Breast Augmentation Philadelphia - Breast Implants

Breast Augmentation is an elective, cosmetic surgical procedure performed in order to increase breast size through the use of saline or silicone breast implant prosthetics.  The procedure, which is available to Dr. Robert J. Mirabile’s plastic surgery patients in Philadelphia can be performed in 1 to 2 hours, and is typically performed in an accredited outpatient surgical facility. Recovery times are relatively short, depending on the individual patient.

Is it right for me?

The decision to undergo breast implants surgery, as it is commonly referred, is one that you should carefully consider. As with any cosmetic surgical procedure, be sure that your motivations are centered around fulfilling and enhancing your own sense of innate beauty and self-image.

Breast augmentation surgery can be a good option for those who:

* Are physically healthy
* Have realistic expectations
* Have fully developed breasts
* Feel the necessity for larger, fuller breasts
* Wish to restore their breasts to pre-childbirth condition and reverse the natural sagging produced by age and fluctuations of weight gain and loss
* Have uneven, asymmetrical or misshapen breasts

In order to create the best possible results from your breast augmentation surgery, it is important that your surgeon consult with you to discuss your desires and expectations, as well as how breast augmentation surgery will impact your health, lifestyle and general well-being. It is a good idea to prepare by considering the following before your consultation:

* General medical history, including any genetic propensity for breast cancer, results of previous mammogram’s and any previous surgeries
* A detailed account of current prescription medications, supplements (vitamins or others) that you take
* Any use of tobacco or other drugs
* What are your motivations for surgery? What are your expectations?

At the consultation, your surgeon will also:

* Evaluate your current health
* Examine the condition of your pre-operative breasts for size, shape and irregularities and photograph your breasts
* Based on the information gathered, your surgeon will discuss your surgical options and recommend a course of treatment
* Disclose the risk of common complications associated with breast augmentation surgery and the use of anesthesia
* Cover what to do the day of surgery
* Cover post-operative care and recovery

Preparing for surgery

In the weeks before surgery, your surgeon may request:

* Further laboratory testing or medical evaluations
* Adjusting current prescriptions
* That you get a mammogram pre and post surgery to document any changes in breast tissues
* That you avoid the consumption of alcohol, drugs and abstain from smoking for a certain period surrounding surgery

Finally, your surgeon will go over the options you may have regarding the location of your surgery. Typically, breast augmentation procedures are done on an outpatient basis, which means that the surgery can be performed in an accredited office-based surgical center, outpatient ambulatory surgical center or a hospital. Getting breast augmentation is a big decision and it’s important to become fully informed. Dr. Robert J.
