Breast Augmentation: The Procedure
The operation itself is quite easy and the recovery period is fast and just slightly uncomfortable. The surgeon makes strategically placed incisions unto the area and slips in the saline or silicone filled sacs. The choice of where the breast implants are placed is either under the muscle or over it. One of the advantages of placing the implant over the muscle is the more natural feel, appearance and movement of the breast. On the other hand, placing it in this position might affect breast milk production. It can also be more prone to deflation and rupture since it is in a more vulnerable position. Under the muscle placement, can make the implant or breast implant sizes not as noticeable unless a larger size is used. This position is usually safer from deflation and rupture.
