Breast augmentation mammoplasty is a procedure that involves the placement of implants to alter the size and shape of the breasts. Implants are commonly placed in a dual-plane pocket, depending on the patient’s anatomy and desired outcome. This procedure may be considered by individuals seeking to address changes in breast size or volume over time or patients seeking to increase their breast size and volume.

Each breast augmentation surgery is planned based on the patient’s unique anatomy and circumstances. During your consultation, you will be informed of the potential risks, benefits, and expected outcomes, ensuring you can make an informed decision about your care.s

Considerations for Breast Augmentation Mammoplasty

Breast augmentation surgery may be considered by individuals who are in good general health, are non-smokers, who want to address the size or shape of their breasts. Common reasons for considering this procedure include addressing changes in breast volume due to pregnancy, weight loss, or personal preference. Additionally, individuals who have had previous breast augmentation surgery and wish to address concerns with their results or replace older implants may also explore this option.

During your consultation, a personalised surgical plan will be developed based on factors such as your health, lifestyle, body shape, and personal goals. It is important to have realistic expectations about the outcomes of the procedure, which will be discussed in detail during your appointment.

If you are unsure about your suitability for breast augmentation, a consultation with your surgeon will allow for a thorough assessment and discussion of your options, including alternative treatments if appropriate. Your suitability will depend on an evaluation of your individual circumstances and goals.

Procedure Types

The specifics of breast augmentation surgery vary based on individual preferences, anatomy, and surgical goals. The procedure is performed under general anesthesia and typically takes one to two hours to complete, depending on the techniques used.

Augmentation with Breast Implants

Breast implants are a commonly chosen option for breast augmentation. During the procedure, your surgeon creates an incision, often in the inframammary fold (under the breast), and forms a pocket for the implant placement. Implants may vary in size, shape, and texture, and your surgeon will discuss these options with you during your consultation to ensure your preferences and goals are considered.

Types of Breast Implants:

• Shape: Round implants may provide more upper-breast fullness, while teardrop implants aim to create a tapered contour.
• Texture: Smooth implants are soft, while textured implants may reduce the risk of implant displacement.

Material: Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater, while silicone implants contain a gel designed to mimic the feel of natural breast tissue.

Implant sizes are measured in cubic centimeters (CCs) and typically range from 80 CCs to 800 CCs. Your surgeon will guide you in choosing an appropriate size to align with your goals.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

Fat transfer involves harvesting fat from other areas of the body, such as the abdomen or thighs, purifying it, and injecting it into the breasts to achieve subtle changes in breast volume or shape. This approach may be suited to individuals seeking a more natural result or a modest enhancement. Fat transfer can also complement implant-based augmentation.

Breast Augmentation Revision

Patients who have had previous breast augmentation surgery may consider revision to address changes over time or complications with existing implants. Implant replacement may involve removing and replacing older implants with newer options or adjusting the results to better align with the patient’s current preferences.
