How to choose a plastic surgeon
It is a big decision to choose a breast enlargement surgeon. There are many factors to consider including the surgeon’s education, experience, and personal manner. Referring to others who have had surgery is an excellent way to select the right surgeon.
Reviews from patients and before-and after photos are great starting points. Make sure you only hire surgeons that have a proven track record of delivering quality results. Surgical before and after pictures can provide a good indication of the surgeon's skill and experience. These pictures will also help you to decide if a surgeon's skills and experience are right for you.
Preparing for surgery
One of the most important things to remember when preparing for breast enhancing surgery is to stay healthy. It is important to avoid people who are sick and to make sure that you have time off work prior to the surgery. If you have young children, ensure that someone is available to look after them while you are away. Two weeks should be spent avoiding strenuous exercise. The breasts will be tender following surgery. Too much movement may cause pain.
It is a good practice to prepare a healthy breakfast before going under the needle. You should ensure that you only buy food you are able to prepare. Also, you may want to purchase foods that are durable yet easy to make. You should bring all medications. You should also arrive at the surgery facility at least two hours early to check in. You should also wear loose fitting clothes that don't restrict your arm movements. A button-front shirt is a great idea.
Complications
One in five women who have breast enlargements experience post-operative infection. These symptoms can include swelling, pain, redness, swelling, high fever, and sometimes redness. Talking to your surgeon about the options for treatment is important. While antibiotics can help clear infection, if it continues to be severe, the surgeon will likely perform surgery to remove infected tissues. The surgeon may need to remove the implant and the tissue expander in severe cases.
From the 450 surgeries performed after initial implantation, 91 were staged procedures planned while 164 were performed for medical reasons. 321 women reported at least one complication. A total of 178 women experienced at least 1 complication and 274 breasts had at most one implant. Women who had breast cancer surgery prophylactically or after a mastectomy experienced a significantly lower rate of complications.
Recovery
The recovery from breast enhancing surgery is an important part of the procedure. The procedure is not considered life-threatening but can be painful. After the surgery, swelling, bruising, and pain will subside. To speed up healing, the body will release anti-inflammatory substances. Patients should avoid lifting heavy objects and strenuous activity while recovering. Most patients can return to their daily routine within a few weeks.
Pain medication will be prescribed to patients. They can also use over-the-counter pain relief to reduce the discomfort. The patient should avoid high-impact activity for two to five weeks after the surgery.
