What is breast augmentation?

Breast augmentation or augmentation mammoplasty is a surgical procedure done to increase breast size. Breast implants are placed under the breast tissue to enhance thelook of the breasts.

There are various reasons for undergoing breast augmentation. While some women opt for it to feel more confident, others do it reconstruct uneven breasts after a breast surgery for cancer or other conditions.

There are two types of breast implants that you can opt for:

Saline implants: These types of implants are empty when inserted but later on filled with sterile salt water.
Silicone implants: Silicone gel is already present in the silicone implants and they are inserted as it is.

Consult experienced plastic surgeons at the Healing hospital, Chandigarh to understand more about the breast augmentation procedure, risks and after-care.

How to prepare for breast augmentation surgery?

You will be told in detail about the different kinds of implants and the surgical techniques employed to place them.
Clear any doubts with your plastic surgeon that you might have before giving your approval for breast augmentation.

What are breast augmentation risks?

Pain in the breasts
Rupturing of the implant
Alteration in the implant position
Post-surgery, there might be a difference in the nipple and breast sensation.
Presence of scar tissue, that can change the shape of your breast implant is another risk associated with breast augmentation.
All the above mentioned complications might require further surgical procedures to change the implants.

What is the breast augmentation recovery period?

Inflammation and tenderness in the breasts are common for a few weeks after the surgical procedure.
Although the surgical scars will lighten over a period of time, they don’t go away completely.
You might be advised to wear a compression bandage or sports bra to provide extra cushioning or support for the implants.
Depending on your condition, pain medications can be prescribed by the specialist surgeon.
You might be able to resume your job a few weeks after the breast augmentation surgery. However, those with physically demanding jobs have to wait longer to get back to work.
Avoid jerks or physical contact as your breasts will be sensitive to both during the healing period.
Any heavy-duty exercises or tasks that increase your pulse rate or blood pressure should be avoided for at least two weeks after the surgery.
Your surgeon might use drainage tubes post-surgery, so you will need to get them removed in your next appointment with the surgeon.
If the plastic surgeon has used stitches that do not dissolve on their own, you will have to follow-up for removing them.
Redness or warmth in the breasts and fever could be a sign of infection and should be reported to your specialist doctor immediately.
Some uncommon symptoms that could cause problem for you post-surgery include chest pain or difficulty in breathing.

What happens during breast augmentation procedure?

– In most cases, breast augmentation surgery does not require an overnight stay at the hospital. It is very rare that the patient needs to stay back.
– Often, breast augmentation is done under general anesthesia but sometimes it can be performed after administering local anesthesia as well. It is up to the plastic surgeon to decide what works the best for you.
– During the breast augmentation procedure, the plastic surgeon will make a single cut under your arm or around the nipple. Sometimes the incision can also be made in the fold under the breast.
– In the next step, the breast tissue is separated from the muscles and tissues of the chest.
– A pocket is created wherein the breast implant is inserted.
– Once the implant is put in the correct place, the incision is closed with stitches and a skin adhesive is used to bandage the cut.
