Medical Procedure: Breast Implants/Breast Augmentation
Medical Name: Mammaplasty
What to Expect from Breast Implant Surgery: Breast Augmentation enhances or creates fullness in the breasts by use of implants. Women with small breasts, or who have lost fullness in their breasts after breastfeeding or weight loss may choose to have breast implants to enhance the size and shape of their busts, as a permanent solution. Note that breast implants do not lift already sagging breasts. For this, a breast lift may be done in conjunction with this procedure.
Description of Breast Implant Surgery: The first step is a detailed consultation with your surgeon, who will determine the best method that will achieve your desired end results. The most common places for incisions are the inframmamary (where the chest and the breast comes together) or the under the areola (colored skin around the nipple). Other options for incisions are becoming more and more popular, such as the transaxillary (or armpit) incision and the naval incision. Where the incision will be made will depend on the size, shape and type of implant. 
The implant itself can either be placed over the pectoral muscle or under it. You and your doctor will also discuss and determine which type of implant will achieve your desired results. Currently, doctors are using pre-filled saline or silicone gel implants, and inflattable saline implants. Inflattable implants require smaller incisions, because the pack is smaller when deposited into the breast pocket. This procedure is outpatient, which means that the patient can return home the same day, however your doctor may require that you stay overnight in the hospital.
Good Candidates for Breast Implant Surgery: The minimum age requirement should be 18, unless the surgery is to be performed based on reconstructive means. People who have lost volume in their breasts due to pregnancy, weight loss or age; people who who are self-conscious about the small size of their breasts.
Average Duration of Breast Implant Surgery: a few hours
Estimated Recovery Time: You will be able to move about within 2 days of your surgery, but you will not be fully healed in less than a month.
I can return to work within: 1-2 weeks. As long as your job does not require strenuous activity or anything that will raise your blood pressure, you should be safe returning to work in 1-2 weeks.
I should see the complete result of my Breast Implant Surgery within: Immediately. Although it may take time for the swelling and bruising to disappear after your surgery, you will see an immediate increase in size as soon as the surgery is finished. Results are permanent.
Pain Factor: Patients are typically under general anesthesia during this procedure, however local anesthesia, or a combination of local anesthesia with sedation are also options. Swelling, bruising and soreness are to be expected.
Potential Side Effects/Risks associated with Breast Implant Surgery: Allergic reaction to anesthesia, bleeding, shifting of the implant, unwanted scarring, infection, temporary numbness, soreness, stiffness, slight discoloration around the breast area (temporary).
