Breast augmentation, also known as breast enlargement or augmentation mammoplasty, is a popular cosmetic procedure designed to enhance and enlarge the size and shape of the breasts. It involves using implants to increase the volume of the breasts. In some cases, the surgeon may use fat grafts instead of implants. This treatment helps restore the lost shape and size following weight loss or pregnancy and gives the breast a more perkier, rounded, and symmetrical look.
Breast augmentation also:
- Improves the balance between the hip and breast mold.
- Increases the projection and provides fullness to the breasts.
- Enhances your self-esteem and self-image.
- Provides the breasts with a more youthful appearance.

How to prepare for breast augmentation?

How is breast augmentation surgery done?
Right before the surgery, the surgeon will mark incision sites. Then, you will be taken to the surgery room where the specialist will give you general anesthesia. This means you will be sleeping during the whole procedure.
The plastic surgeon will make an incision in the armpit area to avoid scarring on the breast. After that, the implants will be inserted into a pocket under or above the chest muscles. Different implants have different types of insertion methods depending on your body type.
When the implants are inserted, the plastic surgeon will close the incisions using sutures. The incision scar will become less visible with time, and its location under the arm will keep it hidden.
What happens after the surgery?
After the surgery, you will be taken to the recovery area to monitor your condition. When your condition becomes stable, you will be discharged and should be able to go home.
Before leaving, you will be given important instructions for your recovery. The specialist will prescribe some medications including painkillers and medicines to avoid complications during the healing process.
During the initial recovery phase, you will need to wear a supporting bra or elastic bandage to reduce the risk of swelling and support the breasts as they heal. The surgeon will also advise you to avoid strenuous activities for at least six weeks as they can cause bleeding into the pockets around the breast implants.
What results do you expect after the breast augmentation surgery?
Breast augmentation surgery immediately increases the breast volume. Initially, your breasts will appear larger due to swelling. However, they will settle down to your desired shape and volume over time as the swelling subsides.
Breast augmentation surgery is a long-term solution for achieving your ideal cosmetic goals. This will help you look better in swimwear and other clothes, and you will feel much better about yourself. It enhances your overall appearance, giving you a more youthful look and a boost in self-confidence.
