Breast augmentation - Cesmedic Plastic

Breast augmentation, technically known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to enhance the size and shape of a woman's breast for a number of reasons: to enhance the body contour of a woman who, for personal reasons, feels her breast size is too small; to correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy; to balance a difference in breast size; as a reconstructive technique following breast surgery.
By inserting an implant behind each breast, the surgeon are able to increase a woman's bustline by one or more bra cup sizes.

Types of anesthesia
Breast augmentation can be performed with a local anesthesia and sedation, so you'll sleep through the entire operation.

The surgery
The surgery usually takes one to two hours to complete.
The method of inserting and positioning your implant will depend on your anatomy and the surgeon's recommendation. The incision can be made either in the crease where the breast meets the chest, around the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple), or in the armpit. Every effort will be made to assure that the incision is placed so resulting scars will be as inconspicuous as possible.
Working through the incision, the surgeon will lift your breast tissue and skin to create a pocket, either directly behind the breast tissue or underneath your chest wall muscle (the pectoral muscle). The implants are then centered beneath your nipples.
Stitches are used to close the incisions, which may also be taped for greater support. A gauze bandage may be applied over your breasts to help with healing.

Post-operative
A relative rest is recommended. You should not lift weight. You can use the computer and write. You will take analgesic, anti-inflammatory and antibiotics if it is necessary. The inflammation and the bruises go disappearing slowly.
By the end of the month you can normalize your activities.
