Breast Augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure performed to increase the size and enhance the shape of a person's breasts. This is typically done by placing breast implants underneath the natural breast tissue or chest muscles. Breast augmentation is a common cosmetic surgery option for individuals who desire larger breasts, have undergone a mastectomy, or want to restore breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss.
Surgical Procedure
On the day of surgery, you'll be given anesthesia, typically general anesthesia or intravenous sedation, to ensure you're comfortable and pain-free during the procedure. The surgeon will make an incision, and the location of the incision can vary depending on your preference and the surgeon's recommendation. Common incision sites include under the breast, around the areola. The surgeon will create a pocket for the implant, either behind the breast tissue (subglandular), under the chest muscle (submuscular) or dual plane(half under the muscle and half under the breast tissue). The chosen implant is then carefully inserted into the pocket. After ensuring proper placement and symmetry, the incisions are closed with sutures or surgical adhesive.
