Breast Augmentation also referred to as breast enlargement, breast enhancement or breast implants and the slang term boob job, is known as Augmentation mammoplasty in medical terms.

The size of the breast is diminished with age or as a result of pregnancy. Breast implant is a prosthesis used to make smaller breasts appear balanced and larger. Under the Breast Augmentation surgery silicone bag (prosthesis) or saline breast implants are inserted beneath the breast (submammary) or beneath the breast and chest muscle (subpectoral) and then the bag is filled with saline also known as salt water.

Under the Breast Augmentation surgery the insertion can be made at various locations, such as periareolar which is at the edge of the areola (brown area consisting of nipple and areola); under the breast at the breast fold; in the armpit (axillary); within the areola; or in the umbilical area. The thinnest scar is usually in the areola. The umbilical incision approach is used with an endoscope (tube with a light for visualization and placement of the breast implant).

Augmentation mammoplasty is done to enhance an under developed breast or a breast that has become small after child birth. This is a simple surgery which does not affect one’s personal life but improves the breast related activities, such as breast feeding. This prosthesis expands the breast area to give an increased cup size, gives a better contour, and more cleavage. This surgery is performed under normal anesthesia or short acting general anesthesia. This is the most commonly performed cosmetic surgery in countries like US, says the American Society of Plastic Surgeons.

The total process of breast enhancement surgery takes several weeks to get completed and it needs a close communication and co-operation between the surgeon and the patent. There are four types of incisional approaches available, which include Areola, Inframammary fold, Navel, and Transaxillary. The placements can be done in subglandular or in submuscular ways. Currently there are three types of implants available, which include Cohesive Gel implants, Saline implants and Silicone implants.

For the first few weeks of the breast augmentation, the breast will be very sensitive. So the patients after surgery are suggested to follow a few instructions for fast recovery. The instructions include limiting movement and getting plenty of rest. Any activity that involves lifting, bending, or straining should be avoided, as it can increase pain and soreness and delay healing. The patients can return to their regular work, but are limited to the above fast recovery instructions for a limited time as instructed by the surgeon.
