Want to find out what a breast augmentation could do for your appearance?
Whether you are someone who is unhappy with the size of their breasts or you’ve recently lost a significant amount of weight and are looking to breathe new life into your body, a breast augmentation can be a great way to get the shapelier appearance you want and boost your self-esteem. If you’ve wanted a breast augmentation for a while now, it might be time to schedule a consultation with our Fairfax, VA, and Chevy Chase, MD, dermatologists Dr. Reza Mirali and Dr. Shahabadi at Plastic Surgery and Dermatology Associates.
What does breast augmentation involve?
Breast augmentation is designed to improve the fullness, balance and symmetry of your breasts to help you feel more confident in your appearance. Breast augmentation is usually performed under general anesthesia and the procedure takes about 1-2 hours.
What should I expect after getting breast augmentation?
When people think of cosmetic surgery they often worry about the extensive recovery time. While any surgery does come with some downtime getting breast implants actually offers a rather quick recovery. You may notice soreness for the next 2-3 weeks, but you may return to work after 3-5 days. Just remember, no physical exertion or lifting after your breast augmentation surgery until after our Fairfax, VA, and Chevy Chase, MD, dermatologists have given the okay. Stitches are typically removed about 5-10 days post-surgery.
What are the different kinds of breast implants?
There are two types of breast implants: saline and silicone. The kind you choose will depend on your personal needs and preferences. They both provide great results with different benefits. Silicone can sometimes look and feel more natural, while saline implants are usually less expensive and are surgically placed under the breast.
You also get to choose the size of your implants. Some patients are looking to get implants that improve the shape and size of their breasts but in a very natural way, while others are looking to truly enhance and fill out their bust size. Bring in photos and magazine clippings to show us what you want to achieve with breast implants and we will work with you to make sure you get the results you want.
The cosmetic surgeon you choose plays a vital role in the success of your breast augmentation. That’s why you want to turn to one that will listen to your needs and help you decide which treatment option is right for you.
