The main goal of the breast augmentation procedure is to increase the size of the breasts. Women have cosmetic and medical reasons for having breast augmentation. Some women only want bigger breasts for aesthetic reasons. Some other women consider breast augmentation after a mastectomy, pregnancy, or nursing.

Breast augmentation is a very common surgical procedure that is done to increase the size of the breasts. The breast can be augmented either using breast implants or carrying out a fat transfer. One of these two categories is suggested by the surgeon depending on how you want your breast to look and feel.

In this article, we mention what a breast augmentation surgical procedure is and who is a good candidate for breast augmentation surgery. You will also read about the subjects such as how breast augmentation is performed, how long a breast augmentation procedure takes, and the recovery period.

Breast augmentation is a surgical procedure that usually lasts about one and a half hours. Before having breast augmentation you should learn as many details as possible to avoid disappointment after the surgery. There are certain things a breast augmentation can do or not. For instance, breast augmentation does not last a lifetime. Mammograms might be more difficult after having breast augmentation. Breast implants won’t prevent your breast from sagging.

The good news, an average life-cycle of a breast augmentation is about ten years which gains you a lot of time to decide on a reoperation. During that time you should visit your surgeon regularly to make sure about the condition and placement of your breast implants.

A plastic surgeon will decide if you are a good candidate for breast augmentation surgery. Taking a decision, the surgeon has some criteria. Before this, you should know that if you are pregnant or breastfeeding or have breast cancer or an abnormal mammogram, your breast surgery should be postponed. Also, the same goes for you, if you are ill, battling with an infection, and have unrealistic expectations from a breast augmentation surgery.

You may be considered a natural candidate if;

• You are in good health,
• You do not smoke and do not consume much alcohol
• You can work as a team with the medical staff 
• You have realistic expectations from the results of the procedure
• You can understand the risks and the benefits at the same time
• You consider the recovery period as important as the operation itself

The first thing you should know about a breast augmentation surgical procedure is that it is done under general anesthesia. That means you will be in deep sleep, and feel nothing during the breast augmentation procedure. 

The surgeon will do some incisions around your breasts, for instance, along the edge of your areola or via your armit or crease under your breast.

The implants can be inserted by the surgeon in two ways. There are two different ways the implants are inserted by the surgeon. The first one is to insert them under your breast tissue and in front of your muscle. The second one is to insert them behind your breast muscle. The placement of implants depends on some different factors. For instance, how much you want your breast to be increased and the implant type you want to be placed. 

Breast implants are the most common type of breast augmentation and you have several options, if you consider a breast augmentation.

There are seven different types of breast implants surgeons utilize during the breast implant procedure.

• Saline Breast Implants: Implants are filled with sterile saline which is salt water. If the implants were to break, your body absorb the saline and get rid of them.

• Structure Saline Breast Implants: Structure saline implants contain salt water and have an inner structure to make them more natural.

• Silicone Breast Implants: Silicone breast implants contain silicone and make you feel more natural tissue.

• Form-stable Breast Implants: Form-stable breast implants are also known as gummy bear breast implants. They contain thicker silicone.

• Round Breast Implants: Round breast implants make breasts look fuller than other implants.

Smooth Breast Implants and textured breast implants are among the breast implant types.

A breast augmentation surgery that utilizes breast implants usually takes 60 to 90 minutes. You can go home the same day, but you may need to stay at the hospital one night for the following day's procedure. You will take some pain relievers if you feel any discomfort after the surgery. However, sometimes the surgery takes longer depending on the factors like location of the incision, the type of anesthesia used, and the type of implants you prefer.

You will have regular visits to the medical center where you have breast augmentation, before and after the procedure of breast enlargement.

The breast augmentation operation is done under general anesthesia. After the surgery, you will be taken to an observation room while you wake up from the surgery.
