Now that you know what this surgery treats, it is best to know about the clinical requirements to undergo the surgery and the procedure:

Requirements for Breast Augmentation

To be a good candidate for breast augmentation, here are a few things you should keep in mind:

i. Good physical health without any underlying conditions that can hinder the surgery.

ii. Fully developed breasts (happens between ages 18 and 22.)

iii. Have realistic expectations with respect to the surgery.

iv. As per the FDA, the patient must be at least 18 to get saline breast implants and 22 for silicone implants.

iv. Clearing medical evaluation conducted by your surgeon.

Breast Augmentation Procedure

Augmentation mammoplasty is a surgical procedure that increases the shape and size of your breasts. There are two ways through which breast augmentation may proceed - one is through implants and the other is fat transfer. The following section will illustrate both.

Before the procedure begins, there’s pre-surgery instructions that you must follow to ensure a smooth procedure. These may include stopping smoking, certain medications or alcohol.

Here’s a detailed look at the procedure including implants:

Step 1: Incision

The surgeon starts by making the incision in one of the three locations:

i. Inframammary: This incision is usually under the breast, in the crease.

ii. Axillary: This incision is under the armpit.

iii. Periareolar: The surgeon makes an incision around the areola.

iv. Transumbilical: This is a less common type of incision that is made through the belly button.

Step 2: Creating a pocket for the implant

After the incision comes the creation of a pocket that allows the implant to sit in place. The surgeon creates a space under in the chest muscles or in the breast tissue. This space helps hold the implant.

Step 3: Placing the implant

The type of implant you choose (saline- or silicone-filled) is now inserted into the pocket to complete the procedure.

Step 4: Closing the incision

Now that everything's in place, the surgeon will close the incision area with either surgical tape or stitches.

The procedure involving fat transfer breast augmentation has similar steps with just a few differences.
