PROCEDURE DESCRIPTION
RECUPERATION AND HEALING
The procedure is done on an outpatient basis under general
anesthesia.
A small incision is made under the breast, around the
nipple, or under the arm and a saline or gel implant is
inserted under the breast tissue or under the breast tissue
and the underlying muscle.
The patient goes home in an elastic bra. The bra helps
hold the breasts in the correct position.
Initial discomfort is controlled with oral medication.
The wound is closed with subcuticular absorbable sutures
and no suture removal is necessary.
Light activities can be resumed as tolerated. Aerobic
activities can be started in about 3 weeks.
Moving or sliding the implants within the breast pockets
in the post operative period may reduce the frequency
of wrinkling.
OTHER OPTIONS
INSURANCE GUIDELINES
Additional
procedures that may enhance the result include Mastopexy
(breast lift)-if the breasts are saggy in addition to being small.
This
procedure is now considered cosmetic and therefore is not covered
by insurance. The patient is responsible for payment.
NOTE
The
specific risks and the suitability of this procedure for a given
individual can be determined only at the time of consultation. All
surgical procedures have some degree of risk. Minor complications
that do not affect the outcome occur occasionally. Major complications
are unusual.
