Overview
A breast implant surgery is done to:
- Increase breast size
- Enhance the breast shape
- Correct asymmetry and uneven appearance
- Restore breast volume loss due to surgery or injury
- Reconstruct a breast after the treatment of breast cancer
- Overcome breast sagging
Once the patient is given anaesthesia, the surgeon will make an incision in one of the below areas:
- Along the underside of the breast (most popular)
- Around the nipple
- Underarm (only in selected women)
The location where the incision has been performed can affect how visible the scars would be after the surgery. It will also decide the complications that a patient may experience after breast enlargement treatment. The surgeon will put the breast implant into the pocket above or below the chest muscle. After the implant is placed, the surgeon will close the incision with sutures and may also place temporary drains to prevent fluid or blood accumulation.
The patient’s breast will be wrapped in gauze or a surgical bra. The scars of a breast enlargement surgery may fade in two or three months, depending on the skin type of the patient.
Following the surgery, some pain, swelling and tenderness are normal, which may last for a month or longer, but should go away with time. For most women, scars will turn into thin lines over the time. The surgeon may prescribe some medications to relieve pain and nausea and will also discuss ways to take care of the surgical area.
At the surgeon’s recommendation, a patient is likely to return to work within a few weeks. However, it is strongly advised to avoid any strenuous activities that could increase blood pressure and pulse rate, for a minimum of two weeks. Be sure to ask the surgeon about a schedule for follow-up visits along with the precautions which need to be taken.
