Frequently Asked Questions

Our consultation process is typically made up of two stages. The first stage is a virtual consultation where we discuss your goals, review your medical history, go over your individualized plan and offer financing options. The second stage involves an in-person meeting with our team where we finalize the details of your procedure and set your surgery date.

On the day of your procedure, you should arrive at the surgical center about an hour before your start time. The anesthesia team will place an IV and give you medications to help prevent pain and nausea. They will also give antibiotics to prevent infection and low-dose heparin to prevent blood clots.

Details About The Procedure

Dr. Donaldson or Dr. Sieffert will perform the breast augmentation in approximately 60 to 75 minutes while you are fully asleep under general anesthesia. They always inject numbing medicine even though you are asleep so that the nerves remain soothed throughout the procedure.

Dr. Donaldson and Dr. Sieffert are known for being perfectionists, and they are absolutely meticulous in their surgical techniques. Both insist upon efficiency so you are not asleep longer than necessary, they are gentle with tissue to minimize bruising and swelling, and they alone touch the implants during the procedure.

Recovery & Departure

More pain medication is given during and after the operation to maximize your comfort. You will be in the recovery area for an hour or so, until you are fully awake, and then you will go home the same day! Expert recovery nurses will give you detailed instructions before you leave the center, and our staff will answer any questions, day or night, 24/7.

After the operation, you will need assistance from a friend or family member – or our office can arrange for personnel to support you instead. It’s best to make these arrangements well in advance in order to optimize your safety and comfort during recovery.

Discomfort Is Normal & Well-Tolerated

While pain should be expected, it is generally not severe. Most patients describe “tightness” or a stretched sensation due to the pressure of the implants on the skin and chest muscles over the first few days. Most patients require a long weekend of relaxation, or three or four days away from normal activities and less physical work.

Keep Activity Levels Low

Light activities and work can be resumed as tolerated; more stressful exercises and athletic activities must wait for three to six weeks depending upon the healing process.

The Importance Of Implant Massages

Two weeks after the operation, Dr. Donaldson and Dr. Sieffert recommend vigorous implant massage and displacement exercises. Massaging the implants within the breast pockets encourages a more natural shape, position and feel.

Our team has created several easy-to-follow video tutorials for your breast augmentation post-operative care:

If you are planning on having children in the future, ask Dr. Donaldson or Dr. Sieffert how breast surgery will affect your ability to breastfeed. The answer will depend on many factors, including the type of surgery you choose.

Be sure to ask about likely results to make sure you have realistic expectations. We believe that when our goals and vision are aligned, we can achieve ultimate success together. As we outline the surgical options and limitations, you can interject at any time until you are completely comfortable with the plan.
