BREAST AUGMENTATION
SURGICALBreast Augmentation is the surgical term for enlarging or reshaping the female breasts by the insertion of implant
What are the risks and likely after effects?
After breast augmentation it is normal for all women to experience swelling, bruising and numbness. A very small number may also encounter infection. Long term, in a minority of cases the body may react to the implants by creating a hard capsule of scar tissue around them. This is correctable. The risks can be reduced by massage that shall be explained after the operation.
Why is it popular?
There are two types of patient who need this operatIon. Firstly, those who have never developed breast tissue and secondly, those who have found their breast tissue has decreased after having children. The benefits are self evident. Your breasts will be larger, fuller, firmer and more shapely.
What does the procedure involve?
The procedure is performed either under a local anesthetic or general anesthetic, you can choose which. Your surgeon will make a small incision (usually 4-5cm) under each breast. The breast tissue is then raised from the underlying muscles and a pocket created, into which a textured silicone implant is inserted. The skin is then closed with small stitches and a light dressing applied.
How long does it take?
The whole procedure usually takes about an hour to perform. Sometimes if the tissue is thin, implants are placed behind the muscle.
Do the implants ever rupture?
It is virtually impossible for silicone implants to rupture spontaneously. In the unlikely event that this does occur (due to a strong force as in a car accident) the gel-like nature of the filling means that the substance will stay in place and will not leak or migrate outside the casing so removal is easy.
How long do implants last?
The average life expectancy of an implant is probably around 15-17 years, but this will depend on many factors.
Will implants effect my ability to breasfeed?
No absolutely not, the implants will not affect breast feeding.
