PATIENT EDUCATION
The entire breast augmentation process will take around 3 hours. You can expect to be in surgery for only half of that time, with the other portion spent receiving anesthesia and preparing to go home. Naturally, if breast augmentation is combined with any other treatment such as a breast lift, fat transfer, or mommy makeover, then your process will take longer. Dr. Malek or can give you a better sense of your exact procedure time during your private consultation.
Thanks to Dr. Malek’s meticulously precise and conservative approach, scarring is greatly minimized after breast augmentation. Incisions are placed in such a manner that they are mostly inconspicuous later on. Most patients will have a 1-2 inch scar across the inframammary fold, although incisions may also be placed in the armpits or around the nipples. In the case of the latter, scarring is well-camouflaged by the darker pigmentation of the areolas.
It’s common to notice temporary changes in nipple or breast sensation following breast augmentation. Most patients gradually regain normal sensitivity within a few weeks to a few months as the nerves heal. While a small percentage may experience longer-lasting or permanent changes, this is uncommon, especially when your procedure is performed by a highly experienced, board-certified plastic surgeon.
Yes. Many women with tuberous breast characteristics undergo breast augmentation combined with corrective techniques. Dr. Malek is highly skilled in addressing the unique challenges of tuberous breast anatomy, including releasing constricted tissue and reshaping the breast base to create a fuller, more natural contour.
Dr. Malek will take great care to preserve your milk ducts during surgery, ensuring that your breastfeeding ability remains fully intact. They will do this by choosing an under-the-muscle approach and an inframammary fold incision location. If this is a concern for you, be sure to let the doctor know during your consultation.
To support optimal healing and avoid irritation around the incision sites, it's generally recommended to wait a minimum of six weeks before wearing underwire bras. Dr. Malek advises patients to transition gradually based on their individual recovery progress. During the early stages, soft, supportive bras without underwire are ideal.
Yes, like any surgical procedure, breast augmentation carries potential risks. These may include infection, implant rupture, changes in nipple or breast sensation, and capsular contracture. However, under the care of a board-certified plastic surgeon like Dr. Malek, who uses advanced techniques and top-tier implant materials, the likelihood of complications is significantly reduced.
Breast implants are not lifetime devices. The average lifespan of an implant is 10 to 15 years, although they can last longer. Periodic check-ups with your surgeon are recommended to assess the condition of your implants.
