Breast
Implants enhance the size of breasts using inflatable implants
filled with saline.
Lengthof time for breast implants: 1 to 2 hours.
Anesthesia: Local with sedation, or general.
In/Outpatient: Usually outpatient for breast implants.
Side Effects: Temporary soreness, swelling, change in nipple
sensation, bruising. Breast sensitive to stimulation for a few
weeks.
Risks: Lack of implant permanence -- surgical removal or replacement
of the implants may be required to treat problems, including:
deflation; the formation of scar tissue around the implant (capsular
contracture), which may cause the breast to feel tight or hard;
bleeding or infection. Increase or decrease in sensitivity of
nipples or breast skin, occasionally permanent. Mammagraphy
requires a special technique. (Note: Some women have reported
symptoms similar to those of immune disorders. Ask your doctor
about these and other FDA concerns.)
Recovery: Back to work: a few days. Physical contact with breasts:
3 to 4 weeks. Fading of scars: several months to a year or more.
Duration of
Results from breast implants: Variable. Implants may require
removal or replacement.
