What can I expect from breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation is one of the greatest plastic surgery operations out there. It enhances all of the features of your breasts by placing an implant under the pectoral muscle thus avoiding your breast tissues so you can still breast feed if interested.
It is all done through a small 4cm incision and the recovery lasts about a week at which point you can return to most of your activities. The results will last as long as the implant lasts. FDA recommends we exchange implants at around 12 to 15 years. There's no hard and fast rule but this is the recommendation.
Best wishes.

Thank you for your question. Recovery from breast augmentation surgery is
individual. That being said, the
expectation for recovery from a breast augmentation wherein the implant is
placed under the muscle would likely be less than a week. That being said,
there are multiple options for scar treatment.
I wish you the best of luck.

Thank you for the question.On average, the surgery takes 1 hour and most of my patients require 2 to 4 days of rest and use of pain medications/muscle relaxants. Most patients are able to return to work (desk job) at one week. I asked my patients to avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for 4 to 6 weeks.  Make sure you are working with a well trained/experienced board-certified plastic surgeon and communicate your goals clearly.it is important to communicate your size goals with your surgeon. In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C or D cup” means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.I use intraoperative sizers and place the patient in the upright position to evaluate breast size. The patient's goal pictures are hanging on the wall, and allow for direct comparison.I have found that this system is very helpful in improving the chances of achieving the patient's goals as consistently as possible.I hope this helps.
