What Can I Expect During a Breast Augmentation Procedure With Dr. Lofman?
Once you choose a breast augmentation plan that will meet and exceed your expectations, Dr. Lofman makes your experience the most comfortable and enjoyable process available in Michigan. Dr. Lofman’s commitment to his patients includes advising them of the steps involved in the breast augmentation process, all of which aim to bring the highest level of service, support, and satisfaction. While your breast augmentation will be unique to you, here are some general steps you can expect.
Before Surgery
Plan on arriving at the hospital or surgery center approximately an hour before your procedure. After our team has welcomed you and checked you in, Dr. Lofman will ensure you are comfortable, answer any last questions, review details, and perform surgical markings. Once you are resting comfortably under general anesthesia, Dr. Lofman will begin your Oakland County breast augmentation.
During Surgery
According to the procedural plan created during your consultation with Dr. Lofman, he will begin by creating small incisions in the creases underneath each breast or along the border of the areola to place your breast implants.
Dr. Lofman often uses the no-touch Keller Funnel method for inserting breast implants, which allows for smaller incisions and scars and reduces the chances of breast implant contamination or capsular contracture.
Recovery
Breast augmentations are an outpatient surgery. You’ll need someone to drive you home and stay with you for at least 24 to 48 hours. Dr. Lofman may prescribe you pain medication.
For approximately three months following your breast augmentation, you will need to wear a support bra full-time to provide support to your breasts and minimize swelling.
Breast Augmentation Results
Most patients notice an immediate improvement to their overall figure following breast augmentation, including fuller, more symmetrical breasts. Some patients experience bruising and swelling that temporarily obscures their results. These side effects will gradually resolve as you heal, allowing the new contours to become more noticeable. However, swelling may take up to six months to fully resolve.
You will get long-lasting results from your Michigan breast augmentation by maintaining your healthy diet and exercise routine. Breast implants are not lifelong devices, and you should consider getting them replaced every decade or so.
