Every patient will begin their breast augmentation process with an in-depth consultation at Seattle Plastic Surgery. This consultation will serve a few purposes. First, it will allow the provider to get the patient’s complete medical background to ensure they can safely undergo the procedure. Second, the provider will better understand the patient’s cosmetic needs and goals. Third, the patient can discuss implant types, sizes, and incision sites with the provider to determine which ones are right for them. Finally, the provider will give the patient a list of pre and post-operative instructions and a personalized quote for their breast implant surgery.
Breast Augmentation Hawaii
Patients will arrive at the state-of-the-art Seattle Plastic Surgery facility. The patient will be placed under general anesthetic, and the provider will begin the surgery. He will use the incision site discussed during the consultation to place the implants either above or below the chest muscle. Patients will be monitored for a small period of time after the surgery before being released to go home.
Recovery from Breast Augmentation
Hawaii breast augmentation patients will be sent home in a compression garment that they should wear until their provider clears them to remove it. Patients should expect discomfort, swelling, and bruising during the first week following the procedure. The provider will provide medication to ease any discomfort the patient may experience. Some other post-operative instructions may include:
- Rest and do not return to work for at least a week
- Do not participate in strenuous exercise or lift above ten pounds for six to eight weeks
- Avoid sleeping on your stomach
- Attend all follow-up appointments
- Utilize the incision care instructions
- Take all medication prescribed by your provider
