Breast Implant Options for Trans Women

When considering trans breast augmentation, consult with an experienced gender-affirming surgeon to understand the options. Each option has unique characteristics and benefits. The choice of implant type and placement method is a deeply personal decision. It's often influenced by body shape, desired outcome, and individual preferences. Below are two breast implant options.

Saline Implants:

Saline implants are made of a silicone shell filled with sterile saltwater. The implants are usually inserted empty and then filled. Their size can be adjusted during surgery.

Silicone Gel Implants:

These implants consist of a silicone outer shell filled with silicone gel. They are known for their natural feel and appearance, making them a popular choice for transgender breast implants.

What to Expect During Breast Augmentation Recovery

During breast augmentation recovery, pain and discomfort are normal. Dr. Rodriguez will help you understand what to expect and can prescribe medication to help manage pain. Swelling and bruising may occur but will start to improve after a few weeks. Your range of arm motion may be limited initially, but this should gradually get better. You'll need to change dressings or bandages, and our team will guide you on this.

Plan for follow-up appointments with our team to monitor your healing progress. Avoid strenuous exercises for a few weeks, but you can gradually return to your regular activities. Also, the incision scars will fade over time, becoming less noticeable with proper scar care. Everyone's recovery is unique. We will provide guidance for a smooth and successful healing process.
