An Overview of Breast Implant Procedure
- Breast implants are prostheses which help increase the bust size and give the appearance of firmer and more attractive breasts.
- These can also correct saggy drooping breasts if a breast implant surgery is performed with a breast lift procedure.
- The breast implant procedure is alternatively known as breast augmentation and augmentation mammoplasty.
- Implants are also used in post-mastectomy reconstruction and for correcting chest deformities present from birth.
- Surgery involves making incisions in the inframammary fold and the areola or the armpit.
- The incisions are placed strategically so that the scars are minimally visible.
- Underlying breast tissue is lifted to create a compartment for the implant.
- After placing the implant in the compartment, the surgeon sutures back the incisions.
- Bruising and swelling after surgery are common and may take a few months to subside.
- It will take you about six months to appreciate the final results of your surgery.
Types of Breast Implants
- These are filled with silicone gel.
- Silicone gel is a thick liquid substance that is quite similar in texture to human fat.
- Silicone implants score over saline implants, as the former feel and look more like natural breasts.
- A leaky silicone implant might cause breast pain or result in changes to the contours of the bust area. This can warrant surgical removal of the implant.
- Saline-filled implants are inserted unfilled into the breast.
- These are filled with sterile saline water after placing them in the breast area.
- The saline implant’s outer covering or shell is, however, made of silicone.
- If a saline implant ruptures, the leaked salt water will be absorbed by the body; the remnant silicone shell will have to be removed surgically.
How to Prepare for Your Surgery?
- Stop smoking at least two weeks before your surgery.
- You will have to continue abstaining from smoking for at least two weeks after your surgery as the chemicals present in smoke can interfere with the healing process.
- Say no to alcoholic beverages at least a week before your breast implant surgery.
- Make sure you do not consume alcohol at least a day before your surgery.
- See to it that you do not eat or drink anything for at least 6 hours before your surgery.
- Aspirin, anti-inflammatory drugs, and herbal medicines should be avoided as these can increase the chances of bleeding.

The world’s first silicone breast implants were developed by a team led by Dr Thomas Cronin in 1962. Breast implants have a history of more than half a century!
