Breast Augmentation with Implants
Breast augmentation surgery, also known as breast enlargement or augmentation mammoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that is performed to enhance the size and shape of a woman’s breasts. This is achieved by placing implants behind the breast tissue or under the chest muscles.
During the surgery, the surgeon will make an incision in the breast crease, around the areola, or in the armpit. The implants are then inserted through the incision and placed in the desired position. The incisions are then closed with sutures, and the patient is sent to recovery.
Breast augmentation surgery can be an excellent option for women who are unhappy with the size or shape of their breasts, or for those who have lost breast volume due to weight loss or pregnancy. It can also help to balance the breasts if they are asymmetrical.
There are several types of breast implants available, including saline, silicone, and cohesive gel implants. Your surgeon will help you choose the right type and size of implant to achieve the best results for your individual needs.
It is important to choose a skilled and experienced plastic surgeon to perform your breast augmentation surgery, as this can greatly impact the final results. Recovery time may vary depending on the individual, but most patients can return to work and normal activities within a few weeks.
