Breas-t Augmentation

If you wish to reform, increase or improve the size of your breas-ts and also restore a perfectly balanced figure, then breas-t augmentation surgery at Dadu Medical Centre located in Delhi, Vasant Vihar (South Delhi), Rajouri Garden (West Delhi) is a cosmetic surgical procedure designed to meet your needs. This surgery is done by using implants or by transferring fat from one’s own body to the treated area. In the first case, the procedure involves placing breas-t implants under the breas-t tissue or chest muscles. 

Most women opt for this procedure to feel confident and achieve a more proportionate body figure. Once you opt for the surgery, our visiting surgeons prepare you for the procedure by discussing your preferences like size, the appearance of the breas-t etc. and existing issues in detail. They also discuss with you the options available after a thorough examination and understanding your medical history, if any.

The Procedure 
A breas-t implant surgery in Delhi, Vasant Vihar (South Delhi), Rajouri Garden (West Delhi) is performed by expert surgeons who follow this simple procedure:

• The surgeon will make an incision and create a pocket underneath the breas-t tissue to make space for the implant.
• The implants are placed and the incision is closed using absorbable sutures (in most cases).

There are different types of incisions that are made to successfully place the implants like:

1. Inframammary: Incision made in the breas-t crease underneath the breas-t.
2. Transaxillary: Incision made near the armpit
3. Periareolar: Incision made around the black area covering the nipple
4. Transumbilical: Incision made in the belly button/navel (only for Saline implants)

Types of Breas-t Implants
Depending on your medical history, body, and expectation from breas-t implant surgery, you can choose from the following different kinds of implants:

1. Silicone Breas-t Implants – Pre-filled with soft silicone gel, silicone breas-t implants are the most commonly used breas-t implants around the world. 
2. “Gummy Bear” Silicone Implants – Pre-filled with cohesive gel, these implants are more stable and firmer than soft silicone implants. They may require a longer incision as compared to saline implants. These are also known as ‘teardrop implants’ because of its shape.
3. Saline Breas-t Implants – These are sterile salt water filled implants. They may be inflated after the implant is placed. Thus the incision made is smaller as compared to other implants.  

However, the USFDA has approved the usage of silicone implants for breas-t enhancement surgeries. But, it is important for women to know that although these implants are long-lasting, they need to get replaced after some time. 

Breas-t Augmentation with fat transfer:
A virtually scar-less technique, breas-t augmentation by transferring fat from one’s own body involves harvesting of fat from the thigh, abdomen or the buttock. Fat harvested is transferred using liposuction and injected at different areas of the breas-t. However, it is a fairly new method and currently in its evolution phase. A breas-t lift may be combined with any of these procedures in cases of droopy volume-less breas-ts. 

Post Treatment Care:

• You are advised to wear a support bra just after the procedure for at least a period spanning 4-6 weeks.
• You will experience stretching and pain initially because the breas-t tissue stretches during implant placement.
• The breas-ts may become touch-sensitive and may get red and swollen. However, it all returns back to normal in a couple of days.
• You are not supposed to exert yourself for a couple of weeks. So, keeping a watch on your physical activities is crucial.
• Intimacy with partner shall be guided by your recovery.
• In the long term, periodic checkups and consultation with your surgeon every few years have to be maintained.

Breas-t augmentation surgery in Delhi not only helps you change your cup size but also help you regain the lost confidence and self-esteem associated with disproportionate body type. At the same time, you must know that your expectations from the surgery should be real and not imaginary. Also, breas-ts tend to age and implants need to be corrected with repeated mammograms even after years.

Breast Augmentation Surgery in Delhi- Understanding Your Options and What to Expect

For many women, the decision to consider breast augmentation surgery in Delhi is not about chasing a trend or trying to look like someone else. It is about feeling proportionate in their own body, regaining confidence after changes that came with pregnancy or significant weight loss, or simply correcting something that has bothered them for years. Whatever the reason, this is one of the most performed cosmetic surgical procedures in the world and for good reason when done well, the results feel natural, look balanced, and can genuinely change how a woman feels about herself every single day. At Dadu Medical Centre, a trusted plastic surgery clinic in Delhi with locations in Vasant Vihar and Rajouri Garden, Dr. Nivedita Dadu and her team of board certified surgeons offer breast augmentation using both implants and fat transfer, with a strong focus on natural proportion and results that suit each woman's individual frame.

The procedure involves either placing implants beneath the breast tissue or chest muscle to increase size and improve shape, or using fat harvested from another part of the patient's own body and transferring it into the breast. Both approaches have their place and the right one depends on how much volume the patient wants, what their current breast tissue is like, and what their overall goals are. During the consultation at the clinic in Delhi, the surgeon will assess the patient's body frame, existing breast tissue, skin quality, and expectations before recommending which approach makes more sense.

