Breast Implant Augmentation Surgery: What To Expect
By Polly Summer Many breast implant augmentation surgery patients do not mentally prepare themselves for the pain involved after surgery. The amount of pain experienced by patients varies, and some patients feel very little pain or discomfort. Others, however (like me) experience a lot of pain. It is not possible to predict how much pain any particular individual is likely to feel, so you should discuss this with your surgeon. If you choose to have “under the muscle” surgery, this increases the risks of post-operative pain. Breast implants can sit much higher than expected until they eventually ’settle’. This can be disconcerting as it causes the nipples to actually point downards. Not the effect you want! You can expect the implants to take up to 6 weeks to begin looking ‘normal’, and perhaps a further 6 weeks to settle properly into the position they were meant to be. Expect the implants to feel hard. Again, like the position of them, this will improve as they settle, and they will soften. Do not expect them to actually ever feel like real breast tissue though. Breast implants are likely to cause some bruising, and the risk of this is higher with an armpit incision. You can also expect some scarring (as with any invasive procedure). Although the scarring will be permament, it should be light enough so it can be easily masked with makeup. To give you an idea of the risks of heavy scarring (sometimes called “hypertrophic scars”) this occurs in roughly 10% of crease incisions (under the breast), 5% of areola incisions, and under 1% of armpit (or axillary) incisions. You can, of course, expect your breasts to be lifted as a result of breast implant augmentation surgery. However, do not expect them to stay where they are after surgery. Age, pregnancy, and childbearing will have the same effect on your breasts whether you have had implants or not. If you have any pre-existing stretch marks, you may expect breast implants to actually fill these out and make them less noticeable! Likewise, implants can cause fresh stretch marks if there is not enough breast tissue to comfortably take your new size. You should discuss this with your surgeon and not be tempted to go too big if this is a risk issue for you.
