What can I expect during the breast implant/augmentation procedure?
- The majority of breast augmentation surgery is done in outpatient surgical facilities under general anesthesia.
- There will be a small incision made in one of the sites previously discussed with the surgeon.
- The selected implant, saline or silicone, will be inserted in a pocket made either under the breast tissue or under the muscle.
- The chosen implant will reflect the size and profile that will best complement the patient’s proportions and fulfill her desired augmentation.
- Dr. Zemplenyi uses a special device, the Keller Funnel, for gentle implant insertion to decrease the chance of skin contact and bacterial contamination.
- Incisions are closed in layered fashion with dissolvable sutures.
- Incision lines will fade over time.
Dr. Z is amazing! He helped to eliminate scarring on my forehead that no one else I consulted with seemed to have an answer for (unless I wanted to fly to NJ!). I've gone to him for various maintenance treatments through the years, and he's very honest, if he thinks something is not needed he will explain in great detail why. Beyond that, he's extremely personable, professional, and gets my highest recommendation!
