What is required of me after surgery?
You may be required to wear a support bra. The added support during your healing process will allow your augmented breasts to form and maintain a pleasing dimension to your overall proportion and symmetry.
Does it hurt?
breast enhancement involves surgical separation of the tissues in the anterior chest, and placement of a breast implant.
If the implant is placed behind the breast tissue but in front of the chest muscle, then pain is often quite minimal.
If you elect to place the implant under the muscle, on the other hand, then the pectoral muscle must be stretched out considerably in order to fit the implant. This gives an aching pain that most people are familiar with after vigorous exercise, only it is more severe. It is usually quite strong at first, but improves with each day and is somewhat relieved by pain medications.
How long do the results last?
Breast augmentation makes the breasts for the duraton of the life of the implant. Remember, also that larger breasts sag faster than smaller breasts, and augmented breasts do this as well. Gravity, unfortunately has no exceptions.
Is there much scarring?
It is necessary to make a small incision to insert the implant, and this will leave a scar. Cosmetic surgeons are remarkably clever at hiding this incision, however. Common places to hide it include: placing the incision in the axilla (armpit) ; placing the incision where the skin changes color at the border of the dark-colored areola around the nipple and the regular skin; hiding the incision under the breast in the crease. Dr. Cheski is one of the few surgeons that can perform breast implants through the belly button. Click here for example photos.
How long until I can go back to work?
Usually it is possible to resume quiet activities in two or three days. You will still be sore, of course, and should avoid heavy use of the arms. If your work is quite sedentary, it would be possible to return to work at this time. If your work is more vigorous, however, then you will have to take more time off in order to allow for proper healing.
How long before I can resume normal activities?
You will probably be able to return to all normal activities by about two months. Recovery varies from patient to patient and depends upon the technique, type of implant, and site of placement that the doctor uses as well as the level of activities in the daily routine . Consult with your doctor for more specific information regarding your case.
What benefit could I expect from the surgery?
Breast augmentation reliably increases the size of the breasts as well as possibly "balancing" one's figure; top to bottom. In America, this often results in increased attention from the male half of the population, leading to preferential treatment. In addition, you will hopefully have an increase in your self-esteem because your new appearance is pleasing to your eyes.
Wash carefully before surgery.
Avoid aspirin and aspirin containing medicines for 2 weeks prior to surgery.
If possible, try to schedule surgery at a time other than your menstrual period.
For at least 3-5 days, try to keep arm extension to a minimal. Elbows should not be raised higher than ones axilla/armpit. This allows the tissue to heal without added stretching and separating muscle/tissue surrounding the breast implants.
