Breast Augmentation

Types of Breast Augmentation Procedures

There are several options when it comes to breast augmentation, each designed to address specific aesthetic concerns. At HTA, we offer the following options to help you achieve your desired look:

1. Breast Implants (Breast Augmentation with Implants)

Breast implants are the most common and widely known breast augmentation procedure. This surgery involves the placement of silicone or saline implants behind the breast tissue or chest muscle to increase breast size, restore volume, and create a natural-looking shape.

Silicone Implants: Silicone breast implants are filled with a silicone gel that closely mimics the feel of natural breast tissue. They are often preferred for their natural look and feel, especially for women who want to achieve a fuller appearance.

Saline Implants: Saline implants are filled with a sterile saltwater solution. They can be adjusted for size during the surgery, offering flexibility in achieving the desired results. These implants are often chosen for their safety, as they can be easily adjusted or replaced if necessary.

The decision between silicone and saline implants depends on your preferences, body type, and the advice of your surgeon. Both types can deliver excellent results, providing you with a more balanced, proportionate look.

2. Breast Lift (Mastopexy)

A breast lift, also known as mastopexy, is a procedure designed to lift and reshape sagging breasts. Over time, factors such as aging, pregnancy, breastfeeding, or weight loss can cause the breasts to lose their firmness and youthful shape. A breast lift removes excess skin, tightens the breast tissue, and repositions the nipple to restore a perkier and more youthful appearance.

This procedure is ideal for women who are happy with the size of their breasts but wish to restore their natural shape and firmness. A breast lift can also be combined with breast implants if you desire both a lift and increased volume.

3. Breast Reduction

For women with overly large breasts that may cause physical discomfort, back pain, or self-consciousness, breast reduction surgery offers a solution. This procedure reduces the size of the breasts by removing excess tissue and skin, creating a smaller, more proportionate breast size that is more comfortable and aesthetically pleasing.

Breast reduction surgery not only alleviates physical discomfort but can also enhance body symmetry and improve overall proportions.

4. Combination Breast Augmentation (Implants and Lift)

In some cases, a breast augmentation procedure may involve both implants and a lift. This combination is particularly beneficial for women who have lost volume due to pregnancy or aging and also have some degree of sagging.

By combining breast implants with a lift, the procedure restores lost volume, increases breast size, and lifts the breasts to a higher, more youthful position. This combined approach allows for a fuller, firmer appearance that can make a significant difference in your overall body proportions.

The Breast Augmentation Procedure at HTA

At HTA, we offer personalized consultations to determine the best approach for your breast augmentation needs. During your consultation, our surgeons will assess your anatomy, discuss your goals, and provide recommendations based on your unique body type.

Procedure Steps

Consultation and Planning: During your initial consultation, we will take detailed measurements of your chest and discuss your ideal breast size, shape, and look. We’ll help you choose the right type of implants (silicone or saline) or determine if a breast lift is required.

Anesthesia: Breast augmentation surgery is typically performed under general anesthesia, ensuring that you are completely comfortable throughout the procedure.

Incision Placement: The incisions for breast augmentation can be made in several places, including:

• Inframammary Fold (under the breast): This is the most common incision location and is well-hidden within the natural crease of the breast.
• Periareolar (around the areola): This incision is placed around the dark skin of the nipple for minimal scarring.
• Transaxillary (in the armpit): This incision is made in the armpit, leaving no visible scars on the breast itself.

Implant Placement: After making the incisions, the surgeon will place the implants either behind the breast tissue or under the chest muscle, depending on the patient’s anatomy and desired result. If you are having a lift, the surgeon will also remove excess skin and reposition the nipple.

Closing the Incisions: Once the implants are placed, and any excess skin is removed, the incisions will be carefully closed. The surgeon will use sutures that help reduce scarring and aid in the healing process.

Recovery: After surgery, you will be given detailed instructions on post-operative care, including how to care for your incisions and any necessary follow-up appointments. Swelling and bruising are normal, and it may take a few weeks for the full results to become visible.

Recovery and Results

Recovery after breast augmentation surgery typically takes about 4 to 6 weeks. During the initial stages of recovery, you will need to wear a support bra to minimize swelling and provide support for your new breasts.

Patients can expect some bruising and swelling immediately after surgery, but these symptoms will gradually subside. After about 2 to 3 weeks, most patients can return to light activities, and full recovery can take up to 6 weeks, with normal activities resuming after this period.

The results of your breast augmentation will be visible immediately, though final results, including full breast shape and contour, will be seen after the swelling has fully gone down. With proper care and maintenance, the results of your surgery can last for many years, giving you the confidence and appearance you’ve always desired.
