Spring Is Breast Augmentation Season: 5 Things to Avoid Before Choosing Your Surgeon

By Dr. Deborah Ekstrom
Orange County Plastic Surgery, Corona del Mar/Newport Beach

Spring is one of the busiest seasons for breast augmentation consultations. Many women plan surgery now so they are fully healed and confident for summer vacations, weddings, and swim season. While breast augmentation remains one of the most rewarding procedures we perform, choosing the right surgeon and plan is everything.

Here are five things to avoid when considering breast augmentation:

1. Avoid a surgeon without proper board certification.
Your surgeon should be certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, ensuring extensive training in both aesthetic surgery and patient safety.

2. Avoid surgeons who skip a full medical evaluation.
A proper history, physical examination, medication review, and appropriate pre-operative labs are essential. Safe surgery starts well before the operating room.

3. Avoid bargain implants and corner-cutting protocols.
Quality implants, sterile operating conditions, board-certified anesthesia professionals, and IV antibiotics during surgery are non-negotiable for optimal outcomes and safety.

4. Avoid anyone who talks you into surgery.
The best consultation is a collaborative conversation. Surgery should be your decision, based on your goals—not sales pressure.

5. Avoid implants that are too large for your frame.
Beautiful breast augmentation is about proportion, balance, and long-term elegance. Oversized implants can stretch tissues and age poorly over time.

The best results come from thoughtful planning, beautiful proportionality, and a surgeon who prioritizes your safety as much as your aesthetic outcome.
Spring is the season of renewal—and for many women, it is the perfect time to feel refreshed, confident, and ready for summer.

Dr. Deborah Ekstrom explains that body contouring is designed to refine shape, not replace healthy habits. Procedures like liposuction and tummy tuck can address stubborn fat, excess skin, and muscle separation, but the best results happen when surgery is paired with consistent lifestyle choices.

Surgery enhances the canvas. Your habits determine how that canvas looks over time.

Is My Anatomy Normal? When Labiaplasty Is About Comfort, Not Comparison - By Dr. Deborah Ekstrom
Orange County Plastic Surgery, Corona del Mar/Newport Beach

One of the hottest topics in plastic surgery right now is not the procedure itself, but the conversation surrounding it.
Labiaplasty is often misunderstood online. Social media, edited images, and unrealistic comparisons have led many women to ask the wrong first question: “Do I look normal?” The truth is that normal female anatomy exists in an incredibly wide range of shapes, sizes, and asymmetries. There is no single ideal.
The more meaningful question is often: “Am I comfortable?”
For many women, enlarged or elongated labial tissue can create very real physical issues—irritation in workout clothes, discomfort in swimsuits, pinching with cycling, tugging during intimacy, or self-consciousness in leggings and fitted clothing. These concerns are common, and they are valid.
What makes this topic so current is the growing awareness that labiaplasty should never be about chasing a digitally altered or socially manufactured image. The best candidates are women seeking comfort, confidence, and freedom from daily irritation, not comparison to someone else’s anatomy.
As plastic surgeons, our responsibility is to replace misinformation with education. A thoughtful consultation begins with reassurance: anatomy varies enormously, and variation alone is not a problem. Surgery only makes sense when a woman’s own anatomy is causing persistent physical discomfort or affecting her confidence in a meaningful way.
The goal is not transformation. The goal is relief, balance, and natural refinement that preserves normal function and sensation.
If you have ever wondered whether your anatomy is “normal,” the answer is almost certainly yes. But if it interferes with your lifestyle, exercise, or confidence, there are safe, elegant solutions that can help.

Breast Augmentation: What You Need to Know
By Dr. Juris Bunkis
Orange County Plastic Surgery, Corona del Mar/Newport Beach

Quick Quiz
Let’s begin with a quick quiz.
Which of the following is the most important factor in achieving a successful breast augmentation outcome?
A. Choosing the largest implant size possible
B. Selecting silicone over saline implants
C. Following a friend’s recommendation exactly
D. Choosing a board-certified plastic surgeon experienced in breast surgery
E. Scheduling surgery during the winter months
Correct answer: D
Breast augmentation remains one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in Southern California, and for good reason. When thoughtfully planned and expertly performed, it can restore volume, improve symmetry, and enhance overall body proportions in a very natural way.
However, the decision to undergo breast augmentation involves more than simply choosing an implant size. Patients must consider implant type (saline vs. silicone), implant placement (above or below the muscle), incision location, and their own anatomy and lifestyle. These variables are best navigated with an experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon who performs breast surgery regularly.
Equally important is the consultation process. This is a deeply personal decision, and many female patients feel more comfortable discussing sensitive topics—such as body image, prior pregnancies, or aesthetic goals—with a female surgeon who understands these concerns firsthand.
Dr. Ekstrom has built a reputation in Orange County as an expert in breast surgery, including augmentation, lifts, and revision procedures. Breast procedures comprise a significant portion of her practice, and she brings both technical precision and an artistic eye to each case. Her approach is individualized—there is no “one-size-fits-all” solution—and she places a strong emphasis on patient education, safety, and natural-looking results.
Patients often tell us that the consultation itself is enlightening. Understanding your options, having your questions answered, and feeling heard are critical steps in making the right decision.
If you have been considering breast augmentation—or have questions about prior surgery—we invite you to schedule a consultation with Dr. Ekstrom. Whether your goals are subtle enhancement or more dramatic change, you will receive thoughtful guidance tailored specifically to you.
