Breast Augmentation Recovery - Healing After Breast Implant Surgery

Breast augmentation or a "boob job" is a cosmetic surgical procedure, performed under common anesthesia, designed to enlarge and enhance the breasts using saline or silicone gel breast implants of a variety of shapes and sizes. The material, shape and amount of the breast implants does not affect breast augmentation recovery, however the placement of the implants-either over or under the pectoral muscles-significantly affects the length of age needed for recovery after surgery.
