Breast Augmentation Before and After, What to Expect

On the day of your surgery, you will meet initially with the nurse and then the anesthesiology staff, who will carefully explain the type of anesthesia they will be using. After this, Dr. Kapoor will re-examine you and review the surgical plan.

Finally, Dr. Kapoor will make markings with a pen which he uses as a road map to achieve your desired results. After that, you will be escorted to the operating room, where you will be closely monitored and given general anesthesia. The Breast Augmentation procedure takes about 45 minutes to an hour to complete, after which you will be transfered to the recovery room where a nurse will watch you closely.

For the rest of the day you can expect to be slightly drowsy. Most patients do not experience a significant amount of pain during this time. We recommend taking pain medications every four to six hours as needed.

Following your breast augmentation surgery you can expect to be able to return to work in 3-5 days. You will need to wait 3-4 weeks befre starting to excersise or participate in more strenous activities. Initially, your new Breast Implants will appear slightly high due to swelling in the muscle. After this, they will gradually settle over a 6-8 weeks period. During this time, Los Angeles breast augmentation patients can help this process by massaging the breasts. At your first postoperative visit, our Beverly Hills Plastic Surgery Office will provide instructions on how to properly massage your new Los Angeles Breast Implants.
