An augmentation of the breasts involves the placement of implants or the transfer of fat to achieve the desired results. This surgical procedure is aimed at enhancing the size and shape of the breasts. Patients undergoing breast augmentation rely on Direct Primary Care (DPC) practices to provide personalized care, thorough guidance, and attentive assistance throughout the process.
There are several key steps involved in breast augmentation:
To determine the candidate's candidacy for the procedure, the plastic surgeon examines the patient's medical history, discusses their aesthetic goals, and performs a physical examination. Based on the patient's preferences and anatomical considerations, the surgeon and patient determine the appropriate implant type, size, and placement method.
Under general anesthesia, breast augmentation surgery is typically performed. The surgeon creates pockets for implant placement by making incisions in predetermined locations, such as the inframammary fold, periareolar region, or axilla. Submuscular or subglandular implants are then inserted behind the breast tissue (subglandular). A fat transfer breast augmentation involves injecting fat from a donor area of the patient's body into the breasts.
Patients receive postoperative instructions and guidance to ensure a smooth recovery after the procedure. Wearing compression garments, avoiding strenuous activities, and scheduling follow-up appointments with your surgeon to monitor healing and address any concerns may be part of this approach.
Comprehensive Pre-Procedure Counseling
To ensure patients understand the surgical process, potential risks, and expected outcomes of breast augmentation, DPC practices provide comprehensive pre-procedure counseling. During the consultation, providers address any questions or concerns patients may have and work together to create a treatment plan tailored to their aesthetic preferences.
Personalized Care and Support
The anatomical characteristics, aesthetic preferences, and medical considerations of each breast augmentation patient differ. To ensure the best possible outcomes and patient satisfaction, DPC providers listen to their patients' concerns, educate them about their options, and tailor their approach to meet those concerns.
Emotional and Psychological Support
For patients, breast augmentation surgery can evoke a variety of feelings and concerns. As part of the treatment process, DPC providers provide compassionate support and guidance, addressing any anxieties or uncertainties the patient may have. In order to create an empathetic and supportive environment for patients, providers prioritize their emotional well-being.
Practices that provide DPC services provide personalized support to patients preparing for and recovering from breast augmentation surgery:
Pre-Procedure Counseling and Planning: To prepare patients for breast augmentation surgery, DPC providers offer comprehensive pre-procedure counseling and planning. We discuss implant options, surgical techniques, expected outcomes, and post-operative instructions.
Pre-Operative Optimization: Providers work closely with patients to ensure their health and well-being before surgery is optimized, addressing any underlying medical conditions and ensuring they are in the best possible condition.
During the recovery process following surgery, DPC providers continue to provide support to patients, providing guidance on postoperative care, monitoring for signs of complications, and providing ongoing support to ensure a smooth and comfortable recovery.
In addition to comprehensive pre-procedure counseling, personalized care and support, and attentive preparation and recovery assistance, DPC practices help breast augmentation patients achieve their aesthetic goals with confidence.
