What is Breast Augmentation (Implants)?

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgical procedure that enhances breast size and shape using silicone or saline implants placed beneath breast tissue or chest muscle. Performed under general anaesthesia, the surgery involves creating a discreet incision (under breast fold, around areola, or in armpit), creating a pocket beneath breast tissue or pectoral muscle, precisely positioning FDA-approved breast implants, and closing incisions with meticulous technique minimising visible scarring. The procedure typically increases breast size by 1-3 cup sizes, improves breast shape and projection, restores volume lost after pregnancy/weight loss, corrects breast asymmetry, and enhances overall body proportions.

Who Should Consider Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is suitable for women with:

  • Small Breast Size
  • Breast Asymmetry 
  • Post-Pregnancy Volume Loss 
  • Weight Loss related sagging
  • Decreased breast fullness and firmness with aging
  • Tuberous breast deformity, Poland syndrome, & breast hypoplasia like congenital conditions
  • Desire for enhanced feminine figure, improved self-confidence, better clothing fit

What are the Types of Breast Implant Placements?

Submuscular (Under Muscle)

Implant placed beneath pectoral muscle, more natural-appearing upper pole, reduced rippling visibility, easier mammogram interpretation, slightly longer recovery, preferred for thin patients with minimal breast tissue.

Subglandular (Over Muscle)

Implant placed above muscle beneath breast gland, shorter recovery period, less post-operative discomfort, more breast projection, suitable for patients with adequate breast tissue, slightly higher capsular contracture risk.

Dual Plane (Combination)

Upper portion under muscle, lower portion under gland, combines advantages of both techniques, natural-appearing result with good lower pole fullness, commonly preferred approach balancing aesthetics and safety.

What Happens Before, During, and After the Breast Augmentation?

Before Procedure

Pre-Operative Assessment

Complete blood count and medical clearance, cessation of smoking minimum 4 weeks before surgery, avoidance of blood-thinning medications (aspirin, NSAIDs) 2 weeks before the surgery.

Surgical Planning

Selection of appropriate implant size using sizers during consultation, choice of incision location, determination of implant placement, discussion of anaesthesia type and surgical duration, review of post-operative expectations and recovery timeline.

During Procedure 

Anaesthesia

General anaesthesia administered by experienced anaesthesiologists, complete unconsciousness and pain control throughout procedure, endotracheal intubation ensuring safe breathing, continuous vital signs monitoring.

Surgical Incision Inframammary approach

Periareolar approach - Incision along lower areola border, allows direct access to breast tissue, useful for simultaneous breast lift, slightly higher nipple sensation changes risk. Transaxillary approach - Incision in armpit crease, no breast scarring, endoscopic assistance, technically more challenging, limited implant size options.

Implant Insertion and Positioning

Sterile implant carefully inserted through incision into prepared pocket, precise positioning ensuring symmetry and natural appearance, adjustment for optimal projection and breast shape, confirmation of appropriate position before closure.

After Procedure

Recovery Room

Gradual awakening from anaesthesia in a comfortable recovery area, pain medication administration ensuring comfort, monitoring for bleeding, vital signs assessment, instruction on drain care if present (rare), surgical bra fitting and positioning guidelines.

Hospital Stay

Overnight observation recommended for safety monitoring, pain management with oral medications, early mobilisation encouraged, instructions on activity restrictions, discharge next morning once comfortable and stable. 

What are the Recovery & Success Factors?

Minimal Scarring with Advanced Closure Techniques

Surgical skill significantly impacts scar quality. Dr. Gautam employs advanced plastic surgery closure techniques using fine absorbable sutures, tension-free wound approximation, and strategic incision placement in natural skin creases ensuring scars fade to thin, barely visible lines over 6-12 months.

Natural-Looking Results with Expert Surgical Technique

 Dr. Sumit Singh Gautam's surgical technique—precise implant pocket dissection, meticulous haemostasis, optimal implant positioning, and careful wound closure produce natural-appearing breast contours with balanced proportions. 

Comprehensive Post-Operative Care Ensuring Optimal Healing

Detailed post-operative instructions, 24/7 emergency contact availability, and long-term follow-up (years after surgery) demonstrate commitment to patient safety and satisfaction.

What are the Advantages of Breast Augmentation?

Following are the advantages of getting breast augmentation done:

  • Enhanced breast size 
  • Improved body proportions 
  • Restored volume
  • Corrects asymmetry 
  • Boosts confidence 
  • Better clothing fit 
  • Natural appearance 
  • Long-lasting results 
  • Reversible procedure 
  • Minimal visible scarring 
  • Safe procedure & FDA-approved implants 
  • Quick recovery

What are the Risks & Complications Involved in Breast Augmentation?

Infection

Early infection presents as redness, pain, warmth, and fever. Requires antibiotics and possibly implant removal.

Implant Rupture or Deflation

Silicone implant rupture, often asymptomatic detected on MRI, saline implant deflation immediately obvious as breast size decreases, rupture risk increases over time (1-2% per year after 10 years). The causes include trauma, capsular contracture, implant age, requiring an implant replacement surgery.

Breastfeeding Concerns

Most women can breastfeed after augmentation, periareolar incision carries slightly higher risk of milk duct damage.

Implant Malposition

Implant shifting from intended position (too high, low, lateral), causes asymmetry or unnatural appearance, revision surgery corrects malposition, proper surgical technique and post-operative care minimise risk.

Scarring

All surgery creates scars, quality varies between individuals, hypertrophic scars or keloids rare with proper technique, scar placement in natural creases minimises visibility, scar revision possible if needed.

Seroma or Haematoma

Seroma (fluid collection) or haematoma (blood collection) around implant, small collections resolve spontaneously, large collections may require drainage, haematoma risk higher in first 24-48 hours, smoking and certain medications increase risk.

Capsular Contracture 

Normal scar tissue around the implant becomes excessively thick and tight, causing breast firmness, distortion, discomfort, or asymmetry, ranging from mild (asymptomatic) to severe (requiring revision surgery).

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

How do I choose the right implant size?

Dr. Gautam guides size selection based on your body frame, chest width, existing breast tissue, lifestyle, and aesthetic goals. During consultation, you’ll try different sizes in a surgical bra to visualise potential results. Computer imaging also helps demonstrate projected outcomes.

Will breast implants look and feel natural?

Modern silicone gel implants closely mimic natural breast tissue in look and feel. Results look most natural when implant size matches your body frame. Breasts will move naturally, though may feel slightly firmer than natural breasts initially, softening over 3-6 months.

How long do breast implants last?

Modern implants typically last 10-20+ years, though some last longer. Plan for potential replacement surgery during your lifetime. Regular monitoring through clinical examination and MRI (for silicone implants) is recommended.

How painful is breast augmentation recovery?

Most patients describe moderate discomfort (not severe pain) for 3-5 days, well-controlled with prescribed pain medications. Discomfort significantly improves after the first week. Muscle spasms possible with submuscular placement, resolving within 2 weeks.

Can I combine breast augmentation with other procedures?

Yes. Commonly combined procedures include breast lift (mastopexy) for sagging breasts with augmentation, liposuction for body contouring, abdominoplasty (tummy tuck) for comprehensive “mommy makeover.” Combining procedures reduces overall recovery time and cost.

Will I be able to breastfeed after breast augmentation?

Most women successfully breastfeed after breast augmentation. Implants don’t affect milk production or safety. Incision location matters—inframammary and transaxillary approaches less likely to affect milk ducts than periareolar. Discuss breastfeeding plans during consultation so Dr. Gautam can minimise risk.
