Breast

The modern breast implants we utilize at SYA can stay in forever, barring damage, infection, or hard scarring. It is important to report any changes to your surgeon immediately to ensure the best care.

The short answer is yes. While your breasts are restored to their ideal position, gravity will want to pull them down. Wearing a supportive bra will slow this process.

The key is to leave behind enough breast tissue to support blood supply to the nipple and areola, and this depends on how low it sits. Our surgeon has removed over 3000 grams from each side in a previous case. That is over 13 lbs.

It depends on the patient. Sometimes, just around the areola in a circle, sometimes a lollipop pattern, and others an anchor. A consult will tell.

Some patients want to reduce the size of their breasts but also want fullness to the upper part of the breast, even without a bra. In these cases, we reduce the natural tissue a little more so that adding the implant still leaves them with the size and look they desire.

Ideal candidates for breast plastic surgery are adults in overall good physical and mental health who are willing to recover from surgery and can do so without complications. Candidates for breast plastic surgery will benefit from the procedure if they:

• Are dissatisfied with their breast shape
• Have lost volume in their breasts after pregnancy, weight loss, and aging.
• Have asymmetry.
• Have breasts that have failed to develop normally.
• Need breast reconstruction after a mastectomy.
• Need a breast reduction to relieve painful symptoms.
• Want a breast augmentation to achieve aesthetic goals.
• Need a breast implant replacement. 

Although breast plastic surgery procedures are safe and effective, they may not be for everyone. If you are someone who has had complications healing from surgery in the past, you may not qualify as a candidate for breast plastic surgery. Additionally, women who are pregnant, breastfeeding, or still plan to have children may not be candidates either.

Patients with a history of breast cancer, or those who have had an abnormal mammogram may be at an increased risk of complications after surgery. Certain health conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, COPD, and diabetes may all disqualify you from becoming a qualified candidate for breast plastic surgery. 

The recovery process will vary from patient to patient, depending on the kind of procedure you received, your body’s ability to heal, and your overall health. However, on average, a full recovery from breast plastic surgery can take up to six weeks. Most patients are able to see improvements in the expected postoperative results like swelling and tenderness within one to two weeks and may return back to non physically demanding work at this time, but six weeks is the average timeframe for a full recovery.

Despite being one of the most common plastic surgery procedures, surgical treatments involving the breasts can include a few risks. These risks are:

• Anesthesia risks
• Excessive bleeding
• Changes in nipple or breast sensation
• Seroma
• Hematoma
• Implant leakage or rupture
• Asymmetry
• Infection
• Chronic pain
• Scarring
• The need for revision surgery

No matter what type of breast plastic surgery you undergo, you can feel confident in the fact that the above mentioned risks will be minimized as much as possible. If you experience any complications during your recovery at all, our team will be there to help get you the treatment you need.

There are numerous breast plastic surgery procedures to choose from. The best way to achieve excellent, complication-free, natural-looking results is to consult with an experienced surgeon.

During a consultation at SY Aesthetics, you’ll be able to discuss your overall health, aesthetic goals, and expectations from breast plastic surgery with your surgeon. This consultation will help your surgeon determine if you are a qualified candidate for breast plastic surgery and exactly which type of breast plastic procedure can benefit you.
