Breast Augmentation at Northland Plastic Surgery

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, often referred to as a "breast aug," is a surgical procedure that uses breast implants and fat transfer to increase breast size. This procedure is ideal for patients seeking to:

• Increase fullness and projection of breasts
• Improve balance between breast and hip contours
• Enhance self-image and self-confidence

The Breast Augmentation Procedure

As one of the most popular cosmetic surgeries in the United States, breast augmentation is typically performed as an outpatient procedure under general anesthesia. The surgery duration varies based on implant type, size, and individual anatomy. Incisions are strategically placed to minimize visible scarring.

Recovery and Results

Post-surgery, patients may experience some pain and discomfort, manageable with medication. Swelling and bruising typically subside after a few weeks. It's crucial to:

• Rest for the first few days after surgery
• Avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting
• Return to work after a few days, as advised
• Abstain from exercise for at least four weeks

Following all post-operative instructions is essential for a successful recovery and optimal results.
