San Antonio Breast Implant

If you are one of the many San Antonio women considering breast implants, there are some details you should be aware of. Breast implants are not only used to increase size, but they work extremely well in restoring volume and firmness to breasts affected by pregnancy, nursing and the passage of time. They can also be used in reconstruction of a breast after a mastectomy. Your breast implants can be inserted through various different methods. Incisions can be made underneath the breasts, in the armpits or even at the bottom part of the areola. The implants can also be inserted through the navel with the help of an endoscope.

After your operation, you can probably return to work in 7 days or less. There will be some swelling and bruising. After a few months the swelling will be completely gone. Exercise and other strenuous activity will have to wait for at least 2-3 weeks. All surgeries have certain risks and breast augmentations are no different. It is possible to develop capsular contracture (the excess formation of scar tissue around the implant), infection, bleeding, rupture of the implant, numbness in parts of the breast and other issues. On the positive side there is no evidence that breast implants cause cancer, infertility or the inability to breastfeed.
