Breast Augmentation
Mammoplasty in Saint Clair Shores
Breast augmentation, also known as mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure designed to enhance the size and shape of the breasts for a fuller, more balanced appearance. It is an excellent option for individuals looking to restore lost volume due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging, as well as for those who have undergone breast reconstruction and want a more natural look. While augmentation increases breast size, it does not correct sagging or reposition the breasts. This procedure can help improve confidence and achieve a more proportionate silhouette.
Reasons for Considering Breast Augmentation in Michigan:
General procedure
Breast enhancement surgery involves making a small incision to insert an implant, increasing breast size for a fuller look. Performed under general anesthesia at a hospital or surgical center, this outpatient procedure offers multiple incision options. The most common placement is beneath the breast, but incisions can also be made in the armpit or around the areola. During surgery, the chest tissue is carefully lifted to create a pocket for the implant, which can be filled with saline or silicone gel. The procedure typically takes about an hour, and implant selection is personalized during a consultation with Dr. Rodriguez.
Recovery Process
After surgery, patients should rest and limit movement to promote healing. A surgical bra is required for a few weeks, and any minor discomfort can be managed with oral medication. Most patients return to work within a week. While complications are rare, following Dr. Daniela Rodriguez’s post-operative instructions carefully helps ensure a smooth recovery.
