Breast enlargement (or augmentation) is generally performed on women with underdeveloped breasts or on women who have experienced a decrease in breast size or shape due to pregnancy or weight loss and desire a fuller breast appearance. Breast augmentation is quite successful at making the breasts larger and makes them appear fuller. Although the results are never perfect, they are often quite good and the breasts usually look natural.
How is the Implant Size determined? Although several implants are available at the present time, cohesive silicone gel implants are more commonly used in our country. Your surgeon will discuss the choice of implant, reasons for the selection, and will review with you the size changes that are possible with the operation. To more or less determine the appropriate implant size range for a particular patient, the surgeon takes into account several considerations. He talks to the patient to determine the patient’s preferences regarding possible outcome of her breasts. The surgeon will also take note of the patient’s height, weight, built, shoulder width, and whether patient is short or long waisted. This will be followed by making several measurements on the patient’s breast and chest wall area including note of skin laxity. These will serve as guides for determining the possible range of implant sizes that can be recommended for a particular patient. Sizers may also be used during the procedure.
How is Breast Enlargement Done? The surgery consists of making an incision, either under the breast(inframammary), at the armpit area(axillary) or periareolar. This will be followed by lifting the breast tissue or muscle(submuscular), creating a pocket in the chest/breast area, and placing an envelope containing a soft, natural feeling implant material underneath.
How long does the procedure take? The surgical time for a breast augmentation is dependent upon many factors including the surgical approach used, location of the breast implants, the patient's anatomy, and type of anesthetic used. Generally, the procedure requires a range of 1-3 hours.
Do I have to stay in the hospital? Most breast augmentation surgery is performed as a "same day surgery" where the patient returns home the same day without staying in the hospital
