THE PROCEDURE

How It Works

At EVOLV Plastic Surgery in Toledo, Ohio, Dr. Frank Barone provides excellent, comprehensive care to ensure the best possible outcome for breast augmentation procedures. At an accredited outpatient surgery center in Toledo, he utilizes pioneering 3D computer analysis, photo documentation, and extensive patient consultations for implant size choice, incision placement, and other safety considerations.

Each procedure begins with a light general or intravenous anesthetic administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist, followed by small incisions made of less than 2 inches, which are most often hidden in the crease below the breasts (inframammary fold). A precise pocket formation under the chest muscle pectoralis, or breast gland is made, all without violating the breast gland.

State-of-the-art cohesive gel implants are applied before safely closing any necessary incisions with dissolvable sutures. There is no need for drains post-surgery. Pain blocks ensure maximum comfort throughout your personalized journey toward improved body contour.

The meticulous approach taken by Dr. Barone and his team at EVOLV Plastic Surgery ensures that each step of the breast augmentation process is executed with precision and care, from the initial consultation to the final recovery stages. This comprehensive method not only enhances physical appearance but also boosts the confidence and well-being of patients.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are breast implants safe? What are the risks or complications of breast augmentation?

EVOLV Plastic Surgery offers only FDA-approved breast implants and has had all its procedures extensively tested. Any risks associated with surgery – from bleeding to infection or reactions to anesthesia – are rare when you select a top plastic surgeon like Dr. Barone, who is renowned for his expertise in cosmetic surgeries.

Regardless of the procedure, every patient at EVOLV gets the opportunity for an informed discussion about any potential consequences that may arise before undergoing treatment.

How long do breast implants last?

Although they are long-lasting, breast implants are not permanent, and they may need to be replaced. You can see your plastic surgeon for an annual examination to evaluate your breast health and implant integrity.

Over time, your breasts will change due to aging, weight fluctuations, hormonal factors, and gravity. As the appearance of your breasts changes with time, you may want to have a breast lift or an implant exchange to restore a more youthful contour.

How much does breast augmentation cost?

Breast augmentation can take many paths, with some of the most important factors being implant type, length of surgery, and associated fees. EVOLV’s Patient Coordinator will provide a personalized quote outlining all expenses related to your procedure –ensuring you’re fully informed on cost and expectations!

How will I know which implant size is best for me?

Submitted to the scrutiny of careful examination, 3D imaging, and personal desires – Dr. Barone approaches implantation with consideration for width, height, projection, and volume to ensure results tailored specifically for each individual’s wants.

Unwavering in his commitment to providing superior outcomes, he never fails to rely on an implant ‘sizer’ in the operating room; every patient is guaranteed an ideal fit that will leave them satisfied with their desired look!

What is the usual recovery time after breast augmentation surgery?

Although recovery time will depend on the surgical technique, the position of the implant (submuscular or sub-glandular), and age, EVOLV Plastic Surgery knows that the key to a successful post-breast augmentation recovery lies in individualized care tailored to each patient.

To help reduce downtime, our team provides comprehensive preoperative instructions and education, healing supplements, targeted post-operative lymphatic and sound wave massage, and LED phototherapy treatments – resulting in an improved recuperation experience overall! Our staff is ready to discuss expected periods of rest with you so your plans afterward can be made accordingly.

Am I a good candidate for breast augmentation?

If you’re looking for a change in breast size and shape, breast augmentation might be the perfect treatment option. It could be an ideal choice if your breasts are fully developed but don’t meet expectations due to asymmetry, empty upper pole volume, or impact from pregnancy/weight fluctuation/aging. Patients must also be physically healthy, not pregnant or breastfeeding, and have realistic goals.

What is the breast augmentation recovery process like?

After your breast augmentation procedure, you will be carefully monitored in a recovery area before going home. To assist with healing and minimize swelling, gauze dressings are applied over the breasts, along with an elastic bandage or support bra.

Post-operative instructions and follow-up appointment dates will be discussed before leaving, and any prescribed medications, such as pain relief tablets and antibiotics, to prevent infection. Wearing a supportive garment such as a bra or bandeau is advised during this period of recovery time to ensure optimal results from surgery.

Can breast augmentation be combined with other cosmetic procedures?

When it comes to cosmetic procedures, many people are looking for comprehensive solutions that can address multiple issues. Breast implants are a popular choice for women who want to enhance the size and shape of their breasts, but can they be combined with other cosmetic procedures? The answer is yes. Breast implants are often paired with breast lift surgery to increase the size of the breasts and lift and reshape them for a more youthful appearance.

Patients combine breast implant surgery with fat transfer, or fat grafting, to help restore volume to areas of the face and body affected by aging, trauma, or congenital factors. It harvests living fat cells from donor sites before purifying and skillfully injecting them into specific target locations for natural-looking results.

Is there an age limit for breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic procedure among women of all ages who wish to enhance the appearance of their breasts. However, there is much speculation regarding the age limit for this surgery.

While there is no specific age limit for breast augmentation, it is generally recommended that patients wait until their breasts have fully developed, usually by 18. Additionally, candidates for breast augmentation should be in good health and have realistic expectations for the outcome of the surgery.

Will my breast implants affect my ability to exercise or participate in sports?

Many women considering breast implants wonder if the procedure will impact their ability to exercise or participate in sports. While it’s natural to have concerns about any changes to your body, rest assured that getting breast implants won’t necessarily hinder your physical activity.

Many women who have undergone breast augmentation find that they can exercise just as well as before the procedure – if not better! You can maintain an active lifestyle with supportive sports bras and gradually return to physical activity after surgery.
