If you are unhappy with your breasts, this procedure can help. However, you should only undergo breast augmentation to please yourself, not someone else.Expectations
You should have realistic expectations about the possibilities and limitations of breast augmentation. Dr. Graham will help educate you about the procedure beforehand to help you make your decision.Breast Sagging

After Receiving Breast Implants
Not long after your breast augmentation procedure, which is performed in about one hour under general anesthesia, you’ll be able to return home to begin the short recovery process. Special techniques are used during surgery to minimize postoperative discomfort and to speed your recovery. Medications will help manage any post-operative pain and muscle spasms you may experience. You should have full range of motion in your arms and shoulders right away, and you will be able to walk around the first day after surgery. We’ll give you a soft bra to wear until it is time for you to go shopping. As you recover, you will be able to taper off prescription pain medications and use Tylenol. You can drive a car within days of your breast augmentation procedure and return to light work in about one week. Several follow-up office visits are typical, and we’ll be happy to see you extra times if you have questions. Breast implants may need to be replaced over time. Results are long lasting, but breasts may change with age and gravity.
Finally, beauty without compromise.
Now available in our office, the IDEAL IMPLANT® Structured
Breast Implant combines natural feel with the safety of only saline inside for peace of mind. The IDEAL IMPLANT has undergone 10 years of development and refinement, including contributions of clinical expertise from many plastic surgeons. The result is the FDA-approved IDEAL IMPLANT, with the natural feel that women want, but without any silicone gel.
The IDEAL IMPLANT has a series of implant shells nested together and two separate chambers that hold the saline. This simple, yet innovative, internal structure is designed to control movement of the saline and support the implant edges to reduce folding and wrinkling. In addition, the edges have been lowered to better fit the natural curve of the chest wall. This unique design allows women to have the best of both worlds with their implant- natural look and feel, but the ability to just look in a mirror and know the implant is intact.
