What is Breast Implants surgery?
Breast implants are a surgical procedure used to improve the size and form of a woman's breasts. The treatment involves placing saline or silicone-filled implants into the breasts to obtain the desired size and improve the overall breast look.
Who Needs Breast Augmentation?
Small or Underdeveloped Breasts:
Women with naturally small breasts may desire a more proportionate figure.
Asymmetrical Breasts:
In some cases, breast sizes may differ significantly, and implants can achieve symmetry.
Reconstructive Purposes:
Breast reconstruction after mastectomy or breast injury can be accomplished with implants.
Benefits of Breast Implants
Improved Confidence and Self-esteem:
Enhanced breast size can positively impact body image and self-assurance.
Achieving Desired Body Proportions:
Implants can create a balanced and harmonious figure.
Restoring Breast Volume:
After pregnancy or weight loss, implants can restore breast volume and shape.
Customizable Results:
Patients can choose from various implant sizes and shapes to achieve their desired outcome.
Before Surgery
Consultation with a Plastic Surgeon:
Discuss your goals with the plastic surgeon.
Implant Selection:
Discuss with your surgeon to choose the appropriate implant size, type, and placement.
Medical Evaluation:
You will need to go through a thorough medical evaluation to ensure you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
Medication Adjustments:
Your surgeon may advise you to adjust or discontinue certain medications before surgery to reduce the risk of complications.
Quit Smoking:
It is best to quit smoking before the procedure. It will help reduce the risk of complications and enhance healing.
During the Procedure
Anesthesia:
The procedure will be performed under general anesthesia to ensure the patient's comfort and safety.
Breast Implant Insertion:
Surgeon will make a single incision in one of three places: The crease under your breast (inframammary). Under your arm (axillary). Around your nipple (periareolar).
Creating the Pocket:
After making the incision, the surgeon will separate your breast tissue from the chest muscles and connective tissue. This creates a pocket either behind or in front of the outermost chest muscle (pectoral muscle). The implant will then be placed into this pocket and centered behind your nipple.
Saline and Silicone Implants:
Saline implants are placed empty and filled with saline water once in place. Silicone implants come pre-filled with silicone gel.
Closing the Incision:
Once the implant is in place, the surgeon will close the incision, typically using stitches (sutures). Then your surgeon will bandage it with skin adhesive and surgical tape.
After Surgery
Recovery Time:
Patients can typically return home on the same day but should avoid strenuous activities for several weeks.
Pain Management:
Pain medications are prescribed to manage any discomfort experienced after the procedure.
Compression Garments:
Patients may be advised to wear a compression garment or a supportive bra to aid healing and reduce swelling.
Follow-Up:
Make sure you go for a regular follow-up appointments. with your surgeon to monitor healing and address any concerns.
Types of Surgery
Saline Implants:
These implants are filled with a saline solution after placement, offering adjustable volume and a uniform shape.
Silicone Gel Implants:
Silicone gel-filled implants provide a more natural feel and contour.
Recovery Time after the Surgery
The recovery time after breast implant surgery varies from person to person. Most patients can start with their light activities within a week, but full recovery, including the resolution of swelling and bruising, may take several weeks.
Risk Associated with the Surgery
Infection:
Although rare, infection can occur around the implant site and may require additional treatment.
Capsular Contracture:
Scar tissue can form around the implant, causing it to feel firm or misshapen.
Implant Rupture or Leakage:
Implants may rupture or leak over time, requiring replacement or removal.
Changes in Sensation:
Some patients may experience temporary or permanent changes in breast and nipple sensations.
Alternate Procedures Available
Fat Transfer:
Liposuction is used to harvest fat from other body areas, which is then purified and injected into the breasts to add volume.
Breast Lift (Mastopexy):
This procedure is aimed at lifting and reshaping sagging breasts without the use of implants.
Consider the following before deciding on breast implants:
Sagging Concerns:
Breast implants won't prevent breast sagging. A breast lift may be recommended alongside augmentation to address sagging.
Limited Lifespan:
Implants may not last a lifetime, typically around 10 years. Rupture is possible, and aging or weight changes can affect appearance, possibly requiring further surgery.
Mammograms and Special Views:
Breast implants may complicate mammograms, necessitating additional specialized views for proper screening.
Breastfeeding Challenges:
Breast implants might affect breastfeeding for some women, though others may still be able to breastfeed successfully.
Implant Removal Considerations:
Removing implants may require additional surgery, like a breast lift, to restore the breasts' appearance.
Silicone Implant Monitoring:
Regular screening for silicone implant rupture is recommended by the FDA, with breast MRIs every five to six years, followed by routine screening every two to three years. Ultrasound may be an alternative, depending on symptoms. Discuss with your plastic surgeon for specific monitoring guidelines.
