Breast augmentation enlarges a woman’s breasts through the surgical placement of breast implants.  In general, it is a cosmetic procedure strictly performed to fulfill your personal desire for fuller breasts or to restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy.  Implants may also be used for reconstructive purposes to restore a breast that is lost due to mastectomy, injury or for other reasons.  In any case, breast implants allow women the choice of fuller, natural appearing breasts and a more balanced figure.

Length

1 hour or more.

Recovery

Back to work: 3 to 7 days. More strenuous activity: 2 to 3 weeks. Swelling and bruising: 3 to 6 months.

Technology

Dr Welsh uses the technique most appropriate for the individual patient and does not limit himself to only one method.  The most important thing is the outcome and what consistently results in the happiest patient.
