The Basics of Breast Augmentation What, Why, and How
Breast augmentation surgery enhances the size and shape of breasts by the placement of breast implants. Breast implants are usually filled with either saline or silicone gel. A plastic surgeon can place implants either under or over the chest muscle, depending on the desired outcomes of the patient.
Breast implant surgery is best suited for patients with naturally small breasts who want to enhance their size and shape. In some cases, breast augmentation can be combined with a breast lift to address sagging breasts. Some patients utilize breast augmentation to restore breast tissue, although other forms of reconstructive surgery may be more appropriate.

How Long
Do the Results Last?

The results of a properly performed breast augmentation are immediate and long-lasting, but you should keep in mind that implants will have to be replaced every 10-20 years. However, this cosmetic investment can provide a lifetime of change when performed by an award-winning board-certified surgeon like Dr. Kopchinski.

Understanding the Risks of Breast Augmentation
No surgery is without risk. While choosing an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Kopchinski at Prestige Cosmetic Surgery in San Antonio, TX, greatly reduces the risks of breast augmentation, some possible complications include:
Capsular Contracture
Capsular contracture describes the effect that occurs when scar tissue contracts around the breast implant. In severe cases, capsular contracture can lead to discomfort and a distorted appearance.
Infection
Any form of surgery runs the risk of infection. Prestige Cosmetic Surgery operates out of a state-of-the-art surgical center that meets the highest cleanliness standards, so the chances of infection are low.
Implant Rupture
There is the possibility that the breast implants will eventually rupture. When this happens, the breast can sometimes appear deflated. Dr. Kopchinski can correct this issue with breast implant revision surgery.
Frequently Asked Questions About Breast Augmentation in San Antonio, TX
Do scars go away after breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation scars will not disappear completely, but with proper care, they will fade significantly over time. Dr. Kopchinski favors the inframammary surgical technique, which involves an incision along the crease where the bottom of the breast meets the chest. Due to their location, inframammary scars are easily concealed by many tops, undergarments, and bathing suits.
What is the fastest way to recover from breast augmentation?
Everyone heals at a different rate. However, the surest and safest way to achieve a timely recovery is to follow your doctor's orders and get plenty of rest in the weeks after breast augmentation surgery. Patients should take time off from work and avoid strenuous activities. While walking a little each day is important for preventing blood clots, strenuous exercise should be avoided until you are cleared by your doctor.
Can I do chest exercises after getting breast implants?
Once you are cleared by your surgeon, you can resume doing chest exercises. However, you should start light and gradually increase weight and intensity when doing push-ups, bench presses, and other chest workouts. This is especially true if your breast implants were placed under the pectoral muscles. Discontinue the chest exercise as soon as you notice discomfort and consult with our team for more information.
Do breast implants affect nursing or milk supply?
In most cases, implants don't compromise nursing, but milk supply could be affected. This is particularly true of any surgeries that involve incisions around the areola. Since Dr. Kopchinski typically performs inframammary surgery, the risk to milk production and breastfeeding is lower.
What awards has Dr. Kopchinski won?
Besides being listed as one of America's Top Surgeons, he is also a Health Grades Recognized Doctor and a multiple winner of the Vitals Patient's Choice Award.
What does board certified mean?
Dr. Kopchinski received specialized education and training after medical school that other plastic surgeons have not. He also had to successfully pass a challenging exam given by a board of esteemed plastic surgeons. He is considered to be at the pinnacle of his profession.
"I just had my procedure 4 weeks ago, which means I'm not yet fully healed but I love love love what I'm seeing in the mirror"
