Breast Augmentation In Northern Michigan

What Is Breast Augmentation?

Unlike breast lift or reduction procedures, breast augmentation aims to enhance breast volume for a fuller, more youthful appearance. This cosmetic surgery involves placing FDA-approved implants behind the natural breast tissue or chest muscle to achieve desired volume. These implants, made of saline or silicone gel, come with warranties from reputable manufacturers.

Typically performed on an outpatient basis with general anesthesia, breast augmentation usually lasts around 45 minutes. The incision, usually less than 2 inches long, is discreetly hidden in the breast crease or along the areola border. Recovery time is typically brief, with most patients returning to normal activities within a week of their breast augmentation in Traverse City.

Breast Augmentation Procedure

During your breast augmentation surgery, you will undergo general anesthesia, typically lasting one to two hours. Our surgeons prioritize minimizing scars, often placing them inconspicuously under the crease of the breasts, known as an inframammary incision. This incision is made along the inframammary fold, allowing easy access to the breast pocket for implant placement. The small incision is carefully sutured with absorbable stitches, eliminating the need for removal, and the resulting scar is discreetly hidden beneath the natural crease of the breast.

Following the procedure, you will return home the same day, although you may feel drowsy. It’s essential to have a responsible adult accompany you home and stay with you for 24 hours after surgery.
