About this Procedure
Breast augmentation, also called breast enlargement, is surgery in which implants are inserted to increase the size of the breasts, change their shape or make them more even. The NHS describes it as major surgery and explains that the results are not guaranteed and there are risks to consider. Implants are made of silicone or saline, and they can be placed behind the breast tissue or behind the chest muscle.
Women choose breast augmentation for different reasons, including wanting larger breasts, restoring volume after pregnancy or weight loss, or improving uneven breasts. It is important to take time over the decision. Breast implants do not last a lifetime: the NHS notes that some women need further surgery after about 10 years, either because of problems with the implant or because the breasts change around it.
Breast implant surgery is usually carried out under general anaesthetic. The surgeon makes a cut next to or below the breast, positions the implant as agreed in consultation, and closes the incision. According to the NHS, you may go home the same day or need to stay in hospital overnight. It can take a few weeks to recover fully, so you should take a week or two off work, avoid heavy lifting for at least a month, and expect to return to most normal activities after about 6 weeks.
At Medwell, breast augmentation is arranged at Paras Health, Gurugram, a partner hospital in Delhi NCR. Your plastic surgeon discusses implant type, size, shape and placement with you in consultation.
