If you often wish that your breasts were larger, fuller, or more shapely, breast augmentation surgery may be the right choice for you. Breast augmentation (also called augmentation mammoplasty) is a cosmetic procedure that uses implants to enlarge and shape the breasts. Your new look will bring you greater freedom with clothing and may give your self-image a boost as well.

Women who choose to have breast augmentation surgery do so to improve their self-image. Some feel dissatisfied because their breasts never developed to a size that meets their expectations. Others want to bring balance to a breast that is somewhat smaller than the other. Often, women want the procedure to restore their natural breast volume, which may have decreased as a result of pregnancy, weight loss or aging.

Any one of the following feelings or conditions may indicate that you are a good candidate for breast augmentation:

  • You are bothered by the feeling that your breasts are too small
  • Weight loss has changed the size and shape of your breasts
  • After having children, your breasts have become smaller and have lost their firmness
  • Dresses that fit well around your hips are often too large at the bustline
  • One of your breasts is noticeably smaller than the other
  • You feel self-conscious wearing a swimsuit or form-fitting top.

The incision is small and is usually made in one of three locations: underneath the breast just above the crease; around the lower edge of the areola; or within the armpit. Once the incision is made, the surgeon creates a pocket into which the implant is inserted. This pocket is made either directly behind the breast tissue or beneath the pectoral muscle located below the breast tissue and above the chest wall.

Most women having breast augmentation surgery today receive saline-filled implants or silicone gel implants. Saline implants are silicone rubber shell filled with salt water and silicone gel implants are filled with silicone gel.

Each year, thousands of women undergo breast augmentation surgery and experience no major complications. Breast implants are not known to interfere with breastfeeding nor do they cause cancer. No surgery is entirely risk free . Bleeding, infection , implant leak and hardness around the implants are some of the possible risks.Surgery is usually done under general anaesthesia .. Patient can go home the same day and join work in 10-15 days. Sports activities can be undertaken after 6 weeks.
