Breast Augmentation Surgery at KMB Hospital with Dr. Luknoo
What is a breast augmentation program?
A breast augmentation program involves increasing the size or reshaping the breasts to look beautiful and suit each individual's body. Whether you feel that “my breasts are too small and I don’t feel confident in my clothes” or “my breasts are uneven and I want them to look more proportionate,” breast augmentation is one option that can help restore your confidence. Today, breast augmentation is not only about beauty, but is also a choice for women who want to feel more confident in themselves. You can select the size, shape, and technique that is most suitable and safe, all under the care of an experienced surgeon.
Who is a breast augmentation program suitable for?
Those with small or disproportionate breasts: A breast augmentation program helps add balance and definition to the figure, making your look more attractive.
Those with sagging breasts: Especially after pregnancy or weight loss, a breast augmentation program helps restore a fuller and firmer bustline.
Those who lack confidence in their figure: For those who feel unsure about their body, a breast augmentation program can help build confidence.
Those who want to refresh their look or add sex appeal: A breast augmentation program can transform your look to be more alluring and add charm to any outfit.
Those who want a breast augmentation program for their career or new opportunities: for example, in careers that call for an attractive appearance, a breast augmentation program may help you feel ready for new opportunities.
Which breast augmentation technique is right for you?
1. Subglandular breast augmentation technique (Subglandular)
Suitable for: those who already have a fair amount of natural breast tissue. Benefits:
- The surgery is simple and takes less time.
- Less pain, faster wound healing, and quicker recovery.
- The breast shape can be adjusted easily.
2. Submuscular breast augmentation technique (Submuscular)
Suitable for: those with little natural breast tissue. Benefits:
- The breasts look natural.
- Reduces the formation of scar tissue.
- Reduces the chance of seeing the edge of the implant.
3. Dual Plane breast augmentation technique
Suitable for: those with any type of breast, especially those with sagging breasts. Benefits:
- The implant does not shift or move to the side.
- Natural, with no palpable implant edge.
- Reduces the problem of breast rippling.
4. Breast augmentation technique using implants and your own fat (Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation)
This technique uses fat obtained from liposuction of other areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, and thighs, which is then injected back into the breasts to increase their size, reducing the risk associated with introducing foreign material into the body. After the fat is injected into the breasts, the transferred fat may not settle the same way for everyone; some of it may be reabsorbed on its own, depending on the individual, which may require a repeat procedure to maintain the size.
Popular implant shapes
Breast augmentation is not only about size; the “shape of the implant” is another important factor in making the results of a breast augmentation program look beautiful, natural, and suited to each person's figure. Today there are many types of breast implants, but there are 3 main popular shapes, as follows:
1. Round-shaped implants (Round Shape)
Round implants are considered the most popular type. They are suitable for those who want to emphasize the fullness of the breasts, especially the upper part (Upper Pole).
Highlights:
- Make the breasts look full, plump, and close together.
- Help reshape sagging breasts to look firmer.
- If the implant rotates, no irregularity in the shape will be visible. Suitable for:
- Those who want a sexy look with close breasts and a clear cleavage.
- Those with little natural breast tissue who want to add volume.
2. Teardrop-shaped implants (Teardrop Shape)
Teardrop implants have a wide base and a tapered top, resembling a natural breast. They are suitable for those who want a natural look without emphasizing upper fullness.
Highlights:
- The shape resembles a real breast and looks natural when standing or moving.
- Suitable for slim people or those who want a subtle result that is not easily noticeable. Precautions:
- If the implant rotates, it may distort the breast shape, so precise placement is required. Suitable for:
- Those who want an elegant, natural look without emphasizing sex appeal. • Those who already have some breast tissue and only want to adjust the shape.
3. Ergonomix implants (Ergonomix)
These have a special feature that allows them to change shape according to the body's movements. When standing, the implant has a teardrop-like shape, but when the user leans back or lies down, the implant changes to a round shape, making it look natural in every movement.
Highlights:
- Naturalness: adjusting shape according to movement helps the breasts look and move like natural breasts.
- Feel: this type of implant typically uses a highly elastic gel, giving a feel close to natural tissue.
- Reduced risk of capsular contracture: the implant surface is designed to reduce scar tissue formation around the implant.
Suitable for:
- Those who want breast augmentation that looks natural in both shape and movement.
- Those who are concerned about the feel of the implant.
- Those who want to reduce the risk of capsular contracture. However, choosing the right breast implant should be discussed directly with a surgeon before deciding, to achieve the results you want in the safest way possible.
How many implant surface types are used in breast augmentation programs?
1. Smooth-surface implants (Smooth Surface) Smooth and slippery to the touch, with a soft, natural feel.
2. Textured-surface implants (Textured Surface) The surface is rough, helping the implant adhere well to the body and reducing scar tissue formation.
3. Semi-textured or nano-surface implants (Nano Textured Surface) The newest type of implant, sitting between smooth and textured surfaces, with properties that help reduce scar tissue formation and provide the softest, most natural feel.
Incision locations in breast augmentation surgery
In a breast augmentation surgery program, the location of the skin incision can be chosen to suit each person's anatomy and preferences. In reality, however, the incision location is limited by several factors, including the type and size of the implant used.
A good surgical incision should be as small as possible, yet wide enough to allow the surgeon to safely insert the implant without tearing or excessive bruising, positioned so that it closes completely, without affecting important tissues, and can be well concealed once the wound has fully healed.
- Axillary incision (Axillary)
- Periareolar incision (Periareolar)
- Inframammary crease incision (Inframammary Crease)
Self-care after a breast augmentation program
1. Follow your doctor's instructions
After a breast augmentation program, the doctor will advise you on how to care for yourself afterward, such as wound care, diet, other aspects of self-care, and follow-up appointments after the breast augmentation program. You should follow the doctor's advice and attend your appointments to ensure the surgical wound heals well and the breast shape is correct and as desired.
2. Wound care after breast augmentation
- Do not let the surgical wound get wet for 7 days, or until the stitches are removed.
- Keep the wound clean to reduce the chance of infection.
3. Diet
- Eat nutritious food regularly, focusing on protein to help the body recover faster.
- Drink enough water each day.
- Avoid alcohol and fermented foods for at least 4 weeks.
4. Other self-care
- Avoid smoking for at least 4 weeks.
- Avoid sleeping on your side for at least 1 month.
- Avoid lifting heavy objects or doing strenuous activities for at least 1-3 months.
- Wear a support bra for at least 3-6 months to help hold the breasts in shape and reduce swelling and bruising after surgery.
5. Watch for symptoms after breast augmentation surgery
If, after breast augmentation surgery, you notice any abnormal symptoms, such as the surgical wound becoming swollen and red, having pus, oozing blood, or other bodily abnormalities such as fever, coughing, or difficulty breathing, see a doctor immediately.
