Overview of a Breast Augmentation
The goal of breast augmentation is to increase the fullness and projection of the breast such that it improves the balance in a woman’s figure.
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation enlarges a woman’s breasts through the surgical placement of breast implants. It is a cosmetic procedure performed to fulfill personal expectations or restore the loss of breast volume after weight loss or pregnancy.
The two main types of implants used for breast augmentation are saline and silicone gel. Saline implants are made of smooth silicone shells filled with a sterile saline solution. Should saline implants rupture or leak, the saline is safely absorbed by the body. Silicone gel implants are also made of a smooth silicone shells, however, they are filled with a sterile silicone gel. Both types of implants have been approved by the FDA.
Implant placement, type, and size will be determined based on your breast anatomy, body type, and desired increase in size.
Following surgery, initial healing may include swelling and discomfort that can be controlled with medication. A support bra may be recommended postoperatively. A return to light, normal activities is possible as soon as you feel ready, usually a day or two after surgery. Often, you may return to work within 5-10 days.
Results of breast augmentation are immediately visible. Soon you will be comfortable and confident with your new body. Incision lines will continue to fade over time. However, you should be aware that your breasts may change over time with normal aging.
