The surgeon has to make an incision under your breasts, the edge of the areola or in the armpit. The surgeon will adjust the implant to your desired position. Once it is well positioned, the area is stitched. The implant is either placed under the chest muscle or the breast tissue. Breast enlargement surgery can help to lift sagging breasts. You do not have to stay in the hospital after undergoing surgery. You will be given medicine to put you to sleep during the breast surgery.

After surgery

After the surgery, your breast will be supported using a special bra or wrapped using a plastic bandage. It can take a maximum of 10 days for the stitches to be removed. Your breasts may have bruises, swelling, and even soreness after the surgery. The bruises and swelling can take several weeks to heal. However, you can go back to your normal activities in a matter of days. You only have to make sure not to lift heavy things or strenuous exercises. After undergoing breast enlargement surgery, you will have scars. However, the scars will not be visible since they will be under the armpits or the areola.

How effective is breast enlargement surgery?

gghghghghhghghghhhgThere are certain risks associated with breast enlargement surgery. The first one is the capsular contracture which occurs when the scar tissue starts to harden and squeezes the implant. The second risk is the inability to feel the nipples, abnormal scarring, infection, and hematoma. The risks are always higher if you undergo several surgeries at once, like having a breast enlargement and breast lift.
