Breast augmentation surgery, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a surgical procedure to increase the size of the breasts. During this procedure, the surgeon puts breast implants under the breast tissues to make them look enhanced and enlarged.
This plastic surgery is performed to reconstruct the size and shape of the breasts. It improves the aesthetic appearance, makes the breasts look symmetrical, and fulfills the desired expectation of a patient to achieve a bigger breasts size.
Breast augmentation surgery is for females who want to increase their breast size along with enhancing the aesthetic appearance of the upper body. Also, you can undergo breast augmentation surgery if-
Periareolar
Inframammary fold or Sub-pectoral
Trans-axillary
The plastic surgeon performs a thorough diagnosis before the breast augmentation procedure. The diagnosis may include a physical examination, where the surgeon will analyze the current shape and size of the breasts. During the evaluation, the plastic surgeon will ask about your medical history and current medications or supplements if you are taking any. The surgeon will also try to determine your expectations from the breast augmentation procedure to give you a better idea about the procedure.
There are certain risks and complications that are involved in breast augmentation procedures. Some of them are-
If you want to augment the size of your breasts, you can consult a plastic surgeon at your convenience. This is an elective procedure which means there is no designated time for undergoing the procedure. You can discuss your expectations with the surgeon and plan the surgery accordingly.
Breast Augmentation is of two types- the first one is breast implants and the second one is fat transfer augmentation. In both types, there are different treatment options based on how you want your breasts to look. The right type of augmentation is suggested by the doctor after a detailed discussion.
Fat Transfer Augmentation
This type of augmentation leverages the liposuction technique to take fat from other body parts and inject it directly into the breasts. This method is usually recommended for a woman who wishes to increase her breast size to a small extent. The fat tissues are taken from the belly, flanks, back, or thighs.
Augmentation with Breast Implants
The most popular type of breast augmentation is breast implants. In this method, an implant is inserted behind each breast to increase the cup size and enhance its shape. The breast implants can be placed by using one of the following types of incisions-
Typically, breast augmentation surgery is not covered under health insurance when it is an elective procedure. If the surgery is performed for aesthetic reasons, the patient cannot use an insurance policy to cover the cost of treatment. However, there is an exception to this rule.
Insurance coverage is available for females who have had mastectomies. In this scenario, the procedure is considered a medical necessity instead of an elective surgery. If the breasts are abnormal due to trauma, disease, infection, tumors, or developmental conditions, the augmentation surgery is likely to be covered by insurance. If the breast implantation is being performed to improve the function of the breasts, the insurance providers may provide full or partial coverage for the breast augmentation surgery cost.

The complete recovery after breast augmentation surgery may take somewhere around 4-6 weeks. However, one can resume work after 10-12 days of surgery. In addition, the duration of the recovery may also vary based on the profession you are in. The surgeon will recommend a few instructions for faster and smooth recovery-
The result of breast augmentation surgery is long-lasting. Many women feel satisfied with the outcome of breast augmentation surgery. The treatment gives a woman the freedom to wear desired clothes according to their choice and taste.
The results of breast augmentation surgery are almost permanent if you maintain a healthy diet, regular weight, and follow all the given instructions by your plastic surgeon to preserve the results.
Does breast augmentation surgery change the shape of the breast?
Yes. Breast augmentation surgery may change the shape and size of the breast. In fact, you may see an improved aesthetic appearance of the breast post mammoplasty treatment. The breast may appear fuller and bigger after surgery.
When can I resume work post breast augmentation surgery?
You can resume work within a week post breast augmentation surgery. However, the complete recovery may take at least six to eight weeks. It is always advisable to consult the doctor before resuming work. Depending on the profession, the surgeon would recommend the correct time to resume work.
