Breast Augmentation Explained

Breast augmentation, commonly known as “augmentation mammoplasty” or ‘boob job,” is a plastic surgery procedure used to add volume, expand breast bust size, or enhance the contour and symmetry of breasts through breast implants or a fat transfer.

Dr. Bichanich at Omni Cosmetic keep up to date with the latest breast augmentation techniques that produce consistent results and maintain a natural look and feel. Omni Cosmetic uses a combination of up-to-date procedural enhancements and state-of-the-art implant materials in our Twin Cities practice to artistically sculpt the breasts and create the preferred look you desire, with or without adding a cup size.

The breast augmentation process at Omni Cosmetic starts with a 60 minute, highly personalized patient in-person or virtual consultation. Our experienced surgeons will perform a comprehensive examination to consider your aesthetic preference, body shape, and exact breast areas to be modified. Many factors, including implant type, placement method, and breast implant size, are of great importance. Prior to your surgery, you and the surgeon will agree on the aesthetics and necessary procedures to obtain the results you want.

Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation in Minnesota?

Breast enhancement surgery is a deeply personal decision with the ability to give life-changing cosmetic results. The best candidates for breast augmentation should clearly understand the possible benefits, risks, and price. Potential candidates should also maintain reasonable expectations prior to their breast augmentation and only consider the procedure by their own choice.

Breast Augmentation Is a Top Consideration for Patients Who:

  • Desire more perky, shapely, and voluptuous breasts
  • Are physically and mentally well
  • Suffer from sagging breasts (May require breast lift + augmentation)
  • Want to correct breast asymmetry
  • Are displeased with their breast appearance or size
  • Desire breast reconstruction after breast cancer
  • Want to restore the appearance of breasts after weight loss or pregnancy
  • Want their breast to be more proportionate to their body contour

Breast Augmentation Is Not So Good for Patients Who:

  • Are pregnant or breastfeeding
  • Habitually smoke or use nicotine products (must quit six weeks before surgery).
  • Have breast cancer or an abnormal mammogram
  • Do not maintain realistic expectations for breast enhancement results

Our Twin Cities Surgical Center

Your breast enhancement surgery will be performed at Omni Cosmetic’s certified on-site Wayzata Surgical Center in Minneapolis. There, our team at Omni Cosmetic is dedicated to safety, ultimate comfort, and consistency in patient care throughout the breast augmentation process. We exclusively specialize in outpatient plastic and cosmetic surgery with a center that is fully licensed and accredited.

Anesthesia

Breast augmentation surgery is usually performed using a TIVA (Total IV Anesthesia) technique. We love this highly specialized approach because patients wake up feeling rested without usual nausea from a general anesthesia technique. Our team creates a safe environment and effectively administers the anesthesia before breast augmentation surgery.

The medications used to anesthetize are similar in composition but differ in dosage and the level of consciousness. We always place a long-acting medication in the pocket around the implant to decrease the initial pain. We also regularly use prescription-strength anti-inflammatory to ease the recovery process.

  • General Anesthesia
    • Requires ventilator
    • Renders patient into an induced coma
    • Causes patient to lose control of reflexes and the autonomic nervous system
    • Results in increased costs
  • TIVA
    • Mild dose of drugs used to block pain, reduce anxiety, and provide temporary memory loss (allows the patient to feel comfortable before and after surgery)
    • Patient remains unconscious
    • Reduced side effects such as nausea and vomiting
    • Responsive, able to follow direction or communicate with the surgeon within 5-7 minutes of the IV infusion stopping
    • Reduced risk of complication
    • Lower costs
    • Ventilation is not required, but airway support and monitoring is mandatory

Prescription Medications

Generally, breast augmentation patients are prescribed antibiotics for 7-10 days and pain medication as needed. Commonly prescribed medications will include:

  1. Prescribed pain medication
  2. Antibiotics
  3. Medication for nausea (if necessary)
  4. Anti-inflammatory (Celebrex)
  5. Numbing around the implant (Marcaine)

This list is not absolute and can vary pending on the post-op consultation results at Omni Cosmetic.

Your Breast Augmentation Consultation

At Omni Cosmetic, we understand that every patient considers breast augmentation for highly personal reasons. Every breast augmentation surgery is unique to the patient, and there is no standardized method when considering breast enhancements. There is no “one size fits all.”

At Omni Cosmetic, we strive to give each of our patients a high level of joy and satisfaction. We start with an in-depth consultation to ensure we personalize your breast enhancement design and follow the optimal course of action for you. Our surgeons will thoroughly discuss your breast augmentation goals, including implants best suited for your body type, procedural and incision options, and size specifications. Our tailored consultation ensures we accurately achieve a suitable direction for your cosmetic ideal before the breast augmentation.

During your consultation, which takes about 1-2 hours, one of our expert plastic surgeons will:

Listen to your personal motivations and learn your cosmetic goals

Perform a thorough examination

Discuss your procedure plan in detail and reasons behind every step

Open a line of communication regarding financing, implant types, and procedures

Omni Cosmetic’s approach to breast augmentation starts with open two-way communication and a comfortable environment where you may ask as many questions as you need about breast augmentation. This initial consultation is the first and most important step, so Omni Cosmetic can explore solutions to your concerns, accurately design your aesthetic vision, and plan the mechanics of your breast enhancement surgery that will ultimately lead you to improved confidence and a more balanced figure.

  • How Do I Prepare Myself for a Breast Augmentation?

    Planning a complex surgery such as breast augmentation can be overwhelming and may cause some angst. To help you relax and gain peace of mind, we focus on thoroughly educating our patients in preparation for a life-changing breast enhancement surgery.

