Breast EnlargementBreast implants will not last forever and will likely need to be replaced with a subsequent surgery. Most women have saline-filled implants for their first breast augmentation surgery. Saline implants are made of a silicone shell and filled with sterile saltwater. Silicone gel implants are only available for secondary surgical or reconstructive procedures, but may be more widely available in the future (possibly in 2003). You can also talk with Dr. Mills about the latest in implant research and development, including the cohesive gel implant. If you have any implant-related questions or concerns, Dr. Mills would be happy to discuss these and provide you with information on the latest research. Once you have chosen your implant size and type and schedule surgery, you will meet with our pre-operative patient coordinator. She will review all of your pre-operative instructions with you and make sure that you complete all the necessary laboratory tests and health screenings, based on your personal medical history and surgical plan. If you are a smoker, you will be advised to quit smoking at least two weeks prior to surgery and not to resume for at least two weeks after surgery. Additionally, there are certain medications, herbs and potions that she will ask you to cease taking from two weeks prior to surgery to two weeks after your surgery. This appointment will also be a time for you to ask any final questions, so that you are physically and mentally ready for surgery and have an optimal recovery period.
