The patient is a 24-year-old San Diego woman who came into the office wanting a breast augmentation. On examination, we noted that she had mild nipple asymmetry, which is very common in women. No two breasts are exactly the same. We discussed the augmentation with a small adjustment, a small lift on one side. This allows us to elevate and match the nipple and areola to the other (more “youthful”) side. She underwent the placement of a 339 cc smooth round silicone implant through a nipple incision with a small “periareolar” breast lift on her right side. View photos.

In light of the state wide restrictions on non-essential businesses to help reduce the spread of COVID-19, we are rescheduling all of our elective appointments until the global circumstances improve. Our necessary post-operative appointments will be made, as needed, to address immediate surgical concerns such as suture removal and acute postoperative issues. All non-acute follow up appointments, fillers and Botox will need to be postponed until after the quarantine period mid April. Our office will reach out to all patients who need to be rescheduled.
We will be offering new patient virtual consultations online and via Skype that can be scheduled through our website or by emailing info@marinaesthetics.com. Also, we will offer follow-up appointments in the same manner to help manage our patients’ concerns while still respecting the need for social distancing.
We appreciate all of your understanding during these difficult times for all of us.
