Breast Augmentation and Lifting (with implant)

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty or a "boob job," is a common surgical procedure to enlarge or bring symmetry to the breasts. It can be performed to increase natural size, correct sagging and volume loss, or reconstruct breasts for breast cancer patients who have undergone mastectomy surgery.

Individuals eligible for this surgical procedure are those dissatisfied with their current breast size and have completed their breast development. This intervention is particularly beneficial for individuals with breast asymmetry, ensuring both breasts achieve a harmonious balance.

The methodology for breast augmentation varies depending on the preferred technique. Achieving the desired breast enlargement involves attaching a breast prosthesis, with the procedure typically performed under general anesthesia. There exist two fundamental types of breast implants: Saline and silicone gel. Saline-filled implants consist of silicone shells filled with sterile salt water. Some come pre-filled, while others can be filled post-placement, allowing for smaller incisions and scars. Silicone gel-filled implants, on the other hand, comprise silicone shells filled with a plastic gel. As these implants are pre-filled, they do not permit size adjustments based on body proportions. The choice of the best implant depends on the specific needs of each patient, taking into consideration the individual's breast and rib cage structure. Opting for a realistic prosthesis is crucial at this stage.

Primarily, these silicones undergo rigorous testing and are manufactured with utmost reliability. Therefore, we can say that there is no risk.
