Breast enlargement surgery, also known as breast augmentation involves placing an implant behind the existing breast tissue.
During the operation, silicone implants are inserted through a small incision underneath the natural breast and then closed with sutures. A dressing is applied and left in place until your post operative consultation 7 days after the breast enlargement operation has been carried out.
Following breast enlargement surgery, a woman can engage in full sporting activity after 5 weeks. The implants used for breast enlargement surgery are a material foreign to the body and your body will naturally build a wall or capsule around the breast implants. With modern breast enlargement surgery, breast implants are so good that the degree of capsule formation following a breast enlargement operation is small and rarely presents a problem.
The majority of women do not experience this problem and can forget that they ever underwent the breast enlargement operation. In the first few weeks after breast enlargement surgery, the nipple area may be sensitive and sometimes there may be a small patch of numbness just above the scar. Such changes are invariably of a temporary nature.
Despite the potential problems outlined, the great majority of patients are very happy with their breast enlargement. They feel more self confident and enjoy wearing a wider variety of attractive clothing.
