Breast Augmentation Surgery: How Can Breast Size Be Increased?

Breast augmentation, also called augmentation mammoplasty, is a cosmetic surgical procedure that helps increase breast size and improve breast shape. It is one of the most commonly performed cosmetic surgeries across the world.

This surgery is done for both cosmetic and medical reasons. Some women choose it to enhance their body appearance and confidence, while others need it for medical reconstruction after breast surgery or due to developmental issues.

At Medisure Surgery Care, breast augmentation is performed with a focus on safety, natural-looking results, and patient comfort.

Why Do Women Choose Breast Augmentation?

Women may consider breast augmentation for several reasons, such as:

  • Desire for fuller and well-shaped breasts
  • Loss of breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss
  • Uneven or asymmetrical breasts
  • Congenital breast or chest wall defects
  • Breast reconstruction after mastectomy
  • Improved body confidence and self-image

Types of Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast augmentation can be done using two main methods. A consultation with an experienced cosmetic surgeon helps decide the best option for each patient.

1. Breast Implants (Most Common Method)

Breast implants are the most popular and widely used method of breast augmentation. In this procedure, implants are placed inside the breasts to increase size and improve shape. Most breast augmentation surgeries are done using implants because they provide predictable and long-lasting results.

2. Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation

Fat transfer breast augmentation uses fat taken from another part of the body and injects it into the breasts. This method is suitable for women who want a small and natural increase in breast size.

Fat Transfer for Breast Augmentation

In this technique:

  • Fat is removed from areas like the abdomen, thighs, back, or flanks using liposuction
  • The fat is purified and carefully injected into the breasts
  • The result looks natural and also improves body contour at the donor site

This option is ideal for women who do not want implants and are satisfied with a modest size increase.

Breast Implants for Breast Augmentation

Breast implants are placed either above or below the chest muscle, depending on body structure and desired results. The implant can be inserted using different incision techniques.

Common Implant Incision Types

  • Inframammary Fold Incision – Made under the breast crease. Allows accurate implant placement and has minimal impact on milk-producing glands. This is the most preferred method.
  • Trans-Axillary Incision – Made in the armpit area. No visible scar on the breast, but slightly challenging for perfect symmetry.
  • Peri-Areolar Incision – Made around the dark area of the nipple. May affect breastfeeding in some cases.
  • Transumbilical Breast Augmentation (TUBA) – Incision made near the belly button. Mainly used for saline implants.

How is Breast Augmentation Surgery Performed?

Breast augmentation is usually performed under anesthesia in a well-equipped hospital setting. The procedure involves:

  • Pre-surgery planning and marking
  • Giving anesthesia for comfort
  • Making a small incision
  • Placing the implant or injecting fat
  • Closing the incision with care

The surgery usually takes a few hours, and most patients can return home the same day or the next day.

Recovery After Breast Augmentation

  • Mild pain, swelling, and tightness are normal initially
  • A support bra is advised for healing
  • Most women return to daily activities within a few days
  • Final results become visible after swelling reduces

Doctors at Medisure Surgery Care provide complete aftercare instructions and follow-up support.

Is Breast Augmentation Safe?

Breast augmentation is safe when done by qualified and experienced surgeons. Like any surgery, it carries minimal risks, which are explained clearly during consultation.

Choosing the right medical team and hospital plays a major role in achieving safe and satisfying results.

Takeaway

Breast augmentation surgery is an effective and safe way to enhance breast size, shape, and confidence. Whether done for cosmetic reasons or medical reconstruction, the procedure offers long-lasting results when performed properly.
