Custom-Designed Breast Augmentation Procedures at Belmont Plastic Surgery Near Dumfries, Virginia

Due to the various breast implant surgery options available, Dr. Jules Feledy takes the time to create each of his breast implant surgery patients a treatment plan that is tailored to meet her specific needs as well as to meet her breast enhancement desires. For these reasons, it is crucial that patients are candid with Dr. Feledy and his medical staff during their initial consultation about what they would like to achieve with a breast augmentation near Dumfries, Virginia.

The Ideal Candidate for a Breast Augmentation Near Dumfries, Virginia

Although the only way for Dr. Feledy to determine if a patient is an ideal candidate for breast implant surgery is with an initial consultation, certain issues may indicate that a patient could be a good candidate for breast implant surgery near Dumfries, Virginia.

Possible candidates for a breast augmentation are those who:

  • Have fully developed breasts.
  • Are unhappy with the way their breasts look.
  • Are not breastfeeding.
  • Have realistic expectations.
  • Are not pregnant.
  • Are in good general health.
  • Do not use or are willing to discontinue using products that contain nicotine (e.g. traditional cigarettes, e-cigarettes, etc.) for at least four weeks before and four weeks after the procedure. Following this recommendation is very important because nicotine causes the vessels to contract, resulting in slow blood flow to the incision sites. Since blood is necessary to heal wounds, the healing process is negatively affected, which increases the likelihood of the patient experiencing some type of wound-related complication (e.g., an infection, necrosis, etc.).

In addition, to have silicone implants placed, a patient must be at least 22 and to have saline implants placed, a patient must be no younger than 18. Although a breast augmentation may assist with mild sagging, it is not considered an effective solution for this issue. However, patients who have breasts that sag and would like to increase the size of their breasts may be good candidates for an augmentation with a breast lift.

An Initial Consultation for a Breast Augmentation at Belmont Plastic Surgery in Stafford, Virginia, Near Dumfries

During the initial consultation, Dr. Feledy reviews the patient’s registration information. To print up and fill out the patient information forms, patients need to visit the Patient Information page. If the patient has brought any results from medical tests involving her breasts, Dr. Feledy will also review these. Once he has finished reviewing all the patient’s information, Dr. Feledy will want to know more about what the patient would like to accomplish with a breast augmentation near Dumfries, Virginia. It is vital that patients are up front with Dr. Feledy about what they want their breasts to look like and how they would like their breasts to feel after their implant surgery.

While many patients request natural-looking breasts with a feel that is similar/identical to biological breast tissue, there are women who prefer that Dr. Feledy create them voluptuous breasts that look as if they have been enhanced. Either way, Dr. Jules Feledy has the experience, artistic vision and state-of-the-art surgery center to provide each patient with the beautifully contoured, full breasts that she desires. After reviewing the patient’s registration paperwork and speaking with the patient about what she would like to accomplish with a breast augmentation procedure, Dr. Feledy may examine her breasts. During this examination, he is evaluating the skin’s elasticity, the nipple-areolar complex locations and determining how much natural breast tissue the patient has to cover an implant. In addition, he may take photographs to place in the patient’s medical file. These photos are typically taken from several angles and then used for reference as he creates the patient’s personalized surgical treatment plan.

Breast Augmentation Recovery Near Dumfries, Virginia

It is crucial that patients follow all of the postoperative recommendations and instructions provided by Dr. Feledy and his medical staff. Patients should expect to experience inflammation as they recover from their breast enhancement procedure. It is normal for the implants to appear a little higher on the chest than expected directly following surgery, however, within a few weeks, they will settle into their natural position. As the inflammation subsides, incision lines begin to diminish, which makes it easier for the patient to visualize her final results. For a week following their breast augmentation procedure, patients should take it easy because when the heart rate rises, so does the blood pressure, which could result in unnecessary bleeding around the implants. Once four weeks have passed, most patients can resume their normal activities.

Frequently Asked Questions

Women interested in having breast implant surgery are usually looking for voluptuous, beautifully contoured, natural-looking breasts. Dr. Feledy uses a variety of factors to determine implant placement. One of the factors that he considers is the amount of breast tissue the patient has present. If a patient does not have an adequate amount of breast tissue, he will place each implant’s pocket submuscularly (beneath the breast tissue and the pectoral muscle) to make sure that the implant is well-hidden. In a case such as this, if the implant is placed subglandularly, it may be evident that the patient has had breast implants placed. The best way a patient can reduce the likelihood of having an incorrectly placed implant is to choose an experienced, board-certified, breast enhancement specialist like Dr. Jules Feledy to perform their procedure.

During pre-op, Dr. Feledy will use a surgical marker to make notations on the breasts. He uses these as a guide during surgery. Patients are encouraged to go ahead and ask any last-minute questions they have about their procedure at this time. After the patient is anesthetized, the procedure begins:

  1. Dr. Feledy makes the incision (e.g., inframammary, periareolar or transaxillary).
  2. The breast implant’s pocket is created (submuscularly or subglandularly).
  3. Dr. Feledy carefully places the breast implant into its pocket. In the event that the patient is having saline implants placed, he fills the shell with salt water.
  4. Incisions are closed with surgical tape, stitches and/or skin adhesive.
  5. Gauze bandages may be applied.
  6. A surgical bra is placed.
  7. After spending some time in the recovery room, the patient is released to her driver.

Before she leaves, Dr. Feledy’s recovery room staff will provide her with information related to caring for herself as she recovers. In addition, breast augmentation patients do experience quite a bit of discomfort following their procedure, for this reason, patients receive a prescription for pain killers before they leave. Patients may also receive a prescription for an antibiotic. It is vital that patients take these medications as directed. Dr. Jules Feledy requests that his patients have someone they trust remain with them for at least 24 hours after their breast enhancement procedure.

Patients can take steps to decrease their likelihood of facing a complication after their breast enhancement procedure. One of the most important prevention techniques is choosing an experienced, board-certified breast enhancement specialist to perform their breast implant surgery near Dumfries, Virginia.

Since each breast augmentation procedure is custom-designed to meet the needs of a particular patient, the only way that Dr. Feledy can provide a patient with an accurate estimate for her procedure is by examining her and finding out what she would like to accomplish during her initial consultation.

Unfortunately, since breast implant surgery is considered cosmetic, health insurance will not cover this procedure.

Dr. Feledy understands that gathering the funds necessary to have an elective procedure can be a challenge: For this reason, Belmont Plastic Surgery offers patients a way to attain their plastic surgery procedures using financing. Patients can apply for financing at the office. The financing programs available are CareCredit and ALPHAEON CREDIT.
