There are many different reasons why women in the Fayetteville, GA, area may choose a breast implant procedure. Also known as breast augmentation, implants can add shape, fullness, or symmetry to the breasts while also assisting women in feeling more confident about their bodies.
There are several different breast implant options to consider. Our board-certified plastic surgeons work closely with our patients to help determine the correct implant for the desired result. The two most common options are saline-filled breast implants and silicone gel breast implants, both of which provide women with exceptional, natural, and safe options for breast implants. Most breast implants will need to be removed and replaced about every ten to twenty years, depending on the woman and the specific type of implant.
To talk to an Advanced Aesthetics surgeon about breast implants, call us for a consultation.
The procedure is completed under general anesthesia. The surgeon will insert implants under the breast tissue during breast implant surgery. However, breast augmentation surgery can also result in using fat from other parts of the body to shape and enhance the breasts. The type and placement of the incisions in the process are determined by the size and type of the implant.
It will be essential to follow all post-op recommendations, and you may have to take pain medications for the first 72 hours.
Most women find the pain manageable with over-the-counter medications and return to non-physically active work within a week. It is important not to exercise or exert yourself for up to six weeks or more based on your follow-up appointments.
