Breast augmentation is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures. It can increase the size of your breasts, restore breast volume, achieve a more rounded breast shape and/or improve natural breast size asymmetry. If you think breast enhancement may help give you more confidence, there are different options available depending on your goals. Planning ahead is also essential so you can schedule your procedure to fit your life.
There are several decision points such as incision location, placement of the implant (above or below the muscle), and type of implant to be used – saline or silicone. Your plastic surgeon can help walk you through the advantages and disadvantages of each option. It will also be important to discuss the size and shape you are hoping to achieve, activities you enjoy and what your job requirements are to help make the best selection for your breast enhancement. Experienced surgeons look at all factors while guiding you along this journey.
While you may be able to walk around and perform simple tasks just a few days after surgery, you should allow yourself several weeks to recover.
After 2-3 months, your new breasts will start to look and feel more like part of your own body. They will soften up and you can determine what new cup size will fit you best! Taking the time to heal after a significant procedure will enhance the result of your surgery and help minimize the already low risk of complications such as post-surgical infections.
