If you feel dissatisfied and wish you had larger, fuller and shapelier breasts, a breast augmentation procedure can greatly improve your image as well as your self-esteem. Although the technique used may vary depending on each patient, the incision is small and programmed to hide the scars as much as possible. Dr.Horacio has specialized in the armpit incision that leaves no scars in the breast and the surgery is done through a small incision in a non-revealing fold in the armpit. The whole procedure usually takes around 1 hour and uses general or local anesthesia. Your stay in the hospital will be short, perhaps one night. Most of the discomfort can be controlled with oral medication and antibiotics may also be prescribed. Rest is recommended for a few days after the surgery and all sutures are removed within 1-2 weeks. You will wear a post-surgical bra for several weeks, but within a day or 2 you should be able to perform no strenuous work. Normal physical activities may be resume after a few weeks.
