Breast Implant

Good candidates for breast implant surgery include:

• Individuals in good physical health with no active infections or untreated cancer.
• Those with realistic expectations about the outcomes of the surgery.
• Adults whose breasts are fully developed.
• People who are dissatisfied with the size or shape of their breasts, whether due to genetics, weight loss, aging, or other factors.
• Individuals who may want to restore breast volume lost after pregnancy or significant weight loss.

Preparation for breast implant surgery includes several steps:

• Medical Evaluation: A thorough medical history and physical examination are necessary.
• Medications: Certain medications and supplements that can increase bleeding should be avoided. Your surgeon will provide a specific list.
• Smoking: Smoking should be stopped well in advance of surgery as it can interfere with the healing process.
• Arrangements: Plan for someone to drive you home after surgery and stay with you for at least the first night.
• Home Preparation: Set up a comfortable recovery area at home with necessary supplies within easy reach.

The breast implant procedure typically involves:

1. Anesthesia: The surgery is performed under general anesthesia or intravenous sedation for comfort.
2. Incisions: Incisions can be made in inconspicuous areas to minimize visible scarring. Options include inframammary (under the breast), periareolar (around the nipple), or transaxillary (in the armpit).
3. Insertion and Placement: The implant is inserted into a pocket either under the pectoral muscle (submuscular) or directly behind the breast tissue (subglandular).
4. Closure of Incisions: Incisions are closed with layered sutures in the breast tissue and with sutures, skin adhesive, or surgical tape to close the skin.

Recovery typically involves:

• Immediate Post-Op: You will be monitored in a recovery area after surgery. Most patients can go home the same day.
• First Few Days: You may experience discomfort and swelling for a few weeks. Pain and swelling can be managed with prescribed medications.
• Activity Restrictions: Srenous exercise should be limited for a few weeks. Most patients can return to work within a week, depending on the nature of their job.
• Follow-Up Visits: Regular follow-up visits with your surgeon to monitor your progress and address any concerns.

While breast implant surgery is generally safe, it carries certain risks and potential complications, including:

• Infection
• Bleeding
• Changes in nipple or breast sensation
• Capsular contracture (scar tissue that forms around the implant and squeezes it)
• Anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL), a rare cancer associated with breast implants

Breast implants are not lifetime devices. On average, they last between 10 to 20 years, but many are removed sooner due to complications or cosmetic reasons. Regular follow-up with your surgeon is essential to monitor the condition of your implants. Factors such as rupture, capsular contracture, and personal preference may necessitate replacement or removal of the implants.
