How Is Breast Augmentation Surgery Performed?

Before the procedure begins, general anesthesia is administered to ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience. Once it has taken effect, the surgery will begin, which will usually take around an hour. Incision placement, as well as implant placement, is decided prior to surgery as part of each patient’s personalized treatment plan. During our breast augmentation in Denver, the chosen incision is created and then the appropriate breast implant will be slipped into the pocket, either under the pectoral muscle or behind the breast tissue but over the pectoral muscle. Regardless of incision type and implant placement, scarring is usually small and discreet. Dr. Barker’s expertise, skill, and precision-oriented approach ensure elegant, natural-looking results.

Recovery Timeline

  • Day 3-5: Discomfort is improving. Patients can return to work.
  • Day 7: First postoperative visit. Dressings are removed, and the patient is weaned off pain medications.
  • 3 weeks post-op: Patients can begin scar therapy if indicated. Patients can slowly increase physical activity.
  • 4 weeks post-op: Second postoperative visit. 
  • 6 weeks post-op: Patients can resume normal bra usage and increase physical activity to no restrictions by 8 weeks postoperatively.

What Is The Recovery Process Like?

Following the procedure, there are just a few things to know in regard to ensuring a smooth recovery process. The incisions will be closed with dissolvable sutures and covered with a small, sterile surgical dressing. The dressing will remain in place until the first postoperative visit (within one week of surgery). Typically, patients will feel slight discomfort in their breasts for the first 3-5 days following surgery. The discomfort will continue to improve daily, and most patients are able to return to work within 3-5 days after surgery.

During the operation, Dr. Barker will inject an anesthetic to block the nerves in the breasts. This anesthetic lasts for up to 3 days to help control immediate postoperative pain. After the surgery, patients will typically only need over-the-counter medications (acetaminophen and ibuprofen) to assist with pain control. The patient will be allowed to shower 24 hours after surgery. They should wear a no-wire surgical bra, which is recommended for the first six weeks of recovery.

Patients should avoid strenuous activity for the first 4 weeks following surgery. After 6-8 weeks, they will usually be cleared for full activity without restrictions. Swelling is also expected during this time and typically resolves after about six months. Dr. Barker remains available and accessible during the entire recovery process should any questions or concerns arise. As long as his instructions are followed, patients typically experience a stress-free, seamless healing process, followed by a beautiful transformation.

FAQ

Should I get a breast lift or an augmentation?

Should I get saline or silicone implants?

Can I breastfeed with breast implants?

Should I get a breast lift or an augmentation?

Both a breast lift and a breast augmentation are excellent ways to enhance the patient’s chest. Dr. Barker will first listen to and assess your goals for surgery before discussing your options. Sagging skin can be treated with a lift, while loss of volume is better addressed with implants. Combination surgery may also be helpful for some patients.

Should I get saline or silicone implants?

Plastic surgeons have different opinions about which implants are best suited for patients. It depends on your individual needs, size expectations, and breast shape goals. Fat transfer surgery can also provide natural enhancements without the need for implants.

Can I breastfeed with breast implants?

If you want to breastfeed after augmentation, speak with Dr. Barker about it during your private consultation so that he can adjust your surgical plan and incision placement. Most women are able to breastfeed without complication after a breast augmentation. However, if you plan to become pregnant soon, it may be better to wait until your family is complete since breastfeeding can change the appearance and makeup of your breasts.
