The breasts can be an integral part of a woman’s self-image. As a woman, you may feel your breasts are not proportional to the rest of your figure. You may have lost volume and shape after pregnancy and breastfeeding. After years, maybe decades, of dissatisfaction with your breasts, you may be ready for a breast augmentation consultation.
Breast Augmentation Surgery Procedure
Breast augmentation with Dr. Ferraro is usually an outpatient procedure. He makes the incision and then creates a pocket to accept the implant either above or below the pectoral muscle. As mentioned, the required incision will be somewhat longer with silicone than with saline, since saline implants are filled once they are placed. After checking for symmetry and position, Dr. Ferraro then closes the incisions, using glue where possible to minimize scarring.
Breast Augmentation Recovery
Recovery from augmentation surgery is not difficult. For the first two or three days there will be some pain and discomfort. Most patients only need to miss around a week of work. Low- or non-impact exercise can resume in one to two weeks, but impact exercise needs to wait one month. Any specific upper body exercise can resume in six weeks.
During your recovery, you may think your implants are sitting too high on your chest. They may also feel firmer and appear larger than you expected. This is because the implants require a period of settling into their final position, a process that can take up to three months. At that point, your new profile should be pleasing with long-term results.

Should I Be Concerned About The Latest News I’m Hearing About Breast Implants
No, you should not be concerned. Silicone implants are safe and FDA approved, however, Dr. Ferraro does not use the implants with a textured surface. Further research has to be completed to see if the problems are associated with these implants are true. In the meantime, all patients will receive smooth walled implants that are completely safe.
Will I Have To Remove The Implants In Ten Years.
No there is no evidence to remove an implant that is doing well. Dr. Ferraro has not removed one silicone implants since they became FDA approved in ten years. If the implants are leaking they should be removed and your warranty should assist you to pay for this surgery. The leak rate is roughly 7% in ten years.
How Long Do I Have To Wear The Garment?
In general, the longer you wear the garment the better your result. Most patients wear the garments for 4-6 weeks but some use it longer and have the best results.
