Benefits of Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation can help to improve a woman’s self-esteem and confidence. Many women feel insecure about the size or shape of their breasts, and breast augmentation can provide them with the desired fuller and more proportionate breasts they have always wanted. This surgical procedure often leads to increased body satisfaction and improved overall body image.
Breast augmentation can restore symmetry for individuals with uneven or asymmetrical breasts. Asymmetrical breasts are a common concern for many women, as unequal breast sizes can make finding clothes that fit correctly or achieve a balanced look challenging. By achieving symmetry through breast augmentation, patients can enjoy more options regarding clothing choices and feel more comfortable in their skin.
Breast augmentation not only enhances physical appearance but also brings about significant improvements in self-esteem, body image, and quality of life for women seeking this procedure. Aesthera Plastic Surgery ensures exceptional care throughout the process, helping patients attain their aesthetic goals while ensuring successful outcomes and exceeding expectations.
Choosing the Right Implant: Saline vs. Silicone
When considering breast augmentation, one of the most critical decisions is choosing the right type of implant. Saline and silicone implants are available, each with advantages and considerations.
Saline implants consist of a sterile water solution. They offer flexibility regarding size adjustments during surgery, which is less expensive than silicone implants. Saline implants also tend to be less costly than silicone implants. However, they may not feel as natural as silicone implants.
On the other hand, silicone implants consist of a cohesive gel that closely resembles natural breast tissue. The resemblance to biological tissue makes them more similar in texture and appearance to natural breasts. Patients looking for a softer or more natural feel often prefer silicone implants.
Ultimately, choosing between saline and silicone will depend on your preferences, desired aesthetic outcome, and consultation with your plastic surgeon at Aesthera Plastic Surgery – who will help guide you through this decision-making process while prioritizing your safety and satisfaction.
The Procedure: Step-by-Step Guide to Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation is a complex surgical procedure that requires careful planning and precise execution.
The first step in breast augmentation is a consultation with our plastic surgeon. During this initial meeting, Dr. CV Chegireddy will assess the patient’s medical history and specific aesthetic goals. He will discuss implant options, incision techniques, and potential risks or complications. Once both the patient and surgeon have agreed on the desired outcome, preoperative preparations begin. These preparations include obtaining necessary lab tests, taking medications if the surgeon prescribes them, and following recommended guidelines for optimal health before surgery.
On the day of surgery, we focus on safety and a quick recovery process by ensuring the procedure is performed in a hospital or an accredited ambulatory surgery center. Usually, general anesthesia is required to perform the procedure.
After administering general anesthesia, the surgeon will make small incisions around the outside of the areola or under the breast. The choice of incision placement depends on factors like implant type, size, soft tissue quality, nipple position and patient preference. Precisely placed incisions are used for access to place the implant using no touch technique to prevent infection and breast capsular contracture.
Recovery and Healing: Taking Care of Your New Breasts
Recovery and healing after breast augmentation surgery are crucial to achieving beautiful, fuller breasts. Patients must properly care for their new breasts to ensure optimal results and minimize risks or complications. Aesthera Plastic Surgery understands the significance of this post-operative phase and offers comprehensive guidance on managing recovery and promoting healing effectively.
Following breast augmentation surgery, patients must prioritize rest and give themselves time to heal. The body needs sufficient time to recover from the surgical procedure, allowing tissues to settle into new positions. Keeping incisions clean and dry can help prevent infection and facilitate smooth healing.
Additionally, supporting the breasts during recovery is vital in reducing discomfort and promoting better outcomes. Wearing a supportive bra recommended by our surgeon helps reduce swelling, provides stability for implant positioning, and aids in minimizing pain.
At Aesthera Plastic Surgery, we emphasize regular follow-up visits during the healing process. Follow-up visits allow us to monitor progress closely while addressing any concerns you may have promptly. Our dedication lies in delivering exceptional results and ensuring emotional well-being and safety throughout your breast augmentation journey.

Are breast implants safe?
Yes, the FDA approves both saline and silicone implants as safe for use. When placed by a qualified and experienced plastic surgeon, these implants are considered safe.
What should I expect right after surgery?
Patients experience discomfort and swelling immediately following surgery, which subsides within a few days to weeks. While individual recovery times vary, most patients can resume light activities within a week or two and return to regular exercise routines after six weeks.
It's crucial for individuals considering breast augmentation to consult with an Aesthera plastic surgeon who can provide personalized answers about their circumstances and desired outcomes.
Can breast implants cause breast cancer?
Recently, there has been evidence that textured implants can lead to Breast Implant-Associated Anaplastic Large Cell Lymphoma (BIA-ALCL). The current lifetime risk in patients with textured implants is estimated to be 1:2,207-1:86,029. Textured implants are no longer being used and only safe smooth round implants are used for breast augmentation. If you currently have textured implants and want to learn more, schedule a consultation with us at Aesthera Plastic Surgery.
Will I be able to breast feed after breast augmentation?
There is no scientific data suggesting that placing breast implant will affect breast feeding directly. The ability to breast feed varies with each patient due to number of reasons. If you are currently breast feeding or anticipating being pregnant in the future, Dr. CV Chegireddy will review the risks of breast augmentation in women who are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed.
Is the implant placed over or under the muscle?
Placing the implant over or under the pectoralis muscle depends on number of factors like soft tissue quality, nipple position, patient lifestyle, previous breast surgery and patient expectations. During your consultation with Dr. CV Chegireddy, he will go discuss the various options and recommend an individualized treatment plan.
What is hybrid breast augmentation?
This is a relatively new technique to further enhance the results of breast augmentation using your own body fat to augment and shape beautiful breasts. This can be done simultaneously at the time of implant placement.
Can I still have a mammogram with breast implants?
Breast cancer surveillance with mammogram should not be affected with breast implants. Modern imaging techniques allows the patient to get proper cancer screening without damaging the underlying implant.
