10 frequently asked questions about breast augmentation in Dubai.
If you are considering breast augmentation in Dubai to boost your self-confidence and achieve the figure you have always wanted, then you will likely have a lot of questions about the procedure, the recovery process, and your desired results. When considering surgery of any kind, the most important part of that decision is choosing the right surgeon. Your surgeon should be board-certified with extensive experience specifically in the area of your chosen treatment.
In this article, we spoke with Dr. Maurizio Viel, our cosmetic surgeon at Cornerstone Clinic in Dubai, who has over 30 years of experience as a plastic surgeon and has performed countless breast augmentation procedures. Below you will find the top 10 most frequently asked questions Dr. Maurizio is asked by his patients to help prepare you for surgery.
What is breast augmentation, and who is it suitable for?
Breast augmentation, is a surgical procedure that involves placing breast implants to increase the size and improve the shape of the breasts. It is suitable for individuals who desire a fuller breast appearance, have naturally small breasts, or wish to restore breast volume after pregnancy or weight loss.
How is the breast augmentation procedure performed?
Breast augmentation is typically performed under general anaesthesia. During the surgery, an incision is made in the breast crease. The implant is then placed either behind the breast tissue or beneath the chest muscle. Dr. Maurizio Viel will discuss the incision options and placement techniques with you to determine the most appropriate approach. Typically, Dr Viel will place the implants over the muscle giving it a more natural look and less pain as no muscles have to be cut in the process.
How do I choose the right implant size?
Selecting the right implant size is a crucial decision. Dr. Maurizio will guide you through the process, considering your anatomy, body proportions, and desired outcome. Preoperative imaging and discussions will help you visualize the potential results. We use 3D imaging for the patients to get an idea of how their breast shape and volume will change with various implant options.
Can breast augmentation correct sagging breasts?
Breast augmentation alone may not correct significant breast sagging. However, combining a breast lift (mastopexy) with augmentation can address both volume and sagging issues, providing a more comprehensive rejuvenation.
Will breast implants affect breastfeeding or mammograms?
Breast implants do not typically interfere with breastfeeding, especially when the implants are placed beneath the chest muscle. Additionally, advancements in implant technology have made it easier for radiologists to perform accurate mammograms on women with breast implants. However, it is essential to inform your mammography technician about your implants before the procedure.
Can I breastfeed after getting breast implants?
Breast augmentation should not typically interfere with your ability to breastfeed. However, it’s important to discuss your plans for breastfeeding with Dr Maurizio during your consultation. The placement of the implants and the surgical technique used can affect breastfeeding, so it’s important to communicate your goals to ensure the best possible outcome.
Will I lose nipple sensation after breast augmentation?
While some temporary changes in nipple sensation can occur after breast augmentation, most women do not experience a permanent loss of nipple sensation. The vast majority of patients retain normal nipple sensation after the initial healing period.
Will breast augmentation result in noticeable scarring?
Dr. Maurizio uses advanced techniques to minimize scarring. Incisions are strategically placed to ensure they are discreet and easily hidden under clothing or swimwear. With proper care scarring will fade and become less noticeable over time. The scars are typically placed in the breast fold so it is not noticeable although alternative incisions can be made.
How long does it take to see the final results of breast augmentation?
While you will notice an immediate improvement in your breast size and shape after surgery, it takes time for the breasts to settle and the swelling to subside completely. The stitches are removed after 2 weeks. Generally, it can take several weeks to a few months for you to see the final results of your breast augmentation.
What can I expect during the recovery period?
After breast augmentation surgery, it is normal to experience swelling, soreness, and temporary changes in nipple sensitivity. You may need to wear a special supportive bra and avoid strenuous activities for a few weeks. Dr. Maurizio will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions and closely monitor your recovery to ensure optimal results and a smooth recovery.
Breast augmentation can be a life-changing procedure, boosting your confidence and helping you feel more comfortable in your own skin.
