Breast Enhancement in Seattle
A Good Choice for Many Women
The best candidates for breast enhancement in Seattle are in good shape physically and emotionally. Women who have a healthy self image and know they would feel even better about their figures with a more generous breast size are most likely to be delighted with their results. Good skin quality, along with a fairly stable weight, also plays a part in the outcome. Above all, having realistic expectations and following Dr. Miles' instructions are the keys to a satisfying experience.
If you've decided the procedure is a good choice for you, make another good choice when you select your surgeon. As a female plastic surgeon and part of a breast cancer surgery team, Dr. Miles is especially sensitive to the way women feel about their breasts. You can be confident that she'll understand your needs, take your lifestyle and habits into consideration and apply her skills to helping you feel great about your shape.
After Breast Enlargement Surgery
Recovery and the New You
After breast enlargement in Seattle, you can expect to feel sore for a few days as your body adjusts to the implants. You should be able to control any discomfort with prescription or over-the-counter medication. You'll also feel more tired than usual for several days. Most women return to work on average in one to two weeks and add normal activities back to their routine over two to three weeks.
You should know that with surgery there are no absolute guarantees. Scar formation can be somewhat unpredictable, for example. And a small degree of breast asymmetry is possible, especially if your breasts are asymmetrical to begin with. "After all," notes Dr. Miles, "they're sisters, not twins."
The vast majority of Dr. Miles' Alaska, Seattle, Tacoma, Olympia and Bellevue breast augmentation patients are very pleased with the outcome of their surgery. They like the way they look in and out of their clothing, and they're enthusiastic about shopping for outfits they were reluctant to wear in the past. If you'd like to join them, get started by requesting a consultation or giving us a call at 206-292-6226.
Dr. Miles Answers Your Questions
How will I know what size implant I need?
Dr. Miles has many years of experience helping women create the look they're after. She suggests you think about your goals and bring pictures, if you'd like, to the consultation. She has photos to share and she'll talk with you about implant sizes and shapes. Together you'll decide.
Will the implants rupture?
Breast implants don't last every woman a lifetime. Saline implants occasionally rupture, releasing the solution into the body where it is absorbed harmlessly. It's normally a routine procedure to replace the implant. Silicone gel implants sometimes rupture as well. When they do, the cohesive gel usually stays within the breast pocket. The FDA recommends that women with silicone implants have regular checkups to ensure their implants are intact.
Are silicone implants really safe?
Silicone implants are among the most studied of all medical devices. The FDA declared them safe and effective in 2006 after finding no evidence of major complications.
Will I be able to breastfeed after surgery?
After breast enlargement, most women are able to breastfeed.
Will I still have sensation in my nipples?
The risk of diminished nipple sensation is small. Dr. Miles takes great care with her incisions to prevent this from happening, but a small fraction of patients will experience a change in sensation.
