Breast Augmentation Options

[00:00:07.800] A good candidate for breast augmentation [00:00:09.657] is any young lady that would like to have larger breasts [00:00:15.072] than what they currently have. [00:00:17.029] A patient has a choice between two types of implants: [00:00:21.343] saline or silicone. [00:00:22.800] Saline are more or less water-filled balloons. [00:00:25.629] They allow us the ability to adjust the size of the implant [00:00:29.672] based on the patient's desires. [00:00:31.657] The other option is silicone. [00:00:34.314] Silicone is a more natural-looking, and more natural-feeling implant, [00:00:38.371] but does not allow any type of adjustment other than the prefilled sizes. [00:00:43.500] I always think that no matter who the doctor is, [00:00:46.100] you should choose the one you like [00:00:48.700] because complications happen to everybody. [00:00:52.971] You want to know that the doctor that you choose [00:00:55.300] is going to be there to help you [00:00:57.071] should you have the unfortunate experience of having a complication post-surgery. [00:01:04.129] Breast augmentation takes about 30 minutes. [00:01:07.043] Recovery of breast augmentation depends upon the patient. [00:01:09.971] Since all our implants are placed under the muscle, [00:01:13.400] there is a two or three day of increased pain [00:01:16.743] due to the stretching of the muscle that occurs [00:01:19.371] with the placement of the implant. [00:01:21.314] There will be about a week of soreness, [00:01:24.343] but this is all dependent on the patient [00:01:26.500] and how quickly they get up and are moving about.
