Breast Augmentation
What is Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation involves either fat transfers or implants in order to increase the size and shape of the breasts using surgical procedures. Breast augmentation is a popular choice among women for:
- Getting more symmetrical, fuller breasts
- Restoring volume lost due to weight loss or pregnancy
- Improving body contours and proportions
- Addressing birth defects such as underdeveloped breasts
As the process is tailored to your aesthetic preferences, the outcomes will feel natural and fit your particular body type.
How to Choose the Right Breast Implant
Choosing the right implant is essential to getting the outcomes you want. We provide a range of implant choices, such as:
- Silicone Implants
Women who want a more subdued, soft look and feel will love silicone implants because of their natural feel and appearance. You can select the one that best fits your body type because they come in a variety of sizes and shapes. - Saline Implants
Saline implants, which have a firmer feel and can be adjusted in size, are filled with a sterile saltwater solution. If the implant ruptures, the body absorbs the saline solution safely. - Transfer of Fat
Fat transfer may be the best option in some circumstances. Liposuction is used in this procedure to remove fat from places like the thighs or abdomen, which is purified and then injected into the breasts. It is preferred by those who don’t want to opt for a non-implant option. - Textured vs. Smooth
In order to satisfy a range of patient preferences, we also provide implants with smooth and textured surfaces. While smooth implants provide a smoother texture, textured implants may lessen the chance of movement after placement.
We’ll work with you to select the option that best suits your needs and guarantees a harmonious, natural appearance.
Breast Augmentation Procedure
Before the surgery, Dr. Alibhai will discuss your goals, medical history, and options. Together, you’ll decide on implant type, size, and placement to achieve your ideal look.
Breast augmentation surgery typically takes 1-2 hours and is performed under general anesthesia. During the procedure, our surgeon will make an incision and carefully place the implants or transfer the fat.
After surgery, most patients experience some swelling, bruising, and discomfort, but these effects generally subside within a few weeks. You’ll be given post-operative care instructions (which include guidance on wearing a supportive bra, how to manage discomfort, and when to return for follow-up visits.)
What Results Can You Expect?
While each person’s experience will vary, most patients report feeling confident and empowered after their procedure. Whether you desire a subtle enhancement or a more dramatic transformation, breast augmentation is designed to offer:
- Improved symmetry and balance
- Increased volume
- Natural-looking results
It’s important to remember that results take time to settle, and your final outcome will be visible as the healing process progresses.
