What Does Breast Augmentation Involve?

breast augmentation

You have been considering breast augmentation in the New Orleans area. You want to increase the size of your bust. You aren’t happy with the way you look now, and padded bras aren’t satisfying for you. You want a curvier figure that is permanent, not created by the illusion of what you wear. Whether your breasts have always been on the small side or they have changed over time, you think they need some extra help. Before you choose to have any type of surgery, you should be prepared for what lies ahead for you.

What are the Steps in a Breast Augmentation Procedure?

The first step is a consultation, which involves figuring out what cup size you want to be. Our plastic surgeon can show you photo galleries of other patients to get an idea of what cup size is most desirable for you. You can also try an insert in your bra so you can personally see how your breast enhancement will change your bust. You will make many of the important decisions about your procedure, such as what type of implant you want and where your implants will be inserted.

Breast augmentation is an outpatient procedure. The exact details of each procedure vary based on a number of factors, as each procedure is customized for the patient.

You Will Need to Allow Your Body to Recover

Giving your breasts time to heal is crucial. When you go home, you should rest. You can take over-the-counter medication. You may have a prescription from our surgeon for something stronger. You’ll want to sleep on your back and make sure your upper body is slightly elevated. Avoid any lifting. Don’t put strain on your treatment area. When light activity is allowed, walking is a good place to start. As you heal, you’ll be able to start to enjoy the results of breast augmentation surgery.

Learn More About Breast Augmentation from Our Plastic Surgeon

You can do your own research before plastic surgery, but you should turn to our plastic surgeon at Metairie Plastic Surgeons when you want to learn all of the important details. Begin with your consultation at our office in Metairie. Our surgeon will evaluate your bust and make sure you are a good candidate for the procedure before there is any further discussion. Contact us today to book your appointment and get started. We look forward to hearing from you!
