Breast augmentation surgery in India is an increasingly popular choice due to its affordability and high-quality care. Here’s a quick overview of key points to help you understand the procedure:
Cost
- Average Cost in India: USD $2,500 (varies by surgeon, city, and type of implants).
Benefits
- Enhances breast size and shape, restoring volume lost due to aging, weight loss, or breastfeeding.
- Boosts self-esteem by improving symmetry and overall appearance.
Types of Breast Augmentation Procedures
- Fat Transfer: Uses fat from areas like the belly or thighs, but not suitable for those with insufficient body fat. Results may be temporary.
- Breast Implants: Silicone or saline implants available in various sizes and textures. Silicone offers a natural feel, while saline is filled with sterile saltwater.
Types of Breast Implants
- Silicone Implants: Natural feel, FDA-approved.
- Saline Implants: Filled with sterile saltwater.
- Cohesive Silicone (“Gummy Bear”) Implants: Firmer, hold shape better.
- Round Implants: Enhance overall breast volume.
- Smooth/ Textured Implants: Textured implants stay in place better, smooth implants have a lower rupture rate.
Incision Options
- Inframammary: Under the breast fold.
- Periareolar: Around the nipple.
- Trans-axillary: Through the armpit.
- Transumbilical: Through the belly button.
Implant Placement
- Sub-glandular: Above the chest muscle.
- Sub-muscle: Beneath the chest muscle.
- Subpectoral: Combines both placements for a more natural look.
Post-Surgery Expectations
- Swelling, discomfort, and tenderness are normal and may last several weeks. Scars fade over time. Recovery time varies, but most return to work within weeks.
Who is a Good Candidate?
- Women who’ve lost breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss.
- Those seeking to improve breast symmetry or restore a youthful appearance.
- Must be in good mental and physical health.
Breast augmentation surgery carries risks such as pain, scarring, infection, and in rare cases, implant rupture. Always consult with a qualified surgeon to discuss options and risks based on your individual health and needs.
