For women that are not satisfied with the appearance of their breasts can benefit from breast enlargement.

With proper consultation and considering the desired results, the right choice for breast enlargement can be made.

All the treatments are planned carefully at our clinic for safe execution based on the candidate’s specific needs. Often people are confused between fat transfer and breast implants for a natural appearance.

Today in this blog, we will look at both types of procedures breast implant and fat transfer and which option is suitable for you.

What are Breast Implants?

Breast implants are made from medical-grade silicone and they are also known as silicone implants. They are available in different sizes and shapes which helps the surgeon to customize the process depending on the desired results.

Implant Procedure

The silicone breast implantation procedure takes an hour or two and is performed under general anesthesia or sedation. Depending on the nature of the implant, the surgeon will make an incision beneath the nipples, in the underarms, or under the breast crease.

Based on the thickness of the breast tissue, an implant will be inserted under or partly under and partly over the pectoralis major muscle. Once the implants are secured, the incisions will be closed with sutures.

Recovery

After the procedure of breast implants by Dr. Kedarnath Pandya, you will witness some bruising around the breasts. There would be some swelling and soreness as well for the first few days which will subside within 1-2 weeks. After that the patients can resume normal routine activities. However, it is suggested to wait for at least 4 to 6 weeks before resuming strenuous activities. The breast implant surgeon near Ahmedabad will prescribe some pain medication along with aftercare instructions for managing the recovery post-fat transfer.

Implant Results

Once the breast enlargement treatment has been done, the results appear instantly. While the recovery might take a few weeks, the results are visible soon after the procedure. For the initial few days, there will be a sense of pressure on the chest. The breasts will appear big and sit higher on the chest.

After a few days, the muscles will relax and implants will settle into their natural position. The final contour and volume of the breasts would be appealing and satisfactory once the swelling subsides. It might take around 3-4 months but after that, the breasts would feel and look natural.

What is Fat Transfer?

Fat transfer is the surgery that adds volume to one area of the body via injecting the fat cells that are extracted from another area of the body through liposuction. In this case, it is the breasts where the extracted fat is injected into for boob augmentation. It is another method used by cosmetic surgeons to enhance the size and shape of the breasts. It has become quite popular in recent years owing to the natural-appearing results. At Mayfair Aesthetic Surgery, Dr. Kedarnath Pandya focus on providing best results according to your specific health conditions and realistic goals.

Procedure

The fat transfer procedure takes two to three hours and it is performed under general anesthesia or sedation. The procedure begins with the liposuction procedure on the targeted area. Usually, the fat is extracted from the abdomen by inserting a suction cannula via a tiny incision. After extracting fat from the abdomen, it is purified for injection into the breasts. Once the fat is injected, the desired breast shape and size are achieved.

Recovery

After the procedure, you will witness some bruising around the breasts and areas where liposuction was performed. There would be some swelling and soreness as well for the first few days which will subside within 1-2 weeks. After that the patients can resume normal routine activities. However, it is suggested to wait for at least 4 to 6 weeks before resuming strenuous activities. The doctor will prescribe some pain medication along with aftercare instructions for managing the recovery post-fat transfer.

Results

Just like any breast enlargement procedure, the recovery takes a little time but the results appear immediately. Also, the treated area looks slimmer and contoured. The final fat transfer results will appear after the swelling subsides and the fat grafts settle well. It might take 3-6 months.

During this phase, the body will absorb almost 30 to 50% of the grafts and the breasts might lose a little volume. The surgeon considers this loss and injects the optimum amount of fat that the breasts can hold.

Which Procedure is the Best?

Whether to go for breast implant and fat transfer, your cosmetic surgeon near Thaltej can guide you better. The type of breast augmentation depends on the desired goals. The volume you want, availability of body fat, size and shape of the breasts, and other factors need to be considered. The surgeon will suggest a suitable option during the consultation. At times, the cosmetic surgeon in Ahmedabad combines both silicone boobs and fat transfer for a natural look and feel.

Cost

The breast plastic surgery cost differs based on the type of procedure you choose. However, on average, it ranges from INR 60,000 to 2,50,000.
