Breast Augmentation

Breast augmentation, also known as mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure that uses breast implants or fat to increase the size of your breasts, restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy, achieve a more rounded breast shape, or improve natural breast size asymmetry. This surgery is not only meant for cosmetic reasons but can also serve medical purposes, such as breast reconstruction after mastectomy or injury. 

Who is suitable for this service? 

Breast augmentation is suitable for individuals who meet the following criteria: 

• Over the age of 18. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has approved saline breast implants for women aged 18 and above and silicone breast implants for those aged 22 and above. 

• Individuals in good physical health, meaning they should be physically healthy and not pregnant or breastfeeding. 

• Individuals who feel that their breasts are too small, are unevenly sized or shaped, or have lost shape or volume due to age, weight loss, or following pregnancy and breastfeeding. 

Breast augmentation can give immediate results in terms of size, but the final shape and position will typically settle and be clear around 6-12 months after the procedure. The procedure can help improve self-image and self-confidence for many individuals. 

Duration of the Service: 

The procedure typically takes 1-2 hours, and the recovery process, including post-surgical observation in the hospital, usually takes a few hours. However, full recovery at home takes a bit longer, often a few weeks. 

Please note, it's essential to discuss your goals and expectations thoroughly with your surgeon before the surgery. The surgeon will help guide you in choosing the right type and size of implants based on your lifestyle, body contours, existing breast tissue, and the surgical technique that they will use. Always remember to consider the risks along with the benefits. Like any major surgery, breast augmentation carries risks, including scarring, pain, infection, and possibility of reoperation. 

Breast augmentation, or mammoplasty, increases breast size using implants or fat, aiding cosmetic and medical needs like reconstruction after mastectomy. Suitable for individuals over 18, in good health, the procedure takes 1-2 hours with a recovery period that may last several weeks.
