The size of the implant was already finalized by the surgeon after making a systematic study about the size of the existing breast and the expectation of the candidate. After the implant has been fixed to its final position the incision is closed by using surgical thread.  A snug dressing will be done which will remain there for about one week. Follow up care during the first week is very important and so the patient will have to stay near to the hospital during the above period.
