Breast Augmentation

Many women seek out this popular procedure because they see a disproportion between their chest/breast size and frame. Others have a shape that is not as sensual as they desire. And then there are also the effects of having children and time itself, where previous assets may have “been lost”. Creating a better shape, enhanced fullness and a beautiful, natural look is the goal. Enhanced confidence, self esteem and feeling great are the added benefits!

 

The Consultation

You will have a private, in-depth consultation with Dr. Back where he will review with you everything you want and need to know. After an examination, together you will discuss your goals and his recommendations. All the details of the procedure will be reviewed and you will also have ample time for questions. Typical “before & after” photos as examples are on hand as a part of this process.

 

The Procedure

Dr. Back prefers to perform a “behind the muscle” breast augmentation utilizing various types of both saline and silicone implants. This choice is decided upon preoperatively. This outpatient procedure (typically 1-2 hours) is best done utilizing a combination of both general and local anesthesia. Dr. Back uses a small incision hidden within the natural crease under the breast. Absorbable sutures are used, so no stitch removal will be necessary! Only a bra and some minor restrictions postoperatively are needed.

 

The Recovery

Before your surgery, we provide you with detailed instructions, including all the “Do’s & Don’ts”, to help guide you through your recovery. It is very common to have swelling, bruising and pain for the first few days after a breast augmentation. Dr. Back will prescribe pain pills that should help you through this process. Other than some general restrictions for one month, most patients will feel comfortable resuming typical daily types of activities in about a week. Most patients will be able to shower the next day after surgery.
