What is Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to increase the size, shape, and symmetry of the breasts. This procedure is ideal for women who want to enhance their breast size, restore the breast volume lost due to pregnancy or weight loss, or achieve a more balanced figure. Dr. Singh offers a tailored approach to breast augmentation, ensuring that your results are harmonious with your body and aligned with your aesthetic goals.

Implant Options

Choosing the right implant is a crucial part of the breast augmentation process. Dr. Singh offers a variety of implant options to cater to your unique needs, including:

Silicone Implants

Silicone implants are popular among patients seeking a soft, natural-looking result with the weight and bounce of natural breasts.

Saline Implants

These implants are filled with a sterile saline solution and can be adjusted during surgery to achieve the desired size.

Gummy Bear Implants

Also known as cohesive gel implants, these provide a more stable shape and are less likely to ripple or fold, offering a natural look and feel.

Fat Transfer

For those seeking a more natural alternative, fat transfer involves using your own body fat to enhance breast volume. This method provides subtle augmentation with the added benefit of body contouring from liposuction.

During your consultation, Dr. Singh will discuss the pros and cons of each implant type, helping you make an informed decision based on your body type, lifestyle, and aesthetic preferences.

The Surgical Process

Dr. Singh’s approach to breast augmentation is both meticulous and highly personalized. The procedure typically involves the following steps:

Consultation: Your journey begins with a one-on-one consultation with Dr. Singh, where you’ll discuss your goals, concerns, and expectations. Dr. Singh will evaluate your anatomy, review your medical history, and help you choose the most appropriate implant type and size.

Anesthesia: On the day of your surgery, Dr. Singh administers anesthesia to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. He typically uses general anesthesia, but local anesthesia with sedation is also an option, depending on the case.

Incision Placement: Dr. Singh carefully selects the incision location to minimize visible scarring. Common incision sites include:

  • Inframammary: Along the crease under the breast.
  • Periareolar: Around the edge of the areola.
  • Transaxillary: In the armpit area.

Implant Placement: Depending on your anatomy and desired outcome, Dr. Singh will place the implant either beneath the chest muscle (submuscular) or directly behind the breast tissue (subglandular).

Closing the Incisions: Dr. Singh uses fine sutures to close the incisions, ensuring that the scars are minimal and well-concealed.

Post-Operative Care: After surgery, you’ll be monitored throughout your recovery. Dr. Singh provides detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and achieve the best possible results.

Recovery and Aftercare

Recovery from breast augmentation varies from patient to patient, but most women can expect to return to normal activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Dr. Singh will provide comprehensive aftercare instructions, including how to care for your incisions, when to resume physical activities, and what to expect during the healing process.

Key Points for a Smooth Recovery

  • Supportive Garments: You will need to wear a surgical bra to support your breasts and minimize swelling.
  • Pain Management: Dr. Singh will prescribe pain medication to manage any discomfort during the initial recovery phase.
  • Limited Physical Activities: Avoid lifting, raising your arms above your head, or any vigorous physical activities or motions until given the go-ahead by Dr. Singh, typically within two to three weeks. Exercise can typically be resumed at about week 5 or 6.
  • Follow-Up Visits: Dr. Singh schedules regular follow-up appointments to monitor your progress and ensure your recovery is on track.
