Breast Augmentation in Napa & Vacaville, CA
Board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthew Zeiderman performs customized breast augmentation for women throughout the North Bay and Greater Sacramento regions.
Breast shape and volume designed around your frame
Breast augmentation uses implants to increase breast volume, restore fullness lost after pregnancy or weight change, improve symmetry, and refine breast shape. The result depends on more than implant size: implant profile, width, fill material, incision location, and placement above or below the muscle all affect the final appearance.
Dr. Zeiderman begins with your anatomy and desired proportions, then builds a plan around how you want to look both in and out of clothing. Women visit his Napa and Vacaville offices from Davis, Sacramento, and communities across Northern California.
What can breast augmentation achieve?
Breast augmentation can add volume to naturally small breasts, restore upper-pole fullness after pregnancy or weight loss, and improve certain differences in size or shape between the breasts. Implants add volume, but they do not reliably correct significant sagging; a breast lift may be needed when nipple position or loose skin is the primary concern.
Dr. Zeiderman measures chest width, breast dimensions, skin quality, existing tissue, and asymmetry before discussing implant options. His advanced aesthetic breast training informs implant selection and pocket creation intended to produce a proportional, well-supported result.
Who is a good candidate for breast augmentation?
A good breast augmentation candidate is generally a healthy adult seeking more volume, improved shape, or better symmetry and who has realistic expectations about implants and future maintenance. If loose skin or low nipple position is the main concern, Dr. Zeiderman may recommend a breast lift with or without implants instead.
Sized for you, not for a number
Cup size is not a standardized measurement, so implant selection begins with chest width, tissue coverage, skin capacity, and the look you want. Dr. Zeiderman helps narrow the options to implants that fit your anatomy rather than selecting volume by a number alone.
What happens during the breast augmentation process?
Consultation and implant selection
Dr. Zeiderman measures your breasts and chest, evaluates tissue coverage and asymmetry, discusses silicone and saline implants, and reviews size, profile, incision, and pocket options.
Breast augmentation surgery
The procedure is performed under general anesthesia at an accredited surgical facility. Dr. Zeiderman creates the planned implant pocket and places the selected implants through carefully positioned incisions.
Follow-up and recovery
You receive instructions for support garments, incision care, sleeping, arm movement, and lifting restrictions, followed by visits as swelling decreases and the implants settle.
How long does breast augmentation recovery take?
Many patients return to desk work within several days to one week, although soreness and activity limits vary. Exercise and heavy lifting resume gradually, and the breasts continue to soften and settle over several months.

Breast augmentation FAQ
Dr. Zeiderman offers Allergan Natrelle silicone gel “gummy bear” implants, Motiva gel implants, and saline implants. He will recommend an implant type, size, and profile based on your anatomy, tissue characteristics, and aesthetic goals.
Dr. Zeiderman frequently incorporates an internal bra technique when additional breast support is appropriate. It may be recommended for patients with larger implants, a history of multiple breast surgeries, or weakened breast tissue. GalaFLEX and TIGR Matrix are commonly used, among other options. Dr. Zeiderman will evaluate your anatomy and surgical history to determine whether an internal bra is appropriate for you.
Silicone implants contain cohesive silicone gel and generally feel more like natural breast tissue. Saline implants contain sterile saltwater and allow some adjustment of fill volume during surgery. The better option depends on anatomy, priorities, implant feel, incision considerations, and monitoring preferences.
Implant placement depends on tissue thickness, skin quality, activity, implant selection, and the desired look. Placement beneath or partially beneath the muscle may provide more implant coverage, while placement above the muscle can avoid animation of the implant during chest contraction.
The right implant size is selected using breast and chest measurements, tissue coverage, skin capacity, implant width and profile, and your aesthetic goals. Sizers can help compare proportions, but cup size alone is not a reliable way to choose an implant.
Breast implants are not lifetime devices, but they do not automatically need replacement at 10 years. Revision is considered if rupture, capsular contracture, implant movement, cosmetic changes, or another concern develops. Ongoing follow-up and recommended implant surveillance remain important.
Many patients can breastfeed after breast augmentation, but no surgeon can guarantee future milk production. Pregnancy and nursing can also change breast shape and implant position. Discuss future breastfeeding plans with Dr. Zeiderman so they can be considered during surgical planning.
