The first step is to consult a trusted plastic surgeon. By doing this, you will have proper guidance and answers to all your doubts and questions.

Obviously, surgery using breast implants requires a careful preliminary investigation of the health of the patient to assess critical pre- and post-operative conditions, these conditions being largely responsible for the overall success of the procedure. Post-operative recovery takes place in the recovery room for about two hours and after returning home, there must be a rest period of 5 to 10 days, without too much effort or physical exercise. Your surgeon will give you an appointment for a check-up a few days after the surgery and several other consultations during the first year, usually 1, 3, 6 and 12 months after the implant placement.

After an in-depth, meticulous assessment, your surgeon will suggest the best size and type of implant for your figure. A variety of models and sizes is available

Fibrous shell: it is vital that a physiological shell should form around a breast implant. This is a natural reaction by the body that forms a sort of membrane around any foreign body in order to isolate it off.

Distinction is made between four stages of firmness from normal to the most extreme forms of shell with the breast becoming hard, immobile and sometimes painful.

Rupture: this risk is exacerbated by factors such as violent shock and the age of the implant. When a silicone gel-filled breast implant breaks, the gel may stay inside the fibrous shell that surrounds the implant and go unnoticed.

Alternatively, it may diffuse out across the shell and inflamed patches of lymph tissue may even form. If a breast implant ruptures, it will be surgically removed and the inflammation will regress.

Every woman is unique and everyone will have a different experience of pregnancy. Your breasts will swell and undergo all the usual changes in pregnancy. The extent of swelling will vary from one woman to another as well as depending on the size of the implant.

First of all, get in touch with your surgeon who is the person most familiar with your medical history and who is in the best position to answer your questions.

Immediately after the procedure, the breasts will be swollen, firm, painful to the touch and relatively immobile, i.e. they will look unnatural. After about a month, they will be much softer and more mobile, and the swelling will start to go down. Your breasts will not take on their definitive appearance for six months to a year.
