Breast Enhancement Surgery

More and more women in Singapore are choosing to undergo breast enhancement surgery to improve the appearance of their breasts. Breast enhancement surgery can help women achieve a more youthful, appealing figure and boost their self-confidence.

There are a variety of breast enhancement procedures available, each with its own benefits and risks. The most common procedures are breast augmentation (or “boob job”) and breast lift.

Breast augmentation involves the insertion of silicone or saline implants into the breasts in order to enlarge them. A breast lift, on the other hand, is a procedure used to raise and reshape sagging breasts. Both procedures are relatively safe and effective when performed by a qualified plastic surgeon, but it is important to do your research before making a decision about which procedure is right for you.

It is also important to consult with several surgeons before making your final choice. The decision to undergo breast enhancement surgery is a personal one, and it is important to make sure that you are fully informed about all of your options

Breast augmentation

Breast implant surgery is a popular cosmetic procedure that involves the placement of implants underneath the breasts to create a fuller, more youthful appearance. There are many reasons why women may choose to undergo breast augmentation surgery, including dissatisfaction with their natural breast size or shape, desired increase in breast size, or reconstruction after mastectomy.

Many women opt for breast implants to improve their self-esteem and body image, correct asymmetry, or achieve a more proportionate figure. The procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia and takes approximately 1-2 hours to complete.

During the surgery, the incisions will be made either in the crease beneath the breast, around the areola (the dark area around the nipple), or in the armpit. There are two main types of breast implants: saline and silicone gel.

Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water, while silicone gel implants are filled with silicone gel. Both types of implants have a silicone outer shell. After the implants have been inserted, the incisions will be closed with sutures.

The surgery itself is relatively simple and can be performed under local anesthesia. Recovery from the surgery is usually fairly quick, with most women able to return to their normal activities within a few days.

There are some risks involved with any type of surgery, but these are typically minor and can be easily managed by your surgeon. Following your surgeon’s instructions for post-operative care is essential for a successful recovery.

It is important to rest and avoid strenuous activity for at least 1 week following surgery. Additionally, you will need to wear a special support bra during this time. There will be some swelling and bruising after surgery, but this should resolve within 2-3 weeks. Recovery times vary from patient to patient, but most women feel well enough to return to work and other normal activities within 1-2 weeks.

There are several risks associated with breast implant surgery, including capsular contracture, infection, and rupture of the implants. Be sure to discuss these risks with your surgeon prior to surgery so that you’re fully informed about what to expect during and after your procedure.

You can help reduce your risk of complications by choosing a qualified plastic surgeon who has experience performing breast implant surgery. Also, be sure to follow all of your surgeon’s pre-operative and post-operative instructions carefully.

If you are considering breast augmentation surgery, be sure to consult with a qualified surgeon who can answer all of your questions and help you make an informed decision.

 

Breast lift

Breast lift surgery, or mastopexy, is a way to raise and reshape sagging breasts. It can also reduce the size of areolas and the dark skin around nipples. Usually, it doesn’t change breast size. It can be combined with breast implants to increase breast size or with breast reduction surgery to reduce breast size.

The goal of breast lift surgery is to improve the shape and position of the breasts. It can be an excellent option for women who have drooping or saggy breasts, are unhappy with the size or shape of their breasts, or have nipples that point downward. This procedure is often done for cosmetic reasons. It can also help improve your self-image and sense of well-being. Breast lift surgery may be covered by insurance if it is done to alleviate pain or correct a functional problem.

Breast lift surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia. The incisions for breast lift surgery will depend on the extent of the correction that is needed. It usually takes two to three hours to complete, depending on the extent of the procedure.

During breast lift surgery, the surgeon will make an incision in one of several patterns: around the areola, in a circle around the areola and vertically down from the areola to the crease beneath your breast (a “keyhole” or “lollipop” incision), or horizontally along your breast crease (an “anchor” incision).

The specific incision pattern will depend on your anatomy and desired results. The surgeon will then separate your breast tissue from the overlying skin and reposition your nipple and areola higher on your breast. Excess skin will be removed and the remaining skin will be tightened and closed with dissolvable stitches. A surgical bra will be placed over your breasts to support them as they heal.

You will likely feel some pain and discomfort after breast lift surgery, which can be managed with medication and subside over time. Your breasts will also be bruised and swollen for some time after surgery. You should expect to take at least one week off from work to recover. Continue to wear the surgical bra for support as you heal.

Recovery times vary from person to person; however, most people feel back to their old selves within two months of surgery. You should be able to walk and care for yourself soon after surgery. However, you should avoid lifting anything heavy or strenuous activity for at least six weeks after surgery.

Following the following recovery tips will help you heal quickly and avoid complications:

– Sleep on your back with pillows propping up your chest for at least a week

– Wear a sports bra day and night for at least six weeks

– Avoid strenuous activity for at least three weeks

– Limit sun exposure on incisions until they have healed

– Don’t smoke; nicotine interferes with healing

There are some risks associated with any surgical procedure, including infection, bleeding, blood clots, and adverse reactions to anesthesia. Other risks include asymmetry, scarring, and changes in sensation in the breasts.

Nipple sensation may be decreased or lost permanently; changes in nipple and breast sensation are more common if you have had large amounts of tissue removed. Be sure to discuss these risks with your surgeon prior to having the surgery so that you can make an informed decision about whether this procedure is right for you.

Breastfeeding may not be possible after a breast lift because milk ducts and nerve endings have been cut during surgery. If you plan to breastfeed, discuss this with your surgeon before having a breast lift surgery. You might also need additional surgeries as time goes on to correct or improve the results of breast lift surgery.

Breast lift surgery is a safe and effective way to improve the appearance of your breasts. If you are considering undergoing one, be sure to consult with an experienced plastic surgeon who has done it numerous times before. During your consultation, your surgeon will assess your individual goals and determine whether it is right for you. Not all surgeons are created equal so choose wisely.

Summary

Breast enhancement surgery is one of the most popular types of plastic surgery. There are two main procedures: breast lift and breast augmentation. Both surgeries have benefits and risks, which you should discuss with your surgeon before making a decision. Breast augmentation increases the size of the breasts, while breast lift raises and firms them. Some common risks associated with both surgeries include scarring, infection, and bleeding. However, the benefits of these procedures can be significant.

Breast augmentation can improve self-esteem and body image, while breast lift can correct sagging breasts and give you a more youthful appearance. If you are considering undergoing either type of surgery, make sure to do your research and choose a qualified surgeon who will help you achieve your goals safely and effectively.
