Breast Augmentation and Lift with Implants is a cosmetic surgical procedure that combines breast enlargement with a mastopexy (breast lift) to enhance breast volume, shape, and position.
Preparation: Before the surgery, patients should attend a pre-assessment appointment to evaluate their general health and discuss any medications they are taking. It's important to follow specific instructions regarding fasting before the surgery and to arrange for transportation home, as driving immediately after the procedure is not advisable.
Procedure: Performed under general anaesthesia, the surgeon makes incisions, typically in the inframammary fold (under the breast), to insert implants and lift the breast tissue. The implants are placed either under the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle, depending on individual anatomy and desired outcomes. The procedure typically lasts between 2 to 3 hours, depending on complexity.
Recovery: Post-surgery, patients may experience swelling, bruising, and discomfort, which can be managed with prescribed painkillers. Wearing a supportive sports bra 24/7 for up to 3 months is often recommended. Patients should avoid heavy lifting and strenuous exercise for at least one month. Light activities can generally be resumed within 1 to 2 weeks, while full recovery may take 4 to 6 weeks, varying by individual healing.
