Breast Augmentation Waukesha

Worldwide, breast augmentations are performed on a regular basis. When performed by credible, knowledgeable, and compassionate plastic surgeons, the surgery is a very safe procedure. However, as with any surgery, unforeseen complications can occur, but are extremely rare.

FDA regulations on breast implants also ensure approval of all implants used in augmentations and require that the highest safety standards are in place. Breast augmentations have become increasingly popular since the first silicone implant procedure was performed in 1961, and many modern breast implants still use silicone.

Although you may have several implant options to choose from, all standard implants are filled with some type of silicone or saline, and both are considered exceptionally safe.

As technology continues to evolve and breakthrough science allows for medical innovations, breast implants become both more natural in appearance and safer for recipients.

Every patient is different and may require a different amount of time for total recovery. However, you should generally avoid major arm movement and rigorous exercise for 1-2 weeks after your surgery, and avoid lifting heavy objects for up to six weeks post-procedure.

In the days following your breast augmentation, you may feel a lot of tenderness, and you may be sore. Although you may need to take a few days to rest and recover, within a couple of weeks, you can resume light daily activity and should be completely healed within a couple of months.

After a consultation with the Quintessa team, you may find that your desired breast size could change. Your desired augmentation might be based on your physical frame and body weight and the natural size of your breast.

For example, if you’re beginning with a B cup size, a C-size implant may look more natural and work better with your body type than increasing your breast size to a double E.

In your initial consultation in Waukesha, your plastic surgery team can advise you whether or not to proceed with breast augmentation by weighing multiple factors, including your medical history, any previous procedures, and your age.

Although most breast augmentation patients are in their 20s and 30s, many patients in their 40s and 50s elect to have the procedure done and enjoy seamless results. It’s most common for women in their 20s or 30s to undergo breast augmentation.
