Breast Augmentation is an outpatient procedure and is unique to each individual patient. The procedure lasts approximately 1-1 ½ hours and is done under general anesthesia in an accredited outpatient surgical facility.

The patient is discharged with a light dressing to the surgical site and a support bra in place. A support bra is to be worn approximately 4-6 weeks after surgery. Post-operatively, the patient may experience some mild swelling and minimal pain at the surgical site. On average, patients may return to work in about 5-7 days and resume light exercise within 3 weeks.

As you are healing, you will notice some scarring initially. However, Dr. Antimarino strategically places each incision to minimize the appearance of permanent scarring. Each incision will be placed in a natural fold or crease so that they will be unnoticeable. With time, scars will fade and become almost invisible.
