What are the factors of breast augmentation After the patient decides to proceed with breast implant surgery they then must decide on several variables These variables may impact the costs and recovery process for the procedure 1 Type of Implant Implants are available in different types Dr Zubowicz works with each patient to determine the best type of implant based on the patient s desires overall health and aesthetic goals The two main types are silicone filled and saline filled Silicone implants come prefilled whereas the surgeon fills the saline implants during the surgery Breast augmentation may also use fat transfer however these procedures have increased risks with less consistency in the results 2 Size of the Implant Dr Zubowicz uses both physical sizers and computer simulators to determine the right size of the implants to match the patient s goals and body After years of info zubowicz com 404 778 6879

successful breast implant surgery Dr Zubowicz has consistently found that women are conservative when selecting breast implant size and wish they had chosen a larger size in their range Keep this in mind with deciding on the size of the implant 3 Position of the Implant The patient must decide whether to place the implant below or above the muscle Each placement option has pros and cons however many patients experience a more natural feeling with submuscular under the muscle placement However certain shaped breasts result in better aesthetics when placed over the muscle tissue Dr Zubowicz walks each patient through the advantages and disadvantages of each option 4 Type of Incision Dr Zubowicz offers three types of incisions inframammary periareolar and axillary The most popular option is the inframammary where the incision falls in the lower crease of the breast The second most popular is periareolar with the incision on the lower areola Finally the axillary incision goes into the armpit Dr Zubowicz discusses the benefits of each type of incision so the patient can make an informed decision info zubowicz com 404 778 6879

What is a breast lift A breast lift is a cosmetic surgery that reshapes the breasts to correct drooping in the breast from aging pregnancy or weight loss Breast lift surgery restores a youthful appearance to the breasts Breast lift options include breast reductions to make the breasts smaller and mastopexy with implants which make the breasts larger Breast implant surgery is also available as a standalone procedure info zubowicz com 404 778 6879

What are the steps in a breast augmentation procedure An uncomplicated breast augmentation takes less than an hour If the patient has a breast lift along with an augmentation this will take 2 to 2 5 hours First Dr Zubowicz makes the incision and creates a pocket for the implant If there is no bleeding Dr Zubowicz irrigates the pocket with antibiotic and antiseptic solutions He will also rinse the implant with an antibiotic solution and then place the implant in the pocket and position it into place Then the surgical team lifts the patient to a sitting position to ensure the symmetry of the implant placement After returning the patient to a laying or recumbent position they close the incision and apply a surgical bra to support both the breasts and the dressing Dr Zubowicz s goal with each procedure aims to produce the desired appearance while prioritizing the patient s total health Dr Zubowicz excels in artistry through plastic surgery info zubowicz com 404 778 6879

What is breast augmentation recovery like For most patients breast augmentation recovery takes four weeks for a complete return to normal activities Patients can expect to be up and about immediately after the operation Though due to the anesthesia plan for someone to drive you home from the procedure Depending on whether the patient chooses to place the implant over or under the muscle will impact the recovery process For placement above the muscle the patient should experience minimal pain and soreness of the breast area For placement under the muscle the pain may feel like a pulled muscle and may require prescription pain medication After removal of the sutures the patient may resume exercising However the breasts must be at rest like with an exercise bike Avoid running and strenuous exercise of the chest area After four weeks the patient can participate in normal athletic activities if it doesn t hurt and the patient wears a supportive bra Patients may return to work after one week if their job does not include strenuous physical activity Overall patients should not lift their arms over their heads like shampooing their hair until the pain subsides info zubowicz com 404 778 6879
