A Closer Look at Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that involves the insertion of a modern implant to increase the size and fullness of your breasts. We recognise that breast size, breast shape and cup size are deeply personal matters, and the goal is to empower you to make choices that are right for you.

Hypomastia: Understanding Small Breasts

The term hypomastia refers to the condition of having small breasts. However, there is no universal “normal” breast size and breast shape is as unique as you. We believe that you’re thoughts and feelings about your breasts should be guided by your own perception of beauty because your opinions form your personal confidence.

What Influences Breast Size?

While genetics play a significant role in determining breast size, other factors can also contribute to smaller breasts. Conditions like amastia, a rare condition leading to significantly under-developed breasts often accompanied by an absence of the nipple, can be a contributing factor. Additionally, fluctuations in weight and the effects of breastfeeding can lead to a loss of breast volume.

Living with smaller breasts can sometimes impact a woman’s self-esteem and result in both physical and emotional challenges related to body confidence and personal relationships.

TREATMENT FAQ

What is breast augmentation surgery, and how is it done?

Breast augmentation, also known as breast enlargement surgery or Boob Job, is a procedure that enhances the size and shape of the breasts. It is typically done by inserting breast implants, which can be filled with either saline or silicone gel. Your cosmetic surgeon places these implants either under the chest wall muscle (submuscular) or behind the breast muscle tissue (subglandular) to achieve the desired results.

What are the differences between saline implants and silicone implants?

The difference between the two common types of breast implant is that Saline implants are filled with sterile saltwater solution and tend to have a firmer feel. Silicone implants, on the other hand, closely resemble the texture of natural breast tissue and often provide a more natural shape, appearance and feel. The choice between implant brands depends on your preferences and your specialist surgeon’s specific cosmetic surgery service.

Will breast augmentation leave noticeable scars?

While breast augmentation does involve incisions, your surgeon will strategically place them to minimise the appearance of scars. Incision options include inframammary (in the breast crease), periareolar (around the nipple), or transaxillary (in the armpit). The extent of scarring varies depending on the chosen incision type.

Can breast augmentation correct breast asymmetry?

Yes, breast augmentation is an effective solution for correcting breast asymmetry. Mr Marando will identify and use different-sized implants (saline implants or silicone implants) to achieve a balanced and symmetrical appearance correcting the existing asymmetrical breasts.

What are the common risk factors associated with breast augmentation?

Common risks include infection, bleeding, and implant displacement. Additionally, from patient to patient, you may experience changes in nipple sensation, capsular contracture (scar tissue formation around the implant), and implant rupture. During your consultation, your surgeon will discuss these risks in detail and provide guidance on minimising them

How long is the recovery process after a breast enhancement procedure?

Most patients can return to normal daily activities within a few weeks after breast augmentation. However, it may take some patients several months for the breasts to settle into their final position and for any swelling to subside completely so doing less strenuous activities is advised.

What are anatomical implant shapes, and when are they used?

Anatomical implants, also known as teardrop-shaped implants, are designed to mimic the natural shape of the breast. They are often used in breast reconstruction surgery to achieve a more natural appearance.

What qualities should I look for in a breast augmentation surgeon?

When choosing a breast augmentation surgeon, it’s crucial to look for a specialist with extensive patient experience in breast surgery procedures. Ensure that they have a track record of achieving natural-looking results, and don’t hesitate to ask for before-and-after photos. A qualified and experienced surgeon will provide personalised guidance based on your unique goals and anatomy.

How do I determine my ideal breast size for augmentation?

Your ideal breast size should be determined through a thorough consultation with your surgeon. They will consider your body proportions, personal goals, and desired, successful outcome. You can also try on different types of implant sizes to get a better idea of how they will look and feel to meet your ideal size needs.

Is breast implant surgery a popular procedure, and how long does it take for implants to settle?

Yes, breast implant surgery is a highly popular cosmetic procedure. After this type of surgery, it can take several months for breast implants to fully settle into their desired position. During this time, your surgeon will monitor your progress and provide guidance on proper patient care and any necessary adjustments.

Are stretch marks a common concern after breast enhancement surgery?

After breast enhancement surgery, stretch marks are generally a low-risk concern following breast implant surgery. The skin envelope surrounding the chest and breasts is typically elastic and can accommodate the increased volume from breast implants without significant stretching. However, individual factors, such as skin type and implant size, may play a role in the likelihood of stretch marks.

How can I address the visibility of implant rippling beneath the skin after plastic surgery?

Implant rippling can sometimes occur and become noticeable beneath the skin. To address this concern, it’s recommended to use a swimsuit or skin-friendly adhesive tape to cover the scars during the first year after surgery. Additionally, consulting with your surgeon about implant placement and type may help minimise the risk of rippling. Discuss these options in your breast augmentation consultation with your surgeon.

Can breast augmentation surgery address excess skin on the breasts or is a breast lift preferred?

Breast augmentation surgery primarily aims to enhance breast size and shape through the range of implants. While it can have some positive effects on skin tightness, particularly if the skin has reasonable elasticity, it may not be the ideal solution for addressing substantial excess skin concerns. In situations where skin elasticity is a significant issue and there is a need to correct sagging or drooping breasts, a breast lift (mastopexy) procedure may be recommended. This can be performed alone or in conjunction with breast augmentation & lift to achieve the desired, successful outcomes effectively.

Can breast augmentation use natural tissue for a more natural look and feel?

Breast augmentation mainly involves breast implants, but, if the patient has the right indication and some unwanted adipose tissue, it is possible to enhance the fullness of the breast by injecting the fat removed from another area of the body (Breast Fat Grafting Fat transfer). Discuss these options in your breast augmentation consultation with Mr Marando.

How much does breast augmentation/boob job surgery cost?

The cost of your breast surgery will depend on a number of factors as well as your personal requirements. To learn more please contact the clinic at info@starclinic.co.uk
