How to Prep for Your Breast Augmentation Surgery
Getting ready for breast implants in Utah is a crucial part of ensuring both the surgery and recovery go as smoothly as possible. Proper preparation helps set the stage for a successful outcome. The Rose Clinic provides personalized guidance, but here are some general tips to help you get ready:
Medical Evaluation
Before your surgery, you’ll undergo a thorough medical assessment. This includes reviewing your medical history, current medications, and any potential risk factors. Dr. Rose may advise you to stop taking certain medications, such as blood thinners, to reduce the risk of complications.
Lifestyle Adjustments
It’s essential to stop smoking at least four weeks before surgery, as smoking can impair healing. You should also maintain a healthy diet and stay hydrated to support your body's recovery.
Arrange Transportation and Support
Since you’ll be under anesthesia, arrange for someone to drive you home after the surgery. It’s also helpful to have a friend or family member stay with you for the first 24 to 48 hours to assist with daily tasks.
Prepare Your Recovery Space
Create a comfortable recovery area at home. Stock up on essentials like easy-to-reach snacks, medications, extra pillows, and entertainment options. This will make your post-surgery experience more pleasant and stress-free.
Follow Pre-Operative Instructions
Dr. Rose will provide specific pre-operative instructions tailored to your needs. Adhering to these guidelines will help ensure the best possible outcome for your surgery.
Am I a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
Determining if breast augmentation in Utah is right for you involves considering both physical and emotional factors. At The Rose Clinic, we prioritize your well-being and want to ensure you’re fully informed before making any decisions. Here’s what to consider:
- General Health: Candidates who are suitable for this procedure generally maintain good overall health and do not have any medical issues that might interfere with the surgery or hinder the recovery process. It’s important to have realistic expectations and a stable mindset regarding the procedure's outcomes.
- Breast Development: Candidates should have fully developed breasts. This procedure is suitable for women who want to enhance their breast size, correct asymmetry, or restore volume lost due to weight loss, aging, or pregnancy.
- Non-Smokers: Smoking can negatively affect your body’s ability to heal and may lead to a higher likelihood of complications during recovery. If you smoke, you may need to quit before undergoing surgery.
- Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: If you’re planning to have children soon, you may want to postpone your surgery. Pregnancy can alter your breast size and shape, which may affect the longevity of your results.
- Body Goals: Whether you’re looking to boost your confidence or restore your pre-pregnancy figure, being clear about your goals is crucial. During your consultation, Dr. Rose will discuss your desired outcomes and tailor a surgical plan that aligns with your vision.
By considering these factors and consulting with Dr. Rose, you can determine if breast augmentation is the right path to achieve your aesthetic goals.
Breast Implant Procedure
When you arrive at The Rose Clinic for your breast augmentation surgery in Utah, it’s essential to have a family member or friend accompany you, as you’ll need someone to drive you home once your procedure is complete. After being warmly welcomed by our team, you'll be prepared for surgery. The breast augmentation procedure involves the following steps:
Anesthesia
You will receive general anesthesia or intravenous sedation to ensure your comfort throughout the surgery.
Incisions
Dr. Rose will create incisions in carefully selected areas to minimize visible scarring. Depending on the chosen technique, these incisions can be made around the areola, in the breast crease, or in the armpit.
Implant Placement
Once the incisions are made, the implants are inserted either under the pectoral muscle or directly behind the breast tissue. Dr. Rose will decide the best placement based on your anatomy and implant type.
Closing the Incisions
After the implants are securely in place, the incisions will be closed with sutures, surgical tape, or skin adhesives. The incisions are carefully closed to ensure the best possible healing and minimal scarring.
Recovery and Aftercare
After your surgery, you will be monitored before being discharged so that you can go home with your caregiver. Dr. Rose will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
Types of Breast Implants
Saline Implants
Saline implants offer several advantages that make them a popular choice for breast augmentation. These implants are inserted into the breast cavity while unfilled, allowing for smaller incisions, which can result in less visible scarring. Once in place, the implants are filled with sterilized saline, which is safe and can be absorbed by the body in the rare event of a rupture. This also means that if a saline implant leaks, it is immediately noticeable, allowing for prompt attention. Additionally, saline implants can be filled to varying levels, which is beneficial in addressing asymmetry between the breasts. These implants tend to be a more cost-effective option compared to silicone, making them an attractive choice for many patients.
