Types Of Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast Augmentation With Implants:

1. Breast Augmentation With Silicone Implants: Silicone implants are a popular choice for breast augmentation surgery. The cohesive gel in these silicone implants make them natural-feeling, while also providing the option to choose between round or tear drop shapes available in varying sizes.

2. Breast Augmentation With Saline Implants: Saline implants are a popular alternative to silicone implants. They are silicone shells filled with saline (salt water). They can be either pre-filled or filled after placement in the breasts.

Breast Augmentation With Fat Grafting:

Fat grafting is a technique in which fat extracted from one’s own body through liposuction can be used to inject into the breasts. It is a more natural way to increase the breast size.

Who Is The Ideal Candidate For Breast Augmentation Surgery?

Women with fully developed breasts who are unhappy with the size (small or uneven), shape or appearance of their breasts can opt for this surgery.

Women in good physical health, non-smokers or willing to quit smoking and having realistic expectations are good candidates for breast augmentation surgery.

The person should also be able to take time off work in order to recover from their procedure before they can return back again with energy!

How Is Breast Augmentation Surgery Performed At Arora Plastic Surgery and Med Spa?

Using Breast Implants:

The basic principle is to place an implant either under the breasts over the muscle or under the muscle. The operation is done under general anesthesia and involves making one small incision close to where the lower border of the breast meets with chest wall muscle (just below the breast in the inframammary crease) or around the nipple (periareolar). After creating the pocket in which the implants are placed, the incision is closed. The implants can also be placed via incisions in the axilla (transaxillary) or via incision around the umbilicus (TUBA or transumbilical breast augmentation).

Using Fat Graft:

Breast augmentation using fat graft involves removal of fat from another area of the body, usually the tummy, buttocks, or thighs, and injected into the breasts. First, the fat is removed via liposuction. Then, it’s allowed to settle and the fluid and blood are removed and the fat left behind is injected using specific cannula under the breast tissue with a syringe.

What Happens After Breast Augmentation Surgery?

After breast augmentation, patients are usually kept under observation for two to three hours to make sure that there are no concerns. The patient needs to wear support garments and should avoid any kind of activity that involves heavy movement or lifting. The prescribed medications to alleviate the pain and soreness need to be taken. Stitches are generally dissolvable so they won’t need removal.

How Much Does Breast Augmentation Surgery Cost In Springfield?

The cost of breast augmentation surgery will vary depending on which procedure you choose - whether it’s implants and/or fat grafting. Other factors that affect the total price include facility costs and post-surgery garments. The cost of breast augmentation surgery is not covered by insurance.

What Are The Risks Associated With Breast Augmentation?

The most common risks with breast augmentation, as with any other surgery, include bleeding, infection, scarring, need for further surgery, wound healing problems. Risks related to breast augmentation with implants include:

• Implant leaks/ruptures
• Implant deflation or shifting
• Asymmetry
• Change in nipple sensation

Risks related to fat grafts include:
