Breast Augmentation
Is a procedure that, through the insertion of a safe implant, increases
the size of the breasts. This is great for a woman who feels she is lacking in
the bust area, or for one who has watched her breast size decrease over the years
or after giving birth. The results leave the patient with a more attractive contour
and luster.
Procedure:
Your surgeon can make the breast augmentation incision at a number of points,
the most common being in the underarm area, in the crease under the breast, and
around the areola (the pigmented skin around the nipple). You and your doctor
will decide together which is the most appropriate for you, your goals, and your
body type. Once the incision is made, saline filled implants are situated in
the pocket of the breast, either under or over the muscle. This is another variable
that will be determined at your consultation with your doctor, and again, can
depend on the look you desire and the suggestions of your doctor.
Recovery:
Some soreness, swelling, and possibly bruising, can be expected for a few days
folowing the procedure. However, this will slowly subside and your breasts will
begin to take their feminine shape. Most patients can return to work several
days after breast augmentation surgery, although this varies for everyone, of
course. A bit more time, usually about 3-4 weeks, is required before jumping
into
any
more
strenous
activies and it's generallly a few months to even a year before scars completely
fade.
Risks:
There are always potential risks associated with any surgical procedure,
but rather than fear them, it's smartest and safest to be aware of them. Be
sure to discuss any risks with your doctor at your consultation. Some of
the possible risks associated with breast augmentation include change in nipple
sensation, implant problems that may require removal and correction of procedure,
and some patients report symptoms like those associated with immune disorders.
