What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation is a procedure to increase the size of your breasts. It is also known as Boob Job or Breast enlargement surgery in Mumbai. The enlargement is typically done with silicone breast implants.
Breast enlargement can also be done using your own fat taken from another body part. This procedure is called Breast Augmentation with Fat Grafting.
Breast augmentation also helps in restoring breast volume lost after pregnancy, improving the shape of the breasts and correction of sagging breasts to some extent.
Who is the right candidate for Breast Augmentation?
You are a good candidate for Augmentation Mammoplasty if:
- You are concerned about the size or shape of your breasts
- Your concern is that your breasts are small and you would feel better if they were larger or shaped better
- You feel that the upper portion of your breasts should have been fuller
- Your breasts have an unsatisfactory, tubular shape
- Both your breasts are of different sizes
- Your breasts have lost shape or firmness and are sagging after your pregnancy or weight loss
- You have realistic expectations regarding the results and are undergoing the procedure for your own satisfaction
- You are otherwise healthy with no major medical or surgical illnesses
What are the benefits of Breast Augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation will increase the size of your breasts immediately after the procedure. They will appear larger and more rounded. The shape of your breasts will improve and the upper portion will become fuller.
The breasts will be firmer and somewhat more lifted. Asymmetry on the two sides and unappealing, tubular shape can be corrected. It enhances your self-image and improves your self-confidence.
What Breast Augmentation can’t do?
Breast Augmentation cannot correct breasts that are sagging a lot. You will need a Breast Lift surgery to make sagging breasts look firmer and lifted. You can have a Breast lift surgery along with your Augmentation Mammoplasty, or plan it separately. We can make this decision during your consultation.
What are the available Breast Implants in India?
Breast Implants of the highest quality, from reputed manufacturers worldwide, are now freely available in India. There is a wide variety of breast implants in Mumbai today.
Silicone Implants
These are filled with silicone gel and do not leak or collapse even if the implant ruptures. The new generations of implants feel more like natural breast tissue and are sometimes called ‘Gummy bear Implants’.
You can choose an implant that is smooth or textured, round or anatomical. There are a number of options to choose from depending upon what breast shape you wish to achieve.
Saline Implants
These are filled with sterile saline water and may be used for certain specific patients. They are rarely used now because they weigh more and feel less natural. Problems like ‘rippling’, scar contracture and rupture are also more likely to happen.
Though Breasts implants are generally safe and of good quality, there is no ‘perfect breast implant’. What looks good on one person may not necessarily suit another.
We will discuss these options in your personalized consultation. I usually help my patients make the right choice depending upon their body type and expected results.
What to expect during your consultation?
Discussion
In your first consultation for breast augmentation in Mumbai, we will speak with you about your breast shape. The problem areas, and what you want to achieve. We will discuss the various implant types and positions. Then we talk in detail about your past medical and surgical history and make sure that the procedure can be performed safely.
There will be a detailed discussion about how I plan to do your aesthetic surgery. And I will also make a customized plan in order to give you the best results
Examination
During examination we study your current breast size and shape. I will also make a note of your general body shape and take measurements. Your body type and my clinical experience, will help us decide which implant size, shape and position will give you the most desirable result.
Photography and Planning
Here we take pictures of the surgical area for documentation and comparison. We will then discuss about the preparation, cost, steps of procedure, follow up care, recovery and results.
How much increase in breast size can I get?
Your breasts can usually be enlarged to the size and shape of your choice. I will help you choose the right implant size as guided by your frame and physique. Patients choose to have large implants or a more modest increase in size as per their preference.
Depending upon your present size and shape, there may be some limitation to how much enlargement can be safely achieved in one surgery.
How to prepare for Breast Augmentation surgery?
After you decide a date for your breast augmentation surgery in Mumbai, you will be advised some basic blood tests. I will review your current medications, vitamins and herbal supplements, alcohol, tobacco and drug use. You may need to stop certain medications and stop smoking for a while. Measurements will be taken and an implant type and size will be finalized.
What are the steps involved in Breast Augmentation with Implants?
Breast augmentation with implants is usually most comfortable under general anesthesia. A small incision is taken in the fold under the breasts. This infra mammary incision is 5 to 6 cm in length and remains hidden.
I usually prefer a peri-areolar or axillary incision as that would give you a better result. A pocket is created under the breast tissue or under the muscle and the implant is placed there. The incision is closed carefully with absorbable sutures and a supportive dressing is done.
What to expect immediately after Breast Augmentation?
You will be comfortable enough to walk around immediately after the procedure. You may go home the same day and resume normal daily activities. Your breasts will be strapped in a firm dressing.
I will be advising you to wear a firm supportive bra for a few weeks post-operatively. Basic antibiotics and analgesics will continue for 3 to 5 days.
You can decide to have your breast enhancement surgery as a day care procedure. But an overnight stay at the hospital is more comfortable.
How soon will I return to normal daily activity after Breast Augmentation?
