Breast Augmentation in Indianapolis

Breast augmentation, also known as breast aug, breast enlargement, or breast enhancement, is a surgical procedure used to increase the size of a woman’s breasts using implants. Women may choose to undergo breast augmentation to enhance their cleavage, improve the symmetry of their breasts, or balance their overall figure. A breast augmentation may also be used as a reconstructive technique following another breast surgery.

Whatever the specific purpose, women who undergo breast augmentation can expect larger, firmer, and more visually satisfying breasts. Many find that an increase in breast size increases their self-confidence by giving them the figure they’ve always desired.

We will discuss the placement of breast implants during your initial consultation to help you make the best choice.

In general, you can expect to be able to submerge in water 6 weeks after your surgery, or after your wounds are totally healed. Regarding exercise, you will be able to walk immediately after your release, but you should wait about 2 weeks before restarting any cardio or lower-body exercises. Restrictions will include no lifting, pushing, or pulling anything greater than 10 pounds for 6 weeks after surgery.