    Before your breast augmentation, you will be asked to:

    • Procure a baseline mammogram (Patients under age 30)
    • Undergo a medical evaluation or lab testing (Hemoglobin)
    • Stop smoking well before your surgery
    • Stop taking anti-inflammatory drugs or supplements which may increase bleeding
  • How Long Does a Breast Augmentation Procedure Take?

    Every breast augmentation surgery is unique and takes different amounts of time, depending on your breast enhancement direction. Generally, breast augmentation takes about 1 to 2 hours. The surgeon will then dress and close the incision with skin adhesive, sutures, or surgical tape. You will be placed in a post-operative surgical bra with a front closure that makes it easier to get on and off.

  • What Is a Breast Augmentation Like During Surgery? Is It Painful?

    Our surgeons at Omni Cosmetic are professionals at creating an inviting, safe, and pleasant experience for every patient.

    Anesthesia administered by our team is a straightforward process that guarantees you will feel minimal pain or discomfort during your procedure. In fact, the number one complaint after breast augmentation is, “it feels tight.” We also often hear, “it feels like when my milk came in.” Here at Omni Cosmetic, we have a saying, “if we can’t do it safely, we can’t do it at all.” Our staff is highly trained and guarantees a high level of comfort, attention to detail, and ultimate patient care throughout every phase of the breast augmentation process.

What Should I Expect in Terms of Recovery After A Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation recovery time varies depending on your enhancement plan. While it is advised you to lay low and have available supervision immediately after surgery, you will be able to walk about 1-2 hours after the procedure and return to work within 5-7 days after. As this is an invasive cosmetic surgery, expect swelling and soreness of the breasts around your incision for a few weeks and accurately follow your surgeon’s physical activity schedule. Full recovery for breast enhancement surgery takes around 4-6 weeks. Many patients resume light exercise activity after 2 weeks and are back in the gym at 4 weeks.

Omni Cosmetic will give detailed instructions on how to maintain your breasts in a post-op visit. We will guide you through:

Wearing special supportive breast recovery bandages and bras

Caring for your incisions and bandage changes

Management of oral pain and antibiotic medications

Gentle restorative exercise post-surgery

Instructions for eating, sleeping, and bathing comfortably

How Long Will the Results Last? Will I Need to Replace My Breast Implants in the Future?

We only use state-of-the-art materials to extend the life of your implants. If they are well maintained, breast implants can typically last indefinitely. While breast implants are man-made and therefore are not considered “lifetime” designs, many patients have the same implants throughout their lives. The most common reason patients have their implants removed is to change sizes after pregnancy or breastfeeding. Some patients lose volume in their natural breasts and will add volume with implant removal and replacement procedure.

Other Things to Consider Before Breast Augmentation

Breast Implant Types: Which Is the Best for Me?

  • Silicone Breast Implants

    Silicone Breast Implants imitate the same feel of natural breast tissue and have a viscous composition comparable to human fat. These breast implants are fitting for patients seeking breast implants that maintain a natural aesthetic/feel. They generally are priced higher than saline implants and require a larger incision.

  • Saline Gel Breast Implants

    Saline Gel Breast Implants retain a more watery feel and are recommended for women with sufficient breast tissue. The implants are surgically placed through a small incision, then filled with intravenous saline. Saline implants are unique as they can be absorbed into the body in the rare case of an implant rupture.

  • Other Implant Types
    • Gummy Bear Breast Implants or “Cohesive Gel Silicone Implants” add viscosity that allows implants to preserve their shape for longer periods of time and grant more sturdy-looking results. These implants are filled with a silicone “cohesive gel” thicker than traditional silicone breast implants. Gummy bear implants are a different choice and more expensive implants for breast enhancement surgery. They are sometimes considered if a patient has minimal existing breast tissue.
    • Fat Transfers procedures are an alternative to breast augmentation. This procedure naturally increases the size of your breasts and contours “problem areas” through liposuction. We extract your fat cells from a donor site, process the fat to remove unwanted materials, and then skillfully insert it into your breast to increase fullness, symmetry, and balance. Patients who consider this option need to have both an adequate donor site (“fat to spare”) and a suitable recipient site (“breast to build”). The average amount of volume increase with fat grafting is about a full cup size (200cc). However, a second session can be considered to add more volume in the future.

Are There Any Risks Involved in Getting Breast Implants?

Possible risks involved with breast augmentation include:

  • Scarring and slow healing
  • Infection
  • Nipple sensation can be altered temporarily or permanently
  • Capsular contracture (Hardening of the implants)
  • Rupturing the implant (Requires removal and replacement)
  • Dimpling of the skin and/or wrinkling over the implant
  • Complications due to anesthesia
  • Retention of fluid
  • Blood clots
  • Pain
  • Cardiac and pulmonary complications/ deep vein thrombosis (Rare)
  • May need a breast revision in the future

All invasive cosmetic surgeries pose a risk for complications. Our surgeons have multiple years of combined experience with breast augmentation procedures and our commitment is to the most comfortable and beneficial surgical experience possible alongside beautiful, long-lasting breast enhancement results.

Are Breast Implants Really Worth Getting?

The short answer to this question is, “it depends on your body and your desire.” Breast augmentation is a life-changing plastic surgery that requires thoughtfulness and extensive consultation with a surgeon. Statistically speaking, the average bra size has increased from a 34B to a 36C in the 1990s and 92% of women find breast augmentation to be “worth it,” according to Realself.com. The most common implant size was about 200cc in the 1990s and 350cc in the 2000s. Now, we often find that more women seek improvements in a proportion that takes them to a “D+” size range at 400-600cc.
