A complete and thorough understanding of Breast Augmentation is
necessary. Your questions and concerns will be discussed during
a comprehensive consultation, and you will be provided with
reading material to help you fully understand this procedure.
The breast implants are saline filled with a silicone rubber
shell and a valve for adding saline solution. The size is
selected in proportion to your body frame. Dr. Blau's prefers
periareolar (under the of nipple) insertion of the implant, the
length of the incision being about one inch long. The resulting
scar is usually less noticeable.
In most cases, Dr. Blau's
location for the breast implant is under the pectoralis muscle
(sub pectoral), which will make for a more natural look and
feel. However, the location of the implant is ultimately
determined by the needs of each individual patient. Although
recovery time varies, many patients are able to return to work
within about a week. However, it is very important to avoid
strenuous activity for a few weeks.
