Breast
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.
