What Is Breast Augmentation Surgery? A Brief Introduction Some women may feel uneasy and ashamed about their small breast size. They can now opt for breast augmentation surgery to achieve the desired breast shape. Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical operation involving either fat transfer or breast implants made of silicone or saline that help make breasts look more aesthetically appealing. Dr. Mrinalini Sharma at Aestiva Clinic offers the best Breast Augmentation in Delhi, to assist one in achieving the desired breast size. This method can be modified to satisfy the patient's surgical expectations.

Who are the Ideal Candidates for Breast Augmentation?  Women who desire to restore the reduced breast  Volume loss caused by pregnancy or rapid weight reduction  Someone who seeks to enhance the balance between their two breasts  Women who desire larger breasts and enhanced projection  If one wants to add credit to the outfit to complement one's curvaceous pelvis  If tuberous breast abnormalities need to be corrected, mammoplasty may also be an option

How is Breast Augmentation carried out?  During the surgical procedure, one will receive medication for comfort. Both general and intravenous sedations are options. The doctor will advise the ideal choice.  To reduce the visibility of scars, incisions are made in discrete locations. There are several possible incision locations, including the armpit, the crease under the breast, and the areolar margin (peri-areolar incision) (axillary incision). A belly-button method has a higher rate of complications. Note: The kind of breast implant, the level of augmentation desired, the unique anatomy, and the surgeon-patient preference all affect the type of incisions used.  Following the incision, a breast implant is placed into a pocket in two ways: Just beneath the chest muscle (a submuscular insertion) and Submammary/sub-glandular placement: directly beneath the breast tissue, above the pectoral muscle. Depending on the type of implant, the level of augmentation wanted, one's body type, and the surgeon's advice, the procedure for inserting and getting breast implants will vary.  Layered sutures are used to heal breast tissue incisions, and surgical tape, sutures, or skin adhesive is used to repair skin incisions. The incision scars will disappear over time. Numerous factors, such as genetics, nicotine exposure, and infection, affect the scar's quality.  Breast augmentation results are instantly visible.


What are the Types of Incisions?  Inframammary: Located in the crease beneath the breasts, this incision is around 4 to 5 cm long (depending on the breast implant size). This is an inconspicuous area that gradually fades into invisibility.  Peri-areolar: Compared to an inframammary incision, a peri-areolar one is more obvious and prominent. This incision is made either at the intersection of the areola and breast epidermis or around the nipple.  Axillary: Compared to the two-incision types, this is the better choice. Surgeons make the incision using an endoscopic technique while inserting an implant through the axillary incision.

What happens After the Procedure?  After surgery, there may be some pain and swelling for a few weeks. Bruising is also possible. Scars should lighten with time but not vanish.  Wearing a compression garment or sports bra could be beneficial for further support and alignment of the breast implants while one is healing. Additionally, the surgeon might recommend painkillers.  Follow the surgeon's recommendations for when to resume normal activities. One can return to work in a few weeks if they don't have a physically demanding job.  For a minimum of two weeks, refrain from engaging in demanding activities that could increase the heart rate or blood pressure. While recovering, remember that the breasts will be vulnerable to abrupt movements or physical contact.  One will require a follow-up consultation to remove the sutures if the surgeon applied sutures that don't dissolve on their own or if they inserted drainage tubes close to the breasts. • One should call the surgeon if one experiences chest pain or shortness of breath.

What can be the Risks Involved in this? Risks associated with breast augmentation include:  Scar tissue that alters the breast implant's form (capsular contracture)  Infection  Changes in the breast and nipple sensation • Changes in implant position Note: Additional surgery to either replace or remove the implants may be necessary to resolve these issues.
