What is Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Breast augmentation’ or commonly known as, ‘boob job’, has become an increasingly popular way to make breast bigger. Not just can the cosmetic procedure boosts your appearance and self-esteem but medically the procedure can help to correct congenital defects as well as to restore breast volume after childbirth or weight loss. Also known as breast enlargement or mammoplasty can not just change the size but also the shape and the texture of your breast.

The augmentation surgeries are divided into two categories. One is primary and another is secondary augmentation surgeries. The primary augmentation surgery can enhance the health of your breast, whereas secondary augmentation surgery is usually for breasts with congenital defects. Generally, surgeons insert breast implants made of either saline or silicone to give your breast a much fuller look.

How Does A Breast Augmentation Surgery Work?

The whole operation would usually take around 60-90 minutes under general anaesthetic. The surgery starts off with the surgeon cutting the skin either at the bottom of the areola or below the breast. The process is basically dissecting out like a pocket under the breast where your pectoralis muscle is. This is done to place breast implants. Once the breast implants are in the right place, the surgeon will then stitch back in the open muscle. The final step of the procedure is covering the wound with a dressing.

What Are The Side Effects of The Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Let’s be realistic here, any surgery carries its own sets of risk and side effects. Especially, breast surgery is a high-risk surgery and it is not a one day process. After the surgery, you need time for the wounds to heal and for the body to adjust to the changes. The most common side effects of breast implant surgery are swelling and bruising. You may also feel a slight tightness in the chest for a few weeks after the surgery.

Apart from that, the more serious side effects are like hardening of the breast tissue, due to scar tissue shrinking around the implant. If the breast implants didn’t set in properly, you may also have a rupture where the implant leaks and can cause a small lump. The implants may also rotate and fall off place. Another thing is that after a boob job you’ll not be able to breast-feed!!!

However, the conditions are not the same for all. Different people have a different reaction to it. Most of the effects are temporary and if the conditions persist immediately go back to the clinic. The doctors will be able to give you further information about it and if needs so may carry out a further operation. Don’t worry too much though! With the latest technologies and certified medical experts, the damages and complications are very minimal.
