Natrelle® Breast Augmentation

 

Natrelle® implants come in different gummy levels with a “soft to touch” feel. The silicone gel implants are filled with silicone gel that mimics the shape of the breast tissue in both look and sensation. Natrelle® uses several gel technologies, depending on what your breast augmentation goals are:

• TruForm® Gel: Made to keep the shape of the breast while giving it a softer, natural feel.
• TruForm® 2 Gel: Gives more upper-pole fullness and structure to the breast, even while standing, for those who want a “push-up” vibe.
• TruForm® 3 Gel: A highly cohesive implant type, it offers maximum shape retention. It’s the firmest gel type of the line, making it common for both anatomical and round implants.

Breast augmentation with Natrelle® is an outpatient procedure, with most procedures taking one to two hours to perform. Patients are placed under general anesthesia to minimize discomfort to a minimum. Incisions are also made in areas that are easy to conceal, such as the breast fold, the areola, or the armpit.

The pockets for the Natrelle® implants can be underneath the chest muscle or above the muscle. Dr.’s McMillan and Cohen will advise which location is best for you. This allows the breast to keep a natural shape while feeling soft to the touch.

Recovery from breast augmentation with Natrelle® is similar to any other implant used and will be more dependent on the location of placement. You will likely experience modest swelling, tightness, and mild discomfort in the first few days, as the body adjusts to the implants. Pain can be managed most often with Tylenol and hardly ever requires prescribed medication. A surgical bra helps offer support.

You may perform light activities or engage in desk work one week after the procedure; different forms of exercise can be performed in typically 3 to 4 weeks. Heavy lifting can strain the chest muscles and delay recovery, so take some time off in the meantime.

Swelling goes significantly down after a month, and final results are typically visible in about 12 weeks.
