Breast augmentation

Cosmetic breast surgery, when done to achieve a beautiful and proportional size and shape, can enhance the charm and confidence of women. However, to ensure successful results from breast augmentation surgery, it is essential to be well-informed about the various aspects of the procedure. Here are some key considerations:

Implant Shapes:

Round Implants:

• Smooth and textured surfaces are available.
• Popular for creating aesthetically pleasing and full upper breast contours.
• Cohesive Gel inside is more liquid, facilitating easier surgery.

Teardrop Implants:

• Resemble a drop of water, with a smooth upper surface and a tapered lower part.
• Mimics the natural appearance of breasts when sitting or standing.
• Suitable for those wanting a natural look with less upper fullness.

Ergonomix (Round-Teardrop Hybrid):

• Combines advantages of both round and teardrop shapes.
• Adapts to body movements, appearing teardrop-shaped when lying down and round when sitting.
• Gel texture is relatively dense, maintaining its form like traditional round implants.

Surface Textures:

Smooth Surface:

• Provides a soft, clear, and natural feel.
• Suitable for those desiring larger breast sizes.
• May have a slightly higher risk of malposition or firmness.

Textured Surface:

• Appears slightly opaque with fine texture.
• Aids in minimizing post-surgery repositioning.
• Reduces the risk of implant displacement.

Nano Surface (Composite of Smooth and Textured):

• Blends the advantages of smooth and textured surfaces.
• Enhances natural-looking results and reduces the risk of malposition.

Surgical Techniques:

Above Muscle Placement:

• Suitable for individuals with ample breast tissue and fat.
• Implants rest on the muscle surface, minimizing interference with breast movement.

Below Muscle Placement:

• Ideal for those with lax breast tissue.
• Enhances breast shape and provides a natural appearance.

Partial Submuscular Placement:

• Combines above and below muscle placement for a balanced outcome.
• Mimics natural breast appearance without muscle coverage.

Pre-surgery Preparation:

• Physical examination, blood tests, chest X-ray, and heart electrical activity check.
• Fasting for at least 6 hours before surgery.
• Discontinuation of certain medications and substances, such as blood thinners, vitamins, or herbal supplements.
• Ceasing smoking and alcohol consumption for at least 4 weeks before surgery.

Surgical Procedure:

• Administration of pre-surgery anesthesia.
• Incisions made according to the pre-planned approach.
• Placement of implants and closure of incisions.
• Surgery duration typically ranges from 40 minutes to 1 hour.

Recovery:

• Initial recovery period of 1-2 days.
• Follow-up appointment 7 days post-surgery.
• Return to normal activities within 3 days.
• Caution against direct pressure or impact on breasts.

Postoperative Care Guidelines:

• Proper care following breast augmentation surgery is vital for a smooth recovery. Here are the recommended postoperative care instructions:

Avoid Lifting Heavy Objects:

• Refrain from lifting objects weighing more than 10 kilograms for a period of 3-4 weeks.

Restrict Heavy Activities:

• Avoid engaging in strenuous activities or exerting excessive force for at least 1 month.

Use Recommended Support Bra:

• Wear the support bra provided by the hospital during the initial month after the surgery.
