Fort Lauderdale Breast Implant

Fort Lauderdale residents love to show off their swimsuit-ready bodies. One way to enhance your own body is through breast implants. Fort Lauderdale has many plastic surgeons to choose from also. When you go to a consultation with a doctor, you can find out which breast implant placement method would work best for you. You can have your surgeon insert your breast implants through your navel using a device called an endoscope. This procedure is called transumbilical breast augmentation or TUBA. In the event this sounds a little too invasive for your tastes, there are other methods available. Commonly, many implants are inserted underneath the breasts. Another location is through the armpit or the areola.

Recovery time varies with each individual but you will likely be back at work between 3-7 days after your breast augmentation. It will take time to heal completely. Smoking impedes the healing process by restricting the circulation and the flow of oxygen to the body, so your doctor will suggest that you stop for a time before and after the procedure. At about six months when all swelling and bruising have subsided, the resulting shape and size of your breast implants can be clearly seen. Breast implant surgery is like all other surgeries, it has risks. You should be aware that possible complications include capsular contracture (excessive scar tissue around the implant), infection, bleeding, rupture of the implant and others. Doctors have certain techniques in order to minimize these risks. You can discuss this further with the surgeon you choose.
