Breast Augmentation With Implants

During breast augmentation, Dr. Diaz ensures your comfort and safety by performing the procedure under general anesthesia. A numbing solution will also be applied to your breasts to ensure a pain-free experience while under anesthesia.

The surgery typically lasts 2 to 3 hours, depending on complexity, anatomy, and incision placement. Dr. Diaz creates a precise pocket for the implant, using a temporary sizer for adjustments to achieve symmetry and perfection. This meticulous process minimizes bleeding and maintains a clean pocket. Implants are placed using a no-touch technique to minimize any risks of contamination. Dr. Diaz performs precise closure techniques to ensure the best possible scar outcome.

Before undergoing breast augmentation with implants, it is important to consider a few key factors. Patients have varying goals, with some seeking a natural-looking result while others desire a more dramatic outcome. To ensure a personalized approach, Dr. Diaz encourages patients to bring along reference photos of breasts they find appealing. This will facilitate a detailed discussion during the consultation, allowing Dr. Diaz to better understand each patient’s aesthetic preferences and goals. Additionally, lifestyle, hobbies, and other activities play a role in the choice of implants, as various aspects of a patient’s life can influence the decision. Dr. Diaz emphasizes the importance of long-term considerations when it comes to breast implants. Based on a thorough examination and understanding of the patient’s anatomy and desires, Dr. Diaz develops a customized surgical plan. It is worth noting that Dr. Diaz is also well-versed in alternative breast augmentation procedures, such as the Breast Augmentation Fat Transfer technique, ensuring that patients have a comprehensive understanding of all available options before finalizing their surgical plan.

What If I have Loose Skin and Want a Breast Implant?

Breast Augmentation with a Lift is a cosmetic procedure that increases breast volume and roundness using implants. This procedure also involves elevating the breast by removing excess skin, reshaping it, and contouring the surrounding tissues. The combination of a breast lift with augmentation is a popular choice among women seeking to tighten, lift, and enhance their breast tissues, while also achieving increased volume and upper pole fullness.

Many women may experience deflation of the breasts or downward movement of the nipple and areola following pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss. To restore a youthful and firmer appearance to the breasts, a breast augmentation with lift, which can involve natural fat transfer or implants, is often recommended.

By providing a comprehensive solution, Dr. Diaz’s Breast Augmentation with Lift procedure can help women achieve their desired aesthetic goals, ensuring a rejuvenated and more confident appearance.

Dr. Diaz has developed a specialized technique for breast augmentation with implants, ensuring minimal pain and a quick recovery. Patients may experience tightness and mild soreness in the breast area, but typically find relief with over-the-counter pain medication like Tylenol. Swelling is expected initially, but should subside within a month, depending on the implant size. The complete settling of the implants and final shape may take about 4-6 months as the tissues adapt.

Patients are advised to limit arm movement for approximately 2 weeks and wear a supportive bra for 2 months following the surgery. Dr. Diaz will provide the necessary measurements and support garment. Many patients report feeling almost back to normal within a week after the procedure. Moderate exercise, such as walking or stationary biking, can be resumed after two weeks, while jogging or aerobics may be resumed in 4 weeks. Recovery times may vary, but most individuals can return to work within a few days, as long as strenuous activity is avoided for a couple of weeks.

It is important to note that breast augmentation scars may take up to 12 months to fade. Scar treatments will be initiated approximately 2 weeks after surgery, and Dr. Diaz will provide thorough instructions on scar care along with prescribed medications and products. Patients who have undergone breast augmentation often share their satisfaction, noting the ability to wear preferred clothing styles, abandon padded push-up bras, and overall happiness with the results achieved.
