Questions to ask before you do breast augmentation

Breast augmentation surgery changes the shape and size of a woman’s breasts, using breast implants. Women choose to have breast augmentation surgery to change the contours of their body, to correct loss of breast volume following pregnancy, to make their breasts symmetrical, and for other reasons. With breast augmentation surgery, a woman’s bust line is increased by one or more cup sizes.

At The Plastic Surgery Center of Nashville in Tennessee, we perform breast augmentation surgery with saline breast implants, though silicone breast implants are available to women participating in certain FDA-approved studies.

Breast Augmentation Surgery

At our cosmetic surgery practice in Nashville, Tennessee, breast augmentation surgery is performed with general anesthesia. The surgeon who carries out breast augmentation makes the surgical incision along the crease on the underside of the breast or around the areola. The surgeon works through the incision, creating a pocket behind the breast tissue or under the chest muscle to accommodate the breast implant.

Breast augmentation surgery will require one or two hours to complete. The incisions will be closed using stitches, though tape, bandages and gauze may be applied for support and to assist with healing.

After Breast Augmentation Surgery

At The Plastic Surgery Center, Nashville in Tennessee, USA the breast augmentation surgeon and our staff will monitor your progress after surgery. Drainage tubes may be inserted for several days in order to remove excess fluid. After breast augmentation surgery, you may feel tired and sore for a few days but you should be mobile in one to two days. Within a few days, gauze and surgical dressing will be removed at which time you may change to a soft cup bra. In the event that some sutures fail to dissolve on their own will be removed in seven to 10 days.

During the first two weeks, your nipples may experience a burning sensation which will subside as post-surgical bruising begins to fade. After breast augmentation surgery Swelling may persist for three to five weeks with implants placed under the breast gland. Swelling may persist significantly longer in breast augmentation where the implants are placed under the muscle, approximately three to five months.

Recovery

It has been seen that a few days after breast augmentation surgery most patients return to work depending on the amount of activity their job requires. Your breasts will be very sensitive to direct stimulation during the first two to three weeks. After three to four weeks if your breasts are no longer sore, breast contact should be fine. Heavy lifting, pushing, or pulling with the upper body is not recommended for at least two weeks after breast augmentation surgery. Any form of activity that causes an increase in your heart rate or blood pressure for the first two weeks is not permitted.

Surgical scars will appear pink and firm for six weeks after breast augmentation surgery. The surgical scars may appear to be widened or remain the same size for several months but will eventually fade, though they will not disappear completely. If you experience any serious complications during your recovery period, contact your doctor.

Potential Risks

At the cosmetic surgery office in Nashville, Tennessee for instance, we perform breast augmentation surgery often, and usually achieve excellent results. Yet, but with other types of surgery, there are a number of potential risks involved

One of the most common complications associated with breast augmentation surgery is called capsular contracture, which occurs when the capsule or scar around a breast implant tightens, causing a woman’s breast to feel abnormally hard. The condition is treatable. Other complications that may come after breast augmentation surgery that may require a second operation include excessive bleeding or infection. Oversensitive, under-sensitive, or numb nipples are other infrequent but possible complications.

There is the possibility of breast implant breaking. If a saline breast implant leaks or breaks, the implant will drain completely within a few hours and your body will absorb the salt water harmlessly. If a silicone gel-filled implant breaks, you may not detect the leakages if the scar tissue around the breast implant remains intact. If the scar tissue does break or tear, however, the silicone gel may migrate into the surrounding tissue. In the event that saline or silicone implants breaks, you will require a second operation to replace the leaking implant. Do contact you’re a specialist hospital if your implant breaks to speak with a breast augmentation surgeon.

Some persons who did breast augmentation have experienced symptoms of arthritis-like conditions and immune system diseases. Researchers have found no clear link between symptoms of connective-tissue disorders and silicone breast implants as at present hence FDA is presently conducting further studies on this issue.

Though evidence currently in circulation does not show a link between breast augmentation surgery and breast cancer, breast implants can alter the way a mammography is performed in order to detect breast cancer. Trained radiologists will need to perform special displacement techniques as breast implants may obscure breast tissue on some views.
