Breast Augmentation San Antonio (Mammoplasty)

The FDA recently approved a new generation of silicone gel breast implants, so women over the age of 21 now have the choice between silicone and saline breast implants. The latest techniques in breast augmentation are utilized, including the choice of shape, size, or texture. These breast implant options allow Dr. Pittman-Waller to customize your surgery.

The Typical Breast Enlargement Patient

• Breasts that are small, uneven, or asymmetric
• Breasts that are slightly sagging or deflated
• Breasts that are out of proportion with the rest of the body
• Desire for a better fit in clothing or a more sensual body image

Breast Enlargement Procedure Information

• Local or general anesthesia can be used and the procedure typically takes about two hours
• Incisions can be placed either in the armpit, around the nipple or areolae, or in the lower breast crease
• The areolae usually enlarge in proportion to the increased breast size
• The space is made exactly in the right place and position to correspond to the size and shape of the breast implant
• A careful exam of the breast tissue is undertaken to make sure no abnormalities are present
• Temporary breast implant sizers are inserted in the space and inflated to the correct volume and adjustments are made, then the appropriate permanent implant is inserted
• The only dressing is a surgical bra
• No drains are necessary
• Breast enlargement can be combined with other plastic surgery procedures

Recovery from Breast Enlargement Plastic Surgery

• You can usually go home after several hours
• You can shower on the second day after surgery
• Expect moderate pain for about the first two days which is usually easily controlled by medications; most of the pain is gone by about the third day
• You may feel tired for about the first two days and weak for up to ten days
• Swelling is usually moderate for the first week, after which it rapidly disappears
• Breasts are high on the chest for the first three weeks, then settle into a very normal position and contour
