Dr. Hebert Lamblet
Dr. Hebert Lamblet is a plastic surgeon who specializes in breast augmentation surgery. If you are considering this procedure, there are several important questions you should ask during your consultation:1. What is the recovery time like?The typical recovery time for breast augmentation surgery is one to two weeks. During this time your breasts may be swollen and sore. You will need to limit your activity for several weeks but you should be able to resume normal activity after six weeks. Your surgeon will provide you with instructions to optimize the recovery process.2. Silicone vs. Saline?When it comes to breast implants, the two most popular options are silicone and saline. Both options are available in a variety of shapes, sizes and textures. While both types consist of silicone shells, saline implants are filled with sterile salt water. Since silicone is more viscous than saline, it flows differently in its shell and is known to have a more natural look and feel. But at the end of the day both implant types will look the same after they are implanted and both are safe to use.3. Which surgical incision will be used?Different standard incision approaches can be used during breast augmentation surgery. The incision type your surgeon chooses will typically depend on your body type, implant selection and/or lifestyle. The three most popular incisions used by surgeons are transaxillary (under the armpit), inframmamry (under the breast) and peri-areolar (around the lower edge of the areola). During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss all three options and determine which approach is best suited for you.4. What size will the implants be?Implant sizes can range from around 100 to 500 cubic centimetres (ccs). For every 200 ccs added, breasts will increase approximately one cup size. While you may have an idea of what size you want to be going in, there are a number of factors to consider. Size can be influenced by height, chest size and breast tissue. Some other factors to consider are skin quality, nipple position and breast shape. By consulting with your surgeon, you can ensure you choose the right size for your body.Dr. Hebert Lamblet has many years of experience performing breast augmentation surgery.
