Breast Augmentation
DEFINITION
Breast Augmentation enhances the size of the breasts using inflatable implants filled with either saline or silicone gel. The implants are placed during an outpatient procedure. Patients may experience temporary pain, swelling, bruising or a change in nipple sensation. Potential complications include implant rupture, development of scar tissue, bleeding, infection, a change in the sensitivity of the nipples. Patients generally return to work within a week or two. It may take several months to a year or more for scars to fade. The larger the implant, the more unnatural the result.
