Breast augmentation is one of the surgical procedures offered by nadara clinic for Dermatology, Cosmetic and Laser in Hurghada.

Women feel more confident having this type of operation, but for some it is part of breast reconstruction due to various medical conditions.

Let us know in this article the reasons for choosing breast augmentation, and how it is done? What are the potential risks when performing it?

What are breast augmentation surgeries?

Breast augmentation surgeries are surgeries to increase breast size and involve placing implants under breast tissue or chest muscles.

There are types of breast implants and they include the following:

• saline implants

These implants are filled with a sterile saline solution, such as salt water, and the solution is kept inside a silicone elastomer sleeve.

These implants can be filled with different amounts of saline, which affects the feel, firmness and shape of the breast.

If saline is leaked, it is absorbed by the body and excreted naturally.

• Gel-filled silicone implants

It consists of a silicone outer sheath that is also filled with silicone gel. If the implant leaks, the gel will either remain in the sheath or go into the breast implant pocket.

The leaky silicone-filled implant may or may not collapse.

So when you choose this type of surgery, the plastic surgeon at nadara clinic for Dermatology, Cosmetic and Laser in Hurghada asks you for some tests.

These tests include an MRI or ultrasound scan to check the condition of the implants.

• Combined implants

Alternative composite implants containing Polypropylene, soybean oil, or some other substance.

• Stable breast implants

These implants hold their shape even if they break. They are made of thick silicone gel, and this type is stronger than traditional implants.

However, these implants require a longer incision in the skin.

• Round breast implants

 These implants make the breast appear fuller, because they are round and fill the entire breast, and they maintain the appearance of the breast if it is rotated out of place.

• Soft breast implants

This type is the softest of the different types of implants, and it usually makes the movement of the breast appear more natural than other augmentations.

• Tight breast implants

These implants create scar tissue to adhere to the implant, making it less likely to move within the breast.

Breast augmentation by fat transfer

Instructions before breast augmentation operations

The plastic surgeon performs a thorough physical exam, asking about the most important medications you're taking, as well as if you have any illnesses.

You may be asked to:

• blood test.
• Quit Smoking.
• Avoid certain types of foods or drinks.
• Avoid taking aspirin and some anti-inflammatory medications, as they can increase bleeding.

It is very important to follow any instructions given to you by your surgeon at nadara Dermatology, Cosmetic and Laser Center in Hurghada before your surgery.

This will help the breast augmentation operations to be performed more smoothly and you will reach the point of full recovery correctly.

Operation steps

 The process takes between 60 and 90 minutes and includes several steps, namely:

• Anesthesia

The case is under general anaesthesia.

• slit

This step can be done in one of the following ways:

• Through the crease under the breast (known as the inframammary fold).
• Along the edge of the areola (the fissure around the cortex).
• across the armpit.

• Insertion of the implant

The doctor separates the breast tissue from the muscle and connective tissue in the chest, creating a pocket-like space, and then inserts the implant.

There are two different ways to insert the implant:

• Under the breast tissue and in front of the muscle.
• Behind the breast muscle (pectoral muscle).

The placement of the implants depends on several factors including: the type of implant you choose, and how much your breasts have increased in size.

• incision closure

After the implants have been placed, the doctor closes the incision sites by sewing them together, to seal them tightly, and may place tubes to drain any fluid that may form.

The breast is covered with a bandage, and the patient wears a bra, for additional support.
