breast augmentation in Toledo, Ohio

As with all aesthetic surgical procedures at EVOLV Plastic Surgery, Dr. Frank Barone’s breast augmentation workup involves complete family and medical history, examination, discussion of goals and review of all options. Preoperative evaluation also includes photo documentation, 3D computer analysis, and an extensive discussion and review of implant choices, incision locations, and related concerns. Itemized costs and recovery time planning are reviewed as well.

Our breast augmentation in Toledo is always done in an accredited outpatient surgery center under either a light general or intravenous anesthetic administered by a board-certified anesthesiologist and experienced licensed nursing staff.

Small incisions of less than 2 inches are most often hidden in the crease below the breast (inframammary fold).

After making the incision, a precise pocket is made with dimensions of the expected implant either under the breast gland or under the chest wall muscle pectoralis muscle) using a headlight. Dr. Barone believes in not violating the breast gland with the dissection approach. A trial sizing device is then used, and the patient placed upright on the electric table to exactly determine the most appropriate size and dimension implant to optimally enhance each patient’s individualized body contour. State-of-the-art cohesive gel implants are then placed with a triple antibiotic solution and checked and then incisions closed. Long-acting pain blocks (Exparel) or a nerve stimulator to decrease post-operative discomfort are used. Incisions are closed with dissolvable internal sutures and dressings and bra applied. No drains are typically used with Dr. Barone’s technique.

You will return to the office in a few days after surgery for your first dressing change. You will see the visible improvements immediately, and they will continue to get better as swelling and bruising subside. We will give you specific instructions and recommendations on activities and care of the operative site at each visit. Your final breast augmentation result should restore a contour that is attractive and results in a very natural and balanced appearance of the breasts without an ‘operated’ look.
