Breast augmentation, or augmentation mammoplasty, enhances the size and shape of the breasts using implants or fat transfer. This procedure is perfect for women who desire fuller breasts, want to restore breast volume lost after weight reduction or pregnancy, or achieve better symmetry in their natural breast size. 

Procedure Details: Breast augmentation involves making incisions in inconspicuous areas (such as under the breast, around the areola, or in the armpit) to insert breast implants made of silicone or saline. The implants are placed either under the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle, depending on the desired outcome and the surgeon’s recommendation. The incisions are then closed with sutures. 

Post-Operative Care: After surgery, you’ll need to wear a surgical bra to support the breasts and help them settle into their new shape. Swelling, bruising, and discomfort are common and can be managed with prescribed pain medication. Avoid lifting heavy objects and strenuous activities for several weeks to allow proper healing. 

Special Recommendations: Sleep on your back to avoid pressure on the breasts, and avoid underwire bras during the healing period. Follow your surgeon’s guidelines regarding scar care and activity restrictions.
