduce the locations and size of the incisions to limit unnecessary scar formation. Depending on specific breast characteristics, a patient may qualify for "short scar" techniques. This will be determined after measurements are taken during the consultation. Dr. Ghavami performs periareolar (donut shaped), vertical scar (lollipop), and full scar (anchor shaped) mastopexy depending on your breast shape and tissue quality. Patients that require special mention are those that have lost massive amounts of weight after lap band or gastric bypass surgery. There are numerous techniques that are designed specifically for breast that undergo the significant deflation that occurs with weight loss. Many require "auto-augmentation" or techniques that swing in your own fatty tissue from adjacent areas to fill and lift the breast.

Sagging or un-firm breast tissue often results from the natural effects of gravity, loss of elasticity through aging or genetic disposition, and weight loss after pregnancy or gastric surgery. The breasts deflate especially in the upper segment. A breast lift procedure, also known as mastopexy, restores a youthful, firm appearance in affected breasts by removing skin, decreasing the size of the areola and reshaping the existing breast tissue. By re-arranging the existing breast tissue, Dr. Ghavami can restore your breasts to a fuller and firmer look. Many women undergo breast lifts in Beverly Hills with Dr. Ashkan Ghavami, a surgeon who has built a respectable reputation based on the breadth of his successful plastic surgery procedures. Dr. Ghavami always strives to limit scarring and performs minimal scar breast lifts. The incision types vary for breast lifts and often depends on how much excess skin and breast tissue needs to be lifted. You may be a candidate for a “donut” (Benelli-type), “lollipop” (vertical), or “anchor shaped” (WISE pattern) breast lift incision technique.
Special attention is given to each patient who undergoes a breast lift in Beverly Hills with Dr. Ghavami. Depending on the nature of the breast and extent of sagging, Dr. Ghavami will employ different techniques that best suit each case. Periareolar (donut shaped), vertical scar (lollipop), and full scar (anchor shaped) breast lift methods are used, and all involve a different incision size and location. For qualified patients, the periareolar technique is utilized, and scarring is minimized since incisions are limited to the edges of the areola. Vertical type incisions are very appealing for women because the vertical incision most often blends with your natural skin tone so it is not very apparent in the future. It is important not to focus on the incision types as much, because improving breast shape is the primary goal. Dr. Ghavami will use all the techniques available to limit your scars and every patient goes through a three month scar management program designed by Dr. Ghavami just for you!
Dr. Ghavami’s extensive experience and tasteful aesthetic approach to plastic surgery and breast lifts in Beverly Hills consistently leads to successful results with minimal scarring. Please view our photo gallery and pay extra attention to the beautiful yet natural breast shape that is created as well as the quality of the scars.
Breast Reduction Beverly Hills
Large breasts may cause physical and mental discomfort and can even harm the women who have them -- the size and weight of large breasts can result in self-consciousness, improper posture, pain in the back and neck, indentations from bra straps, skin rashes, breathing problems and skeletal deformities. Breast reduction surgery is usually done to provide physical relief from these symptoms, not for cosmetic reasons. Performed under general anesthesia, the two-to four-hour procedure removes fat and glandular tissue and trims resultant excess skin to produce smaller, lighter breasts that are in a healthier proportion to the rest of the body. Advanced techniques are available to create a beautiful breast shape. It is important to have an artistic sense in breast shaping because rather than simply removing excess breast weight, it is critical to sculpt and shape what is left behind.

Male Breast Reduction Beverly Hills
Although rarely discussed, enlarged male breasts is a common condition. Gynecomastia affects approximately 40 to 60 percent of men. There is often no known cause for gynecomastia, although there has been some correlation with various drugs or medical conditions.
Men who feel self-conscious about their appearance are helped with breast-reduction surgery with either liposuction, surgical removal of excess breast tissue and skin, or a combination of the two techniques. These procedures removes fat and/or glandular tissue from the breasts, and in certain cases removes excess skin, resulting in a contoured chest that is flatter and firmer. Men who have lost massive amounts of weight may need formal breast reduction surgery and chest sculpting.
Breast Reconstruction Beverly Hills
Modern surgical technology makes it possible to construct a natural-looking breast after mastectomy (breast removal) for cancer or other diseases. The procedure is commonly begun and sometimes completed immediately following mastectomy, so that the patient wakes with a new breast mound. Alternatively, reconstruction may begin years after mastectomy depending on timing of radiation and/or chemotherapy regimens.
There are several ways to reconstruct the breast, both with and without implants; Dr. Ghavami will work closely with you in deciding which is the best for you. Breast reconstruction does not affect the recurrence of cancer, does not cause any other diseases, and does not affect chemotherapy or radiation treatment, when done properly. Dr. Ghavami has completed specialized microsurgical training and is experienced in microsurgical breast reconstruction techniques which gives patients an option to use their own body's tissue to shape and form a natural breast.
Nipple reconstruction can provide a boost in self-confidence to patients who have inverted or stretched nipples or who lack one or both nipples due to mastectomy (surgical removal of the breast), injury or a congenital defect. It is often the final step in breast reconstruction surgery, where the nipple is created after the breast mound has settled into place so that the new nipple matches the appearance and position of the natural one as closely as possible. Nipple reconstruction may be performed using one of several techniques, including tissue and cartilage flaps, skin grafts, local rearrangement of the skin on the reconstructed breast, and tattooing.
