What Is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that involves enhancing the size, shape, and overall appearance of the breasts. There are a variety of reasons why women choose to undergo breast augmentation, including:

• Restoring Volume: Pregnancy, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, and aging can cause a reduction in breast volume, which may lead to a loss of fullness or sagging. Breast augmentation can restore a youthful, full appearance to the breasts.

• Enhancing Size and Shape: Some women may feel that their breasts are too small or asymmetrical, and breast augmentation provides a solution by increasing breast size and creating a more balanced, proportional look.

• Reconstruction After Surgery: In cases where breast tissue has been removed due to breast cancer or other medical conditions, breast augmentation may be part of reconstructive surgery to restore the natural contour of the breast.

At Human Plastic Surgery, we understand that the decision to undergo breast augmentation is deeply personal, and our goal is to help you achieve the aesthetic results you desire.

Types of Breast Implants We Offer

One of the most important aspects of breast augmentation is choosing the right implant for your body and desired outcome. At Human Plastic Surgery, we offer several types of implants, each designed to meet different needs and preferences:

Saline Implants

Saline implants are filled with a sterile saltwater solution. They are inserted empty and then filled once they are in place, which allows for easy adjustment of size during surgery. If a saline implant ruptures, the body will naturally absorb the saline solution, and the implant will deflate, making it easy to detect and replace.

• Pros: Adjustable size, minimal risk of leakage, safe if ruptured.

• Cons: May feel less natural compared to silicone implants, especially for women with less breast tissue.

Silicone Implants

Silicone implants are filled with a silicone gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. Many women prefer silicone implants for their natural feel and appearance. If a silicone implant ruptures, the gel may remain inside the implant shell or leak into the surrounding tissue, but it is not harmful.

• Pros: More natural feel, less noticeable rippling, popular choice for a fuller, more realistic look.

• Cons: Requires monitoring with regular imaging (like MRIs) to check for rupture, as ruptures are harder to detect.

Gummy Bear Implants

Gummy bear implants are a type of silicone implant filled with a thicker, more cohesive gel that holds its shape even in the event of rupture. These implants are designed to retain their form and structure, making them ideal for patients looking for a firmer, more defined appearance.

• Pros: More cohesive gel that maintains shape, lower risk of rupture or leakage, natural appearance.

• Cons: Requires a larger incision for placement due to their firmer gel structure.

Choosing the Right Implant for You

During your consultation, our surgeons will work closely with you to determine the right type of implant based on your desired results, body type, and any specific preferences you have. Our goal is to help you achieve natural, beautiful results that enhance your figure while maintaining your unique body proportions.

Implant Placement Options

The placement of your breast implants is another important decision that affects both the final aesthetic result and recovery time. At Human Plastic Surgery, we offer two main options for implant placement:

Subglandular (Above the Muscle)

With subglandular placement, the implant is placed behind the breast tissue but over the chest muscle. This method tends to result in a quicker recovery time and may be preferred by patients with more natural breast tissue.

• Pros: Faster recovery, less pain post-surgery, suitable for patients with adequate breast tissue.

• Cons: May be less ideal for those with very little natural breast tissue.

Submuscular (Under the Muscle)

In submuscular placement, the implant is placed beneath the chest muscle. This method can provide a more natural look, especially for women with less natural breast tissue. While recovery time may be longer, the final results can be more aesthetically pleasing.

• Pros: More natural appearance, especially for women with less breast tissue, lower risk of capsular contracture (a complication involving the formation of scar tissue around the implant).

• Cons: Longer recovery time, more pain post-surgery.

The Recovery Process

After undergoing breast augmentation surgery, recovery is an important aspect of ensuring your results are optimal. Most patients can return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks, but it’s important to follow all post-operative instructions carefully for a smooth recovery.

• Immediate Post-Surgery Care: Expect some swelling, bruising, and discomfort for the first few days. Pain medication will help manage any discomfort, and you’ll be asked to wear a supportive bra to reduce swelling and support the healing process.

• Resuming Activity: Most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks, but strenuous activities such as heavy lifting and exercise should be avoided for 4-6 weeks.

• Follow-up Visits: Regular follow-up visits are crucial to monitor your healing and ensure there are no complications. During these visits, our team will check on the progress of your recovery and make any adjustments if needed.
