Question 1

What size breast implant is right for me?

Accepted Answer

The appropriate size of breast implant depends on various factors, including your body type, existing breast tissue, desired outcome, and Dr Moradi's recommendations. During your consultation, Dr Moradi will discuss your goals and perform measurements to help determine the best implant size for you.

Question 2

What is the difference between saline and silicone implants?

Accepted Answer

Saline implants are filled with sterile saline solution (saltwater) and are inserted into the breast pocket while empty, then filled to the desired volume. Silicone implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel material and come pre-filled. Silicone gel implants tend to provide a more natural look and feel compared to saline implants.

Question 3

How long do breast implants last?

Accepted Answer

Breast implants are not considered lifetime devices and may need to be replaced or removed at some point. While some implants may last for many years without complications, others may require replacement due to issues such as implant rupture, capsular contracture, or changes in breast appearance over time. Dr Moradi will provide guidance on when to consider implant replacement based on your individual circumstances.

Question 4

Will breast implants affect breastfeeding?

Accepted Answer

Breast implants typically do not interfere with breastfeeding. However, there is a small risk of damage to milk ducts or glands during surgery, which could potentially affect milk production. In most cases, women with breast implants can breastfeed successfully, but it's essential to discuss any concerns with Dr Moradi before surgery.

Question 5

How long is the recovery period after breast implant surgery?

Accepted Answer

The recovery period varies depending on factors such as the type of surgery, implant placement, and individual healing. Generally, patients can expect some discomfort, swelling, and bruising for the first few days after surgery. Most people can resume light activities within a week or two but should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for several weeks. Full recovery may take several months, during which time the breasts will settle into their final shape. Dr Moradi will provide specific post-operative instructions to help facilitate your recovery process.
