Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that increases woman's bust line by one or more bra cup sizes. By implants breasts easily go up to two sizes, i.e. “A” cup size can easily go up to “C” cup size and “B” cup size can easily go up to “D” cup size. Breast augmentation by implant provides immediate result and is the most rewarding cosmetic surgery for the patient as well as surgeon.
Women may choose to under go breast enlargement surgery for various reasons:
- To enhance the body contour & looks
- Breasts are too small to be look like feminine
- Breasts have become smaller and loose after having children
- Weight loss has changed the size and shape of your breasts
- One of your breasts is smaller than the other.
Breast Augmentation / implant options:
- Saline filled breast implants
- Silicone gel filled breast implants (Textured)
- Fat Grafting
Textured Silicone gel filled implants are the most commonly used implants for Breast augmentation because of its better & natural feeling and very less chances of complications as compared to saline filled implants. But beware of some cheaper quality Chinese made low standard implants, which may save some of your money but are not safe for long term & may harm you seriously.
Fat grafting is also used increasingly for breast augmentation. Fat cells are very rich source of Stem Cells, and when injected into the breast, it augments the size of breast significantly without any long-term side effects. We are using Cell Enriched Fat Grafting, which contains large number of Stem Cells & Growth factors to provide good long-term beneficial effects. The importance of breast augmentation by using Fat Grafting is that no foreign material is inserted in your body and it is your own fat (harvested from your own tummy or inner thighs) used to increase the breast size. So there is great psychological benefit of no fear of any long-term side effect of any implant. It provides dual benefit in the sense that it enhance your bust size and simultaneously reduces the fat deposits from your tummy & thigh as well, so ultimately beneficial to your figure. But the draw back of fat grafting is that the ultimate size of breast enhancement is unpredictable and you may need to under go 2-3 sittings of fat grafting to get desired result.
The size and type of breast implant recommended, the method of inserting and positioning the implant will be determined by your goals for breast enhancement, your body frame and your existing breast tissue.
A short incision can be made either in the crease under the breast (infra-mammary crease) or around the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple) or in the armpit. Armpit incision leaves no scar on the breast and this method of implant placement is called 'Endoscopy-assisted' breast augmentation. The infra-mammary incisions are most commonly used because of its hidden nature, least visibility and minimum disturbance to natural breast tissues. Working through the incision, a pocket will be created, either directly behind the breast tissue or underneath your chest wall muscle (pectoral muscle). There are different reasons for placing the implants on top of or underneath the muscle, which will be discussed with you before surgery.
Incision Plane of Implant
Following your breast augmentation surgery you may feel a little stiff and sore in the chest region for few days. Dressing will be removed in few days, and you may be instructed to wear a support bra. You may experience difficulty raising your arms for a week or two. You should not engage in any strenuous activity. Some discoloration and swelling will occur initially, but this will disappear quickly in one or two weeks. The residual swelling will almost resolve within a month. Overall the social downtime after breast augmentation is 2-3 days or a maximum of a week or so. The scars will fade with time and will become very less visible but on very closer look they will never disappear completely. In the initial few weeks there might be reduced sensation over the nipple or breast, but this is usually temporary and comes to normal in a month or two.
