Breast augmentation surgery
is the most popular surgery among women across the world. There are many
a questions in your mind which you want to get answered before deciding to go
ahead with the cosmetic surgery. We have compiled a set of few frequently asked
questions about breast augmentation by our clients.
What is breast augmentation? Is it same as Breast implants
surgery?
Breast augmentation
is the plastic surgery to enhance the size and shape of the breast. The breast
augmentation plastic surgery is also known as breast implant surgery as breasts
are usually enhanced by inserting implants under the breast tissue.
My breasts are hanging and look empty after breast feeding. Would
breast augmentation take care of that?
Breast lift is
usually the right procedure to uplift the hanging breasts. Nonetheless, even
the implants also uplift the breasts to a certain extent by filling the upper
pole of the breasts. The plastic surgeon can help you decide the right
procedure for you- whether the breast lift or breast lift with augmentation or
only breast augmentation would help you get the desired results after taking a
look at your pictures or physically examining you.
My breasts are unequal in size. Can breast implant surgery help?
Yes, the breast
implant surgery can help you correct the unequal size in both the breasts by
inserting implants of different sizes.
Would breast augmentation correct the asymmetry in the location of
my nipple and areola?
No, breast
augmentation surgery does not correct asymmetry in the location of nipple and
areola- you would need nipple areola correction surgery for that.
Can I breast feed my baby after
breast implant surgery?
Yes,
breast implants do not interfere with milk production or secretion. They would
in no way affect your ability to breast feed your baby.
What is an Implant? How does a breast implant feel?
A
breast implant is a soft shell or a rubber sac that is filled with silicone gel
or saline (salt-water). The feel of the implant is very natural and close to
the feel of the normal breast tissue. Breast implants are available in several
different sizes to accommodate different patient's needs and surgeon's
preference. The surface texture of the implant can be smooth or
contoured.
Are the Breast Implants Safe?
Yes,
the breast implants are completely safe. Many worldwide studies have shown that
there has no incidence of any increased illness or systemic diseases caused by saline
or gel implants.
Which implants are better for me-
silicon or saline?
Silicone
implants are used by the surgeons worldwide after they got a clearance from
FDA. Silicone implants have many advantages over saline implants.
1. They
have a very natural consistency and thus provide a more natural feel.
2. They
give a cohesive feeling. Cohesive means that it tends to remain whole. This
means that,
even if the shell were to rupture, its content would not spill out.
It would remain whole without
any divisions. In the past, its content used to
leak through the micropores of the shell and caused capsular contractures.
Nowadays, these leakages have been almost completely reduced thanks to the cohesive properties of the content and to the new shells made of several superimposed layers.
3. They
do not lose their volume as time goes by.
4. They
do not make 'liquid' sounds during physical activities.
What in case I get hurt and the
shell gets ruptured? Would silicon harm me?
The
new latest age implants are made of several superimposed layers. There bleak
chances that there would be a leak. In the rare case, if does, a surgeon can
easily replace the implants.
Where the incision for breast implant surgery would be made? Does the
surgery leave scars on the breast?
The incision is made
at any of the following places depending on your preference and the surgeon’s
comfort and recommendation.
· Areola
- with this method, the surgeon makes the incision around the bottom half of
the areola.
· Transaxillary
or "transax" - this incision is placed in the armpit.
· Inframmary
- also known as a "crease incision". A small incision is made
in the crease of the breast.
·
Scars-
The advanced surgical techniques and the skill of the surgeon minimize all
visible scarring, which shall be few mm and will become completely invisible in
no time.
I do not want a scar on my breast.
Can you put the implant through my belly button?
The
implants that are put through the belly button are Saline filled implants, not
gel-filled or silicon filled implants. These saline implants are in a flat
deflated shape, they are rolled up and then slipped through the tunnel created
from the belly button to the chest wall. There they are spread out and then
inflated with saline to the volume desired through a long tube with a one-way
valve which is then disconnected and pulled out. Practically no one uses saline
implants today. Gel implants were banned
by the US FDA for 2 decades. Everywhere else in the whole world, surgeons
continued to use gel implants for their happy patients while the US patients
unfortunately had to make do with saline implants. Finally in the early 2000s,
the US FDA allowed even US surgeons to use gel implants on their patients.
