Breast Implant Surgery
Depending on your expectations and goals, Dr. Andreasen will develop a personalized breast enlargement plan that will help you achieve the most natural-looking results. During your visit with Dr. Andreasen, you can discuss the options in breast augmentation surgery and learn what to expect before and after breast augmentation.
Prior to surgery, Dr. Andreasen will provide you with instructions on how to prepare for the day of your procedure. Also, aftercare directions will be provided, along with any medications necessary for your recovery. It is recommended that you prepare for your recovery period before the surgery in order to avoid post-surgical stress. One of the most important factors to consider is the type of breast implant to be used. Dr. Andreasen offers saline and silicone gel filled implants; their respective advantages and disadvantages are discussed during the consultation.
During the procedure itself, Dr. Andreasen can make an incision under the breast in the natural crease, around the areola, in the armpit, or in the navel. Based on your particular anatomy and desired outcome, the most appropriate incision location will be chosen. The next step is placement of the implant; the implants may be placed either above the chest muscle or beneath the muscle. Those who have thinner skin may be better suited for below muscle placement in order to reduce the risk of rippling.
Post-surgery, your breasts will be bandaged and a special bra will be worn for a specified period of time in order to allow for proper healing. Movement of the arms and chest area will be limited as the body adjusts the new breast implants. Typically, you may return to light activities in approximately one week; however, heavy lifting and more strenuous exercise and activities should not be commenced for up to four to six weeks. It is important to take note that their will be some swelling for a few months after surgery and may not subside completely for up to a year. I strive to provide the most natural-looking results, the breasts may take some time to settle in their natural shape. In addition, incision scars are minimal, fade over time, and frequently covered by clothing.
Cost of the procedure will be determined during your visit. Usually, the type of implant, anesthesiologist fee, and surgery center fee are all considered when providing a quote on the final cost of your breast augmentation procedure. For patients who find that they may be unsure if they can afford the surgery, we provide financing options through various trusted payment programs. It is our goal to help you reach your desired outcome without the added stress of a financial burden.
To achieve optimal results, many of our Ontario and Riverside breast augmentation patients also undergo breast lift surgery, or “mastopexy.” Breast implant surgery combined with a breast lift involves the removal of excess skin and breast tissue, and the insertion of saline or silicone gel implants for an overall fullness. Patients should be aware that the addition of the breast lift procedure will add to the final cost of the procedure and must take this into consideration when researching their financing options.
