Breast Augmentation: What to Expect Before, During, and After Surgery

Breast augmentation remains one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in the United States, with hundreds of thousands of women choosing implants each year to enhance their figure and boost confidence. At the Pennsylvania Centre for Plastic Surgery, Dr. Scott Brenman specializes in creating natural, beautiful results tailored to each patient’s body and goals. 

If you’re considering breast augmentation in Philadelphia, it’s important to know exactly what to expect throughout the journey. Here’s a step-by-step look at the process—from your consultation to recovery and beyond. 

Your Consultation:

Every breast augmentation begins with a personalized consultation. This is your opportunity to discuss your desired size, shape, and overall aesthetic goals. Dr. Brenman will:  


– Review your medical history.

– Perform a physical examination.

– Explain your implant options (saline vs. silicone, round vs. teardrop, smooth vs. textured).

– Discuss incision techniques and placement (under the breast fold, around the areola, or through the armpit). 

By the end of your consultation, you’ll have a clear surgical plan tailored to you. 

The Surgery:
Breast augmentation surgery typically takes 1–2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. Dr. Brenman’s precise techniques minimize scarring while ensuring natural-looking results. Implants can be placed either above or beneath the chest muscle, depending on your body type and preferences. 

Recovery:
Recovery is often easier than most patients expect. Here’s a general timeline:

– First 1–3 Days: Expect soreness, swelling, and tightness. Most patients manage discomfort with prescribed medications.

– 1 Week: Many patients return to work and light activities.

– 2–3 Weeks: Bruising and swelling subside; results begin to take shape.

– 6 Weeks: You may resume more vigorous activities, including exercise. 

Dr. Brenman and his team provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. 

Long-Term Results:
With proper care, breast implants can last for many years. Regular follow-up appointments with Dr. Brenman ensure your results remain both safe and beautiful.
