Dallas Breast Implants – What should you expect following your breast enhancement surgery? Some things will differ from one doctor to another.

One area of difference is recuperation time. Some doctors say several days. Dr. William P. Adams, who provides breast enlargement in Dallas, states the return time for “baseline activities of daily living” as about 24 hours with the use of “several specialized maneuvers to minimize post-operative pain.” A personal consultation with your plastic surgeon is the perfect time to get all the information you can about breast surgery, including more details about what your post-operative expectations should be.

As time and gravity team with experiences such as pregnancy and nursing, a woman’s breasts can begin to lose their shape, volume, and firmness. Sagging breasts can be addressed with breast lift surgery in Los Angeles, where plastic surgeon Dr. Marc Mani often performs breast lifts, or mastopexy, together with breast augmentation to increase firmness and size.

As with all plastic surgery, realistic expectations and emotional stability are important. Though breasts of any size can be lifted, women with smaller breasts enjoy longer lasting results. While a breast lift will not affect your ability to nurse because ducts are left intact, pregnancy can affect your breasts in such a way that breast lift surgery should be postponed if you are planning future pregnancy. A breast lift is not a simple procedure, though it is generally safe when performed by a qualified surgeon.

Breast augmentation more commonly known as a boob job, can be used to increase the size of small breasts, or in cases of lost breast volume or “droopiness” that occurs after breast-feeding or weight loss. Most implants used by Doctors are made of saline solution, so there is no danger if any leakage occurs. The implants used by many doctors are generally smooth because textured implants can cause rippling of the skin. To provide an ideal result, this procedure can be combined with a breast lift in some patients with significant “drooping”.

Nipple sensation and breast-feeding are usually not effected by augmentation. The most common side effect is the formation of a “capsule” of scar tissue around the implant, which makes the implant feel hard. Many doctors minimize this by placing the implant under the muscle, as well as by using meticulous techniques to limit bleeding and the chance of infection. Incisions are hidden in the armpit or under the nipple.
