A complete and thorough understanding of Breast Augmentation is necessary. Your questions and concerns will be discussed during a comprehensive consultation, and you will be provided with reading material to help you fully understand this procedure.

The breast implants are saline filled with a silicone rubber shell and a valve for adding saline solution. The size is selected in proportion to your body frame. Dr. Blau's prefers periareolar (under the of nipple) insertion of the implant, the length of the incision being about one inch long. The resulting scar is usually less noticeable. In most cases, Dr. Blau's location for the breast implant is under the pectoralis muscle (sub pectoral), which will make for a more natural look and feel. However, the location of the implant is ultimately determined by the needs of each individual patient. Although recovery time varies, many patients are able to return to work within about a week. However, it is very important to avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks.
