Washington DC Breast Implant

Here in Washington DC, you can find some of the nation's best plastic surgeons. You should be aware of some details about breast implants before you schedule a consultation. Breast implants do not cause cancer, pregnancy problems or infertility. Your mammograms will be more extensive in order to get a complete view of the breast tissue. Sometimes the technician will use an ultrasound in this situation. Some possible risks with breast implants are excessive formation of scar tissue or capsular contracture, infection, bleeding, and other complications you should discuss with your surgeon.

Breast implant procedures are customized to the patient's needs and lifestyle. Where your scar shows will be determined by the incision site. Breast implants can be inserted through an incision made at the bottom of the areola, underneath the breasts, or in the armpit. Transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA) is a procedure that inserts the breast implants through the belly button with a device called an endoscope. You can return to work in a week, maybe less depending on your rate of healing. Smoking must be stopped a few weeks prior to and after your breast implant surgery because it can cause some complications during surgery and slow down your body's healing process.
