Safe Breast Augmentation

Essential Information for Making the Best Decision

Making a safe decision about breast augmentation requires focusing on important information to help you make the right choice. Whether breast augmentation is suitable for you is a personal decision.

This decision not only involves improving your appearance but also reflects how you perceive yourself. If you decide to enhance your breast shape through surgery, learning more about the methods and options will ensure the safety of the procedure.

Are Breast Implants Safe to Be Placed in the Body?

Yes. The breast implants chosen by Dr. D&D for clients are safe and FDA-approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. In fact, hundreds of clients choose breast implants each year and report no side effects. However, like any medical device, breast implants carry risks in a very small number of cases. In the event of any complications, you can visit D&D’s cosmetic surgeon at any time.

Consultation and Pre-Surgery Examination

Before the surgery, you should have a thorough consultation and examination with the doctor. During this session, you will receive comprehensive information about the type of implant to be placed and the positioning of the implant, depending on the type, size, and shape of your body—whether placed under the chest muscle or directly behind the breast tissue.

After the surgery, you will immediately see the results in your breast size, and the stitches will heal, and the scars will fade over time.

Safe Breast Augmentation

Where is the Surgery Performed?

Dr. D&D will perform the breast augmentation surgery at the hospital's operating room, which meets sterile standards and is equipped with anesthesia, resuscitation facilities, and fully equipped postoperative care rooms. In some cases, the doctor may recommend an overnight stay at the hospital.

How Long Does the Surgery Take?

On average, breast augmentation surgery lasts about 1 hour, but each case varies depending on the patient and the surgeon's technique.

When Can I Return to Daily Activities?

Recovery after surgery varies for each individual, but most women can return to work within a few days. It is important to avoid strenuous activities or heavy lifting for a few weeks after surgery. Additionally, wearing a shaping bra for 8 weeks is recommended to achieve the desired breast shape.

How Long Before Implants Need to Be Replaced?

Typically, breast implants need to be replaced after about 8-10 years. However, saline or silicone implants can last from 10-20 years. Replacement depends on factors such as complications or aesthetic concerns.

Here are some signs to watch for indicating that implants may need replacement:

• Scar tissue around the implant contracts, causing deformity or hard scar tissue.
• The implant leaks or ruptures.
• Silicone implant rupture, leading to thick silicone gel remaining inside or around the scar tissue.
• The implant shifts, creating asymmetry between the breasts.

Can Breast Implants Be Placed After Giving Birth?

Yes, breast implants can be placed after giving birth. However, it is advisable to wait at least 6 months after stopping breastfeeding to allow the breasts to reach their final size before deciding to get implants. This helps avoid the impact of breastfeeding on the size and shape of the chest, ensuring the best surgical outcome.
