What is Breast Augmentation? What conditions may be treated?
Breast Augmentation creates a natural appearance of fuller breasts in both standing and supine positions.
Depending on individual, implant may be inserted via one of the following approaches: nipple, endoscopic, arm pit, below-the-breast, or belly-button incision. Soft saline or silicone anatomical are placed under the breast tissues to enhance the size and shape of the natural breasts.
The procedure takes one to two hours. Procedure usually requires general anesthesia.
EndoBreastSM, a novel breast augmentation technique, uses more hidden endoscopic incision to places the breast implants. The procedure affords greater symmetry, accuracy, more natural feel, and faster recovery. This procedure may also be performed under local anesthesia, allowing greater customized individualization.
When and What Results Might Be Expected? How long does the results last?
Immediate and dramatic improvement of breast shape and size are expected to last decades.
What is the recovery like? When can I return to work and activities?
Recovery usually takes one week. Moderate swelling and bruising are expected. Use of prescribed pain medicine may be necessary. Most patients return to work and regular activities either immediately or within one week.
Any treatments to help maintain or enhance my results?
Significant changes require further surgical shaping.
