The Fruitville Breast Augmentation Process
It’s important for Dr. Sessa’s patients to have a good understanding of what to expect before undergoing breast augmentation surgery. From the consultation to the procedure, feeling informed can put potential patients at ease and help them achieve a better idea of what they want.
The Consultation with Dr. Sessa
For patients in Fruitville, Florida, Dr. Sessa will begin the consultation by understanding the patient’s desired results and aesthetic goals. He will then need a full medical history, including all prior surgeries, medication, and any possible health conditions. He will also need to know the patient’s activity level to help determine which implant option and incision site is best for them. Next, Dr. Sessa will allow the patient to try out implant options and go over all necessary information about the preparation for the procedure, the actual procedure, and the recovery process.
Fruitville Breast Augmentation Surgery
Dr. Sessa may require patients to take prescribed medication before the surgery or pause using certain prescriptions. On the day of the procedure, patients should have someone drive them to The Sarasota Surgical Arts Center and arrive in a clean, zipped, or buttoned-up shirt. The patient will be placed under general anesthesia before the surgery begins.
Dr. Sessa will begin the procedure by creating the incision in the chosen incision site and will place the implants in the desired location, as implants can be placed either above or underneath the chest muscles. Patients are released fairly quickly after the surgery is complete and can have someone take them home to rest.
Breast Augmentation Recovery
It’s common for Fruitville breast augmentation patients to experience some discomfort and heaviness in the chest following breast augmentation. This typically only lasts for a few days, and Dr. Sessa will prescribe medication to ease any discomfort. Patients should rest for at least a week, avoid any physical exercise or activity, and sleep elevated and on their backs. It’s best to avoid raising the arms above the head and to maintain all other post-operative instructions from Dr. Sessa. For the best results, patients should attend all post-op appointments with Dr. Sessa.
