A breast enlargement procedure, or augmentation mammoplasty in medical terms, is a cosmetic surgical procedure for women to proportionately enhance their body contours. This type of surgery can also assist with breast reconstruction solutions for women who went through a medical breast procedure. Finally, the surgery can correct a size imbalance between the breasts.
The breast enlargement procedure itself consists of inserting silicone implants behind each breast to add volume, bust, and size to the breasts. Therefore, you can expect at least 1 cup size increase to enhance the contours of your body. Centurion Cosmetic Clinic is your answer when it comes to cosmetic breast surgery in Gauteng.
The Procedure
The surgeon will make an incision in the crease where the breast and the chest meet, hiding the scars from plain sight. From here, the surgeon will insert and position the silicone implants to ensure that they are perfectly placed. Your surgeon can either insert the implants underneath the breast tissue or beneath the chest wall muscle.
The Recovery
The first couple of days after your surgery, you can expect some pain and discomfort. Your surgeon will prescribe some medication to deal with pain while your body is recovering from surgery. It is important to use the prescribed painkillers during your recovery, as over-the-counter painkillers can alter blood coagulation in your body, which can have a negative influence on how your body recovers from the surgery.
If you are a smoker, you must refrain from smoking for at least 2 months before and after the surgery. This will optimise oxygen flow in your body, assisting the healing process on a cellular level. You can expect the swelling to subside after about 3 to 5 weeks. You might have to wear a sports-bra during recovery as well, dependent on your surgeon’s recommendations.
