Breast Augmentation in Minot, NY | Paulson Rick Dr

Understanding Breast Augmentation

Feeling good about your appearance can dramatically impact your confidence and quality of life. Breast augmentation offers women an opportunity to enhance their physical profile and self-image through personalized surgical techniques.

Procedure Overview

Breast augmentation surgery involves using breast implants to increase breast size and improve contour. Dr. Paulson specializes in precise placement techniques, preferring an incision in the fold under the breast and recommending under-the-muscle implant placement.

Key Benefits

• Increase breast fullness and projection
• Improve overall body proportions
• Enhance self-confidence and body image
• Balance breast symmetry

Surgical Details

The procedure is performed as a same-day surgery under general anesthesia. Patients can typically return to work within 5-7 days, with full recovery expected around 6 weeks.

Recovery Expectations

• Lifting restrictions: 5 lbs for first 3 weeks, 30 lbs for weeks 4-6
• Dissolvable sutures used
• Swelling and bruising decrease within the first month
• Scars continue to fade up to 2 years post-surgery

Post-Operative Care

Following surgery, patients will wear a supportive bra and bandeau. Sleeping elevated during the initial recovery can help minimize post-operative swelling.

Patient Considerations

Temporary changes in nipple sensation are normal and typically resolve during the healing process.
