Choosing a Type of Breast Implant

Dr. Kane performs breast enhancement using saline or silicone gel implants. During your appointment, Dr. Kane and Lauri will review both of those implants and give you time to decide which is suited for you. Additionally, patients will be able to go over pictures of other women who underwent the same procedure. This will give patients realistic expectations for their results. Patients even have the opportunity to touch, feel, and “try on” the implants.

Breast Enhancement Surgery

There are different methods for placing the breast implant during breast enhancement surgery. Most commonly, Dr. Kane places the implants under the breast muscle. He will start by making one of several types of incision and placement will differ for each patient. Then, Dr. Kane will make a pocket under the muscle to fit the implant into. Dr. Kane feels that this approach provides patients with the best appearance after surgery. In addition, the placement hides the edge of the implants and allows for a smooth look. Once the implants are in place, Dr. Kane will stitch the incisions with small sutures. Dr. Kane also closes the outer-most layer with special medical grade skin glue so patients do not have to have the stitches removed.

Will There Be a Scar After Breast Augmentation?

Whenever possible, Dr. Kane chooses to make surgical incisions along the bottom edge of the patient’s areolas, where post-surgical scars will be nearly invisible. Other possibilities include under the breast along the crease and in the armpit.

Breast Augmentation Recovery

When patients have their implants placed under the muscle the recovery is generally more discomfort. Therefore, the recovery period is typically two weeks long. Patients will experience breast sensitivity, soreness, swelling, and sometimes temporary changes to nipple sensation during this time. To relieve these symptoms for the first 24 hours Dr. Kane injects pain relieving medication into the chest muscles during surgery.

Patients with a less active or strenuous job can typically return within 6-7 days of surgery. For those that are more active or are mothers that need to lift children, Dr. Kane recommends waiting 2 weeks before returning to work. All patients need to refrain from lifting anything more than 10 pounds for at least 2-3 weeks. Within a week to ten days, most women feel they can resume many of their normal activities.
