In cases of underdeveloped breasts or the breasts that have decreased in size and sagged after pregnancy, breast augmentation can be an ideal procedure. Original shape and size of breasts are genetically determined. Often small breasts lead to self-consciousness and loss of self-confidence, leading to an unhappy social life.

Before the operation, you are advised to stop smoking, stop taking all medications containing aspirin, and also stop birth control pills for 2-3 weeks.

The surgery is done under general anesthesia on an outpatient basis. The breast implant can be placed under or above the muscle through various approaches. Incisions are placed in the natural fold to minimize visibility. Implants can be saline or silicone filled of various shapes and sizes.

After breast augmenation surgery, pain medication will be advised to control pain. Sutures are removed 7-8 days after the surgery. Bra support may be advised during this time.

Breast augmentation is one of the most requested plastic surgical procedures. Most women will have some degree of asymmetry between their breasts. It is not always possible to create exact symmetry since bony structures such as the rib cage and breastbone are rigid.

Breast augmentation can help balance the look of a woman's body, improve self-confidence, allow the clothes to fit better, and possibly lead to a happy social life.
