The Breast Augmentation Procedure
Breast augmentation is typically performed under general anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. Dr. Maffi creates a small incision, often in the crease under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit, to insert the implant. Depending on your anatomy and preferences, the implant may be placed either above or below the chest muscle. Dr. Maffi uses state-of-the-art techniques to create a natural breast contour and maintain symmetry. The surgery usually takes one to two hours, and patients are monitored before being released to a caregiver the same day.
Recovery & Results for Breast Augmentation
After breast augmentation surgery, it is normal to experience swelling, mild discomfort, and temporary changes in breast sensation. Most patients are able to return to light activities within a few days and resume work in about one week.
Dr. Maffi and the team at Maffi Plastic Surgery will provide detailed aftercare instructions and closely monitor your progress during follow-up visits to ensure a smooth recovery.
Breast augmentation provides long-lasting enhancement to breast size, shape, and symmetry. While breast implants are designed to be durable, it is important to maintain routine check-ups, as implants may require replacement or revision over time.
