Austin Breast Implant

Breasts implants are one of the most requested plastic surgery procedures in Austin and across the country. Breast implants can be as subtle or dramatic as you wish. They can restore firmness and volume in breasts deflated by age, pregnancy, or nursing, or enhance what you already have. Breast cancer patients have the option of using their own tissue or implants in reconstruction of the breast. A mastectomy and breast augmentation can be done within the same operation.

You have a choice when it comes to how your breast implant surgery is performed. Your surgeon will make an incision in either the armpits, underneath the breasts, or the bottom part of the areola. Implants can also be inserted through the belly button using an endoscope in an operation called transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA). You can go back to work in 1-2 weeks, but swelling and bruising can last as long as 6 months. Exercise and other strenuous activity can be resumed 2-3 weeks after the surgery. Breast implants will not affect fertility, breastfeeding or give you cancer. They will cause your mammograms to become lengthier because the breast tissue will be harder to see. Sometimes an ultrasound will be used to give the doctor a more complete picture.

A doctor's education and training is just one thing to consider when looking for a plastic surgeon. You should also note how you feel in the presence of this doctor.
