Breast Augmentation

Breast Augmentation

If you wish to reform, increase or improve the size of your breasts and also restore a perfectly balanced figure, then breast augmentation surgery by Dr Aakash Sarangal is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to meet your needs. This surgery is done by using implants or by transferring fat from one’s own body to the treated area. In the first case, the procedure involves placing breast implants under the breast tissue or chest muscles. Most women opt for this procedure to feel confident and achieve a more proportionate body figure. Once you opt for the surgery, our surgeon will prepare you for the procedure by discussing your preferences like size, the appearance of the breast etc. and existing issues in detail. They also discuss with you the options available after a thorough examination and understanding your medical history, if any.

The Procedure

- The surgeon will make an incision and create a pocket underneath the breast tissue to make space for the implant. - The implants are placed and the incision is closed using absorbable sutures (in most cases).
There are different types of incisions that are made to successfully place the implants like :
1. Inframammary: Incision made in the breast crease underneath the breast
2. Transaxillary: Incision made near the armpit
3. Periareolar: Incision made around the black area covering the nipple
4. Transumbilical: Incision made in the belly button/navel (only for Saline implants)

Types of Breast Implants

Depending on your medical history, body, and expectation from breast implant surgery, you can choose from the following different kinds of implants:
1. Silicone Breast Implants – Pre-filled with soft silicone gel, silicone breast implants are the most commonly used breast implants around the world.
2. “Gummy Bear” Silicone Implants – Pre-filled with cohesive gel, these implants are more stable and firmer than soft silicone implants. They may require a longer incision as compared to saline implants. These are also known as ‘teardrop implants’ because of its shape.
3. Saline Breast Implants – These are sterile salt water filled implants. They may be inflated after the implant is placed. Thus the incision made is smaller as compared to other implants.
However, the USFDA has approved the usage of silicone implants for breast enhancement surgeries. But, it is important for women to know that although these implants are long-lasting, they need to get replaced after some time.
