Breast Implants: What Patients Should Know Before Getting Surgery By Dr. Suzanne Yee on January 15, 2025

While breast implants may seem like the perfect solution to improve your confidence, there are some things you will need to know before we can plan your implant surgery. Your health and body should always come first – and with Dr. Suzanne Yee, they do. As a triple-board certified surgeon, Dr. Yee has done more than her due diligence to establish her credentials. She brings that same dedication to every appointment, ensuring that her Little Rock, AR, patients are fully informed about their procedure. These are just a few of the factors that she may cover during your personalized breast augmentation consultation.

Implants Are Not a Permanent Solution

With implants, you will need to invest in your results, seeking replacement every decade or two. This can be a good thing, because it allows you to benefit from newer, more lifelike materials. However, if you’re apprehensive about multiple surgeries, you’ll have to weigh the pros and cons of breast augmentation.

Patients Should Be Done With Family Planning

If you want to carry children, you should finish growing your family before getting breast implants. Otherwise, pregnancy and breastfeeding can alter your new results.

There Are Multiple Kinds of Implants

When you visit our Little Rock practice, we’ll guide you through three different breast implant options: saline implants, gummy bear implants, and silicone gel implants. As a quick rundown, gummy bear and silicone implants appear more lifelike, while saline implants are appreciated because they can be filled after they are placed in the breasts and leaks are easier to detect.

Only a Breast Lift Will Restore Perkiness

During your consultation, Dr. Yee will go over expectations. A common misconception is that patients just need breast implants alone to make their breasts look higher and perkier. In reality, that goal is achieved with a breast lift – which Dr. Yee can perform.

You’ll Need to Invest in Recovery

Throughout the process, Dr. Yee is honest about the reality of breast implant placement. It’s not just a quick trip to the doctor – it’s a surgery. You’ll need to take time away from your job for at least a week, and you may not be completely healed until six to eight weeks have passed.

Your Surgeon’s Qualifications Make a Big Difference

You don’t just want to pick any Arkansas plastic surgeon for your breast implants. Their education, training, and certifications can make a big difference in your results. For example, Dr. Yee is a doctor certified in the KELLER FUNNELⓇ device, which can streamline implant placement. She’s also board certified in three areas, including facial plastic and reconstructive surgery, as well as plastic surgery.

While there are many aspects to keep in mind before scheduling surgery, our Little Rock team believes in giving you the facts.
