Incision: Small incisions are made in discreet areas, usually under the breast fold.
Implant Placement: The chosen implant is carefully inserted either beneath the chest muscle (submuscular) or beneath the breast tissue (subglandular).
Incision Closure: Sutures or skin adhesive seal the incisions, contributing to minimal scarring.
Recovery: Initial discomfort and swelling are common but gradually subside over a few weeks.
Resuming Activities: Most patients can resume light activities within a week, gradually increasing intensity over several weeks.
