Breast Augmentation Recovery in 2009 - Faster

Breast augmentation now surpasses liposuction as the most common aesthetic surgery performed in the United States. This has prompted medical experts to devise techniques to allow patients to return to work (and normal life) quicker and easier.

Recovery from breast augmentation is generally a 2-4 week process of discomfort with an impaired range of motion affecting normal daily activities.


Newer, gentler methods used by surgeons at the operating table have been developed and incorporated at TIFM.


They involve meticulous pre-operative measuring of the chest to determine proper implant size (eliminating the extra step of inserting sizers into the surgical pocket); use of electro-cautery to divide tissue in a precise, near bloodless fashion; and avoiding all "blunt" (stretching and tearing) intra-operative maneuvers or any contact with the very sensitive ribs that is common with traditional augmentation procedures.


The result of this "extra care" is amazing. Most patients can shower and brush their hair within hours after surgery and can perform regular activities the very next day; which leads to a much less traumatic experience and a happier, satisfied patient overall!
