About Breast Augmentation with Implants
Breast augmentation is most commonly performed using saline or silicone gel breast implants. To begin, Dr. Campanile makes an incision in the fold of the breast where it meets the chest wall (inframammary) or around each areola (periareolar).
Through the incision, he creates a pocket for the implant and then positions the implant inside the breast. Breast implants may be placed be under the chest muscle or directly behind the breast tissue, depending on implant size and type and your preferences and body shape.
When the implants are securely in place, the incisions are closed and bandaged, and you’ll be moved to the postoperative area to begin your recovery. In most cases, breast augmentation with implants takes just 1 to 2 hours.
Combined Augmentation And Lift
A popular option for many women is to combine breast augmentation with a breast lift. This combined procedure can create a more youthful look, particularly if your breasts have begun to sag following childbirth or weight loss, or just due to a combination of gravity and time.
Dr. Campanile can use the same incisions he creates for the breast lift to insert breast implants, minimizing the appearance of scars after surgery. Another benefit of combining these procedures is only having one recovery period. Women who opt for fat transfer breast augmentation may also choose to combine their augmentation with a breast lift to achieve the most flattering profile.
The Best Results
Dr. Campanile tailors breast augmentation procedures to best match each woman’s figure and cosmetic goals. For some, this may mean enhancing both the size and shape of the breast, while others may combine breast enlargement with additional procedures as part of a mommy makeover.
If you’re unhappy with the results of a previously performed breast enhancement, breast revision surgery can help you get near the plastic surgery results you originally envisioned.

Breast Augmentation FAQs
Am I a good candidate for breast augmentation?
Dr. Campanile will take into consideration your goals, lifestyle, and unique physical characteristics before recommending any procedure, including breast augmentation. In some cases, you may be able to accomplish the look you want with a breast lift, rather than breast enlargement. Many other women will combine breast enlargement with a lift.

Does Dr. Campanile use saline or silicone implants?
Dr. Campanile has experience performing breast augmentations with both saline and silicone gel implants. The type of implant used depends on your body type, the desired look, and your personal preference. Regardless of the implant type selected, Dr. Campanile is committed to achieving a natural looking breast augmentation results.

How will breast implant placement be determined?
The placement of the breast implants, much like implant size and type, varies from patient to patient. Factors weighed in making this decision include your body type, appearance goals and the type of implant used. Depending on this information, implants may be placed behind the breast tissue or under the chest muscle. Again, the goal is a naturally augmented appearance.

Telephone No.303-345-7476
How long will be the breast surgery take?
Not including your consultation or pre-surgery prep time, the procedure itself should take between 1 to 2 hours. After the implants are placed and the incisions are closed, you’ll be moved to a post-op recovery room until you’re ready to go home.
Dr. Francesco Campanile,
Telephone No.303-345-7476
What about recovery time?
Any surgery can be challenging for the body, and this includes plastic surgery. It’s very important to rest and avoid doing too much too soon. Overexertion can negatively impact the healing process. It’s a good idea to plan for a lighter schedule following your breast surgery. You should be back to normal in about a week or so, but it can still take months as subtle changes to breast shape and position are revealed.

Telephone No.303-345-7476
Should I worry about scarring after breast augmentation?
While there is a risk of visible scarring during any surgery, Dr. Campanile works hard to create an end result that is as aesthetically pleasing as possible. To minimize the likelihood of unsightly scars, incisions are strategically placed to be hidden in the natural contours of the breast or in the pigmented skin of the areola whenever possible.

Telephone No.303-345-7476
Is there anything else I should know?
Depending on your goals, you may consider combining procedures on the day of surgery in Denver. Breast augmentation can be combined with other breast enhancement procedures or a body contouring surgery such as liposuction or abdominoplasty (tummy tuck). Choosing to combine procedures in this way will mean only one recovery period, rather than two.

Breast Augmentation Recovery Tips
There are a number of items you’ll want to have on hand so that you’re as comfortable as possible during your recovery.
- Pillows: For the first few weeks of recovery, you’ll need to sleep in a reclined position. Putting extra pillows near your lower and mid back can maximize comfort while sleeping in a more upright position.
- Stool softener: Anesthesia and prescription pain medication can cause constipation. A stool softener can be best to keep your bowels regular.
- Ice packs: A cold compress can help to reduce swelling and promote healing.
- Entertainment: You’ll be taking it easy for the first several days of your breast augmentation recovery. Relax with your favorite magazines, movies or TV shows.
- Comfortable clothing: It will be impossible to lift your arms over your head, so pulling shirts on and off isn’t an option at first. Opt for tops you can unzip or unbutton with ease and comfort.
After Your Breast Augmentation
Once your initial stage of healing has passed, you’ll still have a few more months to wait before seeing your final and best results. For many women, this can be the time when they feel most impatient, because their energy levels are back to normal but their new look is still developing.
You may notice some asymmetry at first. This is normal, as each breast tends to heal and implants drop at a different rate.
Don’t go bra shopping too early, as it takes time for swelling to dissipate. For now, stick with soft, supportive bras and hold off on getting a formal fitting until your plastic surgeon gives the all-clear.
Scar appearance should continue improving as the weeks and months pass. You’ll be surprised at how much scars continue to fade even a year after your breast augmentation. It can take up to 2 years for scars to fully mature.
Implants should continue to settle and drop, and you should have a good idea of how your final results look by around the 6-month mark.
Most of all, try to stay patient so you can have your best breast augmentation experience from consultation through recovery and seeing your final results.
Once you’re ready to move forward with breast augmentation, please contact us online or call our Denver office at 303-345-7476. We look forward to helping you feel and look your best.
