Breast Augmentation in India Can Make You Smile Lifelong

What is breast augmentation?

It is a surgery which helps in increasing the size, shape or fullness of a woman’s breasts by placing silicone, saline or substitute compound breast implants under the breast tissue or chest muscles. Augmentation mammoplasty is another name for this surgical procedure.

Breast augmentation in India is also a popular surgical procedure but fewer people are aiming at it because of not being sure of the results.

The reasons for breast augmentation would be:

• The smaller breasts are enlarged.
• After pregnancy, breast feeding or immense weight loss in women tends to reduce the accurate size of the breasts. Augmentation is a rescue then.
• Asymmetrical breasts are corrected through this surgical process.
• In case of treatment for breast cancer or any other accidents in that area, whereby breast sizes can become improper, they can be corrected through this surgery.

Many women including health care providers have a preconceived notion that the cosmetic surgery would have a negative impact on their health without fully understanding the benefits of it. However, the need for getting the proper shape has made the surgery popular and women have received desirable results with utmost satisfaction. Those women have gained self esteem after the surgery and have updated to an improved quality of life.

Breast augmentation is the enlargement while breast implantation is implanting a composite under the breast tissue.

What are breast implants?

Another way to reconstruct or create the form of breasts is a medical prosthesis named breast implants.

The inner side of the implant is filled with salt water or silicone gel or a complex different substance, where as silicon is the outer layer of the breast implant. The duration of the implantation after the surgery would be at least 10 years. The greatest advantage of the implantation is it does not behave as an obstacle in breast feeding, since it is placed under the breast tissue.

The three processes of breast implantation:

Saline implants –

A sterile normal saline solution composing of concentrated common salt water (0.90% w/v) is put in an elastomeric silicon shell. The amount of saline solution varies depending on the different shape and firmness wanted by the patients.

This is a complete risk free procedure because if the solution by any chance leaks then it is automatically expelled by the body.

• The inframammary incision that is made in the crease under the breast

• The transaxillary incision is done in the armpit

• The periareolar incision is done around the nipple.

Silicone implants –

In this procedure the elastomeric silicon shell is filled with viscous saline gel.

By chance if any one of the silicon filled implants leaks then either the gel remains in the shell or moves out to the pocket of breast implantation. People opting for this type of surgery are asked to visit the doctor quite often than the patients opting the prior process. An MRI or ultrasound determines the condition of the implants.

The latest of the five generation of surgeries of this type is made of semi-solid gel that has completely eradicated silicone gel leakage and silicon relocation from the breast to the other parts of the body.

Alternative composite implants –

Polypropylenes string, soy oil or some other material are the contents of this procedure.

What happens during the procedure?

The incision:

The doctor should discuss with the patient about the three types of incisions:

• The inframammary incision that is made in the crease under the breast
• The transaxillary incision is done in the armpit
• The periareolar incision is done around the nipple.

The patient chooses according to her desire and it is done accordingly.

Inserting and placing the breast implant:

The breast implant is put into a pocket. A choice has been given in today’s surgery because of the advancements made:

• A submammary or the subglandular  placement –

It is placed behind the breast tissue and over the pectoral muscle.

• A submuscular placement-

It is placed under the pectoral muscle. This procedure incurs a bit more post operative pain by the patient and this also needs more time to recover from the surgery.

How the incisions are closed:

Skin adhesives, stitches and surgical tape are used to keep the skin closed after the surgeon closes the incision with layered stitches.

Immediately, after the surgery, lines will be eminent but gradually with the passage of time it will fade away.

Conclusion:

Hence, it is a life-changing surgery so it is important that the surgeon chosen is licensed and hails from a well recognized, capable, professional plastic surgery association of the country. Therefore, breast augmentation in India is not a risky take on your body if chosen carefully and wisely.
