While each woman’s reasons for considering breast augmentation are unique, the positive results are universal, and our patients’ goals often include:
Research has shown that textured implants have a lower risk of capsular contracture – a complication that occurs when scar tissue forms around the implant and distorts the implant shape; this risk reduction is greatest when the implant is placed above the muscle. The risk of capsular contracture is similar among smooth and textured implants when placed below the pectoralis major muscle.
Your breast implants can be placed in front of or behind the chest (pectoralis major) muscle. The size and type of breast implant you choose, as well as your incision locations and the amount of breast tissue present, will factor into which option is best for you.
Subfascial Placement: This placement is very similar to subglandular, but the implant is placed deeper into the subfascial tissue. It is still above the pectoral muscle. This means no muscle is cut, which allows for faster recovery, and with more tissue coverage than subglandular, and it can prevent concerns such as implant distortion or edge visibility.
Clareo doctors perform Breast Augmentation using general anesthesia because it relaxes the muscles, decreasing bleeding and the risk of capsular contracture. Breast pocket symmetry is also better when the muscles are relaxed. Your surgery takes about an hour; however, if you have additional procedures such as a breast lift, tummy tuck, or liposuction, your surgery may take up to four hours.
After your breast augmentation surgery, you will see an immediate increase in breast size. However, it may take six months to a year for your breasts to settle into their final position. During this time, your breasts may feel firmer and have a different shape as your body adjusts to the presence of the implants.
