What to expect

Breast augmentation with an implant is one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in our current day. You can expect to feel pain and heaviness for the first week after your surgery. You will need at least 3 months off from heavy exercise or contact sport. Initially the implants sit high on the chest wall, and may look more square, but they drop and settle in over time. It is possible to get implants under the pectoralis muscle or over the muscle and your recovery will depend on the nature of the surgical procedure, the size of the implants and your healing capacity.

Procedure specific risks are: Capsular Contracture, asymmetry, ruptured or flipped implant, haematoma or seroma, Breast Implant Illness or non-specific systemic symptoms, Breast Implant associated anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma, trauma from the surgery such as a pneumothorax, poor scarring, poor aesthetic result. Breast implants are not lifetime devices and you should expect to have a repeat surgery at some point in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I have any sized implant that I desire?
If you are completely flat chested and you do not have much available excess skin on your chest, it is physically possible to stretch the skin to a certain degree, to accommodate an implant, but there reaches a point where the skin is stretched to its maximum. We are dictated as to what size can be placed into your breast pocket by your specific anatomy, such as the amount of available skin and where your nipple is currently placed.
Which implants are better, round or tear-drop?
Neither is better or worse, it just depends on what aesthetic you desire. If you wish to have a fuller upper breast, round implants may be your first choice, but it is also important to look at your anatomy and take some measurements before deciding which shape would look better in your particular case.
I have some breast sag, but I do not want a breast lift, can I have an implant to lift the breast?
Breast implants cannot be used to lift excessively droopy tissues, the result will not be aesthetically pleasing if this is attempted. Please discuss your options and likely result with Dr Wetton at your consultation.
