How Is Breast Augmentation Performed?

The process of breast augmentation surgery itself is pretty straightforward. During the procedure, your surgeon will make incisions in your breast tissue, around your areola, and/or around your chest. The implants are then inserted through these incisions, underneath your breast tissue and around your chest tissue to maintain their position. The type of implants used will depend on your goals and your plastic surgeon’s recommendation. We’ll talk more about the different types of implants later in this article.

What Are the Different Types of Implants?

Breast implants are made of silicone or saline. The type of implant you receive will depend on your goals and your plastic surgeon’s recommendation. Let’s go over some of the most common types of breast implants. – Silicone Breast Implants- Silicone implants are the most common type of breast implants. They are composed of silicone gel that is filled with sterile saline solution. These silicone implants often have larger shells and more texture than saline implants. – Saline Breast Implants- Saline breast implants are filled with sterile salt water. These implants are soft and smooth and have smaller shells than silicone implants.

Key Steps of Breast Implant Surgery

Pre-operative Preparation- As with any surgical procedure, it’s important to follow your surgeon’s pre-operative preparation instructions to reduce your risk of complications. – Surgical Procedures- Your surgeon will make incisions in the breast tissue, around the areola, and/or around the chest. He or she will then insert the breast implants underneath the breast tissue and around the chest tissue. – Post-operative Care- Post-operative care is essential to achieving the best results and a smooth recovery. We recommend following your surgeon’s post-operative care instructions to help reduce your risk of complications and maximize your results.

Potential Risks and Complications

The most common risks and complications associated with breast augmentation surgery include infection, bleeding, blood clots, allergic reactions, fluid buildup, capsular contracture, and pain. Infection and bleeding are rare, but serious complications. Additionally, you may experience mild to moderate pain after surgery. – Infection- Infection is a rare but serious complication that can lead to serious long-term health issues. Be sure to follow your surgeon’s instructions for post-operative care to reduce your risk of infection. – Blood Clots- Blood clots are another rare but serious complication. Blood clots can lead to significant health issues like heart attack or stroke. If you take blood thinners, your risk of blood clots is lower. – Allergic Reaction- An allergic reaction is a common complication, but it is usually mild and can be treated with medication. – Fluid Buildup- Fluid buildup can cause swelling and pain, but it usually goes away on its own as your body gets used to the implants. – Capsular Contracture- Capsular contracture (also known as a “hardening of the breasts”) is a rare complication that can cause a significant drop in breast size and/or breast shape.

Costs and Financing Options

The cost of breast augmentation surgery will vary based on the type of implant used, your surgeon’s fee, your facility fee, additional charges for anesthesia and other procedures, your health insurance coverage, and any additional post-operative care instructions. As with any major medical procedure, be sure to research several breast augmentation providers in your area and compare costs, to ensure you get the best value for your money. One great way to reduce the costs associated with breast augmentation surgery is to use a financing plan. Many providers offer financing options, so you can get the procedure you want now, while paying over time. This can help to reduce upfront costs and make the procedure more affordable.
