First, your doctor will administer general anesthesia.
From there, he or she will create precise incisions around the areola, armpit, and lower breast crease, creating a pocket inside the chest in which to insert the implant. The incisions will then be closed, making sure that the resulting scars will be unnoticeable. From there, gauze and dressings will be applied to the treated areas.
After administering general anesthesia, your doctor will make incisions around the areola, making sure to remove any excess skin and tighten the area. Your doctor will then close the incisions with sutures with minimal scarring before sending you home.
