Great surgeon and office! Special shoutout to Angela that really advocated for me by arguing with my insurance to get coverage.

As a mom of three little boys, I just wanted to feel like me again, like I did before years of nursing and pregnancy. Thanks to Dr. Chalekson and his amazing team, I now do. The results of my BA are absolutely beautiful and so natural, which was important to me. The staff were incredibly kind, and the level of individual care in the operating room was exceptional. Dr. Chalekson is honest and down to earth, I felt comfortable talking to him each time we met and always felt he was giving me honest feedback that was never rushed. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and the confidence I’ve regained. Can’t recommend enough!

Who Is a Good Candidate for Breast Surgery?

Ideal candidates for breast surgery are:

  • Generally healthy and non-smokers (smoking increases surgical risks and slows healing).
  • Over the age of 18.
  • Women with realistic expectations about surgical outcomes.
  • Able to follow post-operative care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

If you’re considering breast reduction or augmentation surgery in Santa Maria and plan to have children in the future, discuss your family plans with Dr. Chalekson during your consultation.

Preparing for Breast Surgery

Proper preparation enhances your surgical outcomes and recovery. Key steps include:

  • Achieving a Healthy Lifestyle: Ensure you are at your desired weight, eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and getting adequate sleep.
  • Planning Assistance: Arrange for help with small children or household tasks, as you’ll be unable to lift heavy objects for the first week or two after surgery.

What to Expect During Recovery?

Your recovery experience will vary based on the specific procedure, but most breast surgeries performed in Santa Maria are outpatient procedures. Here’s what to expect:

Post-Operative Care:

  • A responsible adult should drive you home and stay with you for the first 24 hours.
  • You’ll receive detailed instructions to minimize complications.

Activity Restrictions:

  • Rest and avoid strenuous activity, particularly lifting, for several weeks.
  • Light walking is encouraged to promote circulation.

Support Garments:

  • Wear a surgical bra or compression garment as instructed to support healing and reduce swelling.

Return to Normal Activities:

  • Most patients return to regular activities within 4 to 6 weeks, depending on the procedure.

Will I Have Scars After Breast Surgery?

Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring. Initially, scars may appear red and raised but will fade and flatten over the first year. Adhering to post-operative care instructions significantly improves scar healing. If needed, scar revision options can be explored with Dr. Chalekson.
