Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure aimed at increasing the size, shape, and fullness of the breasts. This procedure has a long history, evolving from rudimentary methods to the sophisticated techniques used today. Initially developed for reconstructive purposes, breast augmentation now serves a variety of cosmetic and medical needs.
Silicone Implants
Silicone implants are filled with a silicone gel that feels more like natural breast tissue. They are preferred for their natural appearance and are less likely to wrinkle.
Saline Implants
Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water. They are inserted empty and then filled once they are in place, allowing for a smaller incision. These implants are more prone to rippling but can be adjusted in size after surgery.
Fat Transfer
Fat transfer involves liposuction to remove fat from other parts of the body, which is then injected into the breasts. This method provides a natural look and feel but is less predictable in terms of volume.
Cosmetic Reasons
Many women choose breast augmentation to enhance their appearance, achieving fuller, more symmetrical breasts.
Reconstructive Reasons
Post-mastectomy patients often undergo breast augmentation as part of their reconstructive process.
Psychological Benefits
Improved self-esteem and confidence often accompany the physical changes, positively impacting mental health.
Selecting the appropriate implant involves considering several factors, such as:
Most patients can resume normal activities within a week, but full recovery can take several months.
Implants are designed to last many years, often exceeding 10-20 years with proper care.
Modern implants are considered safe, with rigorous testing and FDA approval.
