Breast Augmentation
Breast Augmentation in Mumbai
A cosmetic surgical technique called breast augmentation, sometimes referred to as breast enlargement or enhancement, uses implants to increase a woman’s breasts’ size, fullness, and form. This procedure can help women achieve their desired breast appearance, whether it’s for personal satisfaction, post-pregnancy changes, or other reasons.
What is Breast Augmentation with Implants?
Implants are positioned beneath the chest muscle or under the breast tissue in breast augmentation. This surgical procedure is designed to enhance the overall appearance of the breasts, providing a fuller and more proportional silhouette. With various types of implants available, patients can choose options that best suit their individual aesthetic goals.
- Customised Solutions
Patients can select from various implant types, shapes, and sizes to achieve their desired look. - Natural Appearance
Modern implants are designed to provide a more natural feel and look compared to earlier versions. - Minimal Scarring
The incisions made during the procedure are typically small and strategically placed to minimise visible scarring.
Types of Breast Implants
Breast augmentation can be done using a variety of implants, including
- Silicone Implants
 Known for their natural feel, these implants are filled with silicone gel, which closely resembles the texture of breast tissue. - Saline Implants
 Filled with sterile saltwater, saline implants are adjustable in size and can be inserted through smaller incisions. - Gummy Bear Implants
 These are made from a thicker silicone gel that maintains its shape better than traditional silicone implants.
Who is a Suitable Candidate?
Candidates for breast augmentation often need to meet the requirements listed below
- Physical Health
Candidates should be in good overall health and not have any conditions that could affect healing or recovery. - Realistic ExpectationsÂ
It is critical to have a clear grasp of what the technique can achieve and to set realistic expectations for the outcome. - Fully Developed Breasts
Candidates should have fully developed breasts, typically over the age of 18. - Non-Smokers
Those who do not smoke, or are willing to quit before surgery, tend to heal better and have fewer complications.
Advantages of Breast Augmentation with Implants
- Increases breast size and fullness, helping to achieve a more proportional body silhouette.
- Provides fullness to breasts that may have lost volume due to factors like ageing, pregnancy, or weight loss.
- Improves self-image and confidence by refining the body's contours and enhancing natural body shape.
- When properly maintained, breast implants can provide long-term enhancement, allowing for a sustained improvement in appearance.
What to Expect During the Procedure
Usually performed under general anaesthesia, breast augmentation surgery takes one to two hours. Here’s what you can expect
- Consultation
The surgeon will discuss your aesthetic goals, examine your body, and recommend the best implant options for you. - Placement of Implants
Depending on the chosen technique, implants may be placed either under the breast tissue or beneath the muscle for optimal results. - Incision Closure
After the implants are in place, the incisions will be closed with sutures, which may be absorbable or require removal later.
Recovery and Aftercare
- Wear a Supportive Bra
A surgical or sports bra is typically recommended to support the breasts during the initial healing phase. - Limit Physical Activity
Patients should avoid strenuous exercise and heavy lifting for several weeks to allow for proper healing. - Follow-Up Appointments
Regular follow-up visits with the surgeon are essential to monitor healing and ensure the implants are settling correctly.
When to Expect Final Results
While you will notice immediate changes in breast size after surgery, the final shape and position of the breasts may take several weeks to fully develop as swelling decreases and the tissues adjust.
