Our patients in Olathe choose to have breast augmentation for various reasons. There is no right or wrong reason to consider breast augmentation. Below are some of the most common reasons many women choose to have the procedure:
Women who have had breast augmentation report increased satisfaction with their sex lives and overall quality of life. Breast augmentation surgery can also include a breast lift procedure, which may improve how clothing fits and offer increased confidence when wearing feminine clothing, such as swimsuits.
There are several criteria a patient must meet to be an ideal candidate for breast augmentation in Olathe. During an initial consultation, one of our experienced plastic surgeons will perform a thorough physical examination and review your medical history to ensure no active infections, serious illnesses, or untreated cancer are present. You should discuss any medical issues with the surgeon at this time so they can consider them when deciding if breast augmentation is a suitable option.
Because the surgery permanently alters your appearance, a trained plastic surgeon will also evaluate your state of mind before surgery. An ideal candidate will have realistic expectations about the outcome of the surgery and understand the potential risks and rewards.
Finally, a good candidate for breast augmentation will be able to properly rest and recover after the surgery, which speeds healing, lowers the risk of infection, and helps maintain the changes made during surgery.
There are two types of breast augmentation: you may choose between breast implants or fat transfer to enhance and shape your chest.
In a fat transfer, a plastic surgeon uses fat from another area of your body to augment the size or achieve a woman’s contour goals. This type of augmentation is limited to a relatively small increase in breast size.
There are several breast implant choices. Each breast implant option has advantages and disadvantages, which a knowledgeable plastic surgeon can explain and customize to your body type and cosmetic concerns. The possibilities include:

After waking up from breast augmentation surgery, the breasts are usually wrapped in an elastic support bra to help reduce swelling and support the breast tissue as it heals. Before you leave, your talented Olathe plastic surgeon will provide post-operative instructions specific to the type of breast augmentation surgery performed.
During the first several days, it is possible for bleeding to occur around the breast implants. Closely follow the instructions for activities and rest. During the first five to seven days, the breasts may feel firm and tight from swelling. After one week, the discomfort should significantly improve.
Within the first three weeks, all bruising and swelling should have dissipated. The breasts will become softer and may begin to drop slightly. Some women experience itching during this period, which is normal. Continue to follow your plastic surgeon’s advice about activity and the type of bra worn to provide the breasts with the support needed to heal fully.
