Expert Breast Augmentation in Carmel, IN | Dr. Christine Kelley
Understanding Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a sophisticated plastic surgery procedure designed to create fuller breasts or restore volume lost due to weight reduction, pregnancy, or uneven breast development. The surgical technique utilizes carefully selected implants to achieve patients' aesthetic goals.
Implant Options
Dr. Christine Kelley offers two FDA-approved implant types:
- Saline Implants: Customizable sterile saltwater-filled implants
- Silicone Implants: Elastic gel implants mimicking natural breast tissue
Surgical Approach
The procedure involves general anesthesia and strategic incision placement to minimize visible scarring. Incision locations are meticulously chosen based on implant type, desired enlargement, and individual patient anatomy.
Recovery and Considerations
Patients can expect a recovery period of 24-48 hours, with several days of limited activity. Post-surgical instructions are crucial for optimal healing and results. Potential swelling and soreness may persist for several weeks.
Potential Risks
Breast augmentation, like all surgical procedures, carries potential risks including:
- Unfavorable scarring
- Changes in breast or nipple sensation
- Implant leakage or rupture
- Potential need for revisional surgery
Long-Term Considerations
Patients should understand that breast implants are not lifetime devices. Future surgeries might be necessary due to aging, weight changes, pregnancy, or implant condition. Regular consultations are recommended to monitor breast health and implant status.
