There are two main types of breast implants: saline implants, which are filled with sterile saltwater, and silicone implants, which are filled with silicone gel.

Risks and complications may include infection, bleeding, changes in nipple sensation, implant rupture or leakage, capsular contracture, and adverse reactions to anesthesia.

The duration of breast augmentation surgery varies depending on factors such as the surgical technique used and whether additional procedures are performed but typically ranges from one to two hours.

The recovery process involves wearing a surgical bra, managing discomfort with pain medication, avoiding strenuous activities for several weeks, attending follow-up appointments, and following postoperative instructions provided by the surgeon.

Yes, breast augmentation surgery leaves scars, but they are typically well-hidden and fade over time. The location and extent of scarring depend on factors such as the incision technique used and individual healing factors.

While breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, they are designed to be long-lasting. However, factors such as implant type, lifestyle, and aging may affect the longevity of implants.

Yes, breast augmentation surgery can help improve breast asymmetry by adding volume to one breast to achieve better symmetry with the other.

While temporary changes in nipple sensation are common after breast augmentation surgery, permanent loss of sensation is rare. The sensation may gradually return over time as the nerves heal.

Many women can breastfeed after breast augmentation surgery, but it may depend on factors such as the surgical technique used and individual anatomy. It's advisable to discuss this with your surgeon before the procedure.

The choice of implant size depends on factors such as your body frame, breast anatomy, desired outcome, and surgeon's recommendations. Your surgeon can help you select implants that are proportionate to your body.

When performed by a skilled surgeon using appropriate techniques and implants, breast augmentation surgery can achieve natural-looking and feeling results that are in harmony with your body proportions.

Breast implants may affect the visibility of breast tissue on mammograms, so it's important to inform the radiologist about the presence of implants. Additional imaging techniques may be recommended for more accurate screening.

While rare, breast implants can rupture or leak over time due to factors such as trauma, aging, or manufacturing defects. Regular monitoring and follow-up with your surgeon are important to detect any issues early.

Discomfort during and after breast augmentation surgery is common but can be managed with pain medication prescribed by your surgeon. Most patients find that discomfort improves significantly within a few days to weeks.

Yes, breast implants can be placed either above the chest muscle (subglandular) or beneath the chest muscle (submuscular), depending on factors such as your anatomy and aesthetic goals.

Common incision options for breast augmentation surgery include inframammary (under the breast crease), periareolar (around the nipple), and transaxillary (in the armpit). The choice of incision depends on factors such as implant type, desired outcome, and surgeon's recommendations.

While breast implants are not considered lifetime devices, they are designed to be long-lasting. However, factors such as aging, changes in breast tissue, and personal preference may warrant implant replacement or revision surgery in the future.

Yes, breast augmentation surgery can help improve the appearance of tuberous breasts by adding volume and reshaping the breast tissue to achieve a more rounded and balanced contour.

While some immediate enhancement is noticeable, final results may take several weeks to months as swelling subsides, implants settle into place, and tissues heal. Your surgeon can guide what to expect during the recovery process.

Breast implants may make breast self-exams slightly more challenging, but it's still important to perform regular self-exams to monitor for any changes in your breast tissue. Your surgeon can provide instructions on how to perform self-exams effectively with implants.

While breast augmentation surgery primarily focuses on increasing breast size, it may also provide some degree of lift and improvement in breast shape. However, significant breast sagging may require additional procedures such as a breast lift (mastopexy) for optimal results.

Breast implants should not significantly interfere with exercise or physical activities once you have fully healed from surgery. However, it's important to wear appropriate supportive sports bras and avoid activities that may cause trauma to the breasts.

Your surgeon may recommend making lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, avoiding certain medications and supplements, and maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine to optimize your overall health and enhance surgical outcomes.
