Dr. Krauklis on Breast Augmentation Surgery and Breastfeeding
If your breasts seem too small or asymmetrical, or if you wish to restore lost volume—for example, after breastfeeding or significant weight loss—breast augmentation is the best solution. Silicone breast implants are placed under the breast tissue or muscle. Modern breast implants come with a long warranty period; they do not pose a risk of tumors, are non-allergenic, and do not interfere with pregnancy—a woman can still breastfeed her baby.
The incision is made along a natural crease under the breasts, in the armpits, or around the areola, so the scars are almost invisible. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia; patients must stay overnight at the clinic after surgery. The stitches are removed on the seventh day after surgery, and an elastic bandage must be worn for the first week. The cost of breast augmentation depends on the choice of implants.
Breast augmentation may be a suitable option if you want to improve the size, shape, or proportions of your breasts.
