Breast augmentation

You may be a good candidate for breast augmentation if you:

• Want fuller, rounder, or more proportionate breasts
• Have lost volume after pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss
• Notice asymmetry between your breasts
• Desire more upper pole fullness or a shapelier contour
• Are unhappy with naturally small or deflated breasts
• Maintain a healthy and stable weight and are in good general health
• Do not smoke or can stop a month before and after surgery
• Have realistic expectations about your results

Breast augmentation can be performed alone or combined with a breast lift if you also have sagging or stretched skin.

Techniques Tailored to Your Goals

You and your surgeon will discuss the best approach based on your anatomy, lifestyle, and preferred aesthetic.

1. Breast Implants
   Available in different shapes, sizes, and profiles to provide predictable, customizable volume.

   Implants can be placed:
   • Over the muscle (subglandular/subfascial placement) – for more definition
   • Under the muscle (dual-plane placement) – for a softer, more natural appearance

2. Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
   Uses your own purified fat, taken from areas such as the abdomen, waist, or thighs.

Benefits include:

• Completely natural material
• Subtle, soft enhancement (up to one cup size)
• Additional body contouring from liposuction

Ideal for women seeking a modest size increase.

1. Anesthesia
   Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia for comfort and safety.
2. Incision Placement
   Your surgeon makes a small incision, typically in one of the following discreet locations:
   • Inframammary crease (under the breast)
   • Periareolar border (around the nipple)

   The chosen location ensures minimal visibility once healed.

3. Implant Placement or Fat Transfer
   • For implants: a pocket is created under or over the muscle, and the implant is positioned with precision.
   • For fat transfer: fat is harvested via liposuction, purified, and injected into the breasts to create smooth, even enhancement.
4. Closing & Dressing
   Incisions are closed with dissolvable sutures, and compression bra along with implant supporting band is applied.

Early Recovery

• Mild swelling, tightness, and soreness are normal
• Pain is manageable with medications
• Most patients return to light activity within a few days
• You’ll wear implant supporting band for at least 2 weeks (or longer if suggested by your surgeon) and compression bra for 8 weeks after the surgery to aid healing and implant positioning.

Activity Guidelines

• Avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for 8 weeks
• Sleep on your back during early healing (4 weeks).
• Follow-up visits will monitor healing and implant positioning

Final Results

• Initial improvement is visible immediately
• Breasts soften and settle into position over the next 6 months
• Results are long-lasting, especially with stable weight and healthy habits
