Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast Augmentation Surgery in Chirag Enclave, Delhi

Breast augmentation, also referred to as augmentation mammoplasty or a ‘boob job’, is a cosmetic procedure done to increase the size or enlarge your breasts. It can also be an essential procedure in certain cases, where the breasts need to be rebuilt due to some condition. 

The surgery involves placing saline or silicone implants behind the breast tissue or the muscles in the chest. It can also be performed by transferring the fat from one area of the body to the breasts, but surgically placing implants is a more common way. The surgery can increase your breast size by a cup or more. For further information, you should look for breast augmentation surgery near you.

What happens in breast augmentation surgery?

Before the surgery begins, you will be administered anesthesia. This will numb the area of the surgery or put you to sleep. The surgeon can do three different types of incisions to put implants in your breasts. The three incisions are:

• Inframammary: below your breast
• Axillary: in the underarm 
• Periareolar:  in the areola or the tissue surrounding your nipple

While choosing the implants, you can select any implant, whether it is silicone or saline. You can choose a round breast or contoured breast shape, depending on what you desire and your existing breast shape.

After the incisions are made, the surgeon will slowly separate the tissue of your breast from your chest muscles to make a pocket. Your implants will then be placed in these pockets. If the implants are saline, the shells will be filled with saline solution, but if they are silicone then they will already be filled. The implants will be centred, and once that is done, the incisions made will be stitched back together. You will be monitored for a while and then allowed to go back home.

Who qualifies for the procedure?
