Depending
on your physician and the method of surgery that has been chosen,
your breast
augmentation Lexington procedure can be performed as an inpatient
(requiring an overnight stay in the hospital) or as an outpatient (no
overnight stay required). In general, breast augmentation is
performed on an outpatient basis in a hospital operating room,
surgery center or surgical suite in a surgeon’s office. On average,
the surgery lasts one to two hours.

General
anesthesia is commonly used and local anesthesia also is an option.
Your cosmetic surgeon can discuss with you the most appropriate
choice of anesthesia for your procedure.

Your
cosmetic surgeon will make an incision and create a “pocket,”
or space, within your breast tissues for the breast implant. The
breast implant will be placed in the pocket, filled and positioned.
Then, the incision will be closed, usually with stitches, and
possibly taped.
