Richmond Breast Implant

Richmond's proximity to colleges and universities like UC Berkeley and Stanford make it a suitable haven for doctors of all professions including plastic surgeons. If you are one of the many women who have decided to get breast implants, you can find a qualified plastic surgeon in Richmond. Breast implants can dramatically increase size and restore firmness and volume in deflated, sagging breasts. There is no evidence that they cause cancer, infertility, inability to breastfeed or pregnancy problems. They don't affect pregnancy or nursing either. All surgeries have certain risks and breast implant procedures do as well. Some of these risks are excessive scar tissue forming around the implant (capsular contracture), rupture of the implant, infection, bleeding and other complications. Some doctors feel that placing the breast implant under the chest muscle and not just the breast tissue reduces the risk of excessive scar tissue formation.

Smoking is off limits a few weeks before and a few weeks after because it causes problems during surgery and slows down the healing process. You can be back at work in 3-7 days. Strenuous activity like exercising and playing sports can be done 2-3 weeks later. Keep in mind that it will take months to completely heal and for all swelling and bruising to subside.
