I have never known a surgeon to perform a full breast augmentation without general anasthesia. Minor surgeries I've known to be done that way (swapping of implants, etc.), but a surgery as major as a full augmentation (that, depending on the placement, may require you to cut into the muscle) requires the use of an OR and an anesthesiologist.

Breast augmentations usually take approximately 1 hour (2 tops). The patient usually goes home the same day, but their stay in the recovery room can vary depending on how they react coming out of anesthesia. Recovery also varies for many people. Some find themselves up and about after only a few days--for others it takes longer. It also depends on whether the implant is placed above or below the muscle. For submuscular implants, the recovery period is longer and more painful as the muscle requires time to heal.

Breast implant surgery can be performed on an outpatient (not in the hospital) basis or in a hospital. It can be done under local anesthesia (only the breast area is numbed) or under general anesthesia (put to sleep or not aware of having surgery).

Breast implant surgery can last from one to several hours depending on your particular case (your condition, implant choice, incision site, implant placement, etc.).

If the surgery is done in a hospital, the length of the hospital stay will vary according to the type of surgery, the development of any postoperative (after surgery) complications, and your general health. The length of the hospital stay may also depend on the type of coverage your insurance provides.

Mine was an hour. I went from a B cup to a D cup. I had to be at the hospital/surgery center 90 mins before surgery. I was in surgery for an hour. I was in recovery for 90 mins. Then they sent me home. It is a great procedure. The results are great too. Recovery is slow and somewhat painful. The recovery depends on the person and their pain tolorence. If you take your pain medicine on time.. it's not bad. What is hard is not being able to raise your arms for 4 days. And having to sleep on your back for a week. BUt it is worth it if you have no boobs and you want bigger boobs.

How long after breast enlargment surgery will the breast soften up?

I'm going to guess you mean how long until the breast begins to soften a bit after surgery. My guess would be a few weeks, once the body has finished encapsulating the implants and the swelling has gone down. Keep in mind though depending on what implant was chosen and how much it was filled will change how the breast feels.

Can women with breast implants breastfeed successfully?

Yes, women with breast implants can breastfeed successfully. Breast implants should not interfere with breastfeeding as long as certain precautions are taken. Breast implants can be placed in several locations in the breast, such as on top of or underneath the chest muscle. The placement of the implant can affect the ability to breastfeed successfully. Breastfeeding is more successful when the implant is placed underneath the chest muscle, which avoids interfering with the milk ducts. In some cases, breast implant surgery (mufameditourism) may damage the nerves and milk ducts in the breast. This can make breastfeeding more difficult. However, modern breast implant surgery techniques are designed to minimize damage to the milk ducts and nerves. It’s also important to note that breastfeeding success depends on many factors, including the infant’s ability to latch and suckle properly, the mother’s milk supply, and whether the infant is fed other types of milk or solid food. If you have concerns about breastfeeding with breast implants, it’s important to consult a doctor. They can provide advice regarding breastfeeding with implants. Some women may choose to have their implants removed prior to becoming pregnant to decrease any potential risks.


Huge lump in your breast and been told that the nhs will remove it as you are not happy will they put inplants in your breast if you ask them to?

Yes, but it will delay surgery as they have to get the PCT to aprove funding for the implant ( £1000+) Get it all moving quickly, as you want the lump out. But...........seriously think long and hard about implants. I had them done and have had very bad health since. Bed ridden somedays :(

Does dental implant surgery hurt?

Dental implant surgery is considered one of the most reliable and long-lasting ways to replace missing teeth. However, since this surgery involves inserting an artificial tooth root into the jawbone, it can sometimes cause some level of pain. Many dental patients worry about the level of pain they may experience after this procedure, as well as how long this pain will last.


What are some of the dangers of breast implants surgery?

Breast implants have many serious side effects. Remember this is major surgery that is very invasive. Of course a woman electing to have this surgery done has to weigh the possibility of common surgical complications, the life span of the implants, and of course the hardening that might occur around the implants. But another very important question comes to mind especially in context of this forum. What are the possible negative side effects to the woman being able to successfully nurse her future children? The first thing to consider is that at the very best, breast implants will only have a minimal negative affect on breastfeeding. If the surgeon is not careful, the milk ducts can be compromised. This of course will result in a diminished capacity to feed your baby. The manner of how the surgeon inserts the implant is also very important. Some implants are actually inserted through the nipple and then filled. This will also damage the milk ducts and nerves that are vital to nursing. I don't want to sound too negative about breast implants after all, everyone appreciates a full nicely shaped breast. But if a young woman wants to change how her breasts naturally look, then I would suggest that she wait until she has a baby. And then as long as she is nursing, she will have naturally full beautiful breasts filled with the most wonderful breast enhancer ever made.
