Breast augmentation, also known as mammoplasty, is a popular surgical procedure aimed at enhancing the size and shape of the breasts. At Lux Hospitals, we understand that this procedure can significantly boost confidence and self-esteem, helping patients achieve their desired appearance.

What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation involves the use of implants or fat transfer to increase breast volume and improve contours. This procedure can address various concerns, including breast size, asymmetry, or volume loss due to aging, weight loss, or pregnancy. With effective techniques and advanced technology, breast augmentation is tailored to each individual’s needs.

Types of Breast Augmentation

There are two primary methods for breast augmentation, each with distinct advantages:

Breast Implants

  • Silicone Implants: Known for their natural feel and appearance, silicone implants are filled with silicone gel.
  • Saline Implants: Filled with sterile salt water, saline implants can be adjusted during surgery to achieve the desired size.

Fat Transfer

This technique involves harvesting fat from other areas of the body (such as the abdomen or thighs) and injecting it into the breasts. This method provides a more natural enhancement and eliminates the need for implants.

Benefits of Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation offers several advantages, including:
  • Enhanced breast size and shape
  • Improved body proportions and balance
  • Increased self-confidence and body image satisfaction
  • The ability to customize results based on personal goals

Who is an Ideal Candidate?

Ideal candidates for breast augmentation typically include:
  • Individuals who are physically healthy and at a stable weight
  • Those seeking enhancement for aesthetic reasons or reconstruction after surgery
  • People with realistic expectations about the outcomes

Preparing for Breast Augmentation

Before the procedure, patients will undergo a comprehensive consultation with our expert team, which includes:
  • Discussing goals and expectations
  • Evaluating medical history and conducting a physical examination
  • Choosing the appropriate implant type and size

TREATMENTS

Breast augmentation is typically performed under general anesthesia. The surgery involves:
  • Incision: Incisions are made in discreet locations to minimize scarring, usually in the fold under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit.
  • Placement: Implants are either placed under the muscle or over the muscle, depending on the desired outcome and body type.
  • Closure: The incisions are meticulously stitched up, and dressings are put in place.
  • Recovery and Aftercare

    Post-operative care is essential for ensuring a smooth recovery.
    • Follow-Up Appointments: Regular visits with your surgeon to monitor healing and address any concerns.
    • Pain Management: Medications will be provided to alleviate discomfort.
    • Activity Restrictions: Patients are advised to avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks to ensure proper healing.

    Potential Risks and Considerations

    Like any surgical procedure, breast augmentation comes with certain risks, which include:

    • Infection
    • Changes in nipple sensation
    • Implant rupture or leakage
    • Scarring

    It’s essential to discuss these risks with your surgeon to make an informed decision.
