Breast Augmentation
Definition: Breast augmentation, also known as breast augmentation or augmentation mammoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that aims to improve the size and shape of the breasts. This is achieved through the insertion of implants or fat transfer and results in a fuller and more proportional breast appearance.
Steps:
Consultation: The journey begins with a thorough consultation with an experienced plastic surgeon to discuss desired results, implant options and surgical techniques.
Anaesthesia: The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia to ensure a pain-free experience.
Incision: The surgeon makes incisions, usually in the crease under the breast, around the nipple or in the armpit to minimise visible scars.
Implant placement: Implants, filled with either saline or silicone, are carefully placed, either behind the breast tissue or under the pectoral muscle.
Closure of the incisions: Once the implants are in place, the incisions are closed with precise sutures.
Recovery: A recovery period is required after surgery, during which patients are encouraged to follow the surgeon's post-operative care instructions.
Advantages and benefits:
Increased self-confidence: Breast augmentation can increase self-esteem and body confidence.
Improved proportions: Achieve a more balanced and harmonious
