Breast Augmentation FAQ / SurgeryQ: Will the surgery hurt a lot? How long will it take to recover?A: You will be in pain after the operation, since it is an invasive open procedure. Your body will not feel comfortable for a time until it can acclimate to the implants. Basic recovery will take a few days and full healing should take a few months. You will feel much better after 3 or 4 days. Q: What is the best method of implant placement? A: Periareolar and inframammary are the most common and popular methods, since they are the easiest to perform. We often recommend the transaxillary approach for silicone implants and the transumbilical method for saline implants, since these approaches do not cut into the actual breast at all. Q: What should I do about
breast scarring? Breast Augmentation FAQ / ImplantsQ: Should I get saline breast implants or silicone breast implants?A: If you have decided on transumbilical placement, then you need to go with saline. If you are worried about the safety of silicone, then you also should consider saline. If you want maximum durability and realism, then you should consider cohesive silicone gel implants. Q: How big should my implants be? A: This is a very common question, but the answer differs for every woman. It depends on how big YOU want to be after surgery. Remember that an implant will look about 30% smaller once inside the body and even more if placed under the muscle. Keep this in mind when you try on implants in your bra. Statistically, the most common complaint women report is that they should have gone larger. Q: How long will my breast implants last? A: Some implants can last decades in perfect condition, while others may need to be replaced several times during a lifetime. There are many individual criteria which may determine how long your implants will last, but always be prepared to replace them one or more times in the future.
