Breast augmentation is a cosmetic plastic surgery that adds shape and fullness to the breasts to produce an aesthetic result using breast implants or the fat grafting technique.

Dr. Karishma Kagodu, MS, M CH., a board-certified plastic surgeon and Managing Director of Kaesthetics, also contributing to Kinder women's hospital, Whitefield, in Bangalore. Dr. Kagodu noted that breast augmentation could enhance one's breasts or address abnormalities/asymmetry caused by cancer, trauma, or injury.

Note: Breast augmentation uses implants (silicone or saline) to achieve the desired contour. Thus, augmentation is a procedure for desired enhancement while implants are the mechanism used. Each relies on the other to deliver results.

Breast augmentations should be performed by a board-certified plastic surgeon who has ample experience with the procedure. If you are interested in breast augmentation, schedule a consultation with a board-certified plastic surgeon.

What are breast implants?

A breast implant is a prosthesis used to change a person's breasts' shape, size, and contour. In reconstructive plastic surgery, breast implants restore a natural-looking breast after a lumpectomy, mastectomy, radiation, or trauma. In addition, breast augmentation helps correct congenital defects and chest wall deformities, like Poland's syndrome.

Breast implants come in two types: silicone and saline.

1.    Silicone breast implants: Silicone implants are most commonly used today. They provide a more natural feel and aesthetic look. Silicone implants have lower capsular contraction rates. Silicone implants are far safer today than they were years ago. However, a silicone implant doesn't deflate immediately if a leak occurs. Thus, routine follow-ups are required to monitor that the implant is intact.

2.    Saline breast implants: Saline implants are known for providing a uniform shape and feel. A leak can immediately be detected with saline implants because the fluid will rush out, and the body will absorb it. Saline is an excellent solution for women with uneven breasts or those striving for better symmetry.

Fat transfer/fat grafting in the breasts:

Fat can be used to perform breast augmentation. Fat transfer to the breasts is suitable for those looking for a relatively small increase in breast size. Fat transfer breast augmentation uses liposuction to remove fat from one part of the body and transfer it to another part of the body. This ultimately enhances the breast's appearance, size, and shape.

You can undergo fat transfer to the breasts if you meet the following criteria:

·       You must have enough fat to harvest and transfer.

·       Women with asymmetrical breasts or depressions in the breasts.

·       You have good general health and no problems with circulation.
