Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation, or breast implants, to increase fullness and projection of the breasts improves the balance in a woman’s figure and can enhance her self-image and self-confidence. Breast size is important to many women. Some individuals feel that small breasts not only limit their fashion choices but can also cause dissatisfaction with body image.

Breast augmentation enlarges a woman’s breasts through the surgical placement of breast implants. In general, it is a cosmetic procedure strictly performed to fulfill your personal desire for fuller breasts or to restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy. Breast implants may also be used for reconstructive purposes to restore a breast that is lost due to mastectomy, injury or for other reasons. In cases where a woman desires to enhance breast fullness and at the same time improve the position and shape of sagging breasts, a breast lift may be performed in conjunction with breast augmentation. Breast implants allow women the choice of fuller, natural appearing breasts, and a more balanced figure.

Following Surgery

Once your procedure is completed, dressing or bandages may be applied to your incisions, and an elastic bandage or support bra will minimize swelling and support the breasts as they heal. Before being released, you and an accompanying family member, friend or caregiver will be given specific instructions that may include:

• How to care for the breasts following surgery
• Medications to apply or take orally to aid healing and reduce the potential risk of infection
• Specific changes at the surgical site or in overall health
• When to follow up with Dr. Sena.

Results and Outlook

The results of breast augmentation are immediately visible. Final results appear gradually over the next few weeks as swelling resolves and breast size and shape settles. Incision lines typically will continue to fade over the next year. Over time, your breasts can change due to aging, weight fluctuations, hormonal factors, and gravity. However, your new enhanced breast contour and the freedom to wear the clothes you enjoy without the need for padded bras should bring you added self-confidence whether at the beach or in the boardroom.
