Breast Augmentation Surgery

• If you are bothered by a feeling that your Breasts are too small.
• If you have small breasts, which look out of proportion to their body shape.
• If you have lost breast volume due to weight loss or pregnancy.
• If you have an appreciable difference in sizes of both breasts.
• For reconstruction after Breast surgeries.

During Consultation, you will be asked about your desired Breast size and shape. This will help the surgeon to understand your expectations. The surgeon will assess your chest size, your body shape & determine whether they realistically can be achieved. A surgeon will let you know approximately the cup size that will increase afterwards.

If your Breasts are sagging a Breast Lift may be recommended in conjunction with Augmentation.

Silicone implants are now commonly used for Breast Enlargement. During the consultation, the surgeon will assess your physique and your desire for size before recommending you the most suitable implant.

Incisions !!
Incision can be made underneath the breast at the infra mammary crease (inframammary) OR around the lower edge of the areola (peri areolar) OR  within the axilla (axillary)

Implant pocket !!
Traditionally, the implant can be placed either behind the breast tissue (sub mammary) or under the pectoral muscle (sub muscular) . Both techniques have their pros and cons. We now place the implant under the pectoral muscle fascia i.e. sub fascial pocket, which is the recent & most popular technique in the west. Sub fascial pocket has advantages of both sub mammary & sub pectoral pocket.

Scar!!
The scar will be hidden discretely underneath the breast fold.

Yes, once the swelling has subsided in about 3-4 weeks time, your breast will look and feel natural.

• After Consultation with the surgeon, you will be asked to get a few blood tests done, to ascertain your general fitness for surgery.
• Breast enlargement is a day care procedure. You are asked to come to the clinic in the morning.
• It is done under General Anesthesia. The surgery lasts for about 1-2hrs on an average.
• You will be shifted to your room after that. Your Breast would be wrapped in gauze dressings.
• You can go back home in the evening.
• There may be some Post operative Swelling& bruising over the chest, but it settles down fast.

First, follow up on the 3rd day after surgery. Your gauze dressings would be removed & you will be asked to wear support/ sports bra for at least 3 months.
After that, you will be called on the 7th day for stitch removal.

You can resume your personal chorus in the evening. But we advise you to keep your activities restricted for at least 3 days.
Vigorous movements of your arms may be restricted for a few weeks.

• Every year thousands of women undergo successful breast enlargement surgery, however, anyone considering surgery should be aware of risks associated with the procedure
• Reactions to Anesthesia/ Drugs.
