Breast augmentation surgically enhances the size and shape of a woman's breasts. This procedure may be done for a number of reasons:
To enhance the body contour of a woman who feels her breast size is too small
To correct a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy
To balance a difference in breast size
Who's a Candidate?
Women who are looking for improvement, not perfection, in the way they look are good candidates. You should be physically healthy and realistic in your expectations.
After Your Surgery
While you're likely to feel tired and sore for a few days after your surgery, you should be up and around within 48 hours. Most of your discomfort can be controlled by doctor-prescribed pain medication. Within several days, the bandages will be removed, and you may be given a surgical bra. You may experience a burning sensation in your nipples for about two weeks, which will subside as the bruising fades. Stitches should come out in a week to 10 days, but it may take several months for the swelling in your breasts to disappear.
