Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation Q&A

‍

What is breast augmentation?

‍

Breast augmentation is a type of surgery to increase or even out the size of your breasts using implants. You can get several different types of implants, including saline or silicone. Dr. Hiers can help you compare the different types and choose the one that aligns with your preferences.

‍

There are different incision types for breast augmentation, too. Dr. Hiers typically tries to place the incisions so they’re easy to conceal, such as in the under breast area or around your areola.

‍

This procedure is usually done under general anesthesia. In any case, Dr. Hiers makes sure you know exactly what to expect during your surgery and how long you can anticipate recovery to take. The surgery itself takes only an hour or two.

‍

‍

Which other breast surgeries can I get?

‍

Dr. Connie Hiers Plastic Surgery & Med Spa provides a few other breast surgeries. Based on your personal goals, you can get:

Breast reduction

‍

Breast reduction removes some of the volume of your breasts. It can treat gynecomastia, reduce back pain, or make your breast size smaller based on your preference.
‍

‍

Breast lift

‍

You can get a breast lift with your augmentation or by itself. This surgery restores your breasts’ perkiness.
‍

‍

Fat Transfer to Breasts

‍

In addition to a lift, augmentation, or reduction, we also offer fat transfers to the breasts to help create a fuller appearance by removing fat from other areas of the body and adding it to breasts.

‍

‍

How should I prepare for breast augmentations and other breast surgeries?

‍

Dr. Hiers gives you detailed instructions on how to prepare for your upcoming breast surgery. The first and most important step is to book a consultation at Dr. Connie Hiers Plastic Surgery & Med Spa so Dr. Hiers can make sure you’re a good candidate and plan your surgery based on your goals. She then advises you to:

• Stop smoking
• Limit or avoid alcohol consumption
• Follow a nutritional diet
• Stop taking certain medications
• Make arrangements for a ride to and from the clinic
• Request time off work for healing

If you have any questions about the time leading up to your surgery or the healing period afterward, Dr. Hiers can answer them in detail.
