After pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding, women often find that their breasts have lost their youthful appearance.
Breast enlargement, also referred to as augmentation mammoplasty helps to enhance the body contour of a woman and restore the youthful appearance of the breasts.
Women considering breast augmentation or a breast lift surgery post pregnancy should wait at least six months after the lactation period because this is the amount of time it takes for the breasts to return to their normal state.
The breast augmentation operation is carried out under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. Breast augmentation surgery normally takes about two hours.
The plastic surgeon begins by making a small incision either under the breast above the crease, around the areola, or in the armpit. Then, the cosmetic surgeon makes a “pocket” by lifting the breast tissue and skin.
The pocket is either underneath the chest wall muscle (the pectoral muscle) or directly behind the breast tissue. The implant is placed within this pocket and then a thin drainage tube is temporarily inserted to drain off the blood and fluids.
Plastic surgeons at the Plastic Surgery Institute of California offer breast augmentation procedure as part of the mommy makeover packages which help mothers deal with a changed body post pregnancy.
