What are the different types of breast implants available?

There are two main types of breast implants: silicone and saline. Silicone implants are filled with a cohesive gel that mimics natural breast tissue, while saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater. Both types have their own advantages and considerations.

How do I choose the right implant size?

Choosing the right implant size involves considering your body proportions, aesthetic goals, and lifestyle. Our surgeons will help guide you through this decision during your consultation, using tools such as 3D imaging and implant sizers.

What is the recovery process like after breast augmentation?

Recovery involves several weeks of limited activity, wearing support garments, and attending follow-up appointments. Most patients can return to normal activities within a week, but full recovery can take several weeks.

Are there any non-surgical alternatives to breast augmentation?

While there are no non-surgical alternatives that provide the same results as breast augmentation, options such as fat transfer breast augmentation can offer a more natural enhancement using your own body fat.

How long do breast implants last?

Breast implants are not lifetime devices. They typically last 10-20 years, but many factors can influence their longevity. Regular check-ups with your surgeon are essential to monitor the condition of your implants.

Can I breastfeed after breast augmentation?

Many women can successfully breastfeed after breast augmentation, but this can depend on the type of surgery and implant placement. Discuss your plans for breastfeeding with your surgeon during your consultation.

What are the risks of implant rupture?

While implant rupture is rare, it can occur. Silicone implant ruptures are often silent and detected through MRI, while saline implant ruptures cause noticeable deflation. Regular monitoring and check-ups can help detect and address ruptures promptly.

Will breast augmentation affect mammograms?

Breast implants can make mammograms slightly more challenging, but specialized techniques and additional views can help ensure accurate screening. Always inform your radiologist if you have implants.

How soon can I exercise after breast augmentation?

Light activities can typically be resumed within a week, but strenuous exercise should be avoided for at least 6-8 weeks. Always get approval from your surgeon before resuming your exercise routine.

What should I do if I experience complications after surgery?

If you experience severe pain, signs of infection, or any unusual symptoms, contact your surgeon immediately. Prompt medical attention is crucial for addressing any complications.
