Breast Augmentation

• This procedure improves the size and/or shape of
  the breast. Augumentation is usually following
  loss of volume of breast from various reasons
  that include previous breast surgery, after child
  birth, to improve body contour and to achieve
  symmetry in asymmetrical breasts. It involves
  placing a silicone gel implant in pocket created
  under the breasts.
• The surgery is performed under general
  anaesthesia. Incision is placed under the breast
  just above the breast crease.

  just behind the breast tissue or under the muscle
  of the chest wall.

Types Of Implants

• Breast implants are made of silicone gel. They
  are available in different sizes and shapes.
  Commonly round or tear drop shaped implants are
  used.

Types Of Implants

• The appropriate implants will be recommended for
  you requirement. They are sized in portion to
  your build and chest size. You will have detailed
  discussion about the size of the implant that
  will suit your build. Implants are not for life
  and may need to be replaced after many years. The
  outer lining of the implant wears with time and
  become weaker and may leak, warranting
  replacement.

Side Effects

• Bleeding in the cavity created for the implant is
  rare, if present then may have to return to the
  operation theatre for removal. Very rarely
  implants may get infected. Antibiotics are
  prescribed in the initial stages and if it
  persists then the implant is removed and
  reinserted after few months once the infection is
  fully under control or completely eradicated. 
  The more common complication is breast become
  harder than normal.

Side Effects

• This is due to the body response to the silicone
  and form a scar tissue. When the scar shrinks it
  causes contracture of the capsule around the
  implant.
• You could have altered sensation of the breast or
  nipple ranging from loss of sensation to
  increased sensitivity. Tear drop implants can
  move or rotate altering the shape of the breast.
• Scar under the breast can remain red and lumpy
  may take many months to improve.
