When we hear the word breast surgery, apart from relating it to a method of treating women cancer patients, it connotes a different thing, breast augmentation. Breast augmentation involves inserting of a silicone bag under the chest muscle and the breast or just under the breast filled with sterilized saline solution. This will enhance the breast of a woman; it could give the breast a fuller look, adds cleavage and great contour.
The incision can be made in different parts of the body such as at the edge of the areola (this is the brown area of the nipple and the areola), under the fold of the breast, in the areola area itself, it could be in the armpit or the umbilical area which uses an endoscope so that the breast implant will be placed properly. The thinnest scar will appear in the areola while other areas have more evident scars.
In breast surgery, we often hear the word smooth surface implants and textured implants during the breast augmentation process. For smooth surface implants, this will need to make a big pocket but with 10% incidence of capsule contracture but occasional wrinkling or rippling which gives the skin a wavy appearance. The textured implant on the other hand has only 3% capsule contracture incidence but up to 9% rippling occurrence.
The easiest and the less painful implant position is under the tissue of the breast while the difficult position would be under the chest muscle but then the good thing about this is the very little occurrence of capsule contracture and less incidence of rippling.
Naturally, the patient will have the final say on the size of the breast that she wants to achieve. The cup size is not really the best thing to use as measurement for cups sizes varies depending on the manufacturer. The best thing is to bring a photo and show this to your surgeon for the final look.
The implants have the possibility of lasting for a lifetime and it may not, it depends on the manufacturer and on the skill of the surgeon that did the breast surgery and some of other factors. Most patients who had breast augmentation are happy about it thereby increasing their self confidence and self esteem. Women who undergo breast augmentation should not be influenced by any outside forces. This is a personal choice and you choose to have this option for the only reason that you want to be self fulfilled.
