Some Points Regarding Breast Augmentation Procedures

Posted May 03, 2011 in Uncategorized, by Dr. Fiorillo

It’s not uncommon to be nervous before a breast augmentation procedure. After all, even if the procedure is a relatively minor one, it still involves surgery. Usually people who are about to undergo it have a number of concerns on their mind. So if you have questions or things you would like cleared up, be sure to discuss these with your doctor. That way, your stress levels can be reduced.

For example, some women are concerned about possible scars arising from the operation. They worry that since incisions are going to be made, the procedure might leave traces which they will later find not so aesthetically pleasing. Thankfully this is something that doctors are also very much concerned about. They understand that the aesthetics of the procedure’s outcome are very important to the patient, so they make choices aimed at minimizing or doing away with the possibility of unsightly traces after the surgery.

This means that they will choose very carefully where any incisions are going to be made. The incisions are done in places which are not particularly visible or easy to see with the naked eye. One place where incisions may be done is the armpit. Another place where the incision can be made is in the fold located underneath the breasts, where these meet the torso. One other place for an incision involves the dark area of skin located around the nipple. The thing that these locations have in common is the fact that they do a good job of hiding any traces of an incision. This greatly reduces the possibility of having any visible traces from the breast enhancement procedure. As a result, the people who undergo it have less to worry about and are more able to simply enjoy the resulting larger and fuller breasts.

Another thing to keep in mind is that there will be bandages around the incisions for several days after the procedure. Once those days pass, it will be possible to remove the bandages and instead make use of a surgical bra. As far as convenience goes, this is a big deal. Of course, it’s important to make sure that your body has a sufficient amount of time to recover after any procedure. But given the way procedures are done today, recovery time is being reduced to a minimum so that women who undergo a breast enlargement can go back to their usual daily routines, with less delay.
