Conscious Breast Augmentation

 

Breast enhancement is the most popular cosmetic surgical procedure for women today. Yet many women are reluctant to consider breast augmentation because of potential general anesthesia risks.

Dr. Walter Tom continues to research innovative minimally invasive surgical technologies that help patients achieve their desired cosmetic goals. He believes that many cosmetic procedures can be performed under local anesthesia and uses this technique exclusively.

Since 2008, Dr. Tom is proud to offer Conscious Breast Augmentation which avoids the risks of traditional general anesthesia. Patients are awake and comfortably interact with Dr. Tom and his breast surgical staff throughout their procedure.

Dr. Walter Tom trained and practiced as a general, vascular and transplant surgeon for over twenty years with an emphasis on surgical care of breast cancer. As a Cosmetic Surgeon, he is excited to help women on the “wellness” side of their aesthetic breast concerns. Body proportion harmony is the basis of Dr. Tom’s aesthetic philosophy. Breast size should be in proportion to body type and size. The best size is one that balances what the patient desires and what her breast tissue will safely allow. Our cosmetic breast team offers educational consultations with an initial visit with the Breast Liaison followed immediately with an in depth consultation with Dr. Tom. An emphasis on education and an open dialogue between patient and the cosmetic surgical team are a high priority.

It’s very common for women to think about cosmetic breast surgery for years before actually scheduling a consultation. Dr. Tom and his surgical team want you to feel safe and confident in making your decision.
