Breast Augmentation Sydney

Breast Augmentation MammoplastyProcedure types

The specifics of your breast augmentation mammoplasty will depend on what you are aiming to achieve. The breast surgery is performed under general anaesthesia and will usually take one to two hours to complete. The duration can depend, however, on the methods used during your surgery.

Augmentation with Breast Implants

The placement of breast implants is the most commonly chosen surgical option for breast augmentation mammoplasty, as implants can really enhance the size and shape of the breasts. Your surgeon Dr Bish will make a careful incision under the breast (infra-mammary fold) and create a custom dual plane breast pocket to accommodate your chosen implant. Patients can choose their implant size, shape, texture, and substance. The type of breast implants used will depend on your preferences and goals for surgery. Types of breast implants include:

• Round or teardrop shape –Whereas round implants create more upper-breast fullness, teardrop implants create a more natural-looking tapered shape.
• Smooth or textured – Smooth breast implants are softer than textured implants. However, textured implants are better able to attach to the surrounding breast tissue, which means they are less likely to become displaced.
• Silicone or saline – Saline breast implants are filled with sterile saltwater, unlike silicone implants which are gel-based. While both are considered reliable, silicone is often preferred, as it mimics the look and feel of natural breast tissue.

As for the size, breast implant sizes are measured in cubic centimetres (CC), and typically range from about 80 CCs to 800 CCs. Your surgeon can help you choose the right size by discussing your aesthetic goals during your consultation.

Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation Mammoplasty

Another popular method of breast augmentation mammoplasty is fat transfer. Also called fat grafting, this breast augmentation mammoplasty technique involves removing fat from other areas of the body, such as the stomach, hips, and thighs. The fat is then purified and carefully injected into the breasts to create the desired shape and fullness.

This method can be an ideal option for women who want to achieve a more subtle and natural-looking breast enhancement. Fat transfer can also be combined with breast implants to create further augmentation or make aesthetic adjustments.

Breast Augmentation Mammoplasty Revision

Some women who have undergone breast procedures in the past may wish to undergo breast augmentation mammoplasty revision (also called implant replacement). If you are unhappy with your current breast implants or are experiencing an adverse complication, this procedure allows you to replace your old implants with new ones.

Breast Augmentation Mammoplasty After your procedure

After the procedure, your breast augmentation mammoplasty surgeon (Dr Bish) will meticulously close and tape your incisions. You should arrange for someone to drive you home, and organise to take some time off work well ahead of your procedure date so that you can be prepared for your recovery process. It is common for breasts to feel tender and swollen after surgery, but this should subside over the course of your recovery. Dr Bish will give you customised aftercare instructions to help you care for your breasts and optimise the healing process. For example, you will need to:

• Wear a compression medical bra
• Take appropriate care of your incisions
• Avoid physical activities and exercise
• Sleep on your back with your upper body elevated
• Take prescribed oral pain medication and antibiotics
• Refrain from smoking and alcoholic drinks
• Stay hydrated and maintain a healthy diet
• Get someone to help you with daily tasks
• Take time to rest and recover

Following your aftercare instructions will help your body heal properly and allow your breasts to settle into their new shape. You will then be able to enjoy the results of your breast enhancement (mammoplasty).

Your recovery instructions will also be personalised, tailored to the specific details of your procedure and taking your personal needs and any lifestyle factors into consideration. You can receive these individualised instructions during your consultation.
