WHAT IS A BREAST AUGMENTATION?




Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that aims to increase the size, shape, or fullness of the breasts. It involves placing implants under the breast tissue or chest muscles. Some women may choose to have breast augmentation to enhance their appearance, and self-confidence, or balance their body proportions. Others may need it for breast reconstruction after mastectomy or injury.

ABOUT THE BREAST AUGMENTATION PROCEDURE



The Breast Augmentation procedure is usually done under general anesthesia, which means you will be asleep and not feel any pain. The surgeon will make an incision in one of three possible places: along the underside of the breast, around the nipple, or under the arm. The surgeon will then create a pocket in the breast tissue or chest muscle to insert the implant. The implant will be centered behind the nipple. The incision will be closed with stitches, tape, or glue.

BREAST AUGMENTATION RECOVERY



The Breast Augmentation recovery time varies depending on the individual and the type of surgery. You will likely feel sore and swollen for a few days after the surgery. You may also have bruising, numbness, or tingling in your breasts. You will need to wear a special bra or bandage to support your breasts and help them heal. You will be given pain medication and antibiotics to prevent infection. You will be advised to avoid strenuous activities, such as lifting, bending, or driving, for at least a week. You will also need to avoid sleeping on your stomach or chest for several weeks. You will have follow-up visits with your surgeon to check your healing and remove any stitches. You may need to wait several months before you can see the final results of your surgery, as your breasts will gradually settle into their new shape and position.

ARE YOU THE RIGHT CANDIDATE FOR A BREAST AUGMENTATION?



You may be a good candidate for Breast Augmentation if you meet the following criteria:


  • You are physically healthy and not pregnant or breastfeeding.
  • You have realistic expectations and goals for the surgery.
  • You are unhappy with the size, shape, or symmetry of your breasts.
  • You have lost breast volume or shape due to aging, weight loss, or pregnancy.
  • You have a congenital or acquired deformity of the breast.
  • You have had a previous breast surgery that resulted in unsatisfactory outcomes.

Breast Implants are not lifetime devices and may need to be replaced at some point in the future. The lifespan of breast implants varies depending on the type, quality, and care of the implants, as well as the individual's body and lifestyle. Some implants may last longer than others, but there is no guarantee that they will last forever. The average lifespan of breast implants is 10 years, but some may last longer or shorter. You should have regular check-ups with your surgeon to monitor the condition of your implants and detect any problems early. You should also be aware of the signs and symptoms of implant failure, such as changes in the shape, size, or feel of your breasts, pain, swelling, redness, or inflammation. If you notice any of these signs or symptoms, you should contact your surgeon immediately.

As with any surgery, Breast Augmentation has some risks and complications, such as bleeding, infection, scarring, pain, changes in sensation, implant leakage or rupture, capsular contracture (hardening of the scar tissue around the implant), implant displacement or malposition, asymmetry, wrinkling or rippling of the skin, and need for revision surgery. You should discuss these risks and complications with your surgeon before the surgery and follow their instructions carefully to minimize them.
