Is a Preservation Breast Augmentation Painful?

A preservation breast augmentation is a common choice because it is not as painful as other types of breast augmentation. You will not feel any pain during the surgery because you will be under general anesthesia. You will feel some pain and discomfort during recovery, such as soreness, swelling, and tightness, but this can be managed with the pain medication prescribed by Dr. Arslanian.

How Many Appointments Will I Need?

Preservation breast augmentations require several appointments. Patients must attend an initial consultation, a surgery, and several follow-up appointments where their healing progress will be tracked, stitches will be taken out, and they will be advised on when they can return to activities like exercise and lifting.

How Long Until I See Results?

You will be able to see immediate results the day of your preservation breast augmentation surgery in the Atlanta metro area, as the implant will be fully inside you. Swelling will gradually subside over 3-4 weeks. They’ll seem higher than normal at first, but they will gradually begin to drop into place over a few months. Patients generally see final results after 3-6 months.

Can I Combine a Preservation Breast Augmentation with Other Procedures?

Patients often combine their preservation breast augmentation with other procedures to achieve more comprehensive results, reduce the number of times they have to endure a recovery period, and often cut costs due to a single use of the facility and anesthesia. Combined procedures include: Arm Lift Breast Lift Liposuction Tummy Tuck

What Are the Risks Associated with a Preservation Breast Augmentation?

Every procedure is associated with some risks, including a breast augmentation. It’s important to choose a highly experienced plastic surgeon like Dr. Arslanian for your safety and to achieve results that match your goals. Here are some risks to be aware of: Infection Temporary swelling or bruising Bleeding ( hematoma ) Capsular contracture Implant rupture/leakage Scarring Implant malposition Changes in nipple/breast sensation

Introduction

Preservation Breast Augmentation

People’s breasts come in countless different shapes, sizes, and firmness. At Arslanian Plastic Surgery in Atlanta, we help individuals looking to enhance the volume and shape of their breasts while preserving their natural breast tissue, nerves, ligaments, and muscles. In contrast to a traditional breast augmentation, which creates fuller breasts and immediate results, a preservation breast augmentation is more effective at balancing aesthetic enhancement while preserving the natural shape, resulting in a quicker recovery and more natural-looking results.

Dr. Brian Arslanian and the entire team at Arslanian Plastic Surgery look forward to helping you achieve your aesthetic goals and boost your confidence through a preservation breast augmentation.

Gain Confidence

What is a Preservation Breast Augmentation?

A preservation breast augmentation is a modern surgical technique designed to minimize trauma to the breasts while enhancing the shape and size with implants. A pocket is created for the implant using an inflatable balloon or gentle dissection beneath the connective tissue layer (fascia), rather than directly cutting through it or going beneath the muscle. This results in less trauma and bleeding to the tissues, maintains natural movement, sensation, and strength, and shortens the recovery period. Natural-looking results of a preservation breast augmentation aim for soft, natural contours and reduce the likelihood of issues like “bottoming out” or “rippling.”

What Are the Benefits of a Preservation Breast Augmentation?

Preservation breast augmentations have several benefits that patients in Atlanta enjoy, including:

Natural-looking, enhanced breasts that match your silhouette
Soft breasts for an authentic feeling due to the preservation of your natural breast structure, muscles, and tissues
Quicker recovery period with less discomfort due to the minimally invasive technique
Reduced the likelihood of risks like capsular contracture and implant malposition
Reduced likelihood of scarring due to smaller incisions
Matches active lifestyles who can resume normal routines quickly
Boosted confidence

Who Are the Best Candidates For a Preservation Breast Augmentation?

First Steps

What’s the First Step?

hello gorgeous interior | Arslanian Plastic Surgery Atlanta Before & After Plastic Surgery Results | male procedure

All of our procedures at Arslanian Plastic Surgery require candidates to attend a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Arslanian at our office in Atlanta. During your consultation, you will be able to discuss your aesthetic goals, medical history, concerns, and ask specific questions about the procedure. Based on this conversation and a physical examination of your breasts, Dr. Arslanian will determine if you are a good candidate for a preservation breast augmentation. You’ll also work together to create a treatment plan that fits your schedule, an estimated quote, and a payment plan.

What to Expect on the Day of Preservation Breast Augmentation Surgery

Preservation breast augmentation surgery at the Arslanian Plastic Surgery in Atlanta is a relatively easy day with minimal discomfort. Here’s what you can expect:

General anesthesia, where you will be completely asleep
Small incisions to create a pocket
The implant is inserted in the subglandular or subfascial plane using a cone-shaped device to preserve your muscles and tissues.
Stitches, surgical glue, surgical dressings, and a compression bra will be placed on you to minimize scarring and give your new breasts maximal support.
After your surgery, you’ll be given some time to wake up from the grogginess of the anesthesia, go over recovery instructions, and then be free to go home.

Preservation Breast Augmentation Recovery

People in Atlanta often get preservation breast augmentation because it has a quicker recovery period than a traditional breast augmentation. Patients are generally able to resume normal activities within a couple of weeks. You should avoid strenuous exercise or lifting. Our advanced technology helps us be able to preserve your natural breast tissue and muscles while using less anesthesia.

As you recover from your breast preservation augmentation, you will likely experience some mild swelling, tightness, and sensitivity around your breasts for the first few days following your surgery. Taking short walks helps keep blood circulating throughout your body. Swelling generally resolves within a week, and you can resume light activities while wearing your surgical bra to minimize the risk of injury.
