"Awake" 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. 

Dr. Tom is now proud to offer Conscious Breast Augmentation to Maui 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. Patients can even sit up and help determine the desired fill size of the implant with the aid of a large mirror held by the staff.

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. He is now 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.
