Procedure- the initial step

During the first consultation, your surgeon will conduct a detailed examination of your physical characteristics and treatment preferences to determine the ideal implant volume. The surgeons will fully explain the breast augmentation procedure and characteristics of breast implants to you, as well as benefits and possible complications. Before your surgery, laboratory blood tests will be taken to ensure you are in a general good health. These medical tests should be done two weeks prior to the surgery.

Procedure- the operating step

Breast Augmentation procedure can be performed in two hours. Majority of plastic surgeons perform the surgery under IV anesthesia. The surgeons prefer IV sedation instead of General Anesthesia so as to provide quick recovery to patients and also to eliminate the pulmonary risks associated with General Anesthesia. For the utmost safety, your anesthesia should be administered only by Board Certified Anesthesiologists. By using IV anesthesia instead of General Anesthesia, much, of it all, chances of nausea is eliminated.

Types of breast implants

There are several type implants available. At your initial consultation, your surgeons will explain your options and help you choose the best one based on your body type, your natural breast size, the elasticity of your skin and your desired outcome. The different implants include:

Cohesive gel silicone breast implants

Silicone gel implants, which are prefilled with silicone gel, more closely match the look and feel of natural fat and breast tissue. These Silicone implants are more preferred by women for the breast augmentation. Silicone breast implants are considered to be medically safe and all of the FDA studies have concluded that these do not cause any disease.

Saline breast implants

After the surgeon places the empty implants, he will fill them with sterile water solutions. Saline implants are more likely to produce a rippled effect in overlying skin. Saline implants however require only as small incision as compared to a silicone implant.In addition, breast implants can come in two different shapes-round and anatomic. Each shape is available in a wide variety of sizes and which type and size you choose that is best for you will be based on a number of personal preferences.

How to choose your breast implant size?

When planning to undergo a breast augmentation, there are a lot details to choose from. A person can choose the size of the implants, depending upon how big the patient wants his breasts to get after the surgery.The choices should be made considering the body type of the patient. The top three implant sizes that patients usually choose from are 350cc, 400cc and 450cc silicone.The patient can also try on actual implants by inserting them inside the bra to get a rough idea of how their breasts are going to look after surgery. One can place them inside different bra sizes to try during your consult. The most preferred implant size is 400cc. The implant size also depends on the body frame and average metrics of the patient.

Breast Implant placement

When creating your customized aesthetic plan for your breast augmentation, one of the most important options you discuss with your surgeon is the placement of your breast implants. There are essentially two breast implant placement options to choose from:

• Subglandular placement (over the muscle)
• Submuscular placement (under the muscle)

Subglandular placement offers you a variety of benefits,including:

• Allows a larger breast implant size
• More lift
• Shorter recovery time
• Ease of placement
• More well-defined cleavage

On the other hand, benefits of submuscular placement include:

• More natural look and feel
• No unnatural motion or flexing of the breast
• Less interference with a mammogram
• Reduced risk of capsular contracture
• Reduced risk of rippling

This is a kind of decision that can only be made through a thorough, comprehensive discussion with your plastic surgeons.
