Recovery times vary for breast augmentation depending on where your breast implants are placed. You have two options for where your breasts implantsare placed. They can be placed over the muscle (subglandular) or beneath the muscle (submuscular). Subglandular placement requires less recovery time than submuscular. Women who have subglandular placement usually feel ready to get up and go in a couple of days. Incision Options for Breast Implants The incision type used in your breast surgery also affects the recovery time. There are a few incision options including: • Areola incision (Periareolar) • Armpit incision (Transaxillary) • Under the breast fold incision (Inframammary fold) • Belly button incision (Transumbilical) Women usually can return to work after about a week. You will need more time for recovery if your work requires heavy lifting. It is important to discuss recovery times with your breast surgeon prior to the procedure. The areola incision is made where the darker skin of the areola meets the lighter skin of the breast. This is the most popular incision used for breast implants. This incision allows for the scar to blend naturally with your skin tone and is not very noticeable. The areola incision is suitable for both the subglandular and submuscular placements. You may be able to return to your every day activities after about two weeks. The armpit incision is placed in the natural folds under your arm. The incision is about an inch long and is fairly easy to hide. The technique results in little to no bruising with the use of an endoscope. The armpit incision also allows for both types of breast implant placement. The inframammary fold incision is placed in the crease under the breast. This technique is commonly used in breast augmentation and usually accounts for about a week to two weeks of recovery time. The belly button incision is often referred to as the TUBA, which stands for trans-umbilical breast augmentation. The incision is placed in the belly button and the scar is minimal and easy to hide. This incision allows for both subglandualr and submuscular breast implant placements. The recovery time is fairly quick with minimal bruising. You have many options when it comes to receiving breast augmentation surgery. If you are interested in learning more, please visit the website of Orlando Breast Surgeon Dr. Hartog.
