Dissatisfied with your Breast Size or Shape, then Breast Augmentation Surgery is a Choice to Consider

If you are dissatisfied with your breast size, Breast Augmentation Surgery is a choice to consider. Breast augmentation can:

• Increase fullness and projection of your breasts
• Improve the balance of your figure
• Enhance your self-image and self-confidence

Also known as augmentation mammaplasty, the procedure involves using implants to fulfill your desire for fuller breasts or to restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy.Implants also may be used to reconstruct a breast after mastectomy or injury.

What It Won't Do


Breast augmentation does not correct severely drooping breasts. If you want your breasts to look fuller and to be lifted due to sagging, a breast lift may be required in conjunction with breast augmentation.
Breast lifting can often be done at the same time as your augmentation or may require a separate operation. Your plastic surgeon will assist you in making this decision.


Is Breast Augmentation Right For Me?


Breast augmentation is a highly individualized procedure and you should do it for yourself, not to fulfill someone else's desires or to try to fit any sort of ideal image.
Breast augmentation may be a good option for you if:

• You are physically healthy
• You have realistic expectations
• Your breasts are fully developed
• You are bothered by the feeling that your breasts are too small
• You are dissatisfied with your breasts losing shape and volume after pregnancy, weight loss, or with aging
• Your breasts vary in size or shape
• One or both breasts failed to develop normally

Recovery Time for Breast Augmentation

Many patients have questions about breast augmentation and recovery.
Although many factors are involved  with determining your actual recovery time for breast augmentation, you will likely experience a post-surgical recovery period  of 24 to 48 hours and an additional reduced-activity period of a few days, you will likely experience soreness and swelling for about a week.
Exercise and normal activity can resume at the direction of your plastic surgeon. Over time, post-surgical swelling will decrease and incision lines will fade.

You Will Be Given Specific Instructions That May Include: 

How to care for your breasts following breast augmentation surgery, medications to apply or take orally to aid healing and reduce the risk of infection, and when to follow-up with Dr. Berman.

What You Can Expect During Your Individual Recovery Period

• After your surgery is complete you will be taken to the recovery suite.
• You will be given antibiotics and medication for pain.
• You will have dressing over your incisions and a bandage over your breast.
• You may resume normal activity and exercise two to three weeks post surgery depending on how you heal.
• You will return for follow-up care the following day after surgery.

 

Be Careful

Following your physician’s instructions is key to the success of your surgery. It is important that the surgical incisions are not subjected to excessive force, abrasion, or motion during the time of healing. Your doctor will give you specific instructions on how to care for yourself.
