Breast Augmentation (mammaplasty) usually is done to enlarge small, underdeveloped breasts or breasts that have become smaller in size after childbearing. Patients with marked sagging of the breasts can be recommended a breast surgery procedure to reshape and lift the breasts by a board certified plastic surgeon. Mammaplasty is performed under an intravenous, local, or general anesthetic depending upon the plastic surgery technique and your preference of anesthesia . This is to be chosen by you and your cosmetic surgeon in the pre-surgery consultation. One of the most important steps in receiving any plastic surgery procedure is the consultation. You and your plastic surgeon will talk about your breast size and what you expect your breast size to be following the surgery in the consultation. Your surgeon will also tell you what he or she thinks should be done, and often your cosmetic surgeon will show you a digital image of how you could look following your surgery. In the fold under the breast, around the bottom half of the areola, or in the underarm area, a small incision about two inches in length is made. Next, the cosmetic surgeon makes a pocket underneath the chest wall muscle, or directly under the breast tissue depending on the surgeon's technique and the patient's anatomy. Then a breast prosthesis or implant is inserted into this pocket. A membrane of scar tissue around the device forms as your body heals to hold it in place. Many sutures are needed to close the incisions. The procedure can take anywhere from one to two hours. During consultation with your plastic surgeon, any concerns about the safety and current status of breast implants and questions about the technique and the type of breast implant to be used, will be discussed. Following breast enlargement surgery, an elastic bandage and dressing is used for about a week. Within a day you can be up and about, but you should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous activity for approximately four to six weeks. Your breasts may be discolored or swollen after the operation. Within a few weeks bruising will disappear and swelling will also disappear after a few months. You also might notice some firmness in the breasts for a few weeks following breast enlargement surgery. This, too, should diminish with time. An extra surgery may be needed to soften firm breasts caused by excessively tight scar formation, a procedure called capsular contracture.
