What should we expect?
The procedure can be done in a hospital outpatient or at a surgery center. It is likely that you will go home within the same day. It's unlikely that you'll need to be hospitalized for the procedure.

Breast augmentation may be performed with local anesthesia. This means you are awake while your breasts are being numb. In most cases the procedure is performed during general anesthesia, in which you are asleep during the surgery. Your plastic surgeon will discuss various options of anesthesia with you.

During the process
Your plastic surgeon will create one cut (incision) to insert the breast implant.

The crease that runs under your breast (inframammary)
Under your arm (axillary)
Your Nipple (periareolar).
After cutting an incision, the surgeon will cut your breast tissue from the connective tissue and muscles that line your chest. This creates a pocket between or just in front of the outermost muscle of your chest wall (pectoral muscle). The surgeon will insert the implant into the pocket, then position it behind your nipple.

Once inserted the saline implant can be filled with sterile sodium water. Silicone implants are filled with silicone gel.

After the implant is placed, the surgeon will close it with stitches (sutures) after which they place a bandage on the site using surgical tape and skin adhesive.

After the procedure
After surgery, soreness and swelling can be common. There is a possibility of bruising, too. Expect the scars to fade with time but not disappear completely.

It is possible to wear an athletic bra or compression bandage during your healing. This will give you extra support and a better position for your breast implants. You might also be prescribed pain medication by your doctor.

Follow the advice of your surgeon on returning to regular activities. If you don't hold an occupation that is physically demanding and you're not a professional, you could be able to return to work within a few weeks. At least for two weeks refrain from activities that cause a rise in your pulse or blood pressure. While your breasts are healing be aware that they will be sensitive to physical contact or sudden movements.

You'll have to visit an expert surgeon if your surgeon used sutures that don't absorb or place drainage tubes close to your breasts.

If you feel warmth and redness in your breast or you are suffering from fever, you may have an infection. Get in touch with your surgeon immediately. Also, inform your doctor in case you experience breathlessness or chest pain.
