Breast augmentation is performed to balance a difference in Breast-size,
improve body contour or as a post-surgery reconstructive technique.
Silicone shells filled with saline solution are implanted either
directly under the breast tissue or beneath the chest wall muscle,
giving breasts a fuller and more natural contour. The
methods for inserting and positioning implants depend on the patient’s
anatomy and doctor recommendations. Incisions are made in as
inconspicuous an area as possible – usually the armpit, around the
areola (nipple area), or under the breast itself to minimize visible
scarring. Working through these incisions, the doctor lifts the breast
tissue and inserts the implant. It is then centered beneath the nipple,
either under or above the pectoral muscle.
Breast augmentation has
been available for over 40 years. With that said, the surgical
techniques and breast implants themselves are continuously being
refined, increasing the safety and reliability of the procedure. Breast
augmentation will make your breasts fuller and enhance their shape. In
addition, you will find it easier to wear certain styles of clothing and
swim wear. Like many women who have had breast augmentation, you may
have a boost in self-confidence.
Undoubtedly perkier, shapely breasts make a woman feel complete. Thanks to the advanced cosmetic surgery,
this can be the reality for any woman. The breast implants have been
declared safe. Neither they hinder in breast feeding nor they cause or
increase chances of breast tumor or cancer. Purpose:
To increase the breast size
To get perkier more youthful breasts, with minimum possible scars>
To correct breast asymmetry (if the size of two breasts is different)
To make female breasts as a part of gender reassignment surgery
Procedure:
Under total sterile conditions an implant is inserted through an
incision under the breast or around the nipple or in the axilla. With
meticulous care and closure of incision with ultra-fine sutures, scar
settles so nicely over the time that it becomes hardly appreciable
especially into the axilla. We use textured silicone implants (US FDA
approved breast implants) as their feel is natural.
The other method for breast augmentation
is fat grafting also known as lip injection. This is useful especially
when mild to moderate augmentation is desired and to correct unequal
size of the breasts. In this fat is harvested from your own body and
used for breast enlargement. The fat being your own tissue is safe. This
procedure is gratifying in select patients, though it may need touch up
procedure. How to choose Implant Size: You will
be examined in detail to assess the size of the implants to be used.
Size or volume of implant depends on many factors like:
Patient’s desire
Amount of existing breast tissue and skin
Chest size
Sagging / drooping of breasts
Duration of Procedure: 1 – 2 hrs Anesthesia: General Recovery Tim: You
can go to home in the evening or next day. Return to work within a
Week. Strenuous activities should be avoided for initial 3 to 4 weeks. Longevity of Results: Permanent
