What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that enhances the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts using implants or fat transfer. This surgery is suitable for individuals looking to increase breast volume, restore breast size after pregnancy or weight loss, and improve body contours.
Types of Breast Implants
There are primarily two types of breast implants used in augmentation:
- Saline Implants: These implants are filled with sterile salt water. They provide a uniform shape and firmness and are FDA-approved for women 18 and older.
- Silicone Implants: Filled with silicone gel, these implants feel more like natural breast tissue. They are approved for women 22 and older.
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
An alternative to implants is fat transfer breast augmentation, where fat is taken from other parts of the body (like the abdomen or thighs) and injected into the breasts. This method is ideal for those seeking a modest increase in breast size and a more natural feel.
Choosing the Right Breast Augmentation Surgeon
Selecting the right surgeon is crucial for achieving safe and satisfying results. At Nirmiti Cosmetic Center, Dr. Neeraj Bhaban is an experienced and board-certified plastic surgeon specializing in breast augmentation and abdominoplasty surgery. Here are some tips for choosing the right surgeon:
Board Certification and Experience
Ensure your surgeon is board-certified and has extensive experience in breast augmentation. Dr. Bhaban’s credentials and years of practice in the field make him a trusted choice for many.
Before and After Photos
Review the surgeon’s portfolio of before and after photos to assess their work quality and aesthetic style. This will give you a realistic expectation of your results.
Patient Reviews and Testimonials
Patient feedback can provide valuable insights into the surgeon’s expertise and bedside manner. Look for reviews that highlight positive experiences and satisfactory outcomes.
Preparing for Breast Augmentation Surgery
Initial Consultation
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation at Nirmiti Cosmetic Center. During this session, Dr. Bhaban will:
- Discuss your goals and expectations.
- Evaluate your health and medical history.
- Explain the procedure, including risks and benefits.
Help you choose the right type and size of implants or discuss the fat transfer option.
Pre-Surgery Instructions
To ensure a smooth surgery and recovery, you’ll receive specific pre-surgery instructions, such as:
- Avoiding certain medications that can increase bleeding.
- Quitting smoking at least a few weeks before surgery.
- Arranging for someone to drive you home and assist you post-surgery.
The Breast Augmentation Procedure
Surgical Steps
- Anesthesia: You’ll receive anesthesia to ensure comfort throughout the surgery. Options include intravenous sedation and general anesthesia.
- Incision: Dr. Bhaban will make an incision in one of the following areas based on your anatomy and desired outcome:
- Inframammary (under the breast)
- Periareolar (around the nipple)
- Transaxillary (under the arm)
- Implant Placement: The implant is placed either under the pectoral muscle (submuscular) or directly behind the breast tissue (subglandular), depending on the type of implant and your body type.
- Closing Incisions: The incisions are closed with layered sutures, and the skin is closed with surgical tape or adhesive.
- Results: The results are immediately visible, though initial swelling will obscure the final look for a few weeks.
Immediate Post-Surgery Care
- Monitoring: You’ll be monitored in the recovery room immediately after surgery.
- Dressings and Support Bra: Your breasts will be covered in gauze, and you’ll wear a support bra to minimize swelling and support healing.
- Pain Management: Pain and discomfort are managed with prescribed medications.
At-Home Care
- Rest and Activity: Rest is crucial, but light walking is encouraged to improve circulation.
- Follow-Up Visits: Attend all scheduled follow-up appointments to monitor healing and progress.
- Avoid Strenuous Activity: Refrain from heavy lifting and vigorous exercise for at least six weeks.
Potential Risks and Complications
As with any surgery, breast augmentation carries potential risks, including:
- Capsular Contracture: Scar tissue can form around the implant, causing the breast to feel firm.
- Implant Rupture or Leakage: Implants can rupture, requiring replacement.
- Infection: Though rare, infections can occur and may need antibiotic treatment.
- Changes in Sensation: Temporary or permanent changes in nipple or breast sensation.
At Nirmiti Cosmetic Center, Dr. Neeraj Bhaban ensures that patients are fully informed about these risks and takes every precaution to minimize them.
Combining Breast Augmentation with Abdominoplasty Surgery
For those seeking a more comprehensive body transformation, combining breast augmentation with abdominoplasty surgery (tummy tuck) is a popular option. This combination, often referred to as a “mommy makeover,” addresses changes in the body post-pregnancy or significant weight loss.
Benefits of Combining Procedures
- Enhanced Overall Results: Simultaneously enhancing the breasts and flattening the abdomen creates a more balanced and proportionate figure.
- Single Recovery Period: Undergoing both procedures at once means only one recovery period, saving time and reducing overall downtime.
- Cost-Effective: Combining surgeries can be more cost-effective than performing them separately.
