Breast augmentation, also sometimes referred to as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to increase breast size. It is achieved by placing breast implants under the breast tissue or chest muscles. Although, some opt for it due to cosmetic reasons many undergo breast augmentation as a part of rebuilding the breast for various conditions.
Why Is It Done?
Breast Augmentation involves implants and since there are several choices to be made about the style of the implant, it is important to know the technicalities of the same:
Surface
Two implant surface types are available for patients undergoing breast augmentation - smooth and textured.
Textured implants have small bumps on the surface. These implants were developed in hopes of reducing the risk of contracture, a complication some women develop after augmentation.
Smooth implants have a smooth rather than bumpy surface. Many surgeons prefer smooth implants for their softer and more natural feel.
Filler
Women have the choice of implants filled with cohesive silicone gel or with saline. Modern implants are filled with silicone that has a “gummy bear” consistency. In case of saline filled implant, in the unlikely event of a rupture in the outer shell of the implant, saline, a completely bio absorbable salt water solution would be simply absorbed into the body and the implant would deflate. Woman would not likely notice any change in implant volume if there was loss of integrity in the shell of a silicone filled implant. Because of this, it is recommended a periodic MRI to confirm integrity of silicone filled implants.
Shape
There are two shape options for implants, tear drop or round. Generally, round implants conform best to the natural shape of the breast and offer women favorable results. Tear drop, or contoured, implants may be a fit for women who have had parts of the breast removed during a previous surgery, such as mastectomy reconstruction. Round implants may be either smooth or textured while shaped implants are always textured.
Placement
Implants can be placed either behind the breast tissue, subglandular, or behind the pectoralis chest muscles submuscular. About 75% of augmentation is done in the submuscular plane. Submuscular placement typically offers better results for thin women or women hoping to drastically enlarge their breasts. Subglandular placement may offer women with sag in their breasts better results.
Will breast augmentation increase the risk of breast cancer?
Women who get implants are not at an increased risk of getting breast cancer. In addition, implants do not delay the detection of breast cancer. Having implants does not hinder the patient or their physician in finding breast tumors.
Will augmentation work if I have sagging breasts?
Women with sagging breasts which are called "ptosis", can also receive breast implants. Depending on how much the breast sags, additional surgery may also be necessary.
How is the recovery time?
It is recommended that patients begin walking immediately after surgery. However, women should not perform any intense physical exercise for six weeks following the operation. Physical exercise including weight lifting, biking, jogging, and other forms of intense activities may cause implants to shift position or cause wound healing problems altering the appearance of the breasts after surgery.
