What is Breast Augmentation?

What is Breast Augmentation?

Posted on: 10 Jun, 2024

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at increasing the size and enhancing the shape of the breasts. This procedure is popular among individuals seeking to improve their physical appearance, restore shape lost after pregnancy or weight loss, or correct natural asymmetries.


Breast augmentation has several objectives, including:

  • Enhancing Breast Aesthetics: Providing a more proportionate and attractive appearance.
  • Correcting Asymmetries: Balancing the size and shape of the breasts when there are natural discrepancies.
  • Restoring Lost Volume: Recovering volume lost due to factors such as pregnancy, breastfeeding, or significant weight loss.
  • Boosting Self-Confidence: Helping patients feel more comfortable and confident with their appearance.

Procedure

The breast augmentation process includes several stages:

  1. Initial Consultation: The patient meets with the plastic surgeon to discuss expectations, review medical history, and select the appropriate type of implant (saline, silicone, or newer alternatives like cohesive gel implants).
  2. Surgery Planning: The size and type of implant, as well as the surgical technique to be used, are determined. Incisions can be made in different locations: in the inframammary fold, around the areola, or in the armpit.
  3. Surgical Procedure: The surgery is performed under general anesthesia. The surgeon creates a pocket in the breast where the implant will be placed. The implant can be placed submuscularly (under the pectoral muscle) or subglandularly (behind the breast tissue).
  4. Closure and Recovery: Incisions are closed with sutures, adhesives, or surgical tapes. Recovery includes rest and postoperative follow-up to ensure proper healing and optimal results.

Types of Implants

The implants used in breast augmentation vary in materials and shapes:

  • Saline Implants: Filled with a sterile saline solution. They are adjustable in size and can be inserted empty and filled later.
  • Silicone Implants: Contain a silicone gel that mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. They are popular for their more natural appearance and feel.
  • Cohesive Gel Implants: Also known as "gummy bear implants," they have a firmer, more cohesive gel that maintains its shape better than traditional silicone implants.

Risks and Considerations

As with any surgery, breast augmentation carries certain risks, including:

  • Infection: May require antibiotic treatment or, in severe cases, implant removal.
  • Capsular Contracture: Formation of scar tissue around the implant that can cause pain and deformity.
  • Implant Rupture or Leakage: Requires additional surgical intervention.
  • Changes in Sensation: May occur in the nipple or breast, usually temporary but occasionally permanent.

Conclusion

Breast augmentation is a common aesthetic procedure that can provide significant improvements in the patient’s appearance and self-esteem. It is crucial for individuals interested in this procedure to be well-informed, choose a certified plastic surgeon, and understand the associated benefits and risks. Detailed consultation and meticulous planning are essential to achieving satisfactory and safe results.
