Breast Surgery

Breast augmentation plastic surgery is one of the most common procedures performed.

Women may choose to under go breast enlargement surgery for various reasons. It is an operation to increase the size of the breast. There personal reasons may centre around breast that are perceived to be under developed or because of differences in the sizes of the breasts or from changes after pregnancy or breast feeding.

Some women maybe happy with their breasts but just wan them made fuller. Often after weight loss, aging or childbirth a woman’s breast volume and shape may change. This too can lead to a woman to seek a breast augmentation.

Breast implant surgery performed by cosmetic plastic surgeons is the most popular way to improve breast shape and size. Breast enhancement using breast implants can give a woman more proportional shape and may improve self esteem.

Breast implants are usually made from silicone or saline-filled.

Preparation before Surgery

In some instances, we recommend a baseline mammogram before surgery and another mammography examination some months after surgery. This will help to detect any future changes in your breast tissue. Following breast augmentation, you will still be able to perform breast self-examination.

If you are a smoker, you will be asked to stop smoking well in advance of surgery. Aspirin and certain anti-inflammatory drugs can cause increased bleeding, so you should avoid taking these medications for a period of time before surgery.

What should I expect?

Before surgery, you will talk to surgeon about the operation and will be asked to sign a consent form. This confirms you understand the risks, benefits and possible alternatives to the procedure and have given the permission for it to ahead.

Your breast will be examined and you will usually have a photograph taken before the operation so that the results of surgery can be compared with your original appearance.

If you are having a general anesthetic, you will be asked to follow fasting instructions. You must not eat or drink for about 6 hours before a general anesthetic.

The Operation

Medications are administered for your comfort during the surgical procedure. Frequently, local anesthesia and intravenous sedation are used for patients undergoing breast augmentation, although general anesthesia may be desirable in some instances.

When surgery is completed, you will be taken into a recovery area where you will continue to be closely monitored. Your breast will be wrapped in gauze dressings or a surgical bra.

You may be permitted to go home after a few hours, unless you and your plastic surgeon have determined that you will stay in the hospital or surgical facility overnight.

Most patients experience mild discomfort, swelling and bruising after Labioplasty which lasts two to seven days. During this time, women can experience some spotting, and or urinary hesitance. They should wear pads, and apply Neosporin ointment to the surgical sites for comfort. They can take a shower or wash within six hours of surgery, and as frequently as they wish, there after.

Although you can return to sedate activities and work within two days, you should refrain from jogging, biking, horseback riding, running, heavy lifting and sexual intercourse for about 4-6 weeks.

Enhance your body with a mammoplasty or breast enhancement surgery.

Breast augmentation is also known as mammoplasty, breast enlargement or breast enhancement. A saline-filled prosthesis is used, typically after mastectomy as a part of the breast reconstruction process or used cosmetically to augment small breasts.

Recent advancements in technology have provided different shapes (anatomic, teardrop, or round) and textures (smooth or fuzzy). These allow the doctor to customize your surgery and satisfy individual tastes in appearance. Saline implants are used almost exclusively and have been for at least the past twenty years. Saline is not new or experimental in any way and has more than stood the test of time. New implant fillers such as soybean are still experimental, and have not been approved by the FDA.

The ideal candidate for breast augmentation typically has complaints of breasts that are too small or uneven, out of proportion to the rest of her body, or appear to be sagging or deflated. She may also have a desire for clothing to fit better or to feel sexier and have a better body image.

The breast augmentation procedure usually takes about two hours and is done under general anesthesia. The patient will need to take 5-7 days away from work or strenuous obligations.

Using the now widely practiced TUBA (Trans Umbilical Breast Augmentation) technique, an incision is made around the upper edge of the belly button. Through the incision, a slender instrument passes under the skin to a location behind the breast tissue. Temporary breast implant sizers are inserted in the space and inflated to create the space and adjustments are made, then an empty saline implant is placed in the pocket and filled with sterile saline. The space is made exactly in the right place and position to correspond to the exact type of implant. The incision is closed with a few absorbable stitches. The nipples and areolas usually enlarge in proportion to the increased breast size.

The advantages of TUBA include faster recovery, very little tissue trauma, less risk of injury to the sensory nerves of the nipple and breast, shorter operative time, and a single scar away for the breast. The only dressing necessary is a surgical bra. No drains are required and this surgery can be combined with other procedures.

Following the surgery, you will feel very groggy for the first two days and weak for about ten days. However, you can go home after several hours and can shower on the second day after surgery. Moderate pain is typical for the first two days but is mostly gone by the third day and easily controlled by medications. Bruising is unusual and swelling will be moderate for the first week but rapidly disappear. For the first three weeks, breasts will sit high on the chest. They will gradually settle into a natural position and contour. Many everyday activities can be resumed within the first week, and most by at least three weeks.The result of TUBA is very natural, enlarged, full, balanced breasts that improve with time. They will appear with a softness and natural bounce that persists.
