Everything You Need To Know About Breast Augmentation

Beauty is subjective and has a different definition according to everyone!
However, there is nothing wrong with yearning for a particular kind of body goal. For example, some want an ideal hip; some people crave well-shaped buttocks, some may want well-toned thighs, and so on.
Similarly, many women these days desire perfect breasts. They want to size it up according to their body proportion by either reducing or enhancing their breast size. Breast augmentation is one such procedure that helps women achieve larger and firmer breasts.
What is breast augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a surgical technique that involves inserting implants into pre-existing breasts. It adds fullness, size, and attractiveness to the breasts. This technique is also useful for restoring your breast volume after weight loss or pregnancy. It makes the breasts appear more rounded and symmetrical.
Fat transfer via liposuction is sometimes carried out for routine breast enlargement.

What are the techniques used for breast augmentation?
There are mainly two popular techniques for breast augmentation:
Breast augmentation with implants
Breast augmentation with implants is performed as an outpatient surgery and takes about 1.5 hours. In this procedure silicone gel-filled implants or saline-filled implants are inserted in the breasts through an incision. Breast implants have high success rates and thus are quite popular for developing curved breasts.
Regular doctor appointments and MRI checkups should be taken to track the implants’ condition.
Breast augmentation with fat transfer
In this procedure, liposuction is used to extract spare fat from other places of the body like hips, thighs, tummy, or butt. This fat is then injected into your breasts. This technique allows many women to achieve round, well-shaped, and fuller breasts.
What is the procedure for breast augmentation surgery?
Our surgeon begins with an incision in the armpit to avoid major scarring on the breast. The implant will then be placed in a pocket beneath or above the pectoralis muscle. The manner of insertion and placement is determined by the type of implant used, the desired level of augmentation, and your body type.
After inserting the implant, the incision is sewed up and closed using skin adhesive and surgical tape. The incision mark fades with time, and its location beneath the arm keeps it quite unnoticed.
What should you expect post-breast augmentation surgery?
