Breast Augmentation Surgery

Breast Augmentation is one of the most popular forms of cosmetic surgery performed in Dubai. It involves the surgeon inserting implants inside the breast tissue to improve their shape and size. This procedure is particularly helpful if you want to boost your confidence or feel more comfortable with the overall look of your breasts. Commonly referred to as a “boob job” and technically known as Augmentation Mammoplasty, this procedure has helped thousands of women regain their self-esteem and feel good about how they look.

Why have Breast Augmentation in Dubai?

There are many reasons women chose to undergo Breast Augmentation Surgery in Dubai.  The Emirate is a leading cosmetic surgery hub, visited by A List Celebrities and countless other women who are looking for a professional, safe and aesthetically pleasing procedure. You may consider breast augmentation Dubai for the following reasons:

• To enhance your body contours and give shape and volume
• To correct the shape and size of your breasts following pregnancy
• To increase your bra cup size
• To balance the size and appearance of uneven breasts
• To reconstruct the breasts following surgery
• To boost overall confidence and self-esteem

The procedure involves the insertion of an implant behind each breast and will increase the size of the bust line by at least one cup size.

You may also choose to combine your breast augmentation with another procedure, such as a breast lift.

What Are Breast Implants?

Breast Implants are medical silicone shells that are filled with silicone gel or saline (salt water). They come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from large and round to tear drop shaped for a look that is closer to natural breasts. The outer layer of breast implants is made from silicone elastomer; a firm, smooth material. It is used in breast augmentation surgery because it is strong, smooth and pliable and does not cause an allergic reaction in the body. Silicone is commonly used in cosmetics, hair products and foods.

What to Expect During the Consultation?

During your initial consultation, the surgeon will discuss with you your reasons for wanting breast augmentation surgery and what results you expect to achieve. He will also perform a full check-up and breast examination. He will explain the surgery in detail and inform you of what you need to bring on the day. This is also your opportunity to ask any questions and discuss any concerns about the operation. A few days before the operation, a blood test will be performed. Other than that, a number of tests will take place to ensure that the surgery is safe for you, and everyone involved in the procedure.

What to Expect on the Day of Your Surgery?

Breast augmentation surgery is performed under a general anesthetic. It doesn’t involve an overnight stay. The operation itself takes between one hour and 90 minutes. It begins with an incision being made under the chest muscle, below the breast. Because most people feel dizzy following a general anesthetic, we recommend bringing someone with you on the day who will be happy to drive you back afterwards.

What to Expect After Your Surgery

Breast Augmentation Surgery is a quick procedure so as long as you feel well when you come round from the anesthetic you should be able to go home the same day. Although it is best to avoid heavy lifting and exercise for a couple of weeks following the surgery you can expect to be back at work in a few days.

It is common to experience localized pain and tenderness following breast augmentation surgery and you may notice some swelling. Your breasts are also likely to be sensitive to touch for a few weeks following your procedure. Scarring will take between two months to a year following surgery, depending on your body’s individual healing process.

How Much Does Breast Augmentation Surgery Cost?

Because surgeons work on an individual basis with each client and everyone has their own requirements, it is not possible to give a standard price for the cost of breast augmentation surgery. There are many things that are taken into consideration, such as age, health, medical history, skin elasticity and the type of implants used.  You will be provided with a full and thorough quote following your consultation to ensure you are 100% satisfied before going ahead.

What is the Breast Augmentation Procedure?

Breast augmentation is an invasive procedure in which implants are placed beneath the chest muscle or behind the breast tissue. Women undergo this procedure to have a fuller, bigger bust. Some get it for cosmetic reasons, while for others, lack of symmetry in the bust region is the reason to get breast augmentation surgery. It is also commonly known as boob job and augmentation mammoplasty.

What are Breast Augmentation Side Effects?

Although it is considered a safe procedure, some side effects are also associated with it. These include the formation of scar tissues that can change the breast implant’s shape, breast pain, change in breast and nipple sensation, infection and change in the position of implants. Furthermore, the implant may become rupture or starts to leak. If this happens, you should immediately seek a consultation with an experienced surgeon at The Nova Clinic by Aesthetics International.

How is Breast Augmentation Surgery Performed?

The breast augmentation process can vary with regards to the type of implants and the area of the incision. Generally, it starts with sedating the patient by giving them anaesthesia. After that, incisions are made and implants are placed. Once the implants are inserted, the area is closed, and the patient is recommended to wear a compression bandage or sports bra for a few days.  

How Long Should I Take Off from Work?

Patients are advised against indulging in strenuous activities after getting breast augmentation in Dubai. This practise should be followed for at least two weeks. Furthermore, they are recommended to take at least two weeks off from work. However, if your work demands you to take part in extreme physical conditions, you may have to take an additional week off.

Do My Breast Implants Need to be Replaced Every 10 Years?

Yes! According to the FDA, breast implants need to be replaced every ten years. This is due to the fact that there is a chance of implants rupturing. This could lead to inflammation if they are not removed at the right time. Resultantly, scar tissue may develop at the site where the implant is placed. Therefore, it’s best that you consider getting a change of breast implants in Dubai after ten years.

Are Silicone Breast Implants Safe?

Yes, silicone implants are safe for this procedure as they are less like to rupture. Furthermore, they come with a decreased rate of wrinkling and rippling, which makes them long-lasting. Even if a silicone implant leaks, it doesn’t lead to health problems immediately. However, it’s better to get it removed or replaced to ensure there are no short or long term health implications.

Breast Augmentation Recovery & Follow-Up

Expect to experience soreness and swelling during the recovery period. Some patients also have visible bruising at the site of the incision. However, it subsides over time, and the discomfort, too, goes away. It is important to not take part in any heavy physical activity during the recovery period. For enhanced support and positioning, you will be required to wear a compression bandage or sports bra. You will have visible scars as well. But they will fade away gradually.

The surgeon may schedule follow-up visits to check implants and ensure the surgery hasn’t resulted in any complications.
