Breasts play a very important role in a woman’s life.
Apart from their natural role in lactation and sexual
arousal, they also play a pivotal role in a woman’s

by the majority of women. It makes the person feel

boosting self-esteem

Breast augmentation (Boob job)
Cosmetic/ Aesthetic enhancement of breast volume by inserting silicone implants or fat
transfer to improve the size and appearance of the breasts.
Implants can be inserted over or under the chest muscles. Silicone implants are inert,
non-reactive and compatible with the human body, they have no harmful effects on the body.
As the implants are placed beneath the glands, they have no effect on the lactation and
women can breast-feed safely after their breast implant surgery.
Purpose of breast augmentation
Primary augmentation – To aesthetically enhance the size and feel of breasts in women with
small or unequal breasts.
Revision and Reconstruction – Revise or improvise the results of a previous breast
reconstruction surgery.
Primary reconstruction – To reform or replace the breast tissue which has been damaged from
previous trauma, breast cancer surgery or abnormal anatomic development (e.g., Tuberous
breast deformity)
Who is an ideal candidate for breast augmentation?
Physically, mentally, and emotionally healthy person with a realistic expectation from breast
augmentation surgery.
Women who feel their breast size is smaller as compared to their body proportions, and who
want a symmetric pair of breasts.
Breast augmentation – The procedure
It is a day-care procedure that lasts about 1-2 hours in duration. It is performed under general
anesthesia or local anesthesia with sedation.
In selected patients, both admission and discharge can be planned on the same day. The
client may resume working in 3-5 days.
Routine activities of daily living can be started from the same day of the procedure as soon as
the effect of anesthesia wears off.
The scar placement is such that it is hidden below the breast fold & will not be visible unless
you lift the breast manually.
Breast reduction (Reduction mammoplasty)
Large breasts which are in excess to the size suitable to body proportions may create
situations that are socially embarrassing and uncomfortable.
Apart from the emotional discomfort, heavy breasts also hinder recreational activities like
jogging, dancing, swimming, and other sports.
Extremely large breasts may also lead to problems like back pain, shoulder pain, and difficulties
in maintaining hygiene in the area below the breasts (inframammary fold) leading to under
breast rashes.
The excess weight may also lead to grooves on shoulders from the bra-straps.
These problems can be very effectively managed with a breast reduction surgery, which is a
‘day-care’ procedure.
Up to 3-4 cup/ band sizes may be reduced in a single sitting.
Breast lift (Mastopexy)
Naturally youthful-looking breasts play a very important role in any woman’s body image and
self-esteem.
As the body starts to age, the breast tissue which once used to be firm and perky, starts losing
volume and tends to sag, giving them a ‘deflated’ look.
Similar issues are faced by women who have recently undergone major weight loss, or women
after childbirth and breast feeding.
A Mastopexy (Breast lift) restores the same youthful appearance by tailoring the skin pockets
of the breast to the size that is perfectly suitable to the existing volume of the breast tissue. In
short, it ‘lifts’ the breasts without adding or removing anything from the naturally present breast
tissue.
Fibroadenoma of breast
Some women may have abnormal deposits of fat in the
axillary tail of breast area which reflects as fat hanging
out from the sides of bra-straps, in front of underarms
(Bra bulges).
Contact us to get further insights on how to get rid of
these fatty bulges, surgically or non-surgically.
Armpit Fat (Bra bulges)
It is a firm swelling inside the breast which may occur in any woman during her thirties.
It is also known as the ‘Breast mouse’ owing to its mobility with the breast tissue.
Although being a benign and harmless swelling, it may become painful at times, or may look
and feel unappealing.
Using principles of plastic surgery, fibroadenoma removal can be planned in a manner that
leaves behind no visible scar.
Male Breast Surgery (Gynecomastia)
Gynecomastia is defined as benign
enlargement of male breast glands, which
are otherwise dormant in most males.
The prevalence of Gynecomastia varies
among different races and age-groups. It is
speculated that one in every four males
develop a tendency for gynecomastia during
their lifetime.
The reasons behind increase in size of male breast gland can be diverse, such as
hormonal imbalance (e.g., Increase in estrogen activity or Decrease in Testosterone
activity), side-effect of certain medications e.g., Cimetidine, or it may even be
idiopathic (i.e., It has no clearly defined or proven reason) in some cases
Enlarged breast tissue in males can be a
reason for social embarrassment and lead
to problems like anxiety, avoiding social
gatherings or even depression. It also
disturbs certain activities like jogging,
dancing, swimming etc.
A notable point about Gynecomastia that
occurs from enlargement of male breast
glands is that it may not reverse even after
honest efforts at working-out and weight
loss; because even if the fat is lost, the
enlarged glands are unaffected by the
exercise.
