Breast Surgery Procedures
Choosing breast surgery is a deeply personal decision, one that deserves thoughtful guidance, artistry, and care. At VedaNu Wellness in San Diego, board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. James Chao takes a collaborative, unhurried approach, working closely with you to create results that feel natural, balanced, and uniquely yours.
Our plastic surgery clinic in San Diego offers a full spectrum of cosmetic breast surgery procedures, from augmentation and lifts to reconstruction and specialized techniques.
Our Breast Procedures
VedaNu Wellness offers a complete menu of cosmetic breast surgery options for both women and men. Below you will find detailed information about each procedure we perform at our clinic in San Diego.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation uses silicone or saline implants to increase breast size, improve proportion, and address asymmetry. Implant selection is guided by your anatomy, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals to achieve a refined, natural outcome.
Breast Lift
Breast lift surgery removes excess skin and reshapes the breast tissue to restore firmness and raise the breasts to a more youthful position. The nipple and areola are repositioned to complement the newly contoured shape. A lift may be combined with augmentation to achieve both lift and volume in a single procedure.
Breast Reconstruction
Breast reconstruction restores breast shape following mastectomy or traumatic injury using implant-based or tissue-based techniques. Procedures may be performed immediately or delayed, with thoughtful coordination alongside oncology care when appropriate.
Breast Reduction
Breast reduction removes excess breast tissue, fat, and skin to create a smaller, lighter breast size. The remaining tissue is reshaped, and the nipple is repositioned for improved contour. This procedure relieves chronic neck and back pain, shoulder grooving, and skin irritation while restoring physical comfort.
Breast Revision Surgery
Breast revision surgery corrects or refines results from prior breast procedures. Concerns such as implant malposition, capsular contracture, asymmetry, visible rippling, or size dissatisfaction are addressed. Each revision requires detailed evaluation of your surgical history and current anatomy to determine the safest, most effective correction.
Congenital Symmastia Treatment
Congenital symmastia treatment corrects a rare condition in which breast tissue extends across the midline of the chest. The tissue is carefully separated, and the natural space between the breasts is reconstructed to restore defined contours.
Extra-Large Breast Implants
Extra-large breast implants are available for San Diego patients seeking a more dramatic size increase. Careful planning is essential, with implant selection based on chest width, tissue thickness, and skin elasticity to ensure safe, well-supported results.
Gynecomastia Surgery
Gynecomastia surgery removes excess male breast tissue and fat to create a flatter, firmer chest contour. The procedure typically combines liposuction with direct excision, using small incisions that heal with minimal visible scarring.
Nipple and Areola Reduction
Nipple and areola reduction reshapes and resizes the nipple, areola, or both to improve overall breast proportion. The procedure may be performed on its own or in combination with other cosmetic breast surgery and typically requires minimal downtime.
Pectoral Implants
Pectoral implants use solid silicone implants placed beneath the chest muscles to create a more defined, athletic contour. Incisions are discreetly hidden within the underarm area to minimize visible scarring. Surgery typically takes one to two hours, with most San Diego patients returning to desk work in about a week.
The VedaNu Wellness Experience
At VedaNu Wellness in San Diego, breast surgery is a carefully guided experience. From your first conversation through recovery, every step is approached with intention, discretion, and respect for the deeply personal nature of your decision.
Consultation
Your breast surgery experience begins with a thoughtful, unhurried consultation at our clinic in San Diego. This time is dedicated to understanding your goals, addressing your concerns, and exploring how you want to feel in your body. Your anatomy is carefully evaluated, and a surgical plan is developed around your specific measurements, tissue characteristics, and preferences.
Here is what to expect:
- A detailed conversation about your aesthetic goals and expectations
- A physical evaluation of tissue quality, symmetry, and overall anatomy
- A clear review of procedure options with an honest discussion of achievable results
- An explanation of surgical techniques, incision placement, and implant options when applicable
- A discussion of recovery expectations and activity guidelines
- Transparent review of all associated costs
Surgery
On the day of surgery, precise techniques refined over decades of experience guide every step. For breast augmentation, surgical sizers confirm balanced proportions before final implant placement. Layered suturing supports healing and minimizes visible scarring.
Recovery
Recovery follows a gradual, predictable progression, with our San Diego team providing guidance throughout.
Typical recovery milestones:
- Weeks 1 to 2: Rest at home with light activity permitted and prescribed medication managing discomfort
- Weeks 2 to 3: Most patients return to desk work and driving
- Weeks 4 to 6: Gradual return to exercise, beginning with lower body movement
- Week 6 and beyond: Full activity, including upper body exercise, typically resumes
Follow-up appointments monitor healing, address questions, and confirm your results are developing as planned.