Cohesive
gel implants are the gold standard in breast augmentation- feel, shape and
contour, durability, complications.... all these are way superior with gel
implants.
There
is no way that gel implants, which are manufactured ready for placement can be
put through a belly-button incision.
The
cut and scar that on the breast is entirely under the breast and would be only
4 cm in length. Through such a small access, the cohesive gel implant of the
necessary size can be easily inserted to give fullness to the breasts.
Can the implants be inserted
through an areola incision?
The
implants can be inserted through an incision on the areola if the areola nipple
complex is large enough to do so. Also, the following points have to be kept in
mind by the patient while choosing the incision on the areola complex.
1)
Going through the areola means partially cutting through breast tissue to reach
the plane under the breast. It is generally not preferred if there is a choice.
2)
The incision usually used when doing this approach is called a Multiple-W
incision or zig-zag incision or a "lightning sign" incision. The
advantage is that it stretches out to become larger than a linear or simple
curved incision because the zig-zag allows it.... this creates a large enough
portal to slip in the implant without damaging it.
I am a black lady. Would the scar
through areola be more visible in my case?
In
a dark-skinned individual, a scar remains lighter before it matures (just like
in a light skinned individual, it is dark and then fades). So this scar on the
areola will be seen on the surface as a lighter zig-zag mark, as compared to
the color of the areola till it matures (3-6 months, sometimes upto a year).
After that, it will fade off.
Will I experience pain during or after the surgery?
The
procedure shall be done under anesthesia, so there would be no pain during the procedure.
Many women experience some tenderness (rather than actual pain) following
breast enlargement surgery and take pain relief for up to one week afterwards.
Facelift is one of the most sought after procedure these days. People from all walks of life want to look their best and thus have been undergoing the knife- one because it is safe, thanks to the advanced technology and second, access to affordable cosmetic surgery procedures abroad.
Many people have many common queries and we have listed a few FAQs commonly asked by people intending to undergo facelift surgery in India.
What does a facelift surgery actually do?
The face lift surgery firms and tightens the skin of face and neck giving a youthful and fresh appearance. The face lift usually turns back the clock on the face by about 10-15 years. Face lift also effectively treats wrinkles and lines in the lower facial regions such as the jowls and neck.
What should you not expect from a face lift cosmetic surgery?
The facelift surgery does not:
- Eliminate crow's feet nor wrinkles around the lips, since these wrinkles do not appear as a result of the aging process, but due to repeated muscle contraction.
- Produce any changes in the area above the eyes. In order to do that, forehead or brow lift surgery will be necessary.
What is the right age to get my first face lift?
There is no right age for a face lift. The time for your first face lift is based on whether the lift can correct your concerns. People are generally seeking facelift at younger age now to give a more natural appearance and longer lasting results.
Though at the age of 40-45 you may not need a full face lift, MACS lift (Minimal Access Cranial Suspension) or what is popularly known as a lifestyle lift would give you great results.
Will the results of face lift last forever?
Face lift surgery does not prevent the aging process. It simply resets the clock for an earlier time. However, there are some factors that change the longevity of the lift.
Condition of the skin is a major contributing factor. Skin that has lost elasticity through age, sun damage, smoking, and weight fluctuation will tend to recoil back to the pre-operative state sooner than more elastic skin. Younger, more elastic skin will maintain the longevity of the face lift. In general younger patients enjoy longer-lasting results.
Is the surgery painful? Shall I feel a lot of pain during recovery?
We do the surgery under general anesthesia and you shall not have any pain during the procedure. You will experience some pain and discomfort after the procedure, but that would be managed with medications.
Can I get rid of all the wrinkles on my face with facelift surgery?
Face lift refreshes and rejuvenates the lower two-thirds of the face dramatically by removing excess fat and reshaping loose muscles and facial tissue. The surgery reduces sagging in the cheeks and around the jaw and makes you look younger.
