Breast augmentation continues to be one of the top cosmetic procedures in the world. Thousands of women choose breast augmentation to enhance their figures and feel more confident in their own skin.
At Sarasota Surgical Arts, breast augmentation can be an excellent way to reach those goals. With the guidance of an experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Alberico Sessa, you can feel comfortable, informed, and excited every step of the way.
The Basics Of Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation (sometimes casually known as a “boob job”) is a surgical procedure that adds volume and improves the shape of your breasts. This can be accomplished using implants or through fat transfer breast augmentation, where excess fat is taken from one area of your body and injected into your breasts for a subtler enhancement. At Sarasota Surgical Arts, we believe in tailoring each breast augmentation specifically to you to help produce the aesthetic results you want.
Different Types Of Breast Augmentation
- Implant-Based Augmentation: Implants are the most commonly chosen type of breast augmentation. Dr. Sessa will discuss your options for implants (such as saline or silicone) and help you determine the right size and shape to complement your figure. You’ll also talk about incision locations and implant placement (under the breast tissue or chest muscle) so you know exactly what to expect.
- Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation: Also known as a natural breast augmentation, this option involves removing unwanted fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs, purifying it, and then injecting it into the breasts. You may prefer this technique if you’re seeking a more modest increase in size and desire a very natural look and feel.
Whether you choose implants or fat transfer, Dr. Sessa will customize your procedure to suit your body type and aesthetic goals. And because we’re located in the Sunshine State, you can enjoy your transformation in a place known for its gorgeous beaches and vibrant lifestyle, allowing us to provide the best breast augmentation Florida offers.
From Consultation To Recovery
Your breast augmentation journey begins with a consultation at Sarasota Surgical Arts. We’ll take the time to discuss your desired outcomes, review your medical history, and answer any questions you have. Dr. Sessa will examine your breasts and recommend a surgical approach that will help you reach your cosmetic goals.
Immediately before surgery, you’ll be put under anesthesia to make sure you’re comfortable. The procedure typically takes one to two hours, and after you’ve had a bit of time to rest and recover from the anesthesia, you’ll be able to go home with detailed post-operative instructions.
Recovery Timeline
- First Few Days: You might experience some swelling, soreness, and bruising. It’s important to rest, take prescribed medications if necessary, and wear any compression garments Dr. Sessa recommends.
- One to Two Weeks: Most patients are ready to return to light activities or work (if it’s not too physically demanding). You’ll likely still need to avoid intense exercise or heavy lifting.
- Four to Six Weeks: This is the point when many people can gradually resume regular activities, including workouts, as long as Dr. Sessa gives the green light.
- Long-Term Results: Over the next few months, swelling will continue to decrease, and your new breast shape will settle into place.
