Incision type, as well as implant placement, are discussion points that will need to be made before surgery. During the procedure, the chosen incision is created, and the implant will be placed in its position. There are a couple of methods that may be used for implant placement. These are either submuscular placement (under the pec muscle) or submammary/subglandular placement (over the pec muscle). Where to place the breast implant depends on numerous factors, including the size and type of implant, as well as the expertise of Dr. Stalder. Regardless of the incision, scarring is usually minimal. Placement and location are based on your body type, implant size, and lifestyle.

Cosmetic breast surgery is performed as an outpatient surgery using general anesthesia. Following the incision, the chosen implant will be moved through it, deposited into a surgically created pocket, and then fitted into its proper position. Following the placement of the implant, the incision is carefully secured with skin adhesives or sutures. Each patient will be taken to a private recovery space and carefully monitored before release. You will be sent home wearing a compression garment to assist with swelling. Several days after surgery, the swelling will start to dissipate, and the breasts will begin to feel normal as they get used to their new position. Many patients can return to normal activities within a few days; however, physical exertion, such as exercise, should be delayed for roughly 6 – 8 weeks. This surgery results in gorgeous outcomes that appear normal and natural. This procedure oftentimes can be life-changing for many patients, offering them the opportunity to feel more self-assured.
