Read MoreWho Is a Good Candidate for Breast Augmentation?
You may be a good candidate for breast augmentation in Lebanon if you:
- Feel that your breasts are too small for your body.
- Have lost breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss.
- Have breast asymmetry.
- Want to improve breast fullness and shape.
- Are over 18 years old.
- Are in good general health and have realistic expectations.
Personalized Surgical Planning
Every breast augmentation procedure is tailored to the patient.
Factors considered during surgical planning include:
- Breast size and shape.
- Skin quality and elasticity.
- Chest width and body proportions.
- Implant size and profile.
- Implant placement.
- Incision location.
- The patient’s aesthetic goals.
Implants types:
There are two types of breast implants, both consisting of silicone shells but filled either with saline water or silicone gel. Both implants are reliable and safe with different advantages for each. I strongly recommend the silicon-filled implants because they are softer and feel more natural than the saline ones.
Incision types:
According to the patient’s anatomy and aspires, the incisions are made in the armpit, the breast’s natural crease or around the nipple. In all three cases, the incisions are hidden in a way to minimize scar visibility.
Once the incision is made, the implant is inserted into a pocket created to this purpose.
Implant placement types:
The implant is placed either beneath the muscle or beneath the breast. The choice of the placement type is recommended according to the characteristics of the patient’s breast.
After inserting the implants in a way to achieve a natural look, the incisions will be closed with stitches, then the chest taped and wrapped with bandages.
How Is Breast Augmentation Performed?
Breast augmentation is performed under general anesthesia and usually takes one to two hours.
The procedure may involve:
- Creating an incision in a discreet location.
- Preparing a pocket for the implant.
- Placing the implant either under the breast tissue or beneath the muscle.
- Adjusting implant position for symmetry.
- Closing the incision carefully.
Recovery After Breast Augmentation
Recovery after breast augmentation is usually straightforward.
Most patients can expect:
- Swelling and bruising during the first few days.
- Mild soreness or tightness in the chest.
- Wearing a surgical bra after surgery.
- Return to light daily activities within about one week.
- Avoidance of heavy lifting and intense exercise for several weeks.
- Gradual settling of the implants over time.
