financing options<\/a> with you; we work with three reputable companies that are very accommodating to our patients with favorable approvals, quick processing, and minimal red tape.<\/p>\nBreast Implant Surgery<\/h2>\n
Breast implant placement:<\/strong> Dr. Eisenberg places smooth\u00a0saline implants<\/strong>\u00a0and smooth\u00a0silicone implants<\/strong>\u00a0behind<\/em>\u00a0the pectoral (chest) muscle, not in front of it, because they look more natural. That\u2019s because the muscle blunts the part of the breast implant that peeks out of a tank top, bra or bathing suit. There is also less chance of seeing or feeling the rim of the implant.<\/p>\nThe breast implant incision:<\/strong>\u00a0Dr. Eisenberg will insert your breast implants through an incision under the breast near the crease (the inframammary fold), which will be fairly well hidden. There are fewer vital structures to go through, unlike an underarm incision, which may involve blood vessels and nerves to the arm, and an incision through the nipple, which could interfere with milk ducts and healthy breast tissue.<\/span><\/p>\nThe day of surgery:\u00a0<\/strong>Your procedure will be done in the safety of the operating room at Nazareth Hospital<\/strong>,\u00a0one of the region\u2019s top facilities, with sensitive and competent registered nurses and certified anesthesiologists. On the day of surgery, your support person can stay with you until you are transferred to the operating room. That means he or she can be by your side when you meet the anesthesiologist and when Dr. Eisenberg marks the incision site, takes pictures for you and your records, and reviews your postoperative medications and diet. Then you\u2019ll have to say goodbye \u2013 or ta-ta!<\/p>\nDr. Eisenberg has developed a medication protocol to minimize post-operative nausea and vomiting during breast implant and breast lift surgery.<\/p>\n
Breast implant surgery takes less than one hour. After surgery, you will be cared for in the recovery room by compassionate nurses until you are ready to go home later the same day. You must arrange for someone to drive you home.<\/p>\n
Recovery After Breast Implant Surgery<\/h2>\n
The first three days after surgery, women who have had children commonly say they feel like they did when their breasts were fully engorged with milk after childbirth. Women who have not had children describe the feeling as some tightness, burning or pressure. Dr. Eisenberg will prescribe medications to make you more comfortable during this period. The discomfort usually starts to ease up on the fourth day after surgery.\u00a0More than 90 percent of the patients are back to work in an office setting on the fifth day.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Three-quarters of our patients report no nausea and vomiting from the day of surgery on; the rest report minimal symptoms.<\/li>\n
- You can take a shower the day after surgery.<\/li>\n
- By the third day, many women are able to comfortably lift their children; they can also drive a car if they are not taking narcotics.<\/li>\n
- Getting back to the gym: Patients can generally return to aerobics in three weeks and upper body weightlifting in six weeks.<\/li>\n
- Your first postoperative visit is usually within a week. Your stitches are dissolvable, so there are no stitches to remove at this visit \u2014 or ever. There are no drains to be removed either; they are never used.<\/li>\n
- It may take between three and nine months for your augmented breasts to achieve their final shape, so we recommend that women wait at least eight weeks before making a major investment in new bras.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
After Breast Augmentation Surgery<\/h2>\n
Will I be able to breastfeed after I get breast implants?\u00a0<\/strong>
\nIn most cases, a breast augmentation will not interfere with breastfeeding. That\u2019s because the milk ducts are generally not disturbed during the procedure when implants are placed through an incision under the breast. However, not all women are naturally able to breastfeed, whether or not they have cosmetic breast surgery.<\/p>\nDo breast implants have to be replaced every 10 years?<\/strong>
\n<\/strong>Breast implants\u00a0only need to be replaced if they deflate (saline implants<\/strong>) or rupture (silicone implants<\/strong>), and they\u2019re not fragile. Through the years, manufacturers have increased the strength of the implant shell; in Dr. Eisenberg’s experience, only about 3 percent or less of implants break.\u00a0He\u00a0recently removed saline implants from a woman who wanted to go bigger after 23 years, and her implants looked the same as the day he put them in.<\/p>\nDo breast implants get in the way of reading a mammogram?
\n<\/strong>With over 300,000 women having breast augmentations each year, most radiologists are likely to have experience evaluating breasts with implants.\u00a0When you schedule your mammogram, it\u2019s important to let the facility know that you have breast implants. To maximize the amount of breast tissue that can be seen, the technician will gently displace (push up) the implants and will take extra views of each breast.<\/p>\nBecause Dr. Eisenberg places breast implants behind the chest muscle, the implant interferes less with your mammogram. Likewise, the placement does not interfere with a manual breast exam by you or your gynecologist.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
