Breast Augmentation
Well proportioned and shapely breasts are an asset to any woman. Small breasts can be enlarged by plastic surgery called breast augmentation surgery. This is done by using breast implants. Breast augmentation is the second most common cosmetic surgery performed on women. Breast enhancement using breast implants can give a woman more proportional shape and may improve self esteem.
You can have breast augmentation done if you want to
• Increase the size of small or underdeveloped breasts.
• Reshape and enlarge breasts that have lost their shape and fullness after child-bearing or aging.
• Create symmetry between breasts of differing shapes and size.
» Breast Implant
Breast implants are high quality medical devises made with silicone which is a bio-compatible material that is used for many years in medicine. It is also used in artificial joint replacements, cardiac pacemakers, and syringes, in addition to hundreds of products that we come into contact with every day, including food, plastic products, clothing and even the furniture we sit on. Silicone is the best material because it is the least reactive, soft and durable. Long years of research and usage has proved them to be safe.
There is no evidence that breast augmentation bears any relationship to breast Cancer.
All breast implants are not alike. You can choose
• Size: from less than hundred cubic centimeter to more than 500 cc. most common sizes are 250-400 cc
• Type: Silicon filled/ saline filled- Both the implants are safe and effective. Saline implants are popular in USA and silicone in Europe and India. Any type can be used depending on patient and surgeon’s preference.
• Shape: Round/ teardrop: Round is used more commonly.
• Surface: Textured/smooth.
• Brand: Many international brands are available with different costs and warranties.

| » How is it Done | : | The implant is surgically placed in a pocket located inside the breast, either behind the breast tissue or behind the breast muscle (pectoral muscle). There are several ways in which an implant can be inserted. The most common method is through an incision just under the breast in the crease where the breast meets the chest wall. This is called an inframammary incision. The incision scar is well hidden in the skin fold or bra line. The implant may also be inserted through the nipple and areola (peri-areolar incision), or through an incision in the armpit. |
