Reconstruction: Breast Augmentation can also be used as part of breast reconstruction surgery following mastectomy or other breast cancer treatment. How Breast Augmentation Surgery is Performed? The patient is administered general anaesthesia. The surgeon makes an incision using any of these techniques:  Inframammary- The incision is made under the crease of the breasts Transaxillary- The incision is in the armpit Periareolar- The incision is made around the nipple Transumbilical- The incision is made above the belly button.  A tissue expander is used to create the space between the muscles and tissues of the breast and the chest where the implant will be placed. There are different types of implants available. The two most popular ones are saline and silicone implants. Silicone implants come pre-filled, but saline implants are inserted empty and then inflated with sterile saline solution.  After the implants have been placed, the surgeon uses dissolvable or traditional stitches to close the incision. A dressing is applied to secure it in place. The patient may be asked to wear a surgical bra after the procedure during the healing period. Risks of Breast Augmentation Risks of breast augmentation are: Infection Scarring Bleeding Capsular contracture (scar tissue forming around implants)  Reaction to anaesthesia Difficulty in breastfeeding Lack or loss of sensation in the nipple area Leaking or ruptured implant Rippling of the implant Pain Incorrect placement or movement of the implant Recovery after Breast Augmentation Procedure Recovery and follow-up care are essential to a successful breast augmentation procedure. Some key aspects of recovery and follow-up care for breast augmentation include: Post-operative care: After the surgery, patients receive specific instructions for their incisions and to manage any pain or discomfort. This may involve applying ice packs to reduce swelling, taking medication as prescribed, and avoiding strenuous physical activity for a period. Incision care: Proper incision site care prevents infection and promotes healing. Patients must keep the incisions clean and dry and may need to wear compression garments or surgical bras to support the breasts as they heal. Follow-up appointments: Patients must attend regular follow-ups with their surgeon(s) to monitor progress and ensure that their breasts heal properly. The timing and frequency of these appointments depend on the individual patient and the specific details of their procedure. Pain management: Pain and discomfort are common after breast augmentation, and patients may need to take medication to manage these symptoms. However, follow the surgeon's instructions carefully and avoid overusing pain medication. Swelling: Swelling is also common after breast augmentation and may take a few weeks to resolve fully. Patients may need compression garments or surgical bras as they help reduce swelling and support the breasts as they heal. Physical activity: Patients must avoid strenuous physical activities, like heavy lifting and exercise, for some time after the surgery. Gradual resumption of physical activity is essential to ensure proper healing and minimise complications. Breast massage: Some surgeons may recommend breast massage techniques to help the implants settle into their final position and reduce the risk of capsular contracture.
