Primary Breast Augmentation (Ep 43)

The Trillium Show with Dr. Jason Hall

This show is all about primary (or first time) breast augmentation - the most popular plastic surgery procedure in the United States year after year!
Here, we will discuss the procedure itself, the operation, recovery and risks. Like with any plastic surgery procedure, the most important aspect of the process is having a goal - what you are looking to accomplish with respect to the "look" you would like to have when surgery is over. I discuss the various choices and decisions that need to be made, such as incision location, implant size, shape, and type.

We have done a bad job as plastic surgeons making breast augmentation seem complex - it's NOT. Based on what you want to achieve, the decisions - such as implant size, type, projection, location, incision, etc - really make themselves.
Please note - I got caught up talking about the risk of infections at the end, and left out the small (<1%) risk of hematoma as one of the risks that I discuss. Keep that in mind when you listen to that section.
