The breast augmentation procedure is usually performed in surgical centres, clinics or outpatient facilities. After the treatment, the patient can go home on the same day.
In some cases, breast augmentation surgery is performed during local anaesthesia keeping your breast numbed, but the patient is awoken. Generally, it is done with general anaesthesia, in which the patient falls asleep during the procedure. After examining your health and the type of surgery to be performed, your surgeon will determine the best anaesthesia option for you.
In breast augmentation surgery, an implant is inserted into the desired area. For that purpose, a single incision is made in one of three areas:
- Crease under the breast (inframammary)
- Around nipple (periareolar)
- Under your arm (auxiliary)
Once the incision is made, the surgeon separates the breast tissue with muscles and connective tissue of the chest. Next, they make a pocket in the front or behind the muscle of the chest wall. The implant is inserted into the pocket and then centred around the nipple.
The saline implants are kept empty, and after they are inserted, they are filled with sterile water. However, the silicone gel is pre-filled. Once the implant is inserted, the surgeon closes the incision with stitches and wraps it with bandages.
After the procedure, the soreness and swelling will last for a few weeks. You can experience bruising as well. Although scars will fade away with time, they might not disappear completely.
To support the implants and ensure proper position, doctors recommend wearing a sports bra for a few days. After that, you may want to consult your doctor on how and when to return to your daily routine.
Warmth, redness in the breast, and fever are signs of infection. If you have any of these complications after the surgery, have a consultation with your doctor at the earliest.
