A Bit About Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast augmentation surgery, as the name suggests, is a cosmetic procedure that is aimed at increasing the size, shape, or fullness of the breasts. It is alternatively termed as augmentation mammoplasty and uses implants or fat grafting to enhance the shape and size of the breasts.

The exact reasons behind undergoing breast augmentation surgery are highly subjective, but it is safe to say that most women consider it for improved aesthetics. Besides that, the procedure is also done for reconstructive purposes or to address asymmetry.

What are the Key Benefits of Breast Augmentation Surgery?

If you are curious or on the fence about undergoing breast enlargement in Australia, being aware of the benefits should help you finalise the decision much quicker.

Following are some of the key benefits:

• The main benefit of undergoing a breast augmentation is the improved self-confidence. Many individuals experience a significant boost in self-esteem after achieving their desired breast shape and size.
• Beyond the enhanced aesthetic, there are instances where breast augmentation also creates a balanced silhouette, enhancing the overall body proportions.
• In some cases, breast cancer survivors who have undergone mastectomy also undergo breast augmentation surgery, which contributes to their emotional and physical recovery.
• For some women who have asymmetry in their breast size and appearance, breast augmentation helps correct that asymmetry quite effectively.

These are some of the significant benefits of breast augmentation, and when you get the procedure done by leading cosmetic surgeons like ours at Aestiva, the outcome is just what you likely aspired for.

Types of Breast Implants for Breast Augmentation Surgery in Australia

When considering undergoing breast augmentation, a common factor that you have to prioritise is the types of breast implants you have options for.

The following are a few to consider:

1. Saline Implants

These are the most commonly recommended and usually the safest breast implants that you can consider for the augmentation surgery. The implants are filled with sterile saline and are adjustable, depending on the size and shape you are going for. Also, as mentioned, these implants come with minimal risk since saline is harmless if ruptured.

2. Silicone Implants

The next option includes silicone implants, which are made of silicone gel, which mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. It provides a much more natural look and feel. However, due to the composition of the implants, patients need to get regular monitoring to detect ruptures (if any).

3. Fat Grafting

In some rare cases, fat grafting is also a common implant type that is used for breast augmentation treatment in Australia. This procedure involves the transfer of fat from other body parts to the breasts. It provides natural results with no risk of implant rejection. If you want a modest increase in size, this is a potential option to consider.

Are You a Suitable Candidate for Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Even if you have made up your mind about undergoing breast augmentation surgery, there are a lot of prerequisites that you need to match actually to undergo the surgery.

Some of these pointers of consideration are:

• They are physically healthy and have no significant medical conditions.
• Have realistic expectations about the results.
• Anyone that is not satisfied with the size, shape, or symmetry of your breasts
• Have fully developed breasts.

These pointers, paired with the initial consultation, will determine your suitability for the procedure.

What to Expect During Breast Augmentation Surgery in Australia?

Any surgical procedure comes with many complex steps, most of which the patients aren’t aware of. At Aestiva, our aim is to break that barrier and prioritise patient education to ensure that the patient is making informed decisions. Being aware of the steps involved in the treatment also alleviates any anxiety associated with the procedure.

Here is what you can expect during the breast augmentation procedure:

1. Consultation

Like any other surgical procedure, even breast augmentation surgery involves a comprehensive consultation with one of our surgeons at Aestiva. During this consultation, you will discuss why you want to get a breast augmentation and also discuss your medical history and goals from the surgery.

Not just that, during this consultation, you will also be prescribed a host of tests (blood and imaging) to determine your candidature for the surgery. If you are an ideal candidate, you’d be given a complete rundown of the procedure to have realistic expectations out of the treatment.

2. Pre-operative Prep

In the days leading up to the surgery, you’d be advised a series of dos and don’ts by the cosmetic surgeon at Aestiva. This will include refraining from taking blood thinning medications and smoking. You’d also have to follow the specific dietary and lifestyle recommendations that are provided by your surgeon. During this time, you’d also need to arrange for post-operative care and support.

3. Surgery

The main event is the surgery itself, which is a procedure that lasts for 1-2 hours and is done under general anesthesia. Depending on the decided implant type and the surgical plan, your surgeon will make one of the following incisions:

• Inframammary: Along the crease under the breast.
• Periareolar: Around the nipple.
• Transaxillary: Through the armpit.

The chosen implant is then placed either above or beneath the chest muscle, followed by suturing and dressing the incision site.

4. Recovery

The last step in the process of breast augmentation surgery is healing and recovery. Usually, most patients can resume their light activities within a week. However, full recovery may take 4-6 weeks, during which swelling and bruising gradually subside. Your surgeon will give all the necessary aftercare instructions that you need to follow to ensure optimal healing and recovery.

Best Practices for Post-Operative Care After Breast Augmentation Surgery

To ensure that you have a smooth recovery after your breast augmentation surgery, keeping the following pointers should simplify the process for you:

• Every advice and recommendation by your cosmetic surgeon should become your holy grail. Follow them without fail for optimal healing.
• To minimise swelling and support healing, you’d be prescribed to wear a post-surgical bra. Stick to the wearing instructions as your surgeon has stated.
• For the first week or at least 10 days after the surgery, avoid indulging in heavy lifting and intense exercise since that can compromise the healing and recovery.
• You’d need to attend all the follow-up appointments that your surgeon prescribes to monitor progress and watch out for potential complications.

FAQs

1. How long do breast implants last?

The majority of the breast implants last between 10-15 years (sometimes more). Your cosmetic surgeon will provide details about that before the surgery. One thing to keep in mind is that regular monitoring and potential replacements are recommended.

2. Will breast augmentation affect breastfeeding?

In many cases, the ability to breastfeed is retained, but it depends on the surgical technique and placement of the implants.

3. Is it possible to combine breast augmentation with other surgeries?

Many patients opt for a combination, such as a breast lift or tummy tuck, for comprehensive results. However, at the end of the day, it comes down to your personal aesthetic goals, budget and overall physical well-being.

4. Are breast lift and breast augmentation the same?

A breast lift reshapes and raises sagging breasts without altering their size, while breast augmentation enhances breasts’ size and volume with either implants or fat grafting. There are instances where some patients combine the procedures and get them done at the same time.

5. Is breast augmentation surgery painful?

The entire breast augmentation procedure is done under general anesthesia, which means that you won’t feel an ounce of pain or discomfort during the surgery. However, during recovery, it is common to feel pain, bruising and swelling, which can be managed with the prescribed medications.
