What is Breast Augmentation?

Beauty plays a vital role in today’s world. It provides immense confidence in people. Thanks to the advancement in the medical industry, one can alter their looks as per their interest with ease. Here in this article, I would like to enlighten everyone, particularly on breast augmentation procedure. Breast Augmentation is a surgical procedure through which one will be able to obtain fuller and firmer breasts. Smaller breasts size or sagging breasts could affect the confidence to a significant extent. Breast augmentation surgery can be done with either using breast implants or fat grafting to enhance one’s look effortlessly. Breast augmentation procedure is medically termed as “Mammoplasty”.

Who Should Opt For Breast Augmentation?

There is no particular candidate for undergoing a breast augmentation procedure. Anyone looking forward to enhancing her breasts in any way desired could absolutely go for it. Most of the patients who prefer breast implant fall under any of the below categories.

• Many women tend to lose volume due to excessive weight loss or pregnancy. Breast augmentation surgery could be considered in that case.
• Women having smaller breasts can go for breast implant to attain larger breasts.
• If women have asymmetrical breasts, it could affect their look as well. Breast augmentation surgery can significantly improve the looks.
• Women’s breasts might get saggy as they age. The breast implant could be a solution to have firmer breasts.

What are the Types of Breast Implant?

When the patients decide to undergo surgery, it might be challenging for them to correlate all the information they find through various sources. I would like to make their work simple. Underneath are the types of implants available.

• Textured Implants – It has a rough surface. Has been in use for last few decades. However, there have been reports of a condition known as ALCL due to this and hence I do not use these!
• Smooth Implants – It has a silicone rubber shell and it is extremely smooth. It is exceptionally effective and safe of all the breast implants
• Nano-textured Implants – If the patients are seeking a more natural look, this particular implant could be opted. These implants are filled with silicone gel. It is smooth as well.

I have handled so many patients in all these years. The widest spread problem the patients face is to understand whether they would be able to obtain the results they desire. It is absolutely reasonable for anyone to feel that way. Crisalix 3D simulation has proved to provide immense relief for this situation. I will be capturing a few pictures of the patients during the consultation and will feed the images to the 3D simulator. I would incorporate the changes the patients expect through the surgery as well. Crisalix 3D simulation will enable them to view the outcome of the surgery. This would furnish them with a more vivid picture, and they could request any changes if required. I have found this technique has enormously assisted the patients to decide properly.

How about the Recovery Process?

Breast augmentation is a straightforward out-patient procedure. The patients will be fit to resume their routine activities typically in a day or two. They will be regularly consulting with me post the procedure as well. Once they get a go-ahead to carry out strenuous exercise, they can perform that as well. Typically, they will be fit to perform strenuous activities somewhere between 4 and 6 weeks. It is absolutely normal to feel slight discomfort post the surgery for a week. If it is unbearable, the patients could reach out to me anytime for assistance. The patients will have to consider going for regular follow-ups to assess breast health. It is vital to keep examining the state of breast tissue post the surgery.

The patients need to wear a compression garment (sports bra) continuously for four weeks post surgery. They will have to wear it round the clock. After a month, they can wear the compression garment only during the day. They can get rid of them only after the confirmation from my end. I personally design the compression garment for each patient separately. Hence, the patients can be assured that it would fit them excellently to ensure tremendous results. The compression garment possesses a capability to minimize the bruising and swelling to a significant extent. It gives a great contour to the body as well.

I will be communicating a few instructions and precautions to be followed by the patients during the time of recovery. It is essential for the patients to carry out all the instructions diligently. This would enhance the results to a significant extent. It would promote their recovery process too. Have more questions? Contact us right away and schedule an appointment with me. I will be more than delighted to address all the queries.
