FAQ

How long do breast implants last?

While breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, they can last many years. Regular check-ups with your plastic surgeon are recommended to monitor the condition of your implants. Some women may choose to replace or remove their implants after 10-15 years.

What is breast augmentation surgery?

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that enhances the size and shape of the breasts using implants or fat transfer techniques. This procedure can help women achieve their desired breast size and improve body proportions.

How long is the recovery time after breast augmentation?

Recovery time varies, but most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks. Full recovery and final results may take several months. It's important to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions for optimal healing.

What types of breast implants are available?

There are two main types of breast implants: silicone and saline. Silicone implants offer a more natural feel, while saline implants can be adjusted for size after surgery. Your surgeon will help you choose the best option based on your goals and body type.

Will breast augmentation affect my ability to breastfeed?

Most women can still breastfeed after breast augmentation. However, it's essential to discuss your plans for future pregnancies with your surgeon, as they may recommend specific implant placement techniques to minimize potential complications.
