Breast Augmentation with KMB Hospital, Dr. Looknuu
What Is a Breast Augmentation Program?
A breast augmentation program is a procedure to increase the size or reshape the breasts to look beautiful and suit each individual's body. Whether you feel that “my breasts are too small and I lack confidence when wearing certain clothes” or “my breasts are uneven and I want them to look proportionate,” breast augmentation is one option that can help build your confidence. Nowadays, a breast augmentation program is not just about beauty; it is also a choice for women who want to feel more confident in themselves. You can choose the size, shape, and technique that best suits you and is safe, 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 prominence to the figure, making the look more attractive.
Those with sagging breasts: Especially after pregnancy or weight loss, a breast augmentation program helps restore fuller and firmer breasts.
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 update their look or add a touch of sexiness: A breast augmentation program can transform your look to be more attractive and add charm to every style.
Those who want a breast augmentation program for their career or new opportunities: such as in professions that require an attractive personality, a breast augmentation program may help prepare you for new opportunities.
Which Breast Augmentation Technique Is Right for You?
1. Subglandular Breast Augmentation Technique (Above the Muscle)
Suitable for: those who already have a fair amount of natural breast tissue. Advantages:
- The surgery is simple and takes less time.
- Less pain, faster wound healing, quick recovery.
- The breast shape can be adjusted easily.
2. Submuscular Breast Augmentation Technique (Under the Muscle)
Suitable for: those with little natural breast tissue. Advantages:
- 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 all types of breasts, especially those with sagging breasts. Advantages:
- The implant does not slide or shift to the sides.
- Natural, with no palpable implant edge.
- Reduces the problem of breast rippling.
4. Breast Augmentation with Implants and Autologous Fat (Fat Transfer Breast Augmentation)
This technique uses a liposuction program to remove fat from other areas of the body, such as the abdomen, hips, and thighs, and then injects that fat back into the breasts to increase size, reducing the risk of introducing foreign materials into the body. After injecting the fat into the breasts, the injected fat may not settle equally in everyone; some of it may be reabsorbed on its own, depending on the individual, so the procedure may need to be repeated to maintain the size.
Popular Implant Shapes
Breast augmentation is not only about size; the “shape of the implant” is another important factor that makes the results of a breast augmentation program look beautiful, natural, and suited to each person's body. Today there are many types of breast implants, but the three main shapes most commonly used are as follows:
1. Round Shape Implants
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 pole.
Highlights:
- Make the breasts look full, plump, and close together.
- Help reshape sagging breasts to look firmer.
- If the implant rotates, no abnormality in 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 Shape Implants
Teardrop implants have a wide base and a tapered tip, resembling natural breasts. They are suitable for those who want a natural look without emphasizing upper fullness.
Highlights:
- The shape resembles real breasts, looking natural when standing or moving.
- Suitable for slim figures, or those who want a subtle result that is not easily noticed. 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 sexiness. • Those who already have some breast tissue and only want to adjust the shape.
3. Ergonomix Implants
These have a special feature that allows them to change shape according to the body's movement. When standing, the implant has a teardrop 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: The shape changes with movement, helping the breasts look and move like natural breasts.
- Feel to the touch: This type of implant usually uses a highly elastic gel, giving a feel close to that of natural tissue.
- Reduced risk of Capsular Contracture: The surface of the implant 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 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 making a decision, to achieve results that meet your needs and are the safest.
How Many Types of Implant Surface Are Used in a Breast Augmentation Program?
1. Smooth Surface Implants A smooth, sleek surface with a soft feel that looks natural.
2. Textured Surface Implants A rough surface that helps the implant adhere well to the body and reduces scar tissue formation.
3. Nano Textured Surface Implants The newest type of implant, positioned between smooth and textured surfaces. It has properties that help reduce scar tissue formation and provide the softest, most natural feel.
Incision Positions in a Breast Augmentation Surgery Program
For a breast augmentation surgery program, the position of the incision on the skin can be chosen according to what suits each person's anatomy and preferences. In reality, however, the position of the surgical incision 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 for the surgeon to safely insert the implant without tearing or excessive bruising, located where it can be closed completely without affecting important tissues, and able to be well concealed once the wound has fully healed.
- Axillary incision (under the armpit)
- Periareolar incision (around the areola)
- Inframammary Crease incision (under the breast fold)
Self-Care After a Breast Augmentation Program
1. Follow the doctor's instructions
After a breast augmentation program, the doctor will advise on how to care for yourself afterward, such as wound care, diet, other self-care matters, and follow-up appointments after the breast augmentation program. You should follow the doctor's advice and attend appointments as scheduled to ensure that the surgical wound heals well and that the breast shape is exactly 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 or 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 support the breasts and keep them in shape, and to help reduce swelling and bruising after surgery.
5. Watch for symptoms after the breast augmentation surgery program
If, after the breast augmentation surgery program, you notice any abnormalities such as a swollen, red surgical wound, pus, bleeding oozing out, or other bodily abnormalities such as fever, cough, or difficulty breathing, see a doctor immediately.