When implants are used, there are several types to choose from. Silicone implants are the most widely used around the world and come pre-filled with a soft silicone gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. Cohesive gel implants, sometimes called gummy bear implants, are firmer and more stable than standard silicone ones. They hold their shape very well and are available in a teardrop profile for a more natural slope from top to bottom, though they typically need a slightly longer incision to place. Saline implants are filled with sterile salt water after placement, which means they can go in through a smaller incision, though they generally feel less natural than silicone to the touch. The FDA has approved silicone implants for breast augmentation and they remain the most commonly recommended option at Dadu Medical Centre for their natural look and feel.

The incision for implant placement can be made in one of a few locations depending on what the surgeon and patient agree on. The most common is the inframammary incision, placed in the natural crease underneath the breast where it is well hidden. An incision near the armpit, called a transaxillary approach, leaves no scar on the breast itself. The periareolar incision is placed along the edge of the areola and blends naturally into the border of the darker skin. Each approach has specific advantages and the surgeon will recommend what is most appropriate based on implant type, patient anatomy, and desired result.

The alternative to implants is fat transfer breast augmentation. In this method, fat is removed by liposuction from an area like the thighs, abdomen, or hips and then injected carefully into the breast in multiple small amounts to add volume. Because it uses the body's own tissue, there are no foreign materials involved and the texture tends to feel very natural. The main thing to understand about this approach is that some of the transferred fat gets absorbed by the body in the months after the procedure, so the final settled volume may be slightly less than immediately after surgery. The fat that does survive integrates permanently. This method is best suited for patients who want a modest increase in size rather than a dramatic change, and who also want to slim down a donor area at the same time. A breast lift can be combined with either approach in cases where the breast tissue has significant drooping.

Recovery after breast augmentation is manageable for most patients. The first few days involve soreness, swelling, and a feeling of tightness in the chest as the breast tissue stretches around the implants or adjusts to the new volume. A supportive bra needs to be worn consistently for four to six weeks after surgery. Most patients find that the discomfort is well managed with the prescribed medication and starts improving quite noticeably after the first week. Numbness and sensitivity in the nipple area is common in the initial weeks and generally returns to normal over time. Strenuous activity and heavy lifting should be avoided for at least four to six weeks. Most women with desk jobs return to work within one to two weeks. The final shape of the breast settles once the implants drop into their natural position and the swelling resolves completely, which takes a few weeks to a couple of months.

Long term, patients should know that implants are designed to last many years but are not necessarily lifetime devices. Periodic check ups are advisable and in some cases implants may need to be replaced or adjusted many years down the line. Patients who have implants are also recommended to continue with regular mammograms as they normally would. At Dadu Medical Centre, the doctors in Delhi always ensure patients have a thorough understanding of what to expect both immediately and in the long run before moving forward with breast augmentation treatment in Delhi.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How long do breast implants last?
A. Implants are designed to be long lasting but are not necessarily a lifetime device. Many women keep their implants for 10 to 20 years or longer without any issues, though periodic check ups are recommended.

Q. Will breast augmentation affect breastfeeding in the future?
A. In most cases breastfeeding ability is preserved. The incision placement and implant position are planned to minimise interference with milk ducts, though the surgeon will discuss this in detail based on the specific technique planned.

Q. Is the surgery painful?
A. The procedure is done under general anesthesia so there is no pain during it. Soreness and tightness in the first week are normal and managed well with medication prescribed by the doctors in Delhi.

Q. Will the implants look and feel natural?
A. Yes, when sized and placed appropriately for the patient's frame, silicone implants in particular feel close to natural breast tissue. The goal at Dadu Medical Centre is always a proportionate and natural looking result.

Q. Can fat transfer give the same result as implants?
A. Fat transfer gives a softer, more subtle increase and is best for modest volume enhancement. For significant size increase, implants are generally the more reliable choice.

Q. How soon can I go back to work after breast augmentation?
A. Most women with desk jobs return to work within one to two weeks. Those with physically demanding roles may need four to six weeks before returning.

Q. Will there be visible scars after the surgery?
A. Scars from implant placement are placed in discreet locations, either under the breast in the natural crease, near the armpit, or along the areola border. They fade over several months and are rarely noticeable.

Q. Can breast augmentation be combined with a breast lift?
A. Yes and it is quite commonly done together when the breast is both deflated and drooping. The surgeon will assess whether a lift is needed alongside augmentation during the consultation.

Q. Is the result of breast augmentation permanent?
A. The volume change is long lasting. However, implants may need to be replaced or adjusted over time and the natural breast tissue continues to age, so some changes can occur over many years.

Q. Why get breast augmentation treatment in Delhi at Dadu Medical Centre?
A. Dr. Nivedita Dadu and the team of experienced doctors in Delhi at Dadu Medical Centre focus on natural proportion, careful implant selection, and personalised planning so every patient gets a result that genuinely suits her body and feels like her own.
