Surgical Procedure
During breast augmentation, a breast implant is placed either under the breast tissue and over the chest muscle, or under both the chest muscle and the breast tissue. Your surgeon will advise you on the most suitable procedure for you. This helps to increase or balance the size of the breasts, restore breast volume, or restore the shape of breasts after partial or total loss. In doing an abdominoplasty, the excess skin and fat are removed surgically from the abdominal area. A low abdominal incision across the pubic area, from hip to hip, and sometimes from the navel down is made. Depending on the needs of the patient, the muscles of the abdominal wall are tightened. If loose skin and muscle weakness are limited to the area below the navel, a slightly different procedure – which usually leaves a smaller scar and no scarring around the navel may be performed.
Pre Operative Care
For the planned breast augmentation,you will have to make a choice and in agreement with your surgeon about: 1. your desired cup size 2. placement of the implant 2.1 under the breast tissue and over the chest muscle 2.2under both the chest muscle and the breast tissue 3. placement of incision 3.1 armpit incision 3.2 areola incision 3.3 crease incision or under the breast (inframammary fold) ) 4. type of implant content = silicone-filled or saline-filled 5. shape of implant = round or teardrop (anatomical), moderate or high projection
Before surgery please inform your surgeon of any allergies, all medical conditions, and any medication that you are taking (both prescription and non-prescription).
To eliminate the chance of post op. bleeding you should avoid aspirin and any medication containing aspirin for two weeks prior to surgery.
You should also not smoke for 2 weeks prior to surgery as smoking can affect your reaction to the anaesthetic and slow down the healing process.
Patients that suffer from hypertension must inform the surgeon prior to surgery. In your consultation you should discuss your expectations of the outcome of the surgery and listen to the surgeon’s opinion.

Post Operative Care
Oral antibiotics, pain reliever, anti swelling medications and wound dressing material is provided upon discharge from the hospital. Instructions on breast massage and wound care is also given. Bruising, swelling, soreness, discomfort, mild numbness, burning sensation and extra sensitivity to your nipples are not uncommon on the first few days up to a week following breast augmentation surgery. This will resolve within 2 weeks. The abdomen may be dressed with bandages and you will experience some compression across the abdomen. You may not be able to stand straight for some time due to the compression. A light surgical support garment must be worn for approximately 3 months to support the tightened area following surgery. The recovery period is usually about 2 weeks. While there may still be some swelling and bruising, most people are happy with the result and return to work after approximately 4 weeks.
