Breast Augmentation ( Breast Enlargement Surgery)


Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure to cosmetically enhance the size and shape of a woman's breast using implants. Breast augmentation is performed for a number of reasons varying from patient to patient, some cosmetic and some medical.

The breast implants used are either a silicone rubber shell filled with either medical grade silicone gel or a salt-water solution known as saline.


Breast Augmentation Surgery Procedure

The method of inserting and positioning your implant will depend on your preferences, anatomy and your surgeon's recommendation. However the implant is normally inserted through an incision made in the natural crease beneath the breast. It is also possible to make the incision in the armpit or around the edge of the areola. The incisions are then closed by using fine, dissolving sutures which will also be taped for better support.

How long does breast surgery take?
Breast augmentation surgery is an operation that usually takes 1.5 hours to complete using a general anaesthetic and normally includes an overnight stay at the hospital. In certain circumstances it can be performed as a day case.

Recovery after Breast Surgery


What will happen in the recovery period?
You will feel tired and sore for a few days and will have slight swelling and bruising, which is only natural after a surgical procedure. Most of your discomfort will subside with prescription medication.

Following the operation you will have a light dressing in place which will need to be kept dry for 2 weeks. After 2 weeks your dressing will be removed and the wound inspected and lightly cleaned.


The scars will be firm and pink for at least six weeks and may remain the same size for several months - it is important to keep in mind that they may take up to 2 years to fade.

You will have follow-up visits in the months after cosmetic breast enlargement surgery to check on your progress.

Although you can walk about and do very light activities from the next day, it is advisable not to do anything strenuous for 7-10 days. The average recovery time is between 1-2 weeks.
