BREAST AUGMENTATION
What is Breast Augmentation?
Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, is a procedure that enhances the size, shape, and fullness of the breasts. Whether due to naturally small breasts, post-pregnancy changes, weight fluctuations, or aging, this procedure can help you achieve a fuller and more proportionate silhouette. It uses either silicone implants, saline implants, or fat transfer to create natural-looking results that align with your body’s unique contours.
Types of Breast Augmentation
Silicone Implants:
Known for a more natural feel, they are ideal for achieving both subtle and more dramatic enhancements.
Fat Transfer:
For those preferring a more natural approach, fat grafting uses fat from your body to add volume and enhance breast shape.

How Can Breast Augmentation Improve My Appearance?
Breast augmentation can do more than just enhance your appearance—it can restore self-confidence and improve how you feel in your skin. Here’s what it can help you achieve

Alleviates back, neck, and shoulder pain, making daily activities more comfortable.
03 Enhanced Mobility
Easier movement and more freedom during physical activities like running, dancing, or yoga.
02 Improved Posture

Breast Augmentation Procedure Details
Breast augmentation is performed as a daycare procedure under general anesthesia and usually lasts between 3-4 hours. The surgery involves creating a pocket for the implant, which is then placed either beneath the breast tissue or under the chest muscle (dual plane). For fat transfer, liposuction is first performed to harvest fat from areas like the abdomen or thighs.
Recovery and Follow-up
After the procedure, you’ll be monitored for a few hours before discharge. You can expect some swelling and bruising, which will subside over time. Most patients can return to light activities within a week but should avoid strenuous exercises for at least 4-6 weeks. A supportive bra is advised during this period to ensure proper healing.
Immediate Follow-up:
5-7 days post-surgery for suture removal (if needed).
Long-term Follow-up:
Check-ins at 6 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months to monitor progress and ensure optimal results.

Breast Augmentation FAQ
1. What is the cost of Breast Augmentation?
The cost varies depending on the type of implants used, surgical facility, and other factors. During your consultation, Dr. Aditya will provide a detailed breakdown of costs based on your specific needs.

Dr. Aditya offers silicone implants, saline implants, and fat transfer options. Each type has unique benefits, and the choice will be based on your anatomy and aesthetic goals.
3. What is the average lifespan of a breast implant?
Breast implants are not lifetime devices. The average lifespan of implants is about 10-15 years, though some may last longer. Regular check-ups are advised to monitor implant integrity.
4. Do breast implants cause breast cancer?
No, breast implants do not cause breast cancer. However, they can make mammograms slightly more challenging, which is why specialized imaging techniques are recommended for routine screenings.
5. Will breast augmentation affect my ability to breastfeed?
Breast augmentation usually does not affect breastfeeding. Implants are typically placed either behind the breast tissue or under the chest muscle, preserving the milk ducts and glands.
6. Will the recovery after breast augmentation be painful?
Recovery can be managed with oral painkillers, with pain described as mild to moderate. Patients often rate the pain between 3 to 5 on a 10-point scale. Submuscular implants may cause slightly more discomfort than sub-glandular placement, but this subsides within a few days.
7. When can I start exercising post-breast augmentation surgery?
Light activities can be resumed within a week, but strenuous exercises should be avoided for 4-6 weeks to ensure proper healing.
8. When can I resume work after surgery?
Most patients can return to work within 5-7 days, depending on the nature of their job. Those with physically demanding roles may need a longer break.
9. Will the scars be visible?
Dr. Aditya ensures incisions are placed in inconspicuous areas like the breast crease, areola, or armpit. While initial scarring will be visible, it fades significantly over time with proper care.
10. What are the potential risks and complications of breast augmentation?
As with any surgery, potential risks include infection, bleeding, implant rupture, or capsular contracture. Dr. Aditya will discuss these risks during your consultation and take preventive measures to minimize them.
11. Can I sleep on my chest after Breast Augmentation?
It’s advised to avoid sleeping on your chest for at least 4-6 weeks after surgery. Sleeping on your back with elevated support is recommended to promote healing and reduce swelling.

The cost varies depending on the extent of reduction, facility, and other factors. Dr. Aditya will provide a detailed estimate during your consultation.
