| Surgical Procedure |
 |
Our surgeons prefer to make the incision in the crease of armpit, since in most cases the scar is almost invisible. The incision is made with a special instrument designed to create a space for the implant. The extent of the incision must be smooth and appropriate for the size of the implant. After surgery, a bandage will be applied over your breasts for two days after surgery to speed up healing. |
|
 |
| Types of Implants |
 |
All breast implants utilize a silicone shell but contain different kinds of filler, gel or saline. The outer silicone shell may be smooth shiny and polished, or a slightly rough texture.
Breasts augmented with the textured implants are less likely to develop contracting capsules than those with the smooth implants. |
|
 |
| Placement of Implants |
 |
There are two techniques for placing implants.
1. The implants are placed under the breast tissue and over the chest muscle.
2. The implants are placed under the chest muscle and breast tissue.
These two options should be thoroughly discussed between the patient and the surgeon. |
|
 |
| Duration of Operation |
 |
Thirty minutes to one hour |
|
 |
| Risks and Complications |
 |
Capsular contracture can occurs if the capsules around the implants begin to tighten and thicken. This will cause the breasts to feel hard and appear unnatural. Hard breasts can be treated in several ways. Sometimes removal of the capsule is required, or perhaps the implant needs to be replaced. Bleeding is usually minimal during the operation. In an unusual case, bleeding after surgery may cause a large blood clot that needs to be removed. Infection is an uncommon risk. However, if a breast becomes infected, the implant must be removed immediately. You need to wait for several months before repeating the operation. |
|
 |
| Recovery and After Care Treatment |
 |
All dressings and bandages are removed on the third day following the operation. Afterwards, the patient is free to bathe as usual. |
|
 |
The patient is requested to gently move the implants upward, downward, and inward in order to decrease the chances of capsule contracture. |
|
 |
Only gentle massaging is recommended. Overly aggressive manipulation of the implant or strong squeezing can possibly cause an inflammation, thus producing an adverse effect on the capsules. |
|
 |
During the first month following surgery, you should exercise your implants three to four times per for fifteen to twenty minutes. After that, if breast contour improve satisfactorily, you will need to exercise only once or twice daily. |

| Pre Operative Assessment for Size and Placement of the Implant |
 |
Our goal is to augment your breast to a size in better proportion to your physique and maintain a natural look. |
|
 |
The size and placement of the implant we choose will depend on many factors, such as your original cup size, your desired cup size, and your physique including chest muscle. |
 |
If you have only a small amount of breast tissue and want to enhance the tissue much as possible, it is recommended that a large implant is placed below the muscle in order to prevent the feeling or appearance of the implant. There is also less chance of capsular contracture. |
 |
If you have large chest muscles as a result of exercising, the implant should be placed above the muscles in order to allow for comfortable movement and a natural look. |
 |
For patients with mild to moderate breast sagging, larger implants placed over the muscle is recommended. The larger the implant, the greater and more favourable the augmentation. |
|
 |
| Post Operative Care |
 |
For at least three to five days upon surgery, try to keep arm extension to a minimum. After removing the gauze dressing, you may be required to wear a support bra to help your breasts form and maintain a pleasing and balanced shape. You will probably be able to resume exercise and normal physical activities within a month or two when soreness has subsided. |
