Breast Enlargement Surgery Explained :

Commonly either of the two methods are used for Breast Augmentation Surgery - See Below.

1. Breast Silicone Implants Surgery : Normally carried out through implanting a silicone shell filled with silicone of desired size. This is surgically placed behind each breast by cosmetic & plastic surgeons to increase the size and or change the appearance of breasts. These Silicone implants come in different sizes and shapes to suit the patient needs. The method of inserting and positioning the implants will depend on your anatomy and your surgeon's recommendation. The incision can be made either in the crease where the breast meets the chest, around the areola (the dark skin surrounding the nipple), or in the armpit. Every effort will be made to assure that the incision so is placed such that the resulting scars will be as secretive as possible. The surgery usually takes one to two hours to complete. Stitches are used to close the incisions, which may also be taped for greater support. A gauze bandage may be applied over your breasts to help with healing.

2. Breast Fat Implants : Also known as Breast Fat Grafting. This surgical procedure is a combination procedure of Light Liposuction and Fat Implants i,e, Grafts. First of all the Plastic and Cosmetic surgeon harvests excess fat from donor areas such as abdomen, thighs, hips, back etc. through light liposuction. These extracted fat cells are then injected using special syringe in the breast area. The procedure is less invasive in comparison to the Breasts Implants procedure and the patient is normally mobile within 3 days of surgery and the healing for liposuction cum fat grafting is over within a fortnight (2 weeks).

   The Advantages of Breast Fat Implants procedure (Breast Fat Injection) are that it needs lesser time for recovery and the chances of any rejection of own body fat are zero. Because of light liposuction of unwanted body fat the patient's body attains a somewhat much more contoured and youthful look.

   The main Disadvantage of Breast Fat Grafting procedure (Breast Fat Injection) is that the injected fat cells gets absorbed by the body - it is a natural process. It has been seen that anything between 25% to 50% of the injected fat gets absorbed during the first 90 days of Fat Grafting. There after (After 90 days) whatever fat is left it remains intact permanently. What percent of fat would be absorbed by the body after Buttocks fat grafting varies from individual to individual.

Breast Enlargement Surgery using Silicone Implants Advised To :

Breast augmentation is widely sought after by many ladies young, middle aged and old, not only to enhance their personal upper body profile, but also to build a sense of positive self assurance. Breast Implants Surgery enhances the size and shape of a woman's breast, who for personal reasons, feels that her breast size is too small.

Normally women approach for Breast Enhancement Surgery when they require :

• Correction of a reduction in breast volume after pregnancy.

• Balancing of a difference in breast size or a reconstruction following Surgery.

• Enhancing your appearance and your self-confidence.

• For any other reason.

These decisions are most personal and rather difficult for others to comprehend. It’s important as to how one feels about it. If you feel that you have met your goals, then your surgery is a successful and rewarding. For many women, the result of breast augmentation surgery can be satisfying, or even exhilarating, as they learn to appreciate their fuller appearance.

Period Of Treatment :

The time taken from surgery and being discharged from hospital / clinic is usually within 24 hours.

Post operative Treatment :

In most instances, the surgeon will see you on the second post-op day to be sure that you are doing well and to start the very important routine of the post-op displacement massage.

As your breasts will probably be sensitive to direct stimulation for two to three weeks, so you should avoid much physical contact in this period.

Your scars can be prominent for at least six weeks and they may tend to remain the same size for several months. After this period, they will gradually begin to fade, although they will never disappear completely.

Regular examination and routine mammograms for those in the appropriate age groups at prescribed intervals will help assure that any complications or sequlae, if they occur, can be detected early and treated.

Facts That You  Should Know :

We encourage you to discuss the pros and cons of these alternatives with your doctor before surgery and understand the implications of the procedure that he or she recommends for you.

Fortunately complications of breast enlargement surgery are uncommon, and most of the determinant of the final result occurs at the moment of the surgery, and is not nearly as governed by post-op activity, other than the massage.  You should be able to return to work within a few days, depending on the level of activity required for your job.

Some women report that their nipples become oversensitive, under-sensitive, or even numb. You may also notice small patches of numbness near your incisions. These symptoms usually disappear within time.

There is no evidence that breast implants will affect fertility, pregnancy, or your ability to nurse. If, however, you have nursed a baby within the year before breast augmentation, you may produce milk for a few days after surgery. This may cause some discomfort, but can be treated with medication prescribed by your doctor.

While there is no evidence that breast implants cause breast cancer, they may change the way mammography is done to detect cancer. When you request a routine mammogram, be sure to go to a radiology center where technicians are experienced in the special techniques required to get a reliable x-ray of a breast with an implant. Additional views will be required. Ultrasound examinations may be of benefit in some women with implants to detect breast lumps or to evaluate the implant.

While the majority of women do not experience these complications, you should discuss each of them with your physician to make sure you understand the risks and consequence.

In case you are traveling from a different city, the consultations and surgeries would fall on consecutive days, and the team plans a compressed follow-up, aiming to get you home on the 3rd or 4th post-op day. A preliminary history and physical examination allows the surgeon to make a good estimate of the potential need for skin adjustments (a mastopexy), as well as to estimate the shape, volume and placement of the implant.

Discuss your expectations openly and in full confidence with your plastic surgeon and understand your alternatives and the risks and limitations of each option. Be sure to inform your surgeon if you smoke, and if you're taking any medications, or other drugs.

Selecting a predetermined size in your mind is the surest way to be disappointed. Don't get too set on an exact implant volume, shape or size. Each implant will appear different when placed in say ten women or for the matter even a hundred women as each lady's individual characteristics are distinctly different.

Rest assured, your plastic surgeon will always consider all options and select and advise you on the best that would suit in your case.
