Breast Augmentation


Description:
Breast Augmentation or Mamaplasty is the enlarging of breasts through the use of breast implants. This allows breasts to appear larger and more feminine, increasing self-confidence. Breast implants can also be used in conjunction with a breast lift to give sagging breasts the youthful look they once had.

The Procedure:
The procedure consists of inserting an implant, usually filled with either silicon or saline, into the breast, increasing their size and giving them a more feminine contour. Potential buyers are encouraged to discuss the pros and cons of each type of implant with their doctor.

Time Required:
The surgery usually requires 1-2 hours but that may vary based on the situation.

In/Out Patient:
Outpatient

Side Effects:
Side effects from breast augmentation can include temporary sensitivity in the breast, bruising swelling or soreness in the breast, or loss of feeling in the nipple,

Risks:
All surgical procedures carry with them the risk for infection or other possible complications. The risks specific to breast augmentation include: scarring, asymmetry of breasts, and implant rupture or deflation.

Duration of Results:
Results are long lasting but changes in weight and body composition might create the need for a new implant.

Recovery Time:
Patients wear a specially designed bra home. The sutures are generally removed in 7- 12 days and most patients return to work before that. Aerobic exercise can be continued after 3 weeks.

Insurance:
Insurance does not usually apply. If the procedure is being performed in direct result of another medical condition it may be possible.

Level of Discomfort:
Most patients describe the discomfort as mild. Pain and swelling following surgery usually subsides in a few days.

Anesthesia:
Local anesthetic with sedation is usually employed but your surgeon may opt for general anesthesia.