Face Lift does not eliminate wrinkles above the lips, around the eyes and forehead. It is thus best called as lower face lift. If you have wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes, BOTOX injections, chemical peels, or laser resurfacing are the options. Eye lid surgery is the best choice to rejuvenate eyes and brow lift for forehead.
When would I be able to resume my daily activities after my facelift?
Most people are able to return to work between 10 and 14 days after their surgery even though swelling and bruising may take up to three weeks to disappear. You should avoid any strenuous activities and sun exposure for at least three to four weeks.
Where would the scars be? Would they be visible?
The scars are well concealed in the natural lines and folds of the face. They would not be visible at all in a few weeks time even if you look at them closely.
Would my friends and colleagues be able to make out that I underwent facelift cosmetic surgery?
No, they would obviously notice your face rejuvenated. Often the compliment our clients receive after a facelift is “Oh, you are looking so fresh and young!”
A good surgeon would take care that your face looks rejuvenated and fresh and not give you a “wind swipe” effect.
What is MACS or lifestyle lift? Is it better than conventional face lift surgery?
MACS is Minimal access cranial suspension lift, commonly known as lifestyle lift. People who do not merit a full face lift benefit greatly from MACS lift. It rejuvenates the mid-face without compromising the area of a future full-fledged face-lift.
Minimal Access Cranial Suspension lift – allows for the correction of sagging facial features through a short, minimal incision, elevating them vertically by suspending them from above. It's a wonderful operation to rejuvenate the midface, jowls, and neck with minimal inconvenience.
The principle behind the MACS-Lift is that the superficial and deep facial layers are repositioned in a purely vertical fashion with no backward pull that can often look "operated" in appearance.
The major differences between the MACS and traditional lift are:
· The MACS-lift uses a shorter scar and is restricted to the front of the ear and along the hairline on the sides instead of behind- used in the traditional face lift, which is much easier to hide. The results of the MACS-lift are also very natural.
· The operation also takes less time, lasting 2.5 hours instead of the 3.5-4 hours that the traditional facelift requires and thus there is also a shorter recovery period.
The surgeons even with this small access can do as comprehensive a face-lift as with the older traditional incisions which are twice as long. So, MACS has become the procedure of choice of many aesthetic surgeons.
How is MACS lift or lifestyle lift done?
The MACS lift involves an incision restricted to the front of the ear stretching only from the earlobe to the hairline on the sides at the level of the top of the ear, which is usually covered by the sidecurls or the sideburns and is therefore virtually invisible once it settles.
Through that incision, the midface is dissected right down to the jawline and the upper neck skin is dissected by liposuction through a 4 mm incision under the chin. With the help of 2-3 strong loop sutures, the sagging tissues in the cheek are then plicated and lifted to be anchored to the deep tissues at the level of the hairline. This lifts the malar prominence back to a youthful position, tightens and smoothens the smile creases and lines at the corners of the mouth, improves the jowls, redefines the jawline and tightens the sheet of muscles in the neck as well.
It gives as good a result as the comprehensive face-lift while keeping the incision and dissection of the sagging tissues to a minimum thereby almost eliminating the risks of injury to important nerves and not scarring the tissues too much.
How do I know if I am a candidate for face lift or a non surgical technique is better for me?
If your face shows obvious signs of ageing with descent of the malar (cheek) prominence, significant wrinkling and folds in the cheeks, loss of facial fat, deepened nasolabial lines, early marionette lines at the corners of the mout, jowling and loss of definition of the jawline and considerable laxity in the neck (with fat accumulation under the chin), you are a candidate for face lift.

Gastric Bypass surgery is one of the most commonly performed Weight loss surgery. The procedure is highly effective in providing long-term, consistent weight loss. But since the procedure is a major surgery & has its share of risks & complications involved as with all major surgeries, researchers & doctors have been constantly looking for techniques to improve the outcome of the surgery. Bio absorbable seam guards are the latest technology that can highly improve the outcome of the procedure. Research has shown that the seam guard helps in significant reduction in post operative gastrojejunal stricture formation & also prevents anastomotic bleeding and leak to a large extent.
