The breasts are a fundamental part of female identity, it is very common to want to change the size, shape or position of the breasts to project a more natural appearance. Potential candidates for this surgery should consult with Dr. Flores about the most favorable options, risks and anticipated results with the help of the 3D Crisalix simulator.

​

Key points:

​

• Anesthesia: General vs. regional anesthesia

• Surgery duration: 1 to 2 hours approx.

• Hospitalization time: Ambulatory

• Discomfort: Depending on each patient, it can be moderate to severe, controlled with pain relievers

• Remarks: The inflammation can last up to 6 weeks, depending on the implant placement. Possible bruising and numbness.

• Final result: 3 months post operation

• Duration of results: Long-term lasting

 

It is extremely important that patients talk to Dr. Flores about their motivations and expectations for breast surgery. These procedures are aimed at improving the appearance and proportion of the breasts, not achieving perfection. For example, enlarging the breasts will not improve stretch marks on the skin, nor will it change the position of the nipple. A partially sagging breast may improve with implant placement, but that improvement may be only temporary. And it may require a mastopexy procedure to lift sagging breasts .

​

It is necessary to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the different surgical options, including the size of the implants, textures and shapes. Incision site and implant position. The more clarity there is about the objectives and openness about the concerns, the greater the possibility of being satisfied with the results.

​

Getting used to the new look and feel of the implants can take some time. They feel a little firmer than the natural bust. The implants are not permanent and will need to be replaced at some point, the duration of them will depend on each patient.

What can i expect

The breast is made up of milk ducts and glands surrounded by fatty tissue that give it shape and texture. Located below the breast is the pectoralis major muscle. The incisions can be made under the breast in the inframammary fold, at the edge of the nipple areola, or in the armpit to later place the implant. This procedure can be performed using general or regional anesthesia.
