Types Of Implants
A breast implant is a silicone shell filled with either silicone gel or a salt-water solution known as saline.
Breast Augmentation Anesthesia
Breast Augmentation can be performed with general anesthesia, allowing you to sleep through the entire surgery.
Breast Augmentation Surgery The method of inserting and positioning your implant will primarily depend upon your anatomy. The incision is made either in the crease where the breast meets the chest or around the areola. If there is some skin laxity (usually from multiple pregnancies), additional incisions may be necessary. Sometimes, a Breast Lift procedure may be combined with Breast Augmentation (Augmentation Mammaplasty) in order to obtain the best results. Every effort is made to assure that the incisions are placed so that the scars will be as inconspicuous as possible.
Working through the incision, your breast tissue and skin is lifted to create a pocket, usually directly behind the breast tissue or in some cases, underneath the pectoral muscle. The implants are then centered beneath your nipples.
The Breast Augmentation(Augmentation Mammaplasty)surgery usually takes one to two hours to complete. Stitches are used to close the incisions, which may also be taped for greater support and a bandage may be applied over your breasts to help with the healing.
After Breast Augmentation
After surgery, your breasts will be firm and swollen. It takes about a month for the swelling to subside and your breasts will be smaller and softer and up to a year for the implants to settle into a permanent position. Instructions will be given to you for a faster recovery.
The final goal of having Breast Augmentation (Augmentation Mammaplasty) is a very personal one. Most often women feel a renewed sense of self and confidence.
