Breast Augmentation: Confidence with Minimal Discomfort | Dr Maurizio Viel | 06 June 2024

Breast augmentation is a popular cosmetic procedure that can address a variety of concerns and boost self-esteem and when done correctly, it can be considered as one of the least painful procedures. Breast augmentation surgery is suitable for women seeking to:

  • Enhance breast size for aesthetic reasons
  • Restore breast volume after mastectomy
  • Correct asymmetry caused by ageing, childbirth, or weight fluctuations

 

CHOOSING THE RIGHT IMPLANTS 

During your consultation, our experienced surgeon, Dr Maurizio Viel at Cornerstone Clinic, Dubai Marina, will discuss implant options to achieve your desired look and complement your body type.

Here are the two main types of implants:

  • Saline implants: Filled with sterile saltwater, offering a natural feel.
  • Silicone gel implants: Mimic the feel of natural breast tissue more closely.

 

Breast implants can be saline or silicone and come in a number of shapes and sizes.  Manufacturers of these implants usually now provide lifetime warranties because of the quality used. Our surgeon will discuss every option with you at length prior to surgery and will evaluate your health and explain which surgical methods are best for you based on the conditions of your breasts and skin tone . To help you visualise your possible new physique we can also use technology to show you how your breasts and silhouette will appear after the treatment.

 

MINIMISING SCARRING 

The placement of the implant plays a crucial role in achieving optimal results and minimising scarring. There type of incision chosen depends on factors including the size you’re aiming for and the placement of the implant. The incisions can be:

  • Subglandular: The implant is placed between the breast tissue and chest wall muscle.
  • Submuscular: The implant is positioned beneath the chest wall muscle.

 

LONG-LASTING RESULTS 

Modern implants are designed to last a lifetime, thanks to advancements in materials and technology. However, regular consultations with your surgeon are essential to monitor their condition.

 

UNDERSTANDING POTENTIAL RISKS 

Both saline and silicone implants carry similar potential risks, although these are uncommon. These include:

  • Infection
  • Implant leakage or rupture
  • Scar tissue formation

Your surgeon will discuss these risks thoroughly during your consultation and answer any questions you may have.

 

MINIMALLY INVASIVE PROCEDURE WITH SHORT RECOVERY TIME 

Breast augmentation is considered one of the least painful cosmetic procedures thanks to modern anaesthetic techniques and pain management strategies. The procedure is performed under general anaesthesia and typically takes 1-2 hours. The incision can be made in various locations, depending on your surgeon’s recommendation:

  • Inframammary fold (under the breast)
  • Periareolar (along the edge of the areola)
  • Transaxillary (through the armpit)

Recovery varies depending on the individual and the type of procedure performed. Most patients experience full recovery within 6-8 weeks.
