What Is Breast Augmentation? How Much Does It Cost?.

Why Opt For Breast Augmentation?
 

Breast augmentation is used for two reasons: cosmetic or reconstructive. 

– Cosmetic: To enhance the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts for esthetic purposes.
– Reconstructive: To reconstruct the breasts generally after breast cancer surgery.


A woman's reasons for choosing breast augmentation are highly personal. There is no “typical” breast augmentation patient, and women prefer to have the procedure for many different reasons. Common goals of breast augmentation:

  • Enlarge breasts that are naturally small
  • Restore breast size and shape after pregnancy, weight loss or breastfeeding 
  • Restore symmetry when the breasts are asymmetrical 
  • Restore the breast or breasts after surgery 
  • Adding balance to better complement curvy hips

In 2007, a study by researchers from the University of Florida found that breast enlargement through cosmetic surgery boosts women's self-esteem and their feelings about their sexuality. It is easy to see why it is one of the most popular procedures with a high satisfaction rate.
 

How Is It Done?
 

Breast augmentation is done by placing implants behind the breast tissue or under the chest muscle. An implant is a sac filled with either sterile salt water (saline) or a material called silicone. Implants may last from 7 to 12 years on average.

Most women receive general anesthesia for this surgery which makes the patient asleep and the procedure pain-free. Another option is to receive local anesthesia so that they will be awake and will receive medicine to numb their breast area to block pain.


There are different ways to place breast implants:
 

  • In the most common technique, the surgeon makes a cut (incision) on the underside of the breast, in the natural skin fold. The surgeon places the implant through this opening. The scar may be a little more visible if she is younger, thin, and have not yet had children.

 

  • The implant may be placed through a cut under the arm. The surgeon may perform this surgery using an endoscope which works by a tool with a camera and surgical instruments at the end. The endoscope is inserted through the cut. There will be no scar around the breast. But, there might be a visible scar on the underside of the arm.

 

  • The surgeon may cut the edge of the areola (the darkened area around the nipple). The implant is placed through this opening. There might be some problems with breastfeeding and loss of sensation around the nipple with this method.

 

  • A saline implant may be placed through a cut near the belly button. An endoscope is used to move the implant up to the breast area. Once in place, the implant is filled with saline.


The type of implant and implant surgery can affect:
 

-How much pain you have after the procedure
-The appearance of your breast
-The risk for the implant breaking or leaking in the future
-Your future mammograms


Your surgeon can help you decide which procedure is best for you.
