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.
Although breast augmentation
surgery is one of the commonest cosmetic surgery procedures in today's
times, very few women know about the kind & variety of options
available to them in terms of implant types, sizes & incisions for
the procedure.
According to American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery,
breast augmentation has been the most popular cosmetic surgical
procedure for 3 years in a row & more than 318,000 breast
augmentation procedures were done in USA alone, in 2011. Even though
these numbers give us
an idea about the awareness regarding the
procedure, the fact is that most women are quite ignorant about the
finer details that are very important for the success of your surgery.
Breast Implant Types & Sizes:
While it is universally known that Breast implantsare
of two types, silicone gel implants & saline implants, there are
several other very important factors & details that any female
considering breast augmentation needs to know. Some of them are-
Implant
surface: The surface of implant is chosen as per individual
requirements. Implants with textured surfaces are mainly used to reduce
the chance of capsular contraction.
Implant shape: round or shaped
Implant
placement: Beneath the breast tissue, 'unders' or 'partial unders' or
beneath the pectoral muscle- The ideal breast implant placement depends
on the size of the breast implants, the patient's individual anatomy,
the quality of breast skin and the patient's cosmetic goals.
Implant profile: how far the implant protrudes
Implant size or volume: size typically ranges from 120 to 850 cc
Implant type: saline or silicone
Incisions for Breast Augmentation surgery:
The
breast implant surgery is done by inserting implants either behind or
in front of the pectoral muscle. There are various techniques of
inserting the implant which are chosen by the surgeondepending
on the patient's preference, type and size of the implant, shape of the
body and the surgeon's expertise with the technique.
The several choices regarding the location of these incisions are:
Inframammary
Incision - The incision is placed near the crease under the breasts,
slightly above where the breast and rib cage meet.
Periareolar Incision- This incision is placed between the
Areola, which is the circular area on the breast such as the colored skin surrounding the nipple and the breast skin.
Transaxillary Incision - Incision in the armpit.
TUBA
Incision - Also known as scar less incision, this technique involves
placing the implant through the belly button and taking it up to the
breast thereby resulting in no incision and scar on the breast. The
implants used in this technique can only be saline implants which are
inflated after they reach the breast. Silicone implants which are much
superior cannot be used with this technique.
It is important
to discuss the options that suit you best with your treating surgeon.
Please note that it is the treating surgeon who can advise you the
implant and surgical placement that suits you best after a physical
examination.

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
