Is Breast Augmentation Right for You?
Answer a few quick questions to see if breast augmentation could be a good fit for you — or take the full Renewal Assessment for a comprehensive treatment plan.
What to Expect
Breast augmentation is one of the most requested procedures we perform, and the reasons are straightforward: done well, it looks like you. In the hands of an experienced surgeon like Dr. McGovern, the results are natural-looking, long-lasting, and shaped to complement your own body.
Ideal Candidates
This procedure is for anyone seeking fuller, more proportionate breasts, or hoping to restore volume lost to age, weight loss, or pregnancy. You should be in good overall health, with expectations grounded in what surgery can realistically do.
The Consultation
Dr. McGovern will take a careful look at your anatomy, listen to your goals, and help you choose the implant type, size, and placement that make sense for your body. You'll have time to try sizers in front of a mirror and ask every question you have.
The Procedure
The procedure takes place at RenewalASC in Savannah, under general anesthesia, and takes 1-2 hours. Incisions are placed with care, chosen to keep scarring as unobtrusive as possible.
Recovery
Most patients return to work in 7-10 days and resume full activities in 4-6 weeks. You'll have follow-up appointments to monitor your healing and ensure optimal results.
Artistry Meets Precision
Dr. McGovern's approach to breast augmentation puts natural-looking results first, shaped to fit your own frame. She takes the time to understand not only what you want to look like, but how you want to feel in your own skin.
Her technique centers on precise implant selection and placement, working toward a balanced silhouette that looks and feels like your own, whether this is your first augmentation or you're addressing changes that came after pregnancy.
Plan Your Downtime
Let your body tell you what you can and cannot do. You may resume normal activities at any time if they cause no pain or discomfort.
Keep the implants in position
Sleep on your back rather than your side — we want your implants to stay in perfect position during the initial healing process. This is not a life-or-death issue; if you can't sleep on your back, sleep in another comfortable position.
Do this
- Wear your bra at all times — it acts as the dressing, holding the breast and implants in position. Try to keep the bra even.
- Wear TED hose (compression stockings) at all times except to shower.
- Drink plenty of fluids to maintain hydration.
- Get up and walk four or five times a day.
- Always lie with your feet elevated above the level of your heart.
- Always have your legs elevated if sitting in a chair.
Avoid
- Avoid heavy lifting and straining.
- Do not wear an underwire bra.
- No driving for 24 hours after taking a narcotic.
- Do not sit in a chair with knees bent and feet on the floor.
- Do not smoke or use any form of nicotine.
- Avoid long automobile trips or flights.
