Consultation With Plastic Surgeon On Options

Once you have decided on implant breast augmentation and selected a plastic surgeon for the procedure, the next step would be to consult with the surgeon on the options for achieving your desired size and appearance for the breasts. The surgeon will go through the various implant varieties, including saline and silicone, smooth or textured, teardrop-shaped or round.

Surgery

Implant breast augmentation can be performed in an outpatient hospital setting or surgical facility. Most likely, you’ll return home that day. Rarely does the surgery necessitate a prolonged hospital stay.

Breast augmentation is typically performed under general anesthesia. Your plastic surgeon will make a small cut at one of these areas to insert the breast implants

• The crease under your breast (inframammary).
• Underneath your arm (axillary).
• Around your nipple area (periareolar).

The surgeon will extract your breast tissue from the muscles and connective tissue of your chest after making an incision. As a result, there is a pocket either in front of, or behind the outermost muscle of the chest wall (pectoral muscle). The implant will be positioned in the center of this pocket behind your nipple by the surgeon.

Saline implants are first placed without any liquid inside before being filled with sterile salt water. Conversely, silicone implants already come with silicone gel in the shell. The incision is usually stitched up once the implant has been placed, and it is then bandaged with skin adhesive and surgical tape.

Recovery Phase

Soon after undergoing breast implant surgery, you ought to be capable of moving around. You might consider a week or two off work because recovering after surgery can take a few weeks. For at least a week, you should not drive.

Following breast implant surgery, some doctors advise wearing a sports bra constantly for up to three months (check with your surgeon). For at least a month, refrain from doing any hard lifting or demanding activity.
