Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentation oraugmentation mammoplasty is the procedure to reshape or make breasts larger. Breast Augmentation results in Dubai might improve your body image and self-esteem if you choose Dr Martain Loonen — the Best Cosmetic Surgeon in Dubai. There are two ways to perform Breast enhancement surgery: Breast augmentation via implants and Breast Augmentation via Fat Grafting.
Breast Augmentation via Implants
Pre-surgery
Before the surgery starts, there are a few important decisions to make that include implant types, filer, placement and shape.
Textured or smooth?
The first thing your surgeon will have to decide is whether to give you a textured implant or a smooth implant. The exterior shell of smooth implants is gleaming and slippery. The implant does not attach to the tissue surrounding the patient’s implant. Unlike smooth-surfaced implants, the surface of textured implants is rough and attaches to the surrounding tissue, preventing movement within the implant pocket.
Saline or Silicone
The next thing your surgeon will have to decide is whether you want your implants to be filled with saline or silicone. Silicone gel is a non-allergenic, non-sensitizing polymer with no documented allergies, sensitivities, or reactions in humans. The viscosity of silicone is higher than that of saline. It flows differently within its shell than saline and can often give the breast a more smooth appearance. A silicone outer shell is filled with a sterile saltwater (saline) solution and has the consistency of water. Saline-filled implants do not give the breasts that much of a natural appearance.
Round or teardrop?
Another thing your surgeon will have to choose is the implant’s shape. There are two options of breast shapes available. The options are Round implants or Teardrop implants. Round implants, as the name implies, are round or circular in shape. There are different sizes available for these implants. These implants also give your breasts greater lift and cleavage. Round implants give you a natural-looking teardrop shape and slanted appearance. Anatomical implants, which are oval in shape and have an appearance similar to a teardrop shape, are preferred by certain women. However, they use a more cohesive silicone gel that is harder than typical silicone implants. The textured casing of these implants is designed to prevent unintentional rotation.
Over the muscle or under the muscle placement?
Then your surgeon will have to decide where your breast implants should be placed. When a breast implant is placed subglandular, or “over the muscle,” it is on top of the patient’s muscles but underneath their skin, fat, and glandular tissue. Advantages of subglandular placement are that recovery after submuscular implantation is frequently less difficult. Also, because the chest muscles are unaffected, it does not cause any stiffness. In most cases, final results are reached in a matter of weeks. When a breast implant is placed Submuscular or ‘under the muscle’, it is placed beneath a person’s skin. For ladies with less native breast tissue, this is a viable option because the muscle provides more coverage. The outcomes are more natural-looking than breasts that are positioned over the muscle.
Steps of Breast Augmentation
- Anaesthesia
- Making an incision
- Placing the breast implant
- Closing the
Sub-pectoral or inframammary fold procedure
An incision is made in the fold beneath the breast for the sub-pectoral or inframammary fold operation. An inframammary incision leaves a tiny scar that is usually only 1-2 inches long. The incision is also placed in such a way that it has minimal impact on the breast’s milk-producing regions. We can even go back in through the same incision if difficulties emerge or more procedures are required. For moms or elderly people, inframammary fold incisions are the most effective. The scar from labour and ageing is usually hidden by the breast contour.
Periareolar Procedure
An incision is made around the nipple-areolar complex in a periareolar breast implant. In simple words, A periareolar incision is a surgical incision made between the breast and the nipple. The cuts are made in a circle that is filled with a thin layer of silicone (typically 3 mm thick). The scar disappears into the areola’s edge as a result of this. The incision is near the “milk-production” portion of the breast/ This procedure is mostly opted for by women with smaller breasts who do not have a fold under their breasts.
Transaxillary Procedure
When a woman has a transaxillary breast augmentation, an incision is made beneath her armpit. To assist them in completing the procedure, some surgeons will use an endoscope, which is a miniature fibre-optic camera. The breast implant is then put into the breast tissue through the incision. The transaxillary incision is popular among women because it leaves no visible scarring on the nipple. The scar in the underarm is also hidden with a transaxillary breast augmentation.
Trans Umbilical Breast Augmentation (TUBA) Procedure
In TUBA An incision is made through the belly button. An endoscope is tunnelled through the incision to a pocket beneath the breast. Then, the implant is placed through the incision. Only subglandular saline implants can be treated with TUBA. . Surgeons may have to tunnel under one of the muscles during the procedure. If difficulties arise or additional procedures are required, our Best Plastic Surgeon in Dubai will make an additional incision closer to the breast.
Breast Augmentation via Fat Grafting
As an alternative to breast enlargement via breast implants, Dr Martian Lonnen also performs breast augmentation via fat grafting. Instead of using silicone or saline implants, this procedure augments and lifts the breasts using fat taken from the patient. Fat is removed from different parts of your body (hips, belly, etc) through Liposuction and then injected into your breasts. With minimal incisions and low scarring, fat grafting can produce natural, long-lasting results.
What is the Cost of Breast Augmentation surgery?
The breast augmentation cost in Dubai is between AED 18,000 and AED 30,000. This value varies from person to person depending on the desired fullness and the surgeon’s abilities. Know that the exact cost is only quoted after initial diagnosis. Make sure you choose the Best Breast Augmentation Surgeon in Dubai. Also, ensure that you read Breast Augmentation reviews in Dubai before finalising your surgeon.
Is Breast Augmentation Surgery painful?
The procedure does not cause as much pain as one might imagine. In fact, recovery pain can be alleviated by painkillers. Of course, there are t other things that influence how much pain you feel after your breast augmentation. Your pain tolerance is the first consideration. Some people have higher pain tolerance, meaning they can handle discomfort better, whilst others have a lower pain threshold, meaning they are more sensitive to pain.
