What is the surgical process for breast implants?

Before making a major decision in your life that involves altering the size and shape of your bust, it is important to understand what is involved in the surgical process for breast augmentation. You should always go into any medical procedure with your eyes wide open and any questions adequately answered.

What is the First Step in Breast Implant Surgery?

Breast implant surgery involves taking a journey from where you are right now to where you want to be as you enhance your breasts. You will need to begin with a consultation visit with your plastic surgeon in order to have your breasts evaluated, ensure that there are no health conditions that could put you at risk, and make sure that breast implant surgery is what you really want. If your plastic surgeon is in favor of performing breast implant surgery, you are going to need to determine what cup size you want to be. Review photo galleries of previous patients to get an idea of how much of an enhancement is right for you. You can also wear gel inserts in your bra that can give you a better idea of what you can expect. In addition to knowing what size you prefer for your breasts, you also need to think about what kind of implant you want. You can opt for silicone or you can go with saline. Your plastic surgeon can provide you with detailed information about each type of implant to help you to make your decision.

Prepare for Surgery

Prior to your surgery, you should not be taking any medications that include aspirin as this is a blood thinner. You should also avoid herbal supplements and smoking prior to surgery. You need to be in good health when it is time for your procedure. Be sure to inform your surgeon if you are not feeling well. Increasing your intake of vitamins can be helpful in your recovery. You should follow all recommended restrictions the day before your surgery, such as avoiding food and drinks past a certain time. You should shower and cleanse your body thoroughly prior to your procedure. It is recommended to use an antiseptic wash that will eliminate any bacteria on your skin prior to your procedure.

What is the Surgical Procedure for Breast Implants?

General anesthesia is typically used for breast implant surgery. While you are under the effects of anesthesia, your surgeon will make incisions in your breasts to insert your implants. These incisions could be made through your armpits, in the crease that runs beneath your breasts, or on the borders of your areolas. Your surgeon will discuss potential incision sites with you before your procedure in order to give you a say in which type of incision you would prefer. Once the incision has been made, your implants will be inserted into your breasts. They may be placed below or above your pectoral muscles. Your incisions will be closed and you will be sent home after you have been cleared to go in recovery.
