BeforeAfterWho Is A Good Candidate For Breast Augmentation?
If you are healthy, your breasts have completed their natural development, and you have realistic expectations from the procedure, then you are an ideal candidate for the breast augmentation! Maybe your breasts lost volume and shape after a pregnancy or a weight loss, or maybe they just changed with time; perhaps one or both of them did not develop properly, or perhaps you had a mastectomy; or it can be just that you don’t like how they look. If you are not happy with the size, volume or shape of your breasts or that you think they are too asymmetrical, then the breast augmentation is ideal for you. If you want to change the way they look, that is a good enough reason to consider breast augmentation. Remember: Your body, your call.
What are the Expected Outcomes of Breast Augmentation?
The outcomes of breast augmentation can be analyzed in two main categories: aesthetical and psychological. Via breast augmentation with implants, you can have larger, rounder, and fuller breasts. Any natural breast asymmetry can be addressed through breast augmentation, too. Breast augmentation enhances not only the appearance of breasts, but also the whole contour of the body. Breasts have a central importance to the female figure, and because of this, a talented and experienced surgeon carefully working on them to reshape will achieve a sculpted appearance not only to the breasts but to the whole body. Of course, there are important psychological benefits as well. A person who is not happy with their breasts can experience some psychological distress, which can lower their self-confidence and impact their social lives negatively. Having the breasts that fit both your body and your dreams can boost your self-confidence and enhance your self-image, which will make you happy in the end
“Shaping the breasts is shaping the body. My approach is to look for the hidden natural proportions of the body and then reveal them by working as careful as a sculptor.”
How Is a Breast Augmentation Done?
Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure performed to increase the sizes of the breasts. It is customized according to needs and wishes of the patient.
Anesthesia
Like every other surgery, breast augmentation surgery requires anesthesia, as well. Your surgeon will decide if general anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation is the more suitable one for your case.
Implants
The essence of breast augmentation with implants is increasing the size and reforming the shape of the breasts by surgically placing breast implants under either the breast tissue or chest muscles. There are two main types of breast implants; silicon gel implants and saline implants. The implants can also differ in shape and texture. Your surgeon will help you choose the best option for you.
Incision
Depending on the patient, the desired result, and the preference of the surgeon, there can be variations to the procedure. The first variable is the placement of the incision. The possible places for the incision are the inframammary fold (the natural fold under the breasts), the periareolar region (the periphery of the areolas), the armpits, and the belly button.
Placement
The second variable is where the implants will be placed. The regions the implants can be tucked in include the region between the mammary gland and the chest muscle, and the region beneath the chest muscle. Each approach has their own advantages and disadvantages; therefore, the decision should be made by an experienced plastic surgeon. Our contracted surgeons are highly skilled in each type of breast augmentation techniques. During the consultation, they can inform you about the approach that will suit you best.
Risks and Complications *1 *2 *3 *4
Breast augmentation with implants, has a long history and for that reason, the risks and complications are brought to a minimum with advancements both in implant materials and the surgical methods. Risks are further increased if combined with other operations. Implants can rupture, but also can last a lifetime. Usual lifespan is estimated to be 15-20 years for implants, and most surgeons advise an implant revision at the 10 or 15-year mark. Overall complication rate for breast augmentation is 1.46%.
