5 Essential Things to Know Before Your Breast Implant with Saline

Considering Saline Breast Implants?

Saline breast implants offer a customizable option for enhancing breast size and shape, providing a natural feel with the benefit of adjustable volume. Here are five crucial aspects to know before your procedure.

1. Will I Need Future Surgeries?

While saline implants are durable, they may eventually need to be replaced or removed, typically after 10 to 20 years. Factors like implant deflation, capsular contracture, and changes in breast shape over time may necessitate revision surgery. This also applies to other cosmetic procedures like tummy tucks and facelifts.

2. What Will My Immediate Results Look Like?

Immediately after surgery, expect some swelling and an elevated position of the implants on your chest. This is normal and temporary. Over the next few months, the implants will settle into a more natural position, and the swelling will subside, revealing your final results.

3. How Will Surgery Affect My Daily Routine?

Recovery from breast augmentation requires some downtime. Plan to take at least a week off work and avoid strenuous activities for several weeks. Light activities like walking are encouraged to promote healing. Following your surgeon's guidelines will ensure a smooth recovery.

4. Is Post-Surgery Pain Normal?

Experiencing pain and discomfort after surgery is normal. You might feel tightness and soreness as your body adjusts to the implants. Your plastic surgeon will provide pain management options to help alleviate discomfort. Gentle massage, as instructed by your surgeon, can also aid in reducing pain and promoting healing.

5. What Lifestyle Changes Should I Expect Post-Surgery?

Post-surgery, you may need to make temporary lifestyle adjustments. Wearing a supportive bra continuously for several weeks helps maintain the new shape of your breasts. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, including a balanced diet and regular exercise, can also enhance and prolong the results of your breast augmentation.
