Breast Augmentation Changes Your Life and Achieves Your Ideal Body
WHAT IS BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY?
Breast augmentation is a simple and very safe cosmetic surgery procedure. The goal is to change the shape of the breasts by using specific medical fillers made of silicone or saline to make them larger and rounder . The type of filler is determined by the cosmetic surgeon based on the size needed and the desired result, as well as skin type, body shape, and age.
- Silicone Filling Silicone filling is a silicone shell filled with silicone gel, a transparent viscous liquid with a composition similar to the mammary glands that make up the breast, which allows the shape of the breast to appear natural. To undergo breast augmentation with silicone fillings, women must be at least 20 years old
- Saline fillings: can give breasts of relatively larger sizes than silicone fillings made of saline solution with a built-in silicone rubber membrane. It can be filled in varying amounts depending on the size needed. To undergo saline breast augmentation, the patient must be at least 18 years old
Breast augmentation is also involved in other therapeutic purposes, such as being used as one of the treatment stages for breast cancer or to make two breasts symmetrical in size.
PRE- BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY TIPS
Before breast augmentation, your doctor will provide you with some instructions, which you must follow
Avoid smoking for one month before undergoing breast augmentation because it narrows the veins and decreases the oxygen rate in the blood
Do not take blood thinning medications such as aspirin or ibuprofen
Do not consume stimulants such as caffeine or Arabic coffee for two weeks before breast augmentation (as they affect the anesthetic process and make it more difficult to anesthetize the patient)
To avoid bleeding during surgery, do not consume any blood thinners, including alcohol and vitamins, including vitamin E, for two weeks before surgery
POST- BREAST AUGMENTATION SURGERY TIPS
Recovery time for breast augmentation is estimated to be four to six weeks. In addition, for best results and to speed up the healing process, specific instructions must be followed as directed by the doctor, including
Avoid high temperatures
Do not exercise or lift heavy objects for at least one month after surgery to allow the skin to heal properly
