Breast Enlargement
Breast Enlargement is typically performed to
enlarge small breasts, underdeveloped breasts, uneven breasts or breasts
that have decreased in size after a women has had children. By surgically
inserting an implant behind each breast, the results can be subtle to
dramatic, depending on your preference. You can have larger, firmer fuller
breasts after breast enlargement.
Usually an incision is made under the breast, around the areola (the dark
area surrounding the nipple), in the armpit or through the navel. A pocket
is created for the implant either behind the breast tissue or behind the
muscle between the breast and the chest wall. Depending on the type and
manufacturer of your breast implant, the implant may be already filled and
placed inside the pocket as is, or it may be flat and then rolled while
attached to a small tube. This type of implant allows the surgeon to insert
the implant through a small incision and "tunnel" it under the skin and
place it into the pocket where it is then filled (with saline) to the
desired size. The small tube is removed and the breast implant remains
filled and permanently sealed.
Breast Enlargement is usually performed as outpatient surgery. Following
surgery, you will wear a gauze dressing or a surgical bra This type bra will
be worn for several weeks after surgery. With Breast Enlargement, some
swelling or discoloration will occur but will disappear shortly after
surgery. Numbness is also common but will subside as well. Vigorous
activities, especially arm movement, may be restricted for two to three
weeks following Breast Surgery.
