Many women are born with a congenital breast deformity while some may not have the desired fuller breasts after childbirth, breastfeeding, weight fluctuations, or due to old age. Some women may have to undergo partial, full, or double mastectomies that can also leave behind aesthetically unpleasing breasts.
Breast augmentation, also known as augmentation mammoplasty is a cosmetic or reconstructive surgical procedure performed at Kalosa Aesthetics, best plastic surgery clinic in Delhi to enhance the breast size, shape, and symmetry of breasts. Thankfully, this most commonly requested surgery can help women achieve their desired breast contours and amplify their self-confidence. It is a bespoke procedure that can provide stunning, natural-looking results.
There are two ways to augment the breasts: autologous fat grafting and breast implants. The choice can be made between the two based on the patient’s body type and aesthetic goals. Read along if you are curious to know that how breast augmentation surgery is performed and who can benefit from it.
Ideal candidates:
Women who are in good overall health and possess realistic expectations from breast augmentation surgery are the ideal candidates. They must have the need to improve their breast shape, size, and volume. If they are currently nursing a child or are pregnant, the surgery must be postponed.
The process:
Personal consultation- It is the very first step before going for surgery. During this meeting with the plastic surgeon in Delhi/NCR at Kalosa Aesthetics, talks with patient about their medical history, aesthetic goals and expectations, and any other information regarding the current intake of medications or previous breast surgeries. The surgeon also explains to the patient the options for breast augmentation including the placement, incision pattern, and implant type and size.
Preparation for breast augmentation: The patient must adhere to all the pre-surgery instructions to achieve the best results. Smokers are advised to stop smoking for a few weeks before the day of surgery. The patients must prepare at home for the recovery period and avoid intake of blood thinners.
Procedure:
For ensuring accuracy, the incision locations are marked on the breasts before beginning with the surgery. The surgery is performed under general anesthesia so that the patient feels comfortable throughout the procedure.
Breast augmentation surgery with fat grafting and implants:
Autologous Fat grafting – It is a new breast reconstruction technique wherein fat is taken from fatty body parts like thighs, belly, and buttocks by liposuction technique, processed into liquid form, and then injected in small amounts in the marked breast areas to recreate them. This does not involve any major surgery and can work effectively for thin women and in those who want to camouflage their asymmetrical breasts. But it is difficult to create a nice lower pole curve or cleavage lines with fat grafts as they do not improve breast shape. Fat grafts can only make the breasts fuller and the candidate may need multiple operations to get desired increase in the breast volume.

Breast implants – Breast augmentation using implants must ensure that the selected breast implants are conservative and of proper fit. If the chosen implant is too big for the breasts, it can cause the breast tissue and surrounding muscle to become thinner, which is hard to reverse.
The most commonly used breast implants are made of a silicone shell that is either filled with a silicone gel or a sterile saline solution. Among them, silicone implants are preferred nowadays as they are heat and trauma-resistant. They closely mimic the real breasts and even if there is a leakage, there is no collapse of the implant. However, saline implants can be used in women with a fair density of existing breast tissue to camouflage any rippling that may show. If the saline solution leaks, the body can absorb it and expel it naturally. Other miscellaneous type include cohesive gel implants with a thick and firm silicone gel which offer excellent shape retention over a long period, and are extensively used.
During the placement of the breast implants, the surgeon creates a pocket within the breasts that are either in front or behind the pectoral muscle for optimal placement and positioning of breast implants. Once the implants are inserted through the incisions, the cuts are closed with dissolvable sutures and the breasts are later bandaged and supported with a surgical upper shapewear.
