Minneapolis Breast Implant

Breast implant procedures remain popular in Minneapolis and other locations. You can find many plastic surgeons that can do this operation for you. When looking for the right doctor, it helps to know some details about breast implants before starting your search. Breast implants can be composed of saline or silicone. They are not known to cause cancer or infertility. They don't affect pregnancy or nursing either. Unfortunately there are some possible complications associated with breast augmentations just like any other surgery. Some of these risks are excessive scar tissue forming around the implant (capsular contracture), rupture of the implant, infection, bleeding and others. Some doctors believe that the risk for capsular contracture can be minimized by placing the implant behind the muscle wall. This is a slightly more invasive technique because it delves deeper into the body.

If you've decided to get breast implants, you have a few options when it comes to how the surgery is performed. The incision site determines where the scar will show. Incisions can be made in the armpits, underneath the breast, or the bottom part of the areola. Breast implants can also be inserted through the navel in a procedure called transumbilical breast augmentation (TUBA). Prior to the operation and a few weeks after, you will not be able to smoke. Smoking can cause complications during surgery and interfere with healing. Although you will be physically able to return to work in 3-7 days, it will take months to completely heal and for all swelling and bruising to subside.
