WHAT IS IT?
Breast augmentation — also known as augmentation mammoplasty — is surgery to
increase breast size. It involves placing breast implants under breast tissue or chest
muscles.
WHY IT IS DONE ?
Breast augmentation is done to:
ï‚· Enlarge breasts that are naturally small
ï‚· Restore breast size and shape after pregnancy, weight loss or
breastfeeding
WHAT TO EXPECT ?
Before surgery, the surgeon should help the patient choose the size of the
implant needed.
A general anesthetic is normally used, so that the patient is asleep during
surgery. Sometimes local anesthetic is used, and the patient is awake.
WHAT IS THE PROCEDURE ?
The surgeon and patient should discuss incision options. Following this ,
the breast implant is inserted into a pocket. A submuscular or subglandular
placement is made. Further, stitches, skin adhesives, and surgical tape
close the skin and keep it closed.
At first, the incision lines will be visible, but these will fade with time.
RECOVERY
Surgery will leave some swelling, but this should resolve within two weeks.
The patient will be given painkillers to relieve the pain. Absorbable, or
dissolvable, sutures usually disappear within 6 weeks. It is advisable to
wear breast support after surgery for few weeks.