Normal daily activities resume immediately. You may experience mild discomfort or soreness and may wish to take it easy for a few days. This is noticeable mostly on movement and is easily controlled with oral medication.
After your breast augmentation in Mumbai, we will stop all medications in a week. You should avoid vigorous activity for two weeks and aerobic upper body exercise for four weeks to allow comfortable healing.
When will I see results after my Breast Augmentation?
You will appreciate the difference in the size of your breasts immediately. You will be advised to wear a firm supportive bra continuously for about 4 weeks. This helps in fixing the implant in its proper position.
Immediately after the operation, your breasts will appear a bit high on your chest. Once the swelling has reduced, the breasts will settle to a more natural and appealing location and shape.
Which other surgeries can be combined with Breast Augmentation?
Breast enlargement may be combined with a Breast Lift or a Mastopexy to make your breasts more shapely. Other procedures like a Liposuction or a Tummy tuck may be done at the same time.
Some patients also prefer body contouring along with their breast enhancement surgery.
What are the risks associated with Breast Augmentation surgery?
Some adverse effects associated with the surgery include bleeding, infection, faulty placement or fluid accumulation (seroma). These are uncommon in experienced hands.
Some long-term risks in a small number of patients include implant rupture or leakage, capsular contracture and aesthetic irregularities.
Extensive scientific researches by independent groups have found no link between breast implants and autoimmune or other systemic diseases or cancerous breast lumps.
Will there be scars after Breast Implant Surgery?
Scars fade quickly and usually become inconspicuous with time. They are hidden in the fold under the breast and not easily seen. Many factors influence the appearance of scars including your own genetics.
Do the breasts feel natural after breast enhancement with implants?
The feel of the breasts is completely natural, especially with the newer generation of implants. No one needs to know that you have implants unless you tell them yourself.
How long will the my breast implant surgery results last?
Breast implants don’t need to be changed routinely, but they are not guaranteed to last a lifetime. Age, pregnancy and weight loss affect the shape of your breasts and how they appear with time. I advise my patients to visit for periodic examination of their implants.
How to choose the best Plastic Surgeon for Breast Augmentation?
It is important that you choose the best plastic surgeon for Breast Augmentation. Be sure that your plastic surgeon is fully qualified and board certified. Your plastic surgeon should have additional fellowship training, specifically in cosmetic surgery.
He should be well experienced with many cases of breast implant surgery in Mumbai to ensure perfection. He should be confident to manage minor problems if they arise.
It is also important that your plastic surgeon is easy to talk to, answers your questions diligently and treats you with care and concern. Having a good rapport with your plastic surgeon is essential. He should be available for follow up care and support.
What about Breast Augmentation cost in Mumbai?
The cost of Breast augmentation surgery in Mumbai is quite affordable. The quality and cost of the implant needs to be factored in. Different doctors will also charge you differently according to their own qualification and experience.
Remember that the plastic surgeon’s expertise and experience, along with your comfort with him, is more important than the total cost of the procedure. I will discuss these options and formulate a plan suitable for you during your consultation.
Which is the best hospital for Breast Augmentation in Mumbai?
Always choose a reputable hospital which is fully accredited. This way, you can be assured of the highest standards of hygiene, safety and medical care. A well equipped hospital will have a skilled team of anesthetists and nurses to look after you during and after surgery.
For this reason, I prefer to operate at Lilavati Hospital and Research Center in Bandra west, Mumbai, India. Lilavati hospital is ranked among the top hospitals in the country. It is run by a private charitable trust, which gives you the quality and comfort of a corporate hospital at very affordable pricing.
Words of Wisdom!
As with any plastic surgery, breast augmentation does not offer any guaranteed outcome. But most patients who undergo breast enhancement are extremely satisfied with their results. Only a small percentage of patients need revision or removal of their implants.
Even though Breast enhancement surgery may seem like a relatively simple operation, delivering perfect results involves a long and meticulous process by your plastic surgeon.
Patient Review – Breast Augmentation and Abdominoplasty
I consulted Dr. Siddharth Prakash for liposuction, abdominoplasty and breast augmentation. This was the first time I considered going under the knife that naturally made me nervous and so, I had many questions which were answered by the doctor to my satisfaction. His professional and patient demeanor instilled the trust and I could confidently choose him as my surgeon. The outcome of the surgery is phenomenal and aesthetically beautiful. The abdominoplasty is a procedure where in lose skin around the tummy is excised, the skin is tightened and a new navel is carved. The section of my tummy looks taut and shapely. What’s amazing is that my new navel doesn’t look new, it looks very natural, like it was my own. My breasts also look natural without a sign of any nip-tuck. I am still recovering and extremely happy with my decision of going ahead with the surgery. Doctor Siddharth Prakash is a true artist, in the hands of whom my appearance has completely morphed into something beautiful. Without a second thought, I would recommend him to everyone who wishes to go for a cosmetic procedure. I am immensely grateful to him for changing my life forever.