In a Gastric bypass surgery or Roux-en-Y gastric bypass, the stomach is made smaller by creating a small pouch at the top of the stomach using surgical staples or a plastic band. The smaller stomach is connected directly to the middle portion of the small intestine (jejunum), called the gastrojejunal anastomosis, bypassing the rest of the stomach and the upper portion of the small intestine (duodenum). Thus for the successful outcome of the surgery, enteric anastomotic integrity is absolutely essential, otherwise it may lead to complications in the form of bleeding, stricture or leak, which are the fears of both patients and surgeons alike.
Seam guard is a porous structure made of a synthetic, fully bio absorbable fibre that is used as Staple Line Reinforcement. The seam guard has features like high tensile strength & its leak resistance and burst resistance capacity helps in avoiding bleeding, stricture or leak, thus improving surgical outcomes.
Research has shown that the seam guards retain more than 70% of original tensile strength for 4 to 6 weeks post placement and are completely absorbed by 6 months. Seam guards are also used in colorectal surgeries & their effect in end-to-end anastomoses in these surgeries revealed no incidence of anastomotic leak or bleeding, stricture was not examined. In Gastric Bypass surgery, prior to their routine use, anastomotic stricture was present in nearly 1 out of 10 patients that underwent laparoscopic Roux-en-Y divided gastric bypass, resulting in a significant number of patients needing endoscopic dilation, but the use of seam guard completely avoids the complication of stricture.
There are surgeons in India who have 100% success rate and have never had any complications with hundreds of patients they have operated upon. IndiCure is one such company which associates with only the most proficient surgeons.
Cosmetic Surgery is getting popular among men and women from all walks of life. Be it young, old, rich and famous or not so wealthy, everyone wants to look good and attractive in today’s world. Be it facial procedures or weight loss or other body procedures, cosmetic surgery has become a means whereby people are getting the looks or body shape that they yearn for.
It is most often seen that people opt for cosmetic surgery procedures on hearsay but it is always advisable to ask yourself if you are a good candidate for undergoing cosmetic surgery.
The first step is to ask yourself why you want to undergo the cosmetic make-over. What do you want to achieve from the surgery? Do you often feel self-conscious about your appearance, does your appearance hinder yourself from wearing clothes, wearing a make-up or going to places or doing activities which you feel you would have enjoyed doing otherwise. Would you like to do it for yourself or for someone else?
The second important question is to ask if you have realistic expectations from the surgery. If you want to look like a celebrity or want face like him, nose like her, lips like her, tell yourself that it is not fair and unrealistic. Bear in mind that every face and body is unique and it is not possible to copy someone else’s facial features. Your surgeon can explain you how can we modify and change your appearance to give you better looks, but a replica of someone else is unrealistic.
If you have found answer to the above mentioned questions and are convinced that you would like to go ahead, please keep the following important points in mind before you jump to it.
You must be above 18 for undergoing the surgery, should not be suffering from any major physical or mental illness like cardiac or neurological problem etc for undergoing the procedure.
Most of the cosmetic surgeries now-a-days are done with the latest techniques and with a lot of precision and expertise. Also, the cosmetic surgeries are very cost – effective in countries like India in comparison to countries such as USA, UK, Australia or New Zealand. In India, the surgeries are done in clinics and hospitals which have cutting edge technologies that are at par with any other country in the world, but the cost is very less. The surgeons are among the best surgeons in the world, are board certified and have years of experience in their fields.
There are many medical tourism companies that you can bank upon to plan your cosmetic surgeries with. They not only plan your treatment but also take care of all your needs before, during and after the treatment.
There are various steps and facts to know before you undergo the knife- these include the right place, who is the best cosmetic surgeon for my procedure, his or her profile, experience etc, and results to be expected, how to prepare for the surgery which needs to be looked into. These things shall be discussed in future posts.
