At Advanced Liposuction Center our Cranberry Township plastic surgeons can help you enhance your breasts and feel better about your appearance with implant surgery. Adding volume to the breasts is the goal for many clients. However, improving breast shape and overall symmetry is also very important to improving the appearance of the breasts. Our highly customizable breast implants allow you to choose the enhancements that are important to you and create the ideal breast size and shape.
Over time, the firm, full and lifted appearance of the breasts can change. A number of factors, including gravity, pregnancy, weight loss and simply the natural aging process can alter the look of your breasts. There may be a pronounced loss of volume, resulting in a sagging, deflated look. Fortunately, you have options.
Saline or Silicone?
The first step is deciding what type of implant will best meet your goals.
Silicone—noted for its very realistic feel, silicone closely matches the density and firmness of natural breast tissue. It is somewhat stiffer than saline. Silicone implants have soft edges which allows them to blend easily into existing tissue, producing a very natural look and realistic feel.
Saline—if you are looking for a large increase in your breast size, saline may be the best choice. Saline implants are also very good for restoring or even improving the shape of your breasts. In the past, saline implants had the reputation of not moving or feeling natural with an overly firm appearance and a noticeable “ripple effect” when the breasts moved. In today’s implants, however, these issues have been largely resolved and saline implants can achieve a natural look and feel.
Recovery Process
The patient will be given medicines to relieve the pain when the anesthesia wears off.
The patient will not be able to drive after undergoing general anesthesia. They should plan for a ride home with a friend.
Sutures that are absorbed or dissolvable normally dissolve after 6 weeks.
A follow-up session will be required if the patient’s sutures do not dissolve or if drainage tubes have been put near the breasts.
The following information should be provided by the medical team:

When should you go to a follow-up appointment?
When should you consult a doctor?
If the patient has any of the following symptoms, they should seek medical attention right away:
• Fever, warmth, and redness in the breast area, chest aches, irregular heartbeats, or shortness of breath are all signs of infection.
For around 6 weeks, the patient should refrain from engaging in vigorous physical activities.
To decrease pain and discomfort, the doctor may recommend various post-operative exercises, such as flexing and moving the arms, as well as the type of bra to use.
Recovery times can vary because every woman is unique. Recovery times can be influenced by a number of variables, including implant size and type, placement, and even the surgeon’s surgical expertise.
A full recuperation time typically lasts four to six weeks on average. During this delicate period, it’s crucial to avoid physical activity, moving large objects, and overexerting yourself.
