Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation (also referred to as breast enlargement or augmentation mammaplasty) is a surgical procedure that works to increase or restore the size of your natural breasts using artificial implants or, in some cases, fat from your own body. Breast augmentation has afforded many women the opportunity to achieve their ideal breast profile.
Breast Augmentation:
Achieve a Flatter, More Defined Midsection
Breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic surgery designed to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. The procedure involves the placement of implants (saline or silicone) either under the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle to achieve fuller, more youthful-looking breasts.
It is commonly sought by individuals looking to restore breast volume after weight loss or pregnancy, or those seeking to enhance their natural breast size. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia, and recovery typically takes 1 to 2 weeks, with most patients returning to normal activities in about a month. The results of breast augmentation are long-lasting, although changes in weight or pregnancy can affect the appearance over time.
Goals of Procedures
- Enhance Breast Size and Volume:
To increase the size of the breasts for a fuller and more proportionate figure, often using implants (saline or silicone) to achieve the desired volume. - Improve Breast Symmetry:
To correct asymmetry between the breasts, providing a more balanced and natural appearance. - Restore Breast Volume:
To restore volume lost due to pregnancy, weight loss, or aging, resulting in a youthful and rejuvenated appearance. - Boost Confidence and Self-Esteem:
To help individuals feel more confident in their appearance, especially when it comes to clothing and swimwear. - Achieve Natural-Looking Results:
To create results that are in harmony with the body’s proportions, providing a natural, well-balanced look that enhances a woman’s overall silhouette.
Procedure time
Breast augmentation typically takes 1 to 2 hours, depending on the type of implant and surgical approach used.
Number of nights in hospital
Most patients can go home the same day, but some may choose to stay overnight for observation, especially after more extensive procedures.
Recovery
Initial recovery usually takes 1 to 2 weeks, with most patients returning to light activities after this period. Full recovery can take 4 to 6 weeks, and any swelling or discomfort will gradually subside.
