Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that involves the use of breast implants or fat transfer to increase the size, shape, and fullness of the breasts. The procedure can enhance the appearance of the breasts, address asymmetry or unevenness in breast size, and restore breast volume that may have been lost due to weight loss, aging, or pregnancy. It is typically performed under general anesthesia and involves a recovery time of a few days to a week.
Breast augmentation surgery improves the size and appearance of the breasts by inserting silicone implants under breast glands, thus producing a cosmetic enhancement. The entire procedure merely takes an hour and is carried out under general anesthesia.
The breast lift surgery removes excess skin in and around the breast. Breast implants may also be used in combination with this procedure to achieve the desired result. Carried out under general anesthesia, the procedure takes around 3-4 hours.
Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater solution, while silicone implants are filled with a cohesive silicone gel. Silicone implants tend to look and feel more natural, but may require a larger incision for insertion.
Breast augmentation is typically performed under general anesthesia, so you will not feel any pain during the surgery. However, you may experience some discomfort and soreness during the recovery period.
Suitability for breast augmentation depends on factors such as physical health, breast anatomy, and cosmetic goals. Generally, good candidates are women with fully developed breasts, realistic expectations, and not pregnant or breastfeeding. A consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon is necessary to evaluate suitability and discuss options for the procedure.
