Cosmetic Breast Surgery Procedures

Cosmetic breast surgery procedures include :
 

 

 

 

 

Breast Augmentation
The procedure is performed under general anaesthetic, after carefully marking pre-operatively to ascertain the exact size, shape and position of the cavity for the implant. The incision is made peri-areolar (i.e. in the lower half of the area around the nipple). This leaves a hairline scar. Generally a pre-pectoral pocket (i.e. in front of the muscle) is created, unless the patient is extremely thin. A pre-pectoral pocket allows for better projection of the breast and prevents the complication of muscle contracture over the implant. Silicone implants are generally used (unless the patient specifies a saline filled implant) as they feel softer and more natural. A small tube drain is left in overnight to prevent blood accumulating in the cavity. Post-operatively the patient massages the breast to keep the cavity as large as possible.


Hospital stay – 2 night

Breast Lift Surgery
This is either performed through a peri-areola scar (i.e. around the circumference of the areola), or in worse cases is performed using a keyhole incision - with the resultant scar around the areola and a very small and insignificant scar in the inframammary fold. A vertical scar joins these 2 scars. All sutures are absorbable and do not need to be removed. Post-operatively the patient has to wear a bra for 4 weeks day and night.


Hospital stay – 3 nights
Recovery – 10 days

Breast Reduction
Breast Reduction is performed under general anaesthetic, after careful pre-operative marking with the patient standing. Generally a supero-medial pedicle is performed - especially in larger breasts. The breasts are taped for six weeks post operatively to reduce tension on the scars and to obtain a narrow scar. The patient is instructed on how to tape the breasts herself for the period. A bra is worn continuously for two weeks, day and night, and then during the day for the next four weeks. All sutures are absorbable.
