Breast Augmentation Surgery
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery procedure to increase breast size and enhance breast shape, typically through the placement of silicone or saline breast implants. From a cosmetic surgeon’s perspective, the ultimate goal of breast augmentation procedure is to enhance a patient’s natural proportions and create a more symmetrical, aesthetically pleasing breast profile. The exact procedure is tailored to meet a woman’s individual needs.
What is Breast Augmentation Surgery?
Breast Augmentation is the surgical placement of Breast implants to increase fullness and projection of the breasts or to improve symmetry of the breasts.
Reasons Breast Augmentation:
- Small Breast size
- Under developed Breasts
- Loss of firmness after Pregnancy or Breast feeding
- Change in shape and size after weight loss.
- Noticeable difference in size of one Breast
- Change in Breast volume due to aging
Breast Augmentation procedure for the emplacement of breast implant devices, thus serves three purposes:
- Primary Reconstruction — the replacement of breast tissues damaged by trauma (blunt, penetrating, blast), disease (breast cancer), and failed anatomic development (tuberous breast deformity).
- Revision and Reconstruction — to revise (correct) the outcome of a previous breast reconstruction surgery.
- Primary Augmentation — to aesthetically augment the size, form, and feel of the breasts.
Benefits of the Breast Augmentation Procedure:
Aesthetic Improvement: Breast augmentation with breast implants enhances a woman’s figure by increasing breast size, reshaping the bust line, and providing shapelier body contour. Small breasts can cause some women to feel that their bust line is disproportionate; creating an overall figure that lacks balance. Breast enlargement can add curves and definition to the body’s profile for an appearance that is more conventionally attractive. Breast enhancement surgery with breast implants can be used to restore breast size and shape following a mastectomy. If a woman’s breasts are of noticeably different sizes, a single breast implant can make the breasts more similar in size, creating an attractive symmetry.
Increased Confidence: Reduced confidence and feelings of inadequacy are common when a woman feels that the size of her breasts is detrimental to her outward appearance. These feelings can be alleviated after a successful breast enhancement surgery adds size and youthful contour to the breasts. Women who have undergone breast enlargement surgery consistently report experiencing increased self-esteem and confidence.
Post Mastectomy Option: A mastectomy, or the removal of one or both breasts as a treatment for cancer, can be traumatic for many women. To regain the bust line they had before their mastectomy, many women will choose to undergo reconstructive breast enhancement surgery, often with breast implants to achieve the most natural look possible.
Complications of Breast Augmentation Procedure
Common complication after breast augmentation surgery may include infection, chronic breast pain, surgical risks, breast or nipple numbness and might be dissatisfaction with how the breast looks with the implant. Few weeks after the surgery soreness, swelling and bruising is possible
