Breast Augmentation Mammoplasty Before and After

Breast augmentation mammoplasty surgery can achieve the following:

• Enlarge petite breasts
• Increase the size and enhance the contours and fullness.
• Restore lost volume by pregnancy, weight loss, or ageing.
• Improve the nipple outward projection.

Women who suffer from breast asymmetry or have had a mastectomy will find the surgery restores their quality of life by enhancing their self-esteem and confidence.

If you experience mild to moderate breast sagging, have uneven or asymmetrical breasts, tuberous breasts, deflated or flattened breasts, or lack upper pole cleavage, you may be a suitable candidate for a breast augmentation mammoplasty procedure. Patients must have fully developed breasts before any breast surgery and be over 18.

When choosing to get breast augmentation mammoplasty surgery, there are numerous considerations and decisions to make, including:

• The type of implant to use
• The shape of the implant that is best suited to your body shape and aesthetic goals.
• The type of finish of the implant.
• The best incision placement to minimise potential scarring and hide its appearance.

During your consultation with Specialist Breast Surgeon Dr Michael Yunaev, you will discuss your concerns and desired outcomes with a breast augmentation mammoplasty, including your medical history and lifestyle. This will give Dr Yunaev the information needed to create a customised procedure plan to provide you with the best possible results.

Breast augmentation mammoplasty is usually performed under general anaesthesia as a day procedure unless other surgeries are planned in conjunction with your breast augmentation mammoplasty. Every breast surgery is unique and tailored to each patient based on their current breast concerns and aesthetic goals. Different incision techniques can be used depending on how much enhancement in size and shape is needed.

• Inframammary Incision
  Under the breast, an incision is made to allow for good manoeuvrability when inserting the implant and conceals any noticeable scarring by the skin’s crease. This is the most frequently employed method.
• Periareolar Incision
  This semicircular incision around the areola beneath the nipple produces minor noticeable scarring. However, it includes additional concerns that could arise, such as the inability to breastfeed and the loss of nipple sensitivity.
• Transaxillary Incision
  When there is a chance of keloid scarring, an incision is made in the armpit area through which implants are inserted. This is the least common technique.

After the incisions are made, a pocket is formed to insert the implants, which can vary depending on the patient’s health and lifestyle. The following are the pocket locations:

• Sub-glandular: beneath the breast tissue and above the pectoral muscle.
• Sub-muscular: located beneath the pectoral muscle.
• Dual plane: partly behind the pectoral muscle and mammary gland.

Sutures are used to close the surgical sites after the placement of the implants. The operation could take between one to two hours. The breasts are covered in bandages to alleviate discomfort, and a support bra is fitted immediately after surgery. Swelling, bruising, and pain are common side effects, with soreness and swelling in the breast area persisting for several weeks following the procedure.

If you feel as if your breasts have changed since pregnancy, ageing, or weight loss, where they are not as perky or voluminous as they used to be, then booking a consultation with Dr Yunaev is the first step. We focus on providing superior treatment plans tailored to each patient’s needs, concerns, and desired aesthetic outcomes for the best possible results to rebuild your confidence.
