| Time Required |
| The duration for the entire process of breast implant is 1 to 2 hrs. |
|
| Side Effects |
| The side effects of breast implantation are that the patient can experience bleeding, infection, scarring, implant rupture and leakage, changes in sensation in both breasts and nipple areas, and even obstructed mammography. There can also be certain issues with breast-feeding of infants. |
|
| Recovery Time |
In most cases, the full recovery from breast implant surgery normally takes a few months. So, recovery time after surgery is different for each patient. It is after six to eight weeks of breast implant recovery that the breasts finally take a shape of their own.
Recovery continues until each patient feels comfortable with her new breasts. |
|
| Risks |
| Risks involved in breast implantation are that the implant can rupture and leak, or can be displaced. A thick scar that normally forms around the implant can become very hard. This is called capsular contracture, and may cause a lot of pain. |
|
| Technology |
| The technology involves the use of saline filled breast implants or even the silicone gel implants. The saline filled breasts consist of several implant shells of varied sizes that are clubbed together. The internal shells control the movement of saline in order to minimize sloshing and bouncing. |
|
| Cost Involved |
| Breast implantation costs around $3,500 to $5,000. Still the amounts differ with the
different hospitals and the surgeons doing the breast implants. |
