They are appropriate for the women who lack natural feel of the breasts.

Surgery Procedure

In first step, the surgeon places augmentation device in the breast to enhance size of the implant tissue and then permanent breast implant is placed inside the expanded tissue for enhanced shape and size of the breast. Guide to Breast Implants has narrowed down the two step procedure as under

Step 1

The first step of breast implants includes placement of breast tissue expander inside the breast to achieve the desired breast augmentation size and shape. Surgeon makes incision inside the breast from the nipple area and places the tissue expander device inside the breast.  Expander has tiny valve that is used to fill the tissue expander gradually with saline water and it takes from weeks to month to expand the breast tissue using the tissue expander. During this procedure, you will be required to visit the surgeon on weekly or bi-weekly basis and after the breasts have reached the certain size, you will be called for breast implant procedure.

Step 2

After your breasts tissues have reached the required expansion size, the surgeon will perform the breast implant procedure by removing the tissue expander and by placing the saline or silicone implants inside the body. The surgery will take time and after surgery you will be kept in ICU for some hours and in general unit for some days then you will be advised post procedural care and allowed to go home.

Home care

After you’ve reached home, you will not be allowed to move from your bed for two days and only small moments in the bed will be allowed. After first examination that is generally four-seven days of surgery, you will be allowed to move in the house but showers and other activities will not be allowed for over one week. Weekly examinations will be done and surgeon will guide you on care from time to time but generally you won’t be allowed to lift weight or run or perform exercises for over three weeks. Proper diet plan will be advised along with proper prescription so that you can recover without any long or short term side effects. The total time from surgery to recovery is considered to be forty days but surgeon will give the final verdict.
