What are the Risks if a minimally Invasive Spine Surgery is not done timely?

Delaying breast augmentation may not pose immediate health risks but considerations include:

  • Psychological Impact: Prolonged feelings of dissatisfaction or insecurity about appearance.
  • Body Changes: Aging, weight fluctuations, or pregnancy altering breast shape.
  • Missed Enjoyment: Delay could postpone confidence and satisfaction.
  • Increased Cost: Inflation or changes in surgical techniques raise expenses.
  • Complications: Risks like infection, bleeding, or anaesthesia issues potentially worsen with time.

Consulting a qualified plastic surgeon is crucial to discuss goals, timelines, and potential risks associated with delaying the procedure.

What are the types of Breast Augmentation?

Breast augmentation or enlargement offers two primary methods: implants or fat transfer. Each method has various options to achieve the desired aesthetics and feel. Here’s an overview:

Breast Implants

  • Saline: Filled with sterile saline, absorbed harmlessly if ruptured.
  • Structured Saline: Contains an inner structure for a more natural feel.
  • Silicone: Made of silicone gel, requiring regular checks for leakage.
  • Form-Stable (Gummy Bear): Maintains shape even if the shell breaks.
  • Round: Offers fuller appearance with minimal rotational impact.
  • Smooth: Provides the softest feel and natural movement.
  • Textured: Reduces movement risk but may lead to rare complications.

Fat Transfer Augmentation

  • Utilises liposuction to transfer fat from body areas like the belly, flanks, back, or thighs to the breasts.
  • Ideal for modest size increases with a more natural feel.

Before choosing, thorough research and consultation with a certified plastic surgeon are crucial for informed decisions.

What is the Average Cost of Breast Augmentation?

The cost of breast augmentation varies as per the specific type advised by a healthcare provider, such as:

  • Breast implants
  • Fat transfer augmentation

The cost can also vary widely depending on several factors, including the location, the extent of the procedure, the surgeon’s experience, and the hospital’s pricing structure.

To get an explicit estimate for the cost of breast augmentation at the CK Birla Hospital, contact the hospital directly. Additionally, you can consult with our board-certified plastic surgeon to discuss your specific needs and receive a personalised quote for the procedure. 

What is the Diagnosis before Breast Augmentation?

Before breast augmentation, a thorough evaluation is conducted, which includes:

  • Medical History: Review past surgeries, conditions, medications.
  • Physical Examination: Assess breast size, shape, symmetry, and skin quality.
  • Expectation Discussion: Align goals; discuss risks and benefits too.
  • Breast Measurements: Measure dimensions, and volume for implant selection.
  • Imaging: Recommend mammography and ultrasound for tissue evaluation.
  • Psychological Evaluation: Ensure realistic expectations and mental preparedness.
  • Options Discussion: Explain implant types, incision choices, and placement options.

Based on this evaluation, the surgeon advises on the procedure’s suitability, crafting a tailored treatment plan if the patient opts for surgery.
