Breast Augmentation in Lincoln

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to increase breast size and enhance breast shape. The procedure typically involves placing silicone or saline breast implants, with the ultimate goal of creating a more symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing breast profile.

Ideal Candidates for Breast Augmentation

• Non-smokers in generally good health
• Individuals aged 18-65+ with realistic expectations
• Patients who have lost breast volume due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging
• Those seeking to improve breast symmetry and proportion

Surgical Procedure and Recovery

Patients can expect approximately 5-10 days of downtime following breast augmentation. Jacobson Cosmetic Surgery recommends wearing a supportive non-underwire bra for the first 4-6 weeks to ensure proper healing and implant positioning.

Recovery Timeline and Expectations

During the initial recovery period, patients may experience soreness and will need to limit strenuous exercise for 2-4 weeks. For submuscular implant placements, patients should anticipate that implants may initially sit high on the chest, gradually settling into their optimal position over the first few months.

Implant Placement Considerations

Submuscular placement, typically preferred by Jacobson Cosmetic Surgery, involves positioning the implant underneath the pectoralis muscle. This approach can provide a more natural appearance and reduce potential complications.
