Breast Augmentation Medical
Term: “Augmentation Mammoplasty” It
is the enhancement of the breast by placing a silastic implant. It
is done to make the breasts fuller and firmer but look natural
and add more feminine vibrance. A
small opening is made underneath the breast to place the silastic
implant. It
is usually done under Intravenous Sedation or General Anesthesia. Cardio
Pulmonary Clearance is needed prior to the procedure. Included
here are: Chest X-Rays, Blood Tests
and Certain Diagnostic Exams It
is done at our center and we usually give an overnight hotel
accommodation to give comfort to the patient
since there will be a follow-up check the next day. It
usually takes 2-3 hours for this procedure to be done. Recovery
period for this procedure is 7-10 days.
