What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a widely practiced cosmetic procedure that enhances the physical appearance of breasts by increasing their size. With over 125 years of history, breast augmentation techniques have significantly evolved and now offer more options than ever before to achieve your desired results. Depending on individual needs, various implant types are available in different shapes and sizes that can be placed above or below muscles depending on anatomical considerations. Consulting with a surgeon will allow you to determine which option is best suited for you personally.
Usually, this process is carried out while the patient is unconscious. It may take approximately one to two hours to completion. Upon initial assessment of your desired appearance and beauty objectives, you will obtain a clearer understanding of the duration of your surgery.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Does This Procedure Work?

Breast enlargement can be achieved by implanting artificial materials or transferring surplus fat from your body to augment the size of your breasts. The methodology employed for this process is tailored individually according to a woman’s preferences and requirements. Nevertheless, irrespective of where incisions are made, inserts must be put in via these cuts. Once implants have been positioned over or beneath muscles, suturing shall follow suit for wound closure.

If you want to enhance your breasts with grafted fat, a minor cut will be created in the area where the fat is collected. A small tube called a cannula and a suction device will be inserted through this incision to extract fat cells. After that, the gathered cells are refined and finally administered into selective areas of one or both breasts.

How Long Does Recovery Take?

Similar to other aesthetic treatments, breast enhancement requires a recuperation span of around one or two weeks. The duration of your leave from work hinges on multiple factors such as the nature of your occupation, the scope of procedures you have chosen for and your physical well-being prior to getting augmented breasts. To expedite healing, it is advisable to wear compression bras persistently except when showering.
