What is breast enlargement surgery?
Breast enlargement surgery adds fullness and volume to the breast by placing a customized implant in a pocket created in the breast tissue. Your surgeon will help you decide what size, shape, and fill option will best meet your personal goals and what will work best with your body shape and size. Implants can be round or teardrop shaped and filled with either saline or silicone.
The procedure includes a small incision in either the armpit or in the dark skin around the nipples to minimize the appearance of scarring. The size of the incision depends on the type and size of implant selected.
Once the incision has been made, the implant is inserted into a small pocket created under existing tissue. This pocket will heal and hold the implant in place.
There may be bruising and tenderness post-procedure, but recovery time is normally a couple of weeks. Results are immediately visible and continue to improve as initial swelling and bruising goes away.
The decision to undergo the procedure can help you feel more like yourself and should be discussed with an experienced professional. To get breast enlargement in Richmond VA, visit a skilled plastic surgeon like Dr. Kitto, Board Certified Plastic Surgeon.