Silicone Implants
Silicone implants are celebrated for their realistic feel and look, closely resembling the texture of natural breast tissue. These implants come prefilled with a soft, cohesive silicone gel that many patients prefer for its realistic feel. In contrast to saline implants, a rupture in a silicone implant might not be immediately apparent, making regular check-ups essential for monitoring their condition. Silicone implants are available in various shapes and sizes, offering a high degree of customization to achieve the desired look. Whether you're aiming to enhance your breast size by a modest or significant amount, silicone implants can provide the volume and shape you're seeking, helping to boost your self-image and confidence.

Types of Incisions for Breast Augmentation
Periareolar Incision
The periareolar incision is made along the edge of the areola, creating a semi-circle around the darker skin. This approach allows the surgeon to make precise adjustments during the procedure while keeping the incision site relatively discreet. Because the incision blends with the natural color transition of the skin, scarring is often minimal and less noticeable. However, this technique may have a potential impact on nipple sensitivity and function, which could be a consideration for patients who plan to breastfeed in the future.
Inframammary Incision
The inframammary incision is placed in the natural crease beneath the breast, making it well-concealed by the breast itself. Many surgeons favor this technique because it provides excellent access to the breast cavity, allowing for greater control and precision, particularly when placing larger implants. One of the benefits of this method is that it typically preserves nipple sensation and function, making it a popular choice for patients who prioritize these aspects in their surgical outcomes.
Transaxillary Incision
The transaxillary incision is located within the natural folds of the armpit, making it the least visible of all the incision options. This method is often used for saline implants, which can be inserted unfilled and positioned through a small incision. The key advantage of this approach is that it completely avoids scarring on the breast itself, preserving both the aesthetic and functional aspects of the nipple. However, since the incision is further from the breast, it may provide slightly less control during implant placement, which is something to discuss with your surgeon if you are considering this option. Additionally, some patients may find the scarring in the armpit area bothersome, especially when wearing sleeveless clothing.
Recovery, Risks & Aftercare
Undergoing any surgery involves certain risks, and breast augmentation is no exception. However, Dr. Kevin Rose has extensive experience and a track record of successfully performing breast augmentations. He carefully monitors each patient’s progress during recovery, ensuring that any potential complications are minimized by providing detailed aftercare instructions.
After your surgery, you will be fitted with a supportive bra and strap to help reduce swelling and support your new breast shape. Dr. Rose will prescribe pain medication, muscle relaxers, and antibiotics to help you manage discomfort and prevent infection during the early stages of healing. In the first week post-surgery, it's essential to rest and limit your activities to allow your body to heal. While some pain and swelling are to be expected, your prescribed medication will help keep you comfortable.
As your recovery progresses, you will attend follow-up appointments. Dr. Rose will assess your healing and advise when you can safely return to your normal activities, including exercise. You’ll be fitted for a new bra at your one-month post-operative visit, marking a significant milestone in your recovery journey.
Breast Augmentation FAQ
Should I Wait Until I am Done Having Children Before Breast Augmentation?
The decision of whether to undergo breast augmentation before or after having children is a personal one. From a medical standpoint, it's entirely possible to have breast augmentation and still have children afterward. Some women choose to enhance their breasts in their early 20s, while others wait until they’ve completed their family and want to restore their breasts after childbirth and breastfeeding.
Is Breast Augmentation Part of a Mommy Makeover?
Yes, breast augmentation is often included in a custom mommy makeover, a combination of procedures designed to help mothers restore their pre-pregnancy body shape. This may include addressing changes in breast volume, sagging, or asymmetry.
Can I Breastfeed After Augmentation?
Many women are able to breastfeed successfully after breast augmentation, although there are risks. It’s important to discuss your future plans for breastfeeding with Dr. Rose during your consultation so that the best surgical approach can be chosen to preserve this ability.
Will There Be Any Loss of Nipple Sensation?
Following breast augmentation, some patients may experience a temporary loss of nipple sensation. For most individuals, sensation returns within six to twelve months as the nerves heal.
How Long Do Breast Implants Last?
While breast implants do not come with an expiration date, they are not designed to last a lifetime. Typically, implants last around ten years, but many last much longer without any issues. Common concerns with implants include rupture or leakage, and over time, natural aging can cause breasts to sag, which may require further treatment.
Are Scars Noticeable?
Dr. Rose takes great care in placing incisions in discreet locations, such as along the breast crease or around the areola, to minimize visible scarring. The size of the implant chosen will also influence the size of the incision, with saline implants requiring smaller incisions than silicone implants.
How Do I Choose My New Size?
Choosing the right implant size involves several factors, including your body type, personal preferences, and lifestyle. Dr. Rose will work closely with you to understand your goals and recommend an implant size that complements your natural proportions and enhances your confidence.
