Breast Augmentation: Breast Enhancement in Columbus, Ohio
Women today know they do not need to settle for less, especially when it comes to their breasts. If your breast size or shape makes you feel insecure or incomplete, if your breasts have lost the volume you used to enjoy, or if you feel your figure could use a boost, you may be an ideal candidate for a breast augmentation. Breast augmentation is a safe, proven procedure to surgically insert breast implants. Who better to perform the procedure than a female plastic surgeon?
Why have a breast implant augmentation?
- To achieve fuller breasts
- To recapture pre-pregnancy breast size
- To add volume following weight loss
- To achieve natural symmetry
- To balance your overall figure
If any of these conditions describe you, contact us to schedule a meeting with Dr. Christine Sullivan, a board certified Plastic Surgeon specializing in breast and body procedures. During your consultation, you will share your goals, ask questions about the procedure and recovery, view before and after pictures, and get to try on a sizing bra and implant sizers. Lifestyle plays a large part in the size you choose, and Dr. Sullivan will help you determine the size that best suits you.
Procedure:
The technique used for breast augmentation surgery depends on the results you are seeking. Dr. Sullivan can make the incision in several different places. She will discuss the location that best suits you during your consultation.
During breast enlargement surgery, Dr. Sullivan creates a pocket, typically below the pectoral muscle, to house the implant. Then, using careful and sterile techniques, she inserts the implant into the pocket. Once the incisions are sutured, your healing begins.
At The Sullivan Centre, we always put safety first. Our ambulatory surgical center has been licensed by the State of Ohio and accredited by the Accreditation Association for Ambulatory Health Care (AAAHC). We have achieved a near zero percent infection rate. Furthermore, we only use board certified anesthesiologists for all of our operations.
The breast augmentation procedure is performed at The Sullivan Centre and will take approximately one and a half hours under anesthesia. The breast augmentation is performed on an outpatient basis, therefore you can recover in the comfort of your own home. Most women can return to work in one week and can resume normal exercise in a few weeks.
All individual pre and post-operative needs will be discussed with our nursing team during your comprehensive pre-operative appointment.
Post-Op Results:
Dr. Christine Sullivan prescribes the use of a pain pump, a tiny catheter that is inserted directly into your surgical site to deliver medication to numb the surgical site for the first 72 hours, making your recovery more comfortable while promoting quicker healing. Following your breast augmentation surgery:
- You will no longer need padded bras.
- Your new natural-looking curves will allow you more fashion choices.
- You may experience greater confidence.
Most women are able to return to work after one week and resume exercise after four weeks. The specific risks and possible complications of the breast augmentation procedure will be discussed at your consultation.
Associated Procedures:
- Mastopexy (breast lift) is sometimes recommended to improve the overall position of your breasts. This procedure is performed at the same time.
