| Pre-operative tests |
Clinical and radiological (x ray) tests
of the breasts are requisite. Biology: usual pre-operative
tests. |
| Procedure (for breast augmentation) |
A small incision is made and the prosthesis
is inserted between the gland and the breast plate and in some
cases (delicate skin and no gland) slithered under the pectoral
muscle. The prosthesis used is a variety of high-grade silicone
gels or saline filled implants. (Available to see when consulting
your surgeon). |
| Length |
One hour, for breast augmentation (with
prothesis ).
Two hours for breast reduction and lift. |
| Post surgery |
At some point in the first 24 to 48 hours,
you will experience swelling, bruising, numbness, discomfort
and temporary soreness in the chest area but with a degree of
subtlety still. During the first 15 days, you will feel temporary
pain whenever you tend to move your arms as your breast will
be still fragile and sore. You will need 3 months at least to
be accustomed to the presence of the implant and be able to
resume to normal activities such as exercising, breast feeding
and pregnancy. Clinical and X ray tests of the breast need to
be sustained annually. Unlike what you hear at times, flying
and diving do not have any effects on the surgery. |
| Results |
Breasts are supple and naturally looking.
The natural sensitivity to stimulation of breasts are preserved.
You may need to change the implant after a certain period, usually
10 years. |
