Breast Augmentation from Consultation to Recovery
Posted on May 15, 2024
Are you looking to enhance your curves? Perhaps you’ve always had small breasts and are ready to change that? Or maybe you want to address asymmetry? Breast augmentation at Falcon Plastic Surgery can help you finally achieve the body of your dreams. Let’s take a look at what you can expect from the process, from start to finish.
Consultation is the First Step to Your New Look
Your journey to reshaping your figure starts with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Falcon. Using his years of experience and expertise, he will discuss your aesthetic goals, review your medical history, and determine if you’re a good candidate for breast augmentation. He’ll also tell you more about the procedure and address any questions or concerns you have.
Choosing the Right Breast Implants
There are many factors to consider when choosing breast implants, and Dr. Falcon will guide you as you pick the right size, material, placement, and profile for you. He’ll recommend the most suitable options based on your body type, lifestyle, and desired look.
What to Expect From Breast Augmentation Surgery
Breast augmentation is typically an outpatient procedure that takes 1-2 hours. Your surgery will involve creating a pocket in the breast tissue, inserting the selected implant, and closing the incision. General anesthesia will be administered beforehand to ensure you’re completely comfortable throughout the procedure.
Recovery Tips and Advice
The recovery period varies depending on the individual and type of implant used. Generally, it takes 2-6 weeks for complete recovery. Here are some tips to aid your recovery:
- Ensure you have someone to drive you home after the surgery and help around the house for the first couple of days.
- Follow post-operative care instructions given by Dr. Falcon
- Avoid vigorous activities until cleared by Dr. Falcon
- Avoid laying on your breasts
- Wear your compression garment for the first few weeks to help with swelling and bruising.
Breast Augmentation FAQs
We believe in delivering transparent and honest answers to all your questions. Here are some commonly asked questions we regularly receive about breast augmentation.
Is breast augmentation safe?
Yes, breast augmentation is a safe procedure, especially under the care of a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Falcon. However, like any surgical procedure, it has a few risks. Dr. Falcon will discuss these potential risks and how to mitigate them during your consultation.
How long do implants last?
With modern improvements in surgical techniques and implant technology, most breast implants last between 10-15 years.
When will I see the results?
You’ll likely notice some results immediately after surgery, but the most significant improvements will be hidden due to swelling. You should start to see the full results 3-4 months after surgery as the swelling subsides and your breast implants settle into place.
