The Breast implants surgery can be done under general anesthesia or under regional anesthesia plus sedation.? At the same time and independently of the used anesthesia, the Dr. Cárdenas will apply a long acting local anesthetic around the breast and where the prosthesis have been placed, in order to doing a more pleasant recovery.

It can be carried out in an ambulatory way, for which most of the time it does not require of hospitalization unless concomitant procedures would be carried out.? It is performed in Clinics that contain the necessary equipment or well in second or third level hospitals.

The patients recover in two weeks when the inflammation and the hematomas (little frequent) disappear.? When you leave the OR, You will have placed a compressive dressing,? that requires you to keep it for a day.

At the same time, you will experience a light sensation of pressure on the chest.? The sutures will be able to be removed in a week during their following consultation and at the same time you will be able to perform again your activities in a normal way.

Is extremely important that consume in a methodical way and without lacks any medicine that the Dr. Cárdenas had prescribed; this is of maximum importance when we talk about the antibiotics, since the implant is a foreign body in the organism, is possible that ?if antibiotics are not used- it could be infected and have to be removed.

As any surgical procedure, there?s a small possibility to present continuos bleeding; infection; and particularly in this procedure a decrease, absence or hypersensibility in the nipple, which can be resolved itself in the great majority of the times in some months.

The most common problem is the muscular contraction.? To understand it in a better way, we will explain the process of scar formation around a strange or foreign body.? This phenomenon is presented when the body enters contact with a material that recognizes as not own.? To ?encapsulate it? the body produces collagen and scarring tissue around the strange body.? This is a normal process, but when the scarring capsule begins to be pressed due to the scarring contraction, is called Capsular contraction.

In fact, it?s not known the true process that originates that the capsule itself starts to contract, although some medical Authorities believe that is as a result of the infection.

The capsular contraction is detected when the implant feels tighter and can be treated in several forms, although always exists the possibility of re intervention to eliminate the contraction surgically.? It also exists the very remote possibility of a leaking implant as a result of traumatisms or either for the damage of the own material.

Depending on the final locating of the implant it is the time that it takes to observe the final results.? For those placed under the muscle, is necessary to expect to two months and for those that were placed under the gland is necessary a pair of weeks.
