What is Breast Augmentation? 

Breast augmentation is a cosmetic surgery that increases the size or improves the shape of the breasts. It’s most commonly done using silicone or saline implants, or sometimes through fat transfer from another part of the body. The procedure is customized based on the person’s body, goals, and desired look whether it's for a fuller shape, restoring volume after weight loss or pregnancy, or improving symmetry. Breast augmentation is a personal choice, and when done safely, it can help individuals feel more confident and comfortable in their bodies.

Why Do People Consider Breast Augmentation?​​

• 1. Cosmetic Reasons

• To enhance naturally small or underdeveloped breasts

• To restore volume lost due to weight loss, pregnancy, or aging

• To achieve a desired look in clothing or swimwear

• 2.  Functional Reasons

• To correct congenital breast deformities (e.g., tuberous breasts)

Dr Vicky Jain Approach to Breast Augmentation

Dr. Vicky Jain’s approach to breast augmentation focuses on creating natural-looking, balanced results that match each person’s body and goals. He takes time to understand what you’re hoping to achieve whether it’s adding volume, restoring shape after pregnancy, or correcting unevenness and then recommends the safest, most suitable method, such as implants or fat transfer. Every step is carefully planned, from choosing the right size and type of implant to making sure the final look feels comfortable and confident. His goal is to help you feel like the best version of yourself, without changing who you are.

What is the suitable age group for Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation is generally recommended for individuals who are 18 years or older for saline implants, and 22 years or older for silicone implants, as per medical guidelines. This is because the breasts should be fully developed before considering surgery. Many people choose the procedure in their 20s to 40s, but it can be safely performed at any adult age if the person is healthy and has realistic expectations. A thorough consultation helps ensure it's the right choice for your body and personal goals.

How long does recovery take for Breast Augmentation?

Recovery from breast augmentation usually takes about 1 to 2 weeks for most daily activities. During the first 3 to 5 days, you may feel some soreness, tightness, or swelling, which gradually improves with rest and prescribed medication. Most people can return to light work or school within 7 to 10 days, but strenuous activities and exercise should be avoided for 4 to 6 weeks to allow proper healing. Final results settle over a few months as the implants adjust and the tissues heal naturally.

Tests Requirements

Before undergoing breast augmentation, a few important medical tests are usually required to ensure you're healthy and fit for surgery. These may include basic blood tests like a complete blood count (CBC), blood sugar levels, and a coagulation profile to check how well your blood clots. Depending on your age and health history, your doctor may also recommend an ECG to assess heart function, a chest X-ray, and a breast ultrasound or mammogram to examine breast tissue. These tests help your surgeon plan safely and reduce any potential risks during or after the procedure.
