Risks and Complications

Types of Breast Augmentation

Implant-Based Augmentation

Implant Types :

  • Silicone Implants: Filled with silicone gel; provides a natural feel.
  • Saline Implants: Filled with sterile salt water; adjustable size and lower rupture risk.
  • Gummy Bear Implants: Form-stable, highly cohesive silicone for a firmer look.
  • Shapes : Round or teardrop (anatomical) implants.

    Placement Options :

  • Submuscular: Under the chest muscle; gives a natural slope but requires longer recovery.
  • Subglandular: Over the muscle and under the breast tissue; shorter recovery but may be more noticeable in thinner patients.
  • Fat Transfer Augmentation

  • Involves removing fat via liposuction from areas like the thighs or abdomen, purifying it, and injecting it into the breasts.
  • Produces a natural appearance but offers a limited size increase.
  • Recovery Timeline

    Immediate Post-Op (1-2 weeks)

    Weeks 3-6

    Months 3-6

    The Procedure

    • Typically performed under general anesthesia.
    • Duration: 1-2 hours.
    • Incision Locations:
      Inframammary: In the fold under the breast (most common).
      Periareolar: Around the areola.
      Transaxillary: In the armpit.
    • Implants are inserted and positioned, and incisions are closed.

    Longevity of Results

    Implants are not lifetime devices; replacements or revisions may be needed after 10-15 years. Regular monitoring with your surgeon is recommended.
