Breast augmentation is one of the most popular plastic surgeries today and one of the most desired for many years. Throughout the years, it has been the choice of women of all ages and lifestyles.

This surgery can improve the appearance, size and shape of the breasts, helping to restore self-confidence.

Today, Dr. Boone will tell us what you should know before undergoing breast augmentation.

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure designed to increase the size and improve the shape of the breasts. Breast implants or fat grafting from the patient is used to achieve the desired result. 

This procedure is a solution for women who wish to increase the size of their breasts, improve their symmetry or restore volume lost after weight loss or pregnancy.

Recovery Process

Breast augmentation is characterized by a relatively uneventful recovery. Patients may experience some discomfort, swelling and bruising after the procedure. These symptoms disappear after a few days, and most people are able to return to work after a week. 

During recovery, it is important to follow your plastic surgeon’s post-operative instructions to ensure a safe and uncomplicated recovery.

Long-term results and maintenance

The results of a Breast Augmentation may be visible immediately after surgery. You should know that it takes several weeks or months to see the final result; that is when the swelling and inflammation subside completely. Over time, the breasts will settle into their final position and look more natural.

Breast Implants: Options and Sizes

Breast implants come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials, each with its own advantages. From saline implants to cohesive silicone gel implants. At Ideal Plastic Surgery we use Sientra implants which are designed to hold their shape over time and are soft to the touch.

You should keep in mind that it is very important to reach an agreement with your plastic surgeon to determine which option is best for you.

Healing

One of the great advantages of having this surgery is that the scar is very small, almost imperceptible. It can measure between 2 to 6 centimeters and can be performed in the areola or in the breast fold.
