Breast augmentation patients at Younger Image Surgery Center enjoy the emotional, social, and personal benefits of an improved physical appearance.
How is a Breast Augmentation Performed?
Breast augmentation, or breast enlargement, takes less than two hours and is usually done as an outpatient procedure in our own AAAASF certified surgical center. For those of you who like to stay over-night and be recovered in a hospital, Dr. Yousefi can perform this surgery in a hospital in Maryland, D.C., or Virginia. Breast augmentation can be done with IV sedation and local anesthesia, however; most patients ask to be sleep completely so that they don't feel any pain or discomfort.
The most common practice is to place breast implants beneath the breast tissue and below the pectoral muscle layer (sub-muscular or sometimes called sub-pectoral). The other option is to place breast implants only beneath the breast glandular tissue layer (sub-glandular) Dr. Yousefi will discuss each of these options in further detail during your breast augmentation consultation. Four different approaches are primarily utilized to create a space for the placement of the implants.

What Can I Expect After Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Heavy lifting, pushing, and pulling should not be done for about 2-3 weeks or until approved by Dr. Yousefi. Pain from surgery can be treated effectively with oral medications and muscle relaxants. For those with a lower pain tolerance, Dr. Yousefi offers a pain pump (On-Q® PainBuster®) by which a numbing solution, not a narcotic, is delivered to the incision. This is done automatically and you don't have to press a button and you don't have to worry about getting addicted to a pain medication.
How Much Does Breast Augmentation Surgery Cost?
The cost for a breast augmentation depends on the size of the breasts and the type of incision made. Dr. Yousefi can discuss all of your pricing and financing options at your initial consultation. Insurance will generally not cover the price for breast augmentation.
