Surgery is only the first step in breast augmentation. Your body needs time to heal and your implants can take up to three to six months to settle as scar tissue develops around them to hold them into place. In order to achieve the best results possible, special care must be taken with your breasts in the days and weeks following the procedure.
While you should always consult your surgeon directly for instructions, the following in a guide to help you care for your breasts during your recovery period.

WHAT IS BREAST INVOLUTION?Breast involution is a term used to describe a phenomenon wherein glandular tissue (the tissue that produces milk) progressively diminishes while a similar amount of fat increases. When this process occurs it leads to the loss of almost all of the breast’s functional structures. The end result of glandular loss or atrophy is a fattier and less shapely breast – the opposite of perky breasts.POSTPARTUM INVOLUTION OF THE BREASTSInvolution is common with aging, but can also be triggered through the hormonal changes of pregnancy. During the time when a woman is pregnant, the breasts begin to prepare […]
Periareolar (Donut) Breast LiftThe periareolar (“donut” or Benelli) technique is suitable for the treatment of mild to moderate ptosis (classified as grade I or II) and is the least invasive form of breast lift. Your surgeon performs the periareolar technique by removing excess tissue from the area that surrounds the areola. This is carried out through incisions made in a donut-shape (hence the technique’s nickname), but, in cases where extra lift is required, extra tissue may also be removed from the top of the areola. Your surgeon then lifts the nipple and areola before stitching the residual skin to the […]

What is Tuberous Breast Deformity and Hypoplasia?
Tuberous breast deformity is a developmental condition. During the breast developmental phase, an aberration occurs that causes a constricting ring to grow around the base of the breast. This ring keeps the breast from developing properly, stopping its horizontal and/or vertical expansion. The extra pressure from this process causes the breast tissue to herniate and move toward the area of the nipple/areola. The end result of this process is misshapen breasts, large areolas and irregular nipples, known as tuberous breasts. This problem can range greatly in severity. Some patients with minor tuberous breast deformity […]
Transumbilical breast augmentation is different from other forms of breast augmentation, in that it doesn’t require an incision made either around the areola (periarolar), under the breast (inframammary) or within the armpit (transaxillary). Rather, the incision for transumbilical breast augmentation is made at the navel. Once the small incision is made, a small path is cut under the skin toward the breasts to allow for the insertion of a long flexible tube called an endoscope. The breast implants are positioned in the chest via this tube. While it is easier to place the implants over the muscle using this method, […]
