What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast implants may give women with small or unevenly sized breasts a fuller, firmer, better proportioned, more natural look that is one or more cup sizes larger. Breast augmentation (also known as breast enlargement surgery) can also balance breast size and compensate for reduced breast mass after pregnancy, weight loss, breast cancer surgery, or even to correct a congenital breast defect. Most importantly, breast enlargements can enable a woman to have more self-confidence.

The SF | Bay Area Plastic Surgery Difference

Once you have booked your breast augmentation surgery, Dr. Fazilat’s office will coordinate the location and time of your breast augmentation surgery. You will receive a pre-operative appointment, which is typically two weeks before your surgery. During this appointment, you will be given instructions for your procedure, as well as any medical request forms for necessary blood work or related medical tests. Dr. Fazilat will also take any pre-operative photos and review your planned procedure(s), so you can ask any final questions. Our office will contact you by phone or by email to review your instructions and your health history. Breast augmentation surgery is one of the most common procedures that Dr. Fazilat performs in his practice. Typically, operations are performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia with a certified anesthesiologist; surgical times are 1 to 1.5 hours. Some of Dr. Fazilat’s patients also have their surgery combined with other procedures, such as a breast lift, a tummy tuck or laser liposuction for more satisfying results overall.

Recovering From Breast Augmentation at SF | Bay Area Plastic Surgery

After breast augmentation surgery, it is typical for our patients to feel tired and sore; however, this soreness usually passes in a day or two with many patients returning to work within a week, though strenuous activity should be avoided for up to four weeks. The patient should also have an adult stay with them for 24 hours following the surgery to monitor their recovery.

Stitches are removed a week to 10 days after breast enhancement surgery. Any post-operative pain, swelling, and/or sensitivity will commonly diminish over the first few weeks. Finally, scars from breast augmentation incisions begin to fade in a few months and continue to fade for months or years to come.

Dr. Fazilat will schedule a follow-up post-recovery office visit to discuss your progress.
