This patient was able to return to work the day following the procedure.
This may in part have been because the procedure was done under local anesthesia.
The result is a nice improvement in the shape of her chest.
She looks very natural due to a good size match between the implants and her body frame.

Example before surgery immediately after and 3 months after implant surgery
This patient is the mother of several young children in her early 30s.
She chose larger 375cc implants that project in order to obtain more breast lift.
Her result immediately post-operatively is not impressive as the implants are high as expected.
However, after 3 months, the implants have settled into a better position.
Her projection is good and the need for a breast lift following the placement of the implants can be delayed.
If you have questions about any of these results, we will be happy to discuss things with you.
