The procedure involves placing an implant in the breast cavity. A surgeon may position breast implants above (subglandular) or below your pectoral muscles (submuscular), dependant on the implant type and size. The surgeon will discuss the entire procedure with the patient before the surgery.

The recovery period varies for each patient. To minimize swelling, a compression garment is worn post surgery and vigorous exercise is completely off-limits within the first 3 to 4 weeks. Drainage tubes are placed to remove excess liquid during the first few days. The total healing time can be anything from 7 weeks to 10 weeks.

Most patients experience immediate enhancement in breast size and shape. The final aesthetic results become apparent as swelling subsides, typically within 3-6 months.
