Breast augmentation, sometimes called breast enhancement or breast enlargement, is a surgical procedure during which implants are used to increase breast size and enhance the appearance of a woman’s breasts.

The breast augmentation procedure itself takes about 1 to 2 hours to perform. You will then be in the recovery area for another 2 hours. Once you have recovered from the effects of anesthesia, you will be allowed to go home, but it is imperative that a responsible adult accompany you. You will feel discomfort after the surgery, and we recommend that you take the pain medication as prescribed. You will also be given antibiotics to take for 5 days. Your bandages should remain on until you are seen again in the office, usually 2 to 3 days following surgery. At that time you will be asked to wear a support bra or sports bra for a period of 4 weeks. You should not wear a push-up bra or bras with underwires, as these may displace the implants. When you are able to tolerate it, you should begin daily breast massages; this will help over time to keep the implants soft and to settle in their final position. In the first few weeks after breast augmentation surgery, the implants will appear unusually high. This is normal, and with time the swelling will subside and the implants will settle into proper position.
