Breast Augmentation Procedure
Breast augmentation surgery typically lasts one to two hours depending on the extent of the surgery. One of the most important operative decisions of breast augmentation is the forming of the implant pockets where your plastic surgeon will create space for your breast implants to be inserted. These pockets are the foundation for your new breasts and achieving proper structure requires a small release of the chest muscle.
After the incision is made, your breast implants will be inserted and this placement will determine the way the breasts will project themselves after your breast augmentation surgery. Placing the breast implant above the muscle (sub-glandular) can produce a more rounded, fuller look that many women choose even though it may not look as natural. Placing the implant underneath the chest wall muscle (sub-muscular) is more common and can achieve a natural, shaped look. After the implants have been inserted and positioned, the incisions will be stitched closed, taped, and bandaged. Within a few days, the bandages will be replaced with a surgical bra.
