Breast augmentation, also known as breast enlargement, is a very popular surgical procedure to alter the overall size and shape of a woman's breasts. Generally, this type of surgery is performed to correct a loss of breast volume following pregnancy, increase the size of small breasts, balance uneven breasts, or as a reconstructive procedure following a mastectomy or other breast surgery.
In order to increase the sizes of the breasts, this surgical method involves the insertion of implants into the breasts. Hence, the name breast augmentation surgery. There could also be visible enhancement of the firmness and the rotundity of the breasts, along with an increase in the size of the breasts. Always ensure that the plastic surgeon conducting the operation must be well qualified and skilful. If the cosmetic surgery goes wrong, that could cause a permanent and irreversible damage to the shape of the breasts.
The breast plastic surgeon makes an incision on the breasts in order to implant the material within the breasts. Generally, the incision is made below the breasts, from where it would not be apparent later on. After the operation, skilful surgery could make the incision almost invisible. The implants are then inserted by the plastic surgeon in a pocket-like cavity between the pectoral muscles (muscles of the chest) and the overlying tissues of the breasts very carefully. Special forceps are used to lift the cavity and insert the implants in them. The incision is closed by sutures once this is done. The best plastic surgeons in Sydney Australia normally perform these procedures in order to reduce the possibility of scars.
The material that is used for the breast implants has undergone a radical change, since the initial stages of the development of breast augmentation. Silicone was the prime implanting material that was being used in earlier times. A gel of silicone was filled within a capsule of the same material in order to implant silicone. However, the medical fraternity was very quick to find out a serious issue with silicone gel implant and the implanting material was banned in most countries.
After few years of research, now saline gel breast implants are use for breast augmentation. These contain gels of saline materials filled inside a silicone capsule. Now-a-days, silicone capsule is used in order to maintain the rigidity of the implants. On a positive end, the silicone capsule used in the saline gel implants is almost harmless to the human body. Also, the silicone capsule used can hold on better with the tissues and the muscles that make up the cavity inside the breasts, which makes the implants more firmly implanted into the breasts.
