IYOUR INITIAL CONSULTATION
In your first breast augmentation consultation, your plastic surgeon will review your medical history, allergies, and medications. They will also assess your current health and understand your desired outcomes from the procedure. The surgeon will assist you in setting realistic goals and explore the available options. The surgery can be scheduled two to four weeks after the initial consultation, based on the plastic surgeon’s schedule and availability.
PREPARING FOR YOUR BREAST IMPLANT SURGERY

WHAT HAPPENS DURING BREAST AUGMENTATION PROCEDURE?
1. ANESTHESIA
You will receive anesthesia, regardless of whether you opt for intravenous sedation or general anesthesia.
2. INCISION
The surgical incision is performed on each breast, as previously discussed during your consultation.
3. IMPLANT INSERTION
The plastic surgeon inserts and places each breast implant into pockets.
4. SUTURE
The plastic surgeon closes the incision with layered sutures or surgical tape.
BREAST AUGMENTATION AND BREAST LIFT
Plastic surgeons frequently conduct combined breast augmentation and breast lift procedures, eliminating the need for larger implants as the lift can create the illusion of increased breast size. These procedures enhance cup size and provide improved outcomes, particularly suitable for women who have undergone weight loss or experienced breast tissue reduction due to nursing.
BREAST AUGMENTATION RECOVERY PROCESS
The recovery period for breast augmentation necessitates three to five days of rest before returning to work. It is common to experience weakness and discomfort for two to three weeks post-surgery. It is crucial to prioritize rest and ample sleep during the recovery phase. Refrain from wearing underwire bras for at least six weeks, keep your head and breasts above water, and sleep on your back at night. Avoid engaging in strenuous upper body activities.
