Defining Breast Augmentation Surgery- Breast Augmentation Surgery also referred to as Augmentation Mammoplasty, breast enhancement or breast enlargement is a form of plastic surgery involving implantation of silicone or saline pads, behind breast tissue or below chest muscles in an attempt to add shape, size or fullness to breasts.
The process- From initial consultation to post-surgery recovery can take anything from six to eight weeks and will require absolute trust, co-operation and open communication between patient and surgeon. Before actual placement, a few very important decisions will have to be made by the patient including implant size, exact placement location and incision location. The surgeon will also give specific instructions to the patient which needs to be followed to a t. Actual implantation will take one to two hours depending on surgeon speed, placement and incision location.
What to expect after surgery- The patient is sure to be drowsy and sore for about two to three days after surgery and will be required to avoid movement in its entirety during the initial 48 hours after surgery. Its absolute imperative to follow the surgeon’s instructions strictly in terms of post-operative care to ensure speedy healing and overall procedural success.
Recovery duration- The duration of recovery will depend solely upon patients degree of enlargement, health and other internal as well as external factors. Every candidate should keep in mind that end results will vary from person to person and you should definitely not expect your breasts to look those of a model on a photograph or maybe a friend or relative.
Complications- As with any type of surgery, risk of complications and plain failure is a very real possibility and should be acknowledged by every Breast Augmentation Surgery candidate. Procedural complications include but are definitely not limited to anesthesia complications, post-operative haematoma, fluid collection, infection, sever pain or sensitivity, scarring, wrinkling, tissue thinning, asymmetry and symmastia.
