One of the most popular and desired plastic surgery procedures remains breast augmentation. Whether the patient desires a discreet change, or is looking for a radically different look for herself, remains a question to be discussed with a plastic surgeon. The breast augmentation procedure involves the insertion of breast implants, achieving a permanent result. Not coincidentally, this particular intervention is one of the most popular and commonly performed procedures in plastic and aesthetic surgery.
Breast augmentation surgery can be not only a cosmetic procedure to correct the size of the breasts, but also a reconstructive procedure in the case of a mastectomy or as a result of an injury.
Most women interested in breast augmentation want to achieve a natural look and harmonious curves. The plastic surgeon is committed to presenting different types of breast implants and explaining the types of techniques involved in their placement. After a consultation with the plastic surgeon and a discussion of options, the final decision will be reached as to what is best for the patient, in relation to her anatomy and desired end result.
It is performed under anesthesia, before which you will be consulted by an anesthesiologist. The incision site and type of implant will be assessed by your plastic surgeon. The average duration of surgery is between 1 and 2 hours. The period you will stay in hospital for observation is about a day or two.
Usually, it is necessary to take a few days off for recovery after breast augmentation surgery. After the intervention, bandages are placed over the incisions. The sutures that are used are fully resorbable, which means there is no commitment to remove them. It is appropriate to wear a compression garment, such as a sports bra, to minimize swelling and to support the surgical site while it heals. Wearing a suitable tight bra is advisable within a month or so. You will be given the necessary advice and prescriptions for the post-operative period, according to the course of your operation. Heavy lifting, exercise and sudden movements will be prohibited in the first weeks.
