ABOUT
THE TREATMENT

Breast Augmentation or Augmentation mammaplasty is a surgical operation performed to enlarge the breasts for a number of reasons:

• To enhance the body contour of a woman, who for personal reasons feels that her breast size is too small.

• To correct a loss in breast volume after pregnancy. • To balance breast size when there exists a significant difference between the size of the breasts.

• As a reconstructive technique for various conditions. • Replacement of breast implants for medical or cosmetic reasons.

The shape and size of the breasts prior to surgery will influence both the recommended treatment and the final results. If the breasts are not the same size or shape before surgery, it is unlikely that they will be completely symmetrical afterward.

Breast enlargement is accomplished by inserting a breast implant either behind the breast tissue or under the chest muscles. Incisions are made to keep scars as inconspicuous as possible, usually under the breast in the breast fold. The method of inserting and positioning breast implants will depend on your preferences, your anatomy and your surgeon’s recommendation.

At MCC, you will have the opportunity to try various sizers before you decide on the size of implant you would choose.

Patients undergoing augmentation mammaplasty surgery must consider the possibility of future revisionary surgery. Breast implants cannot be expected to last forever. Therefore, it is important to choose a surgeon who is well-experienced and is a member of the British Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgeons (BAPRAS) for your breast augmentation.
