Breast Augmentation Technique, Breast Enlargement surgery

1. Most popular method: Insertion of an implant into a pocket in the breast tissue, with an incision approx. less than two imches long along the crease under the breast. The incision is then closed with hidden dissolving sutures and either covered with a light dressing or supported with two layers of adhesive tape.

Following a breast enlargement procedure the breasts will be tender and swollen for a few days. The skin above the incision may feel numb for some months following the op. This rarely extends to the nipple. Some patients describe increased sensation that can last for two to three months.

Scars are a consideration following a breast enlargement procedure, typically 5 centimetes long in the crease under each breast; they are noticeable initially following breast surgery but can assume normal skin colour in time, dependent on the healing process of the individual.

Some people often take the opportunity to have a breast uplift at the same time.
