Before & After Breast Augmentation

What to expect in your consultation

Your first meeting with Dr. Bauer is one of the most important parts of your breast augmentation process.

A physical exam
The right type of implant for your body and lifestyle
A step-by-step of the surgery
Placement and type of incisions
Placement of implants
Complete cost of surgery

Breast augmentation surgery details

Dr. Bauer performs breast augmentation in Montgomery AL with the patient under general anesthesia, and the procedure takes 1 to 2 hours. He will very carefully make incisions and insert the breast implants either behind the breast tissue or underneath the chest muscle. Both the placement of the incisions and the implant will be discussed and decided upon during your consultation.

Recovery and aftercare

You will need a friend or family member to help you for at least 24 hours after surgery. While it’s important to rest, make sure you are also keeping your blood flow moving to prevent clots. Most patients are given a surgical bra to wear after a breast augmentation to assist with healing. This will need to be worn for about one week, and then you may switch to a soft, no-underwire bra.

Be sure to fully take off enough time to allow your body to heal after a breast augmentation. The majority of patients require about one week off of work, unless their job is physically demanding. (In that case, 3 to 4 weeks should be taken off.) By two months, you should be fully recovered. Dr. Bauer will let you know when exercise may be resumed.

Candidates for breast augmentation

If you’re considering breast augmentation, ALPRS is home to one of the best body plastic surgeons in the Montgomery, AL area, Dr. John Bauer.

He will help you determine if breast augmentation is right for you, but in general, ideal candidates for this procedure are those who:

Have fully developed breasts
Are bothered by the size, shape, or asymmetry of their breasts
Are non-smokers in overall good health
Are not pregnant or breastfeeding
Have realistic expectations for what a breast augmentation can do

Breast revision surgery

Dr. Bauer also performs breast revision surgery, which is a procedure that is done to either replace old implants or correct problems resulting from implants/breast surgery. The most common reasons for a patient undergoing a revision surgery are

Capsular contracture (hardening of the implant)
Implant deflation or rupture
Visible rippling or wrinkling under the skin
Abnormal scarring
Results are not aesthetically pleasing
Implants are uncomfortable
Implant displacement
Implants older than ten years
Symmastia (implants joined together)
Asymmetry due to a previous cosmetic or reconstructive breast surgery

Breast revision requires a highly experienced surgeon, as there are many elements that they may need to contend with — including scar tissue, mistakes that the previous physician made, and the emotions of the patient.
