Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Breast Augmentation.

During the consultation we assess anatomy, discuss goals, implant options, incision placement, and surgical plan. Expect measurements, photographic documentation, risk discussion, and personalized recommendations. Bring questions; we prioritize informed consent and realistic expectations before scheduling an operation.

Most patients return to light activities within one week and work within one to two weeks, depending on job demands. Complete healing and settling of implants takes several months. Follow-up visits and activity restrictions ensure safe recovery and optimal results.

Many patients can breastfeed after augmentation, especially with implants placed under the muscle and incisions away from the areola. However, individual factors matter. Discuss your breastfeeding goals during consultation so surgeons can choose techniques that best preserve lactation potential.

Choice depends on desired look, tissue characteristics, and feel preferences. Silicone often provides a more natural texture while saline allows adjustable volume and smaller incisions. Our surgeons review pros, risks, and long-term considerations, then customize recommendations to match your body and goals.

Risks include infection, bleeding, scarring, implant rupture or leakage, capsular contracture, asymmetry, and changes in nipple sensation. Careful patient selection, surgical technique, and follow-up reduce risks. We provide detailed preoperative counseling and immediate support if complications arise.

Implants are not lifetime devices; many last 10-20 years but individual results vary. Regular monitoring and imaging help detect issues early. Replacement may be needed for cosmetic changes, rupture, or personal preferences. We discuss realistic timelines and maintenance during consultation.
