Breast Augmentation

Ideal candidates for breast augmentation are physically healthy, emotionally stable, and realistic about the procedure's outcome. They may seek breast augmentation to enhance breast size, restore volume lost due to weight loss or pregnancy, improve breast symmetry, or boost self-confidence.

During the procedure, the surgeon makes an incision, creates a pocket either behind the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle, and inserts the chosen implant. The incision is then closed with sutures, and the breasts are bandaged. The surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and may take a few hours to complete.

Recovery time varies for each individual but generally involves discomfort, swelling, and bruising in the chest area. Patients should avoid strenuous activities for several weeks and wear a supportive surgical bra to aid healing. Most people can return to work and normal activities within a few days to a week after surgery.

While breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, they are designed to be long-lasting. The lifespan of implants varies depending on implant type, placement, and individual factors. Some women may choose to replace or remove their implants after several years due to changes in breast shape, size, or personal preference.

The cost of breast augmentation can vary depending on factors such as geographic location, surgeon's experience and expertise, type of implants used, facility fees, anesthesia fees, and any additional procedures performed concurrently with breast augmentation. During your consultation, your surgeon will provide a detailed breakdown of the costs associated with your procedure and discuss financing options available to you.
