A major cosmetic surgery procedure such as breast augmentation will involve a series of steps. Different surgical techniques are available to perform this procedure, but the choice of technique will not make a difference to your overall surgery steps. Your surgeon will customize the procedure to meet your unique anatomical and cosmetic needs.

During your pre-op consultation, your surgeon will explain all the procedure steps to you. Once you are more familiar with how the breast implant procedure is performed, you will feel more confident and will be able to make the right decisions. 

Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthias Solomon provides breast augmentation surgery to patients in Dallas, Frisco, Sherman, Texas, and surrounding locations.

 

Anesthesia

Once you are moved to the surgery room, you will be placed under anesthesia. Breast implant plastic surgery may be performed using general anesthesia, which will be administered by an anesthesiologist or a qualified nurse anesthetist. They will remain present in the operating room throughout the surgery to monitor your response.

Nausea, grogginess, and other mild side effects of anesthesia may linger on for a few hours, after which you may be allowed to go home. You should have someone who can safely drive you back home. You also may require aftercare for the first one or two days. 

 

Placing the Incisions

Following anesthesia, your surgeon will place incisions in discreet locations to reduce subsequent scarring. The location for the incisions could be under the breast fold, in the underarm area, around the areola lines, or even in the navel area in exceptional cases. 

During your initial consultation and surgical planning, the surgeon will determine the location and size of the incisions. They will take into account your breast anatomy, the size and type implants selected, and your personal cosmetic goals. The surgeon will obtain your inputs at every step during the breast implant plastic surgery planning.

 

Implant Placement

Your surgeon may place the breast implants below the chest muscle or above it, depending on the surgical plan. They will determine the implant placement after assessing the implant size and your unique breast anatomy. They will discuss with you the pros and cons of each placement option so that you can make the best choices. 

 

Incision Closure

Once your breast implants have been placed and adjusted into position in the breast tissue, the surgeon will close the incisions using traditional or dissolvable sutures. Your surgeon may place temporary drain tubes under the incision areas to collect excess fluid. You should keep the incision site clean and dry to reduce your infection risks during recovery. 

 

Bandages and Surgical Bra

After the surgical procedure is completed, your surgeon will wrap the incision site in bandages. In the next few days, they will replace the bandages with a surgical bra, which you must wear for several weeks to provide extra support to the breasts. Make sure you follow the post-operative care instructions during your recovery period for best results.

Cosmetic surgery procedures are often complex and should only be performed by a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon, who is preferably board certified. The surgeon should be able to utilize the principles of both science and art in order to create results that are not only safe and sustainable, but also aesthetically appealing and natural looking.

You should freely ask questions during your initial consultation with the surgeon and make a decision about your procedure only when you are fully satisfied with their answers. Board certified plastic surgeon Dr. Matthias Solomon provides cosmetic, plastic and reconstructive surgery to patients in Dallas, Frisco, Sherman, Texas, and surrounding locations.

 

Why Select a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon?

Dr. Solomon is board certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery (ABPS), which is the only plastic surgery board with recognition from the American Board of Medical Specialties. The board follows a stringent selection process, only awarding it coveted certification to a small number of surgeons every year.

Once you have chosen to work with a board certified plastic surgeon, you can feel assured that the surgeon would have undergone a certain minimum number of years of training specifically in the field of plastic surgery, in addition to their general surgery training.

ABPS certified plastic surgeons will typically invest in high quality medical standards and best practices, follow the latest surgical techniques, pursue continuing education, and abide by the current safety protocols to provide their patients with safe and outstanding surgical results.

 

Customization in Plastic Surgery

The dedicated Dr. Solomon believes in individualizing all cosmetic surgery in order to address your unique anatomical and aesthetic requirements and develop the best possible outcomes. The face, breast and body characteristics of every patient are distinct. Your surgeon should account for these differences and incorporate your personal cosmetic goals in the customized surgery plan. 

The judicious Dr. Solomon will never follow a ‘one-size-fits-all’ or ‘cookie-cutter’ approach to surgery. He will take time to evaluate your health condition, body structure, and cosmetic needs as well as encourage you to share your innate aesthetic aspirations. He will create a detailed and personalized surgical plan based on these inputs.

Dr. Solomon carefully balances the principles of art and science in a way that will enable you to achieve excellent results from your plastic surgery that are not only cosmetically appealing, but also predictable and natural looking.

 

Personal Characteristics 

While safety and aesthetic outcomes are vital considerations in any plastic surgery procedure, it is also important that you feel completely comfortable with your surgeon and have a relationship of total trust. The decision to undergo a cosmetic procedure is a personal one.

You should work with a surgeon who respects your privacy and pays attention to your personal cosmetic goals and concerns. At the time of the pre-op consultation, the surgeon should ask you about your goals and expectations, and discuss the treatment options that may be best for you. 

A responsible surgeon will also never put pressure on you to undergo more surgery that you actually require. Cosmetic surgeon Dr. Matthias Solomon receives patients from Dallas, Frisco, Sherman, Texas, and nearby areas for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery procedures.
