If you are not satisfied with the size and appearance of your breasts, a breast augmentation can be the solution to restore your self-confidence. Also known as ‘breast enlargement,’ it is a surgical procedure that involves the insertion of implants to correct asymmetry or increase the size of your breasts. Since it is a surgical procedure, you need to make sure that it will be conducted only by a board certified and experienced cosmetic surgeon. Here are a few facts you should know about breast enlargement surgery:
- Not
just for women with small breasts – Breast
enlargement is typically perceived as a procedure for women who want to
increase their cup size, but it can also be conducted to restore the shape
or volume that may have been lost due to breast feeding, pregnancy, or
ageing.
- You
need to be anaesthetised for the surgery – General
anaesthesia is used, so you will be completely asleep during the entire
procedure (which usually takes about an hour). Breast enlargement surgery
is usually done as an outpatient procedure, but some cases may require an
overnight stay at the hospital.
- Expect swelling and bruising after the procedure – Breast enlargement surgery will leave you bruised and sore, and you should expect some swelling, pain, and discomfort, which should last from three to seven days. However, your surgeon should be able to give you tips for managing the symptoms and prescribe painkillers and antibiotics.
- Recovery could take up to three months – Tape will be used to cover your wounds after the surgery, and you should not touch it for three weeks. You may need to wear a supportive bra all the time for the first three months, too. Scars may occur, but they should gradually fade, or the surgeon will provide anti-scar treatment to help with the healing. During recovery, you are advised not to lift heavy objects or do strenuous exercises for six weeks.
