As a trusted Sacramento plastic surgeon, Dr. Debra Johnson has performed a wide range of procedures for persons transitioning to their true female identity. The skill required is the same essential skill required for all plastic surgery, and the artistry of the final result is especially important. When it comes to breast augmentation, male-to-female patients want full, lifted and symmetrical breasts, with larger areoles and a natural nipple angle. For these patients, the process is similar to conventional breast augmentation surgeries. The implant will be surgically inserted under the skin, on or below the chest muscle, to add volume and create a beautiful new profile.
The silicone filler may be a cohesive gel or the newer, highly cohesive “gummy bear” variety that has a lithe, supple feel. Each filler is contained within a flexible silicone shell. These implants come in a variety of sizes and shapes, giving you many options to discuss with Dr. Johnson and visualize with practice bras, computer modeling and reviewing her many before-and-after pictures.
