Breast Augmentation
Enhancement with breast augmentation can achieve excellent natural-looking results if you want to enlarge breast size or restore lost volume after weight loss or breastfeeding. This procedure involves inserting silicone or saline breast implants into the tissues of the chest.
Breast Lift
If you are experiencing a sagging and deflated breasts, then a breast lift would likely be recommended. This procedure makes the breasts firmer and perkier by removing excess sagging skin. It can also resolve shape asymmetries.
Breast Reduction
Women with excessive breast tissue often suffer chronic back, shoulder, and neck pain and find participating in certain activities uncomfortable. Excess breast tissue can lead to muscle damage and chronic joint aches and can negatively affect your quality of life.
A breast reduction reduces the weight of oversized breasts, helping them better fit your frame. The procedure involves removal of excess fatty tissue, glandular breast tissue, and skin.

Can Breast Surgery Affect My Ability to Breastfeed?
We understand concerns about breastfeeding post-surgery. The impact of breast surgery on breastfeeding varies depending on the specific procedure. Breast augmentation surgery, in particular, may involve incisions around or through the nipple, potentially affecting milk ducts and nerves.
On the other hand, breast reduction surgery might involve removing glandular tissue, which can impact milk production. It’s crucial to discuss your plans for breastfeeding with your surgeon during the consultation to understand potential implications and make informed decisions. Our team will discuss the potential effects of the procedure on breastfeeding, providing detailed information based on the specific procedure and techniques employed.

How Long Does It Take to See Results from Breast Surgery?
The timeline for visible results after breast surgery varies based on the type of procedure. For breast augmentation, initial changes may be noticeable shortly after surgery, but the final results become more apparent as swelling subsides over a few weeks to months. In the case of breast reduction or lift surgery, it might take several weeks for swelling and bruising to diminish, revealing the final outcome. Patience is key, and following post-operative care instructions is essential for optimal results.
-
Will Breast Surgery Leave Scars?
Scarring is an inherent part of any surgical procedure, but efforts are made to minimize its visibility. The extent and nature of scarring depend on factors like the type of surgery, incision technique, and individual healing characteristics. Surgeons at Echeagaray Plastic Surgery employ advanced techniques to create discreet incisions and provide post-operative care instructions to promote optimal healing and scar minimization. While some scarring is unavoidable, it typically fades over time and becomes less noticeable.
-
How Can I Maintain My Results After Breast Surgery?
Maintaining the results of breast surgery involves a combination of proper post-operative care and lifestyle choices. Follow your surgeon’s recommendations for recovery, including restrictions on physical activities during the initial healing period. Wearing supportive bras as advised, maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and avoiding significant weight fluctuations can contribute to long-term satisfaction with the results. Regular follow-up appointments with your surgeon allow for ongoing assessment and guidance to ensure the longevity of your enhanced appearance.
