Kalsow Plastic Surgery Approach to Creating a Beautiful Breast Augmentation Experience for His Patients

General Anesthesia for Breast Augmentation NYC

Kalsow Plastic Surgery offers general anesthesia to our patients during breast augmentation procedure as it is a proven and time tested method. When given general anesthesia, you don’t see or feel anything during the procedure and most of the patients choose to have general anesthesia. But, you can also have the surgery under local anesthesia. During local anesthesia, the doctor gives some medicines to relax and calm you; then with small needles, they inject lidocaine solution into your breasts to numb them. Now they place the implants under your breasts while you are awake. You will see and hear everything and also feel some pulling and pushing, but don’t feel any sharp pain. Some women don’t choose or want local anesthesia. Furthermore, local anesthesia isn’t suitable for all women who undergo a breast augmentation procedure but Dr. Kaslow will be happy to go over what works best for you during your complimentary consultation visit.

Pre-emptive Analgesia

Pre-emptive analgesia involves administering medication before the surgery starts so that your sensitivity to pain reduces. Pre-emptive analgesia reduces discomfort and pain during the post-operative period both in the long and short term; thereby, making it a more effective technique in comparison to administering medicines after the completion of the surgery. Patients who get pre-emptive analgesia usually have a faster recovery with less discomfort and pain than patients who don’t get it. Dr. Kalsow may determine you’re a great candidate for pre-emptive analgesia and will determine if this approach will work for you prior to your surgery date.

Minimize Capsular Contracture

According to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), one of the common complications that may happen in many of the patients is capsular contracture. Dr. Kalsow may use various surgical techniques that minimize your risk of getting capsular contracture. Some of these techniques are exercising strict protocol to control infection, cleaning the nipples using gauze, placing nipple shields at the time of surgery, and preferring the surgical incision beneath the breasts.

Cohesive Gel Silicone Implants

Dr. Kalsow uses both silicone and saline implants. Silicone breast implants feel more natural and also have a lesser risk of wrinkling or rippling. The FDA has approved both types of implants and both of them can be used safely. Your surgeon will only use those breast implants that have been approved in the USA.

BEFORE AFTER

Important Facts Breast Augmentation Facts

Patients report higher self esteem and an increase in body confidence following the surgery

We have helped many women improve their body contour and achieve highly satisfying results.

However, it is not suitable for every woman who wants it. You should consider these things to help you determine whether the surgery is right for you:

You should be healthy both psychologically and physically. Certain medical issues can make breast augmentation procedure unsafe. For instance, you are not a candidate for this procedure if you suffer from cancer, bleeding disorders or autoimmune disorders. If you have body dysmorphic disorder, then also you are not a candidate for the procedure. Whether you are eligible or not can be clarified by consultation with your surgeon followed by the lab work.
You should not be pregnant or lactating. To prevent interruption of breastfeeding and to maintain your safety, you should undergo the procedure about six months after you have delivered your baby and once you have weaned your baby off breastfeeding.
You should be undergoing the procedure out of your own choice and not under the influence of anyone else. You should not let any person force you to have the surgery as it’s your health and your body. Since the results are permanent; hence, you have to spend your entire life with these results.

You should understand the complications and risks associated with this procedure. This helps you in making a well-informed decision about whether the procedure is correct for you or not.
You must be a minimum of 18 years of age if you are getting saline breast implants and a minimum of 22 years of age if you are getting silicone breast implants.
Your weight should be in the normal range for your height. Being overweight or underweight may increase the complications and risks of the surgery. The results of the procedure are better in patients whose weight falls in the normal or healthy range.
You should not suffer from an infection while having the surgery. If you have an ongoing infection during surgery it may increase your risk of getting complications. This holds true for other cosmetic procedures too; for instance, liposuction.
You should understand that for achieving an extremely satisfying outcome of the surgery you must follow all the instructions (both post and pre-op) as given by your surgeon. These instructions include the dos and don’ts as well. For instance, you have to avoid drinking alcohol and smoking for a minimum of four weeks after and before the surgery.
