Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a cosmetic surgery procedure designed to enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. This is achieved using breast implants or fat transfer to create a fuller, more proportional appearance.

Benefits of Breast Augmentation
Increased Breast Volume: Ideal for women with naturally small breasts or those who have lost volume due to weight loss or pregnancy.
Improved Symmetry: Corrects uneven breasts for a more balanced look.
Restored Shape: Helps restore breast shape after pregnancy, aging, or weight fluctuations.
Enhanced Self-Confidence: Many patients report feeling more confident and comfortable in their bodies.
Types of Breast Augmentation
Breast Implants
- Silicone Implants: Provide a natural feel and are pre-filled with silicone gel.
- Saline Implants: Filled with sterile saltwater; slightly firmer than silicone.
- Gummy Bear Implants: Cohesive silicone implants that maintain shape even if ruptured.
Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation
- Uses the patient’s own fat (harvested from areas like the abdomen or thighs) to enhance the breasts.
- Provides a more natural look but may not achieve the same volume as implants.
Procedure Overview
- Anesthesia: General anesthesia is typically used.
- Incisions: Made under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit.
- Placement: Implants are positioned above or below the chest muscle based on the patient’s anatomy and desired outcome.
- Closure: Incisions are sutured, and a compression garment is applied.
- Duration: The surgery typically lasts 1-2 hours.
Recovery & Aftercare
- Swelling and bruising are common for the first few weeks.
- Avoid heavy lifting or strenuous activities for at least 4-6 weeks.
- Full recovery and final results are seen within 3-6 months.
- Regular check-ups ensure implants remain in good condition.
Risks & Considerations
- Temporary discomfort, swelling, or numbness.
- Capsular contracture (scar tissue hardening around the implant).
- Implant rupture or leakage (rare but possible).
- Need for future implant replacement (typically after 10-15 years).
Conclusion
Breast augmentation is a safe and effective way to enhance the size and shape of the breasts, improving body proportion and confidence. Choosing an experienced plastic surgeon ensures natural-looking results tailored to the patient’s goals.
