At Iconic Plastic Surgery, patients benefit from the expertise of Dr. Gehaan D'Souza, a board certified plastic surgeon with specialized experience in breast augmentation procedures, renowned for his meticulous technique and commitment to natural-looking results. Choosing the right breast augmentation surgeon is one of the important factors in achieving patient safety and desired results. Dr. D'Souza has pioneered the Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation®, a specialized approach that minimizes bleeding and trauma during surgery, leading to reduced postoperative swelling and a quicker return to daily activities.

This method often allows patients to resume normal routines within 24 to 48 hours, with many requiring only over-the-counter medications like Tylenol for discomfort. Dr. D'Souza's dedication to personalized care ensures that each procedure is tailored to the patient's unique anatomy and aesthetic goals, with consultation focused on listening carefully to patient goals, prioritizing certification by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, and matching enhancements to each individual's body type for a comfortable and confident experience throughout their cosmetic journey.

He makes sure to cauterize or seal all bleeding vessels around the muscle and ribs during the procedure. Dr. D'Souza's approach to implant selections gives the patient much shorter time in the operation room. The recovery process still includes avoiding heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for about 4 weeks after surgery. This technical detail may help most patients return to work in 5-7 days, although healing restrictions still apply as recovery continues.

Dr. D'Souza's goal in breast augmentation is to cause as as little damage to the muscle or ribs as possible. Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation is made possible by Dr. D'Souza's use of a meticulous technique that causes as little bleeding as possible. Dr. D'Souza believes that blood oozing during the procedure near the ribs is what causes discomfort after a breast augmentation surgery.

Dr. D'Souza's patients see him for their consultation in his new Carlsbad office. Dr. D'Souza operates at a state of the art surgical center in the Carlsbad region, with patient safety prioritized through a properly licensed, Medicare-certified setting and accreditation by recognized agencies. He also maintains privileges at reputable local hospitals, and breast implant surgery is performed with safety-first protocols throughout. The surgical experience is designed for comfort and precision, and general anesthesia is administered with standard risks, including possible anesthesia reactions, reviewed before surgery. Most of our patients can perform their everyday activities within 24 hours following the operation. As swelling subsides over the first 4 weeks, final results continue to develop with healing. Dr. D'Souza does not believe in drains, surgery wraps or narcotic pain medications. The majority of patients only need Tylenol after the procedure. In fact, Dr. Dsouza encourages his patients to even go out to coffee or dinner the same night of their surgery.

Our Rapid Recovery Breast Augmentation gives women the ability to get on with their lives as soon as possible!