They say that the face tells the story of your life and for most people nowadays it reflects a sorry tale thanks to the mounting stress in day to day life. Apart from age related wear and tear, our faces also reflect many of our dietary and lifestyle choices that show up in unwanted signs like excessive wrinkles, saggy cheeks, droopy eye bags and the like. Also people are also getting increasingly aware of their looks and are more interested in anti-aging and corrective facial plastic surgery, thanks to the increasing accessibility to the surgical facilities and more affordable procedures in countries like India.
Reflections of plastic surgery can be seen right from ancient times where attempts to repair injuries and the like were made; but of course this was a far cry from the cutting edge and highly specialized facial cosmetic surgery you can avail of today. Whether you want to correct an age related issue, repair the damage due to an injury or simply modify one of your features to better suit your idea of attractiveness, you can find an appropriate cosmetic surgery for your face today.
Some of the most popular facial plastic or cosmetic procedures you hear of today are face lifts than can help reverse certain signs of aging, gravity, sun damage and the like, rhinoplasties or nose jobs used to change or correct the shape of your nose for aesthetic or medical reasons, ear corrections popular to correct protruding or overly large years and lip augmentations that can plump up the lips and add volume and shape. It is also seen that other procedures like brow lifts, cheek implants (to give a youthful appearance), chin augmentation (to correct a weak chin), blepharoplasty or eye bag / eye lid surgery etc. are seen more and more nowadays.
Just a few years ago facial plastic surgery was something you assumed only film stars and celebrities could avail of and the signs of which were plain to see on television and glossy magazines. However, nowadays that scenario has definitely changed and such kinds of cosmetic surgeries are more and more common among people around the world. It is no longer whispered about or considered a taboo today and many people openly discuss their plans for facial cosmetic procedures. When done by the hands of a skilled surgeon and with high end medical facilities at your disposal, the success rate of such surgeries are high and can dramatically enhance your appearance. Whether it is to give a boost to a flailing self esteem, correct a deformity, reverse the signs of ageing or any other reason, facial cosmetic surgery is among the most popular cosmetic surgeries the world over.
The perception of beauty and belief about what the ideal body and silhouette are is forever changing and evolving. In the past few years, there has been a shift in the psyche of people worldwide with the preference for a shapely and curvy body on the rise. One of the body parts that women often pay attention to is their buttocks. The craze for having a well rounded and lush backside has been cemented and made hugely popular by celebrities like Beyonce, Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lopez, known for their considerable curves. It is no surprise then that new procedures like the Brazilian buttock augmentation and butt implants have become so hugely popular.
Cosmetic surgeons around the world are seeing an increasing preference among woman turning to surgical help to procure a shapely backside that they have not genetically and or biologically been gifted with. If you are fed up of your flat derrière and targeted exercises have not really helped or simply want a backside that is more sculpted and shaped, there are a couple of options you could consider like buttock augmentation or butt implants
The relatively newer procedure as compared to putting in implants in the buttocks is the Brazialian buttock augmentation or Brazilian buttock lift. In this type of augmentation, fat is taken from another area of the body (usually via minute liposuction incisions) and transferred to this part of your anatomy.
So basically you use the fat from elsewhere, to add volume and shape to your behind; and it is said that it does feel very natural in most cases since the fat incorporates itself into the body again well. Sounds like a good deal doesn’t it! However, you will have to consider all options to make sure which procedures are suitable for you, for example someone with very low body fat percentage and small size, may not have enough fat to be used for the augmentation in the first place. Candidature for any procedure will also depend on the skin quality and the concerned surgeon’s opinion on the best course of action.
This modern and fascinating surgical procedure known as the Brazilian buttock augmentation is definitely an option to consider if you are looking to create a more desirable back side or balance a heavier upper body or simply fill out your favourite pair of pants better or maybe want to combat the effect of constant weight and size fluctuations that have left your behind flatter or unshapely etc. Whatever your reasons may be do consider all your options, make sure you talk to skilled professionals, check about recovery periods and after care, and them embark on an informed course of action.
