During the breast augmentation procedure, the surgeon makes an incision in the breast crease, around the nipple, or in the armpit. The implant is then inserted either behind the breast tissue or behind the chest muscle. The incision is then closed with sutures, and the patient is typically able to go home the same day.

Breast augmentation surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia and requires a recovery period of several weeks. Patients may experience some pain, swelling, and bruising after the surgery, and will need to avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for several weeks.

As with any surgical procedure, breast augmentation with implants comes with potential risks and complications, including bleeding, infection, implant rupture, and changes in sensation. It is important to discuss the potential risks and benefits of the procedure with a qualified plastic surgeon before deciding whether breast augmentation with implants is right for you.
