How is Breast Augmentation Performed?

Every breast augmentation is entirely unique, as it is customized to the patient’s needs. Most breast augmentations are performed under general anesthesia. During your procedure, Dr. Clavijo-Alvarez will make the incisions in the most inconspicuous areas possible. Incisions could be placed under the breast, under the armpit or around the areola.

Once the incision has been made, Dr. Clavijo-Alvarez will insert your chosen implants. Exact placement will be discussed during your consultation to ensure your implants will address your goals. Finally, the incisions will be closed so the healing process can begin.

What is Recovery Like After Breast Augmentation Surgery?

After your breast augmentation, you can expect some swelling, tightness and pressure in the chest area. The implants will naturally settle as the tissue of the chest becomes acquainted with your new implants. Although each patient’s experience is different, most take at least a week off work or school to allow proper time for rest and healing.

How Long Will My Results Last?

Your results are designed to last for many years. However, you may schedule yearly follow-up exams to ensure your continued satisfaction and discuss any potential concerns.
